Backup of Encrypted VMs

In this article

Veeam Backup & Replication supports encrypted VMs. To let Veeam Backup & Replication successfully back up encrypted VMs, the backup infrastructure must meet the following requirements:

VM encryption instances must be pre-configured in the virtual infrastructure: you must set up the key management server, create the VM encryption policy and assign it to VMs in advance.
The backup proxy used for backup must be working in the Virtual appliance transport mode or Network transport mode with SSL encryption enabled.
The backup proxy working in the Virtual appliance transport mode must be deployed on an encrypted VM.
