The Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure is organized around the Veeam backup server running on the SP side. The SP Veeam backup server is a configuration and control center of the Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure. The SP uses the Veeam backup server to set up the Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure and deliver Cloud Repository as a Service and Disaster recovery as a Service to tenants.
The SP Veeam backup server is intended to be used exclusively for configuring backup infrastructure and providing cloud resources to tenants. Performing data backup and recovery tasks with the jobs configured on this server is not allowed by the Veeam Cloud Connect service provider license. To create and run jobs, the SP must deploy separate backup server in his or her Veeam backup infrastructure.

In previous versions of Veeam Backup & Replication, it was allowed for the SP to use the same Veeam backup server for running his or her jobs and managing Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure. If the SP has used such scenario, he or she must follow the SP Veeam backup server split procedure. To learn more, see the following Veeam Knowledge Base article: https://www.veeam.com/kb2139. |
The SP Veeam backup server runs the Veeam Cloud Connect Service — a Microsoft Windows service that is responsible for the following operations:
- Providing access to the cloud repository for tenants
- Controlling transport services that work with the cloud repository
- Communicating with the Veeam Backup & Replication database
The Veeam Cloud Connect Service is deployed on every Veeam backup server. However, Veeam Backup & Replication uses this service only for work with the Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure components.
