Access and Encryption Settings on Repositories

To be able to store backups on a Veeam backup repository, an account must have access permissions on this backup repository.

To grant access permissions, do the following:

1. In Veeam Backup & Replication, open the Backup Infrastructure view.
2. In the inventory pane, click the Backup Repositories node or the Scale-out Repositories node.

3. In the working area, select the necessary backup repository, click Set Access Permissions on the ribbon or right-click the backup repository and select Access permissions.

4. In the Access Permissions window, specify to whom you want to grant access permissions on this backup repository:

• Allow to everyone — select this option if you want to grant repository access to any user. This option is equal to granting access rights to the Everyone group in Microsoft Windows (anonymous users are excluded). For security reasons, the option is not recommended for production environments.
• Allow to the following accounts or groups only — select this option if you want only specific users to be able to store backups on this repository. Click Add to add the necessary users and groups to the list.

5. Veeam Plug-ins cannot send backups or backup copies to a repository where encryption is enabled. Thus, unselect the Encrypt backups stored in this repository check box.
