Creating Backup Repositories

To target backup jobs to Veeam Data Cloud Vault, you must add the storage vault as a repository to your backup infrastructure.

In Veeam Service Provider Console plugin, you can create new repositories using the following ways:

• Simple Mode — use this mode to create repositories for multiple companies at the same time, if each company has only one vault tenant and one storage vault assigned.

In this mode, Veeam Service Provider Console will register Veeam Backup & Replication servers in Veeam Data Cloud as part of the repository creation process. Folder and repository names will be assigned automatically based on the backup server names.

• Advanced Mode — use this mode to manually select a storage vault and a folder for a backup repository.

In this mode, you can create only one repository at a time.
