Adding Backup Proxy Servers

In this article

Continue with this section to learn how to add a new backup proxy server to your environment.

Consider the following:

When a new backup proxy server is being added, Veeam installs the Veeam.Archiver.Proxy service (display name in the services.msc console — Veeam Backup Proxy for Microsoft Office 365 Service) on that machine to manage inbound/outbound traffic.
Once you have added a new backup proxy server, you can utilize its capacities to store your backup data by creating a new backup repository on such a proxy. For more information, see Adding Backup Repositories.
If a server that is used as a backup proxy does not have direct access to the internet, you can configure an internet proxy server to be utilized as a gateway. For more information, see Configuring Internet Proxy Server for Backup Proxies.

To add a new backup proxy server, do the following:

Go to Backup Infrastructure > Backup Proxies.
On the Backup Proxy tab, click Add Proxy or right-click a backup proxy server and select Add backup proxy.
Proceed to Specify Proxy Server Address.
