Deploying Veeam Appliance

You can deploy a Veeam appliance from a preconfigured image — Microsoft Azure template named ''Veeam Direct Restore to Microsoft Azure'. The appliance will run Microsoft Windows 2012 and will have the following software installed:

• Veeam Backup & Replication functioning in the free operational mode
• Veeam Azure Recovery utility

After you deploy and start the Veeam appliance, Veeam Backup & Replication will display its main view. You can use this view to perform basic operations in Veeam Direct Restore to Microsoft Azure.

To deploy a Veeam appliance from a Microsoft Azure template:

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com.
2. In the menu on the left, click New.
3. In the marketplace, search for the 'Veeam Direct Restore to Microsoft Azure' template.
4. Select the template and click Create.
5. At the Basics step, configure VM basic settings: VM name, user credentials, subscription, resource group and location.
6. At the Size step, choose the VM size.

Make sure that the VM size and configuration meet minimal requirements to the Veeam appliance. For details, see System Requirements.
