Step 8. Choose Backup Destination

At the Destination step of the wizard, select a target location for the created backup:

Local storage — select this option if you want to save the backup on a removable storage device attached to the endpoint, or on a local drive of the endpoint. With this option selected, you will pass to the Local Storage step of the wizard.
Shared folder — select this option if you want to save the backup in a network shared folder. With this option selected, you will pass to the Shared Folder step of the wizard.
Veeam backup repository — select this option if you want to save the backup on a backup repository managed by a Veeam Backup & Replication server. With this option selected, you will pass to the Backup Server step of the wizard.

Veeam Cloud Connect repository — select this option if you want to save the backup on a cloud repository exposed by the Veeam Cloud Connect service provider or on an object storage repository. With this option selected, you will pass to the Cloud Repository step of the wizard.

Important!

It is strongly recommended that you store backups in the external location like USB storage device, shared network folder or in the cloud. You can also keep your backup files on a separate non-system local drive.
If you choose to store the backup on a Veeam Backup & Replication repository, you must pre-configure user access permissions on this backup repository. For details, see section Setting Up User Permissions on Backup Repositories of the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows User Guide.
If you want to store the backup on an object storage repository, you must first connect this repository to Veeam Service Provider Console. For details, see Integration with Object Storage Repositories.
If you plan to assign the policy to hosted Veeam backup agents, you must not choose Veeam Cloud Connect repository as a backup target.
