Step 4. Specify Backup Proxy Server
At this step of the wizard, select a backup proxy server and specify a directory where you want to store backups.
Note |
Directory where you want to store backups must not be the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 installation folder. |
You can use the default backup proxy server or another remote backup proxy server added to the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 infrastructure.
Consider the following:
- By default, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 will use the default backup proxy server.
- A remote backup proxy server must be Windows-based.
- A remote backup proxy server must not be added to a backup proxy pool.
To specify a backup proxy server and a directory for storing backups, do the following:
- Use the default backup proxy server, or if you want to use a remote backup proxy server, click Select, and then do the following:
- In the Select Backup Proxy window, select a backup proxy server that you want to use.
