Veeam Backup Repository Settings

If you have selected to store backup files on a Veeam Backup & Replication repository, specify settings to connect to the backup repository:

1. Specify backup server settings.
2. Select the Veeam backup repository.

Specifying Backup Server Settings

The Veeam step of the wizard is available if you have chosen to store backup files on a Veeam Backup & Replication repository.

Specify settings for the Veeam backup server that manages the target backup repository:

1. In the Address field, specify a DNS name or IP address of the Veeam backup server.
2. In the Port field, specify a number of the port over which Veeam Agent must communicate with the backup repository. By default, Veeam Agent uses port 10006.
3. In the Login field, type a name of the account that has access to the Veeam backup repository.
4. In the Domain field, type a name of the domain in which the account that has access to the Veeam backup repository is registered, for example: DOMAIN.
5. In the Password field, type a password of the account that has access to the Veeam backup repository.

Permissions on the backup repository managed by the target Veeam backup server must be granted beforehand. To learn more, see Setting Up User Permissions on Backup Repositories.

Selecting Backup Repository

The Repository step of the wizard is available if you have chosen to save backup files on a Veeam Backup & Replication repository.

Specify settings for the target backup repository:

1. From the list of available backup repositories, select a backup repository where you want to store backups. The list of backup repositories displays only those repositories on which you have permissions to store data. To learn more, see Setting Up User Permissions on Backup Repositories.
2. To use the GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) retention scheme, select the Keep full backups for archival purposes check box and select Configure. In the Configure GFS window, specify how weekly, monthly and yearly full backups must be retained. For details, see Specify GFS Retention Settings.
3. In the Restore points field, specify the number of restore points that you want to store in the target location. By default, Veeam Agent keeps 7 latest restore points. After this number is exceeded, Veeam Agent will remove the earliest restore points from the backup chain.

To learn more, see Short-Term Retention Policy.

4. Select Advanced to specify advanced settings for the backup job. To learn more, see Specify Advanced Backup Settings.
