Note

Consider the following:

Before you install the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 REST API component on a separate machine, check system requirements.
If you want to restore your backed-up data using Restore Portal in different regions, you must use a separate installation of the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 REST API component and a separate Azure AD application in each Microsoft Azure region.

To install the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 REST API component on a separate machine, do the following:

Download the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 installation package.
Open the Veeam.Backup365.iso file and run the Veeam.Setup.exe file.
On the splash screen, click Install.

Click Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 REST API & Restore Portal.
