# Specifying Settings for Microsoft Azure Repository

If you have selected to import backup from a Microsoft Azure storage repository, specify settings to connect to the storage:

1. [Specify account settings](#storage).
2. [Specify container settings](#cont).

## Specifying Account Settings {#storage}

The **Account** step of the wizard is available if you have chosen to import backup from a Microsoft Azure storage repository.

::: note

The **Allow storage account key access** option for Shared Key authorization must be enabled in the storage account. For more information on how to find this option, see [Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/shared-key-authorization-prevent?tabs=portal#remediate-authorization-via-shared-key).

:::

To connect to the Microsoft Azure storage, specify the following:

1. In the **Account** field, enter the storage account name.
2. In the **Shared key** field, enter the storage account shared key.
3. In the **Region** window, select a Microsoft Azure region based on your regulatory and compliance requirements. By default, Veeam Agent uses the **Azure Global (Standard)** region.
