Step 6. Enable Azure Tags Assigning

At the Tags step of the wizard, you can instruct Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure to assign Azure tags to cloud-native snapshots of the selected Azure VMs:

1. To assign already existing Azure tags from the virtual disks of the processed Azure VM, select the Copy tags from source disk check box.

If you choose to copy tags from the source disks, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure will first create a cloud-native snapshot of the Azure VM and will assign to the created snapshot Azure tags with Veeam metadata, then Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure will copy tags from the disks of the processed VM and, finally, assign the copied tags to the snapshot.

2. To assign your own custom Azure tags, set the Add custom tags to created snapshots toggle to On and specify the tags explicitly. To do that, use the Name and Value fields to specify a name and value for the new custom tag, and then click Add. Note that you cannot add more than 5 custom Azure tags.

If you choose to add custom tags to the created snapshots, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure will assign the specified tags right after it creates a cloud-native snapshot.
