Step 1. Create Private DNS Zones
To create Azure private DNS zones that will allow Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure to operate in your private environment, do either of the following:
- To create the DNS zones manually, log in to the Microsoft Azure portal and create two Azure private DNS zones named privatelink.blob.core.windows.net and privatelink.queue.core.windows.net as described in Microsoft Docs. It is recommended that you create the DNS zones in the same resource group where the backup appliance resides, to simplify resource management.
- To allow Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure to automatically create the DNS zones, you can send the HTTP PUT request to the /api/v8/system/privateDeployment/state endpoint as described in the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure REST API Reference, section System. The DNS zones will be created in the resource group to which the worker instances belong.

If you create the DNS zones manually, make sure that the names of the created private DNS zones are unique within the resource group in which they reside. |
