Step 5. Specify Backup Proxy and Repository

At this step of the wizard, specify a backup proxy server that you want to use to process data during a backup job session and a backup repository where you want to keep your backups.

To specify a backup proxy server and backup repository, do the following:

From the Backup proxy drop-down list, select a backup proxy server that you want to use to process data during a backup job session.
From the Backup repository drop-down list, select a backup repository to which you want to save your data.

You can select a JET-based backup repository or backup repository that was extended with object storage.

When selecting an extended backup repository, all data will be compressed and backed up directly to object storage; Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 saves only cache to the extended backup repository.

Note

Consider the following:

If you want to extend a backup job with backup copy capabilities, you must specify an extended backup repository.
Backup repositories extended with Azure Blob Storage Archive access tier and all Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes are not listed.
