Deployment

To start working with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, you must deploy the solution to your environment. For more information about Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 architecture, see Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Architecture.

Consider the following:

If you have been participating in the public beta testing of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, make sure to uninstall the pre-release (BETA) versions of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and Veeam Explorers.
To use the solution in hybrid Exchange deployment or on-premises organizations with SPN and Kerberos authentication, make sure to install Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 on a server that is located within the domain with the source Microsoft Exchange server.
The solution can be deployed to virtual or physical machines or directly to cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 REST API component can be deployed either on the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server or on a separate machine. Deployment of the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 REST API component on a separate machine decreases the load on the backup infrastructure when exploring and restoring data from backups using Restore Portal. For more information, see Installing REST API, Configuring REST API and Restore Portal on Separate Machine and Data Restore Using Restore Portal.
You can deploy a PostgreSQL instance and the NATS server on the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server, or you can use the already installed instances.
