Connecting to a Remote Microsoft Entra ID Repository

A Microsoft Entra ID backup repository is a PostgreSQL instance where Veeam Backup for Microsoft Entra ID stores backups of protected Microsoft Entra ID tenants and logs. By default, Veeam Backup & Replication saves all backed-up data to the local PostgreSQL instance installed on the backup server. To change this behavior, you can connect to a remote PostgreSQL instance and use it as the target backup repository in your Windows or Linux deployment of Veeam Backup & Replication.

Important

Due to technical limitations, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Entra ID supports connection only to one remote repository at a time, which means that as soon as you connect to a new remote repository, the connection to the previous one will be lost. Consider copying your existing restore points to a default repository before connecting to a new remote repository.
