Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure uses service accounts to perform the following operations:
- To enumerate resources added to backup policies.
- To create snapshots and backups of Azure resources protected by policies.
- To create and manage worker instances.
- To attach virtual disks to worker instances when performing image-level backup.
- To restore Azure VMs, virtual disks and files and folders from cloud-native snapshots and image-level backups.
- To restore Azure SQL databases from image-level backups.
- To restore files of Azure file shares from cloud-native snapshots.
- To create and manage backup repositories, and so on.
Tip |
To manage backup repositories, you can use service accounts or create specific repository accounts. For more information on permissions required for repository accounts, see Azure Repository Account Permissions. |
The following permissions are required for Azure service accounts to get access to Azure resources that you want to protect. The dataActions list of permissions is required only if you plan to use service accounts to manage backup repositories, and to encrypt data stored in backup repositories using the Azure Key Vault Service.
