Integration with Veeam Backup & Replication

Starting from Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure version 6.0, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure is part of the Veeam Backup & Replication solution. Microsoft Azure Plug-in for Veeam Backup & Replication extends the Veeam Backup & Replication functionality and allows you to add backup appliances to Veeam Backup & Replication. With Microsoft Azure Plug-in for Veeam Backup & Replication, you can manage data protection and recovery operations for all these appliances from a single Veeam Backup & Replication console.

Version 6.0 comes with a major feature — the ability to create backups of Azure Virtual Network configuration components — that is available only for backup appliances managed by a Veeam Backup & Replication server. To unlock the full functionality, you must install Microsoft Azure Plug-in for Veeam Backup & Replication on the server and add your appliances to the backup infrastructure.

Important

Consider the following:

  • When managing a backup appliance by a Veeam Backup & Replication server, the backup appliance sessions are synchronized with Veeam Backup & Replication for the last 24 hours only.
  • If you remove a backup appliance from the backup infrastructure, you will no longer be able to enable and start virtual network configuration backup policies.
  • If the connection between a backup appliance and the backup server is lost for more than 31 days, the appliance will enter the standalone mode, and you will no longer be able to back up your virtual network configurations.
