Adding Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure Appliances

After you install Microsoft Azure Plug-in for Veeam Backup & Replication, you must add Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliances to the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure. You have two options:

If you have already deployed Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliances, you can add these appliances to the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure.

If you have not deployed Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliances beforehand, you can deploy them from the Veeam Backup & Replication console. In this case, Veeam Backup & Replication will connect to Microsoft Azure and deploy new instances of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure. These Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliances will be added to the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure automatically.

Note

Add a Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance to the infrastructure of only one Veeam Backup & Replication server. If you add the appliance to another Veeam Backup & Replication server, the synchronization between the appliance and the first Veeam Backup & Replication server will be stopped, and the appliance will be displayed as unavailable. The appliance will start consuming license units from the license of the last Veeam Backup & Replication server to which the appliance was added.
