Adding Object Storage

You can add a new S3 Compatible or IBM object storage repository to the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 backup infrastructure.

Adding Object Storage Note

If an object storage uses a self-signed SSL certificate, you must add this certificate to the trusted root of the server that runs Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 REST API service. Otherwise, this method will not work.
