Performing Configuration Backup and Restore

You can back up and restore the configuration database that stores data collected from Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliances. The configuration contains the following information: existing backup policies, protected Azure resources, deployed worker instances, logged session records, local user accounts and so on.

The configuration backup is helpful if an appliance goes down for some reason. In this case, you can reinstall the appliance and quickly restore its configuration from a backup. You can also use a configuration backup to migrate the configuration of one backup appliance to another backup appliance in the Microsoft Azure infrastructure.

We recommend that you regularly perform configuration backup for every appliance present in the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure. Periodic configuration backups reduce the risk of data loss and minimize the administrative overhead costs in case any problems with an appliance occur.
