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.

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:

1. Use the default backup proxy server, or if you want to use a remote backup proxy server, click Select, and then do the following:

1. In the Select Backup Proxy window, select a backup proxy server that you want to use.

2. Click OK.

2. In the Path field, specify a directory to store your backups. To do this, click Browse and select a directory.

3. Click Get free space if you want to know the available space on the selected backup proxy server.
