Private Network Deployment

The private deployment feature allows you to increase the security of your environment by retaining network traffic within a private network.

With Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure, you can perform the following operations in a private environment:

Create image-level backups and cloud-native snapshots of Azure VMs.
Create backups of Azure SQL databases.
Create backups of Cosmos DB accounts.
Create cloud-native snapshots of Azure file shares.

When a backup appliance is deployed in a private environment, it is not assigned any public IPv4 address, and you will have to perform a number of additional configuration actions to allow private network access. For more information, see Working in Private Environments.
