Connecting to Microsoft Entra ID Repositories (Linux Deployments)
In case if your version of Veeam Backup & Replication does not have a pre-packed configuration database connection utility that allows you to connect to Entra ID repositories automatically, you need to establish the connection manually — to do that, obtain root access and run the following command on the backup server:
VEEAM_SETUP_ENTRA_ID_PGSQL_PASSWORD=<password> dotnet /opt/veeam/vbr/Veeam.Backup.Setup.Linux.dll entraiddbconfigurator /EntraIdSqlServerName:<servername> /EntraIdSqlServerPort:<5432> /EntraIdSqlServerLogin:<serverlogin> |
Make sure to specify the password, DNS name or IP address, port and login required to connect to the necessary instance.
Every time a new backup job starts, Veeam Backup & Replication will check whether a dedicated database for the protected tenant already exists on the remote PostgreSQL instance; if there is no such database, Veeam Backup & Replication creates it. If Veeam Backup & Replication encounters any connectivity issues when running the job, you will be prompted to run a repository rescan.
