# Creating Backup Repository

After you mounted the storage with a backup file, set it as a location for a Veeam Agent backup repository. To do this, use the following command:

```
veeamconfig repository create --name <repository_name> --location <path>
```

where:

- `<repository_name>` — desired name for the backup repository.
- `<path>` — path to the directory in the local file system of the machine in which the backup file is stored.

For example:

```
srv01# veeamconfig repository create --name VeeamBackup --location /mnt/backup
```
