Veeam Backup Repository Settings

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

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

Specifying Backup Server Settings

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

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

1. In the Address field, specify the DNS name or IP address of the Veeam backup server.
2. In the Port field, specify the 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 in the user name of the account that has access to the Veeam backup repository.
4. In the Domain field, type in the 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 in the 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 in 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. To learn more, see Specify GFS Retention Settings.
3. In the Restore points field, specify the number of backup files that you want to keep in the target location. By default, Veeam Agent keeps 7 latest backup files. When the number of restore points is exceeded, Veeam Agent will remove the earliest restore point from the backup chain. To learn more, see the Short-Term Retention Policy.
4. Select Advanced to specify advanced settings for the backup job. To learn more, see Specify Advanced Backup Settings.
