Creating Backup Policies

You can create backup policies in the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure Web UI only. However, you can launch the add policy wizard directly from the Veeam Backup & Replication console — to do that, use either of the following options:

• Switch to the Home tab, click Backup Job on the ribbon, navigate to Microsoft Azure > VM, SQL or File share, and select the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance on which you want to create the backup policy.
• Open the Home view, right-click Jobs, navigate to Backup > Microsoft Azure > VM, SQL or File share, and select the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance on which you want to create the backup policy.

Veeam Backup & Replication will open the Add VM Policy, Add Azure SQL Policy or Add Azure Files Policy wizard in a web browser. Complete the wizard as described in the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure User Guide, section Creating Azure VM Backup Policies, Creating Azure SQL Backup Policies or Creating Azure File Share Backup Policies.
