Deployment

To deploy Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure, do the following:

1. Deploy the backup server as described in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Installing Veeam Backup & Replication.

Alternatively, you can use a backup server that already exists in your backup infrastructure if it meets the Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft Azure system requirements.

2. Install Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft Azure on the backup server.

This step applies only to Veeam Backup & Replication versions prior to 12. Version 12 (and later) comes with Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft Azure pre-installed by default.

3. Deploy a backup appliance in Microsoft Azure.
