Creating Backup Repository
Veeam Agent for Linux creates backup files in a backup repository. When you create a backup job with the Backup Job wizard, you must specify a target location for the backup. Veeam Agent will create a backup repository in the specified location and save information about this repository in the database.

A backup repository must be created on a separate volume from a volume whose data you plan to back up. |
If you want to create backups in local directory, network shared folder or object storage, you must create a repository. To learn more, see the following sections:
