Deployment

To start working with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, you must deploy the solution to your environment.

Consider the following:

If you have been participating in the public beta testing of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, make sure to uninstall the pre-release (BETA) versions of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and Veeam Explorers.
To use the solution in hybrid Exchange deployment or on-premises organizations with SPN and Kerberos authentication, make sure to install Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 on a server that is located within the domain with the source Microsoft Exchange server.
The solution can be deployed to virtual or physical machines or directly to cloud platforms such as Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 REST API component can be deployed either on a Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server or on a separate machine. Installing REST API separately from a Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server allows you to decrease the load on infrastructure when exploring and restoring data from backups in a web browser window using the Restore Portal. Restore Portal allows users to perform self-service restore. For more information, see Installing REST API on Separate Machine and Configuring REST API and Restore Portal on Separate Machine.
