Step 7. Configure Repository Settings

At the Repositories step of the wizard, a list of all repositories already configured on the selected backup appliance will be displayed. After you complete the wizard, Veeam Backup & Replication will automatically add these repositories to the backup infrastructure.

You can specify the following configuration settings for each repository whose restore points you want to use to recover backed-up data:

1. In the Repositories list, select the necessary repository and click Edit.
2. In the Repository window:

1. [Applies only to backup repositories] From the Credentials drop-down list, select access keys of an IAM user whose permissions will be used to access the backup repository. For more information on the required permissions, see Plug-in Permissions.

For access keys of an IAM user to be displayed in the Credentials list, they must be added to the Cloud Credentials Manager as described in section Access Keys for AWS Users. If you have not added the necessary keys to the Cloud Credentials Manager beforehand, you can do it without closing the Repository window. To do that, click either the Manage accounts link or the Add button, and specify the access and secret key in the Credentials window.

2. [Applies only to storage vaults] Register the backup server in Veeam Data Cloud Vault — to do that, click Authorize. Then, specify credentials of a Veeam account that will be used to access the storage vault and click Log in in the opened authentication window.

Make sure that the storage vault is assigned to this backup server. For more information, see the Veeam Data Cloud User Guide, section Managing Storage Vaults.

3. From the Use the following gateway server for the Internet access drop-down list, select a gateway server that will be used to provide access to the repository.

For a gateway server to be displayed in the Use the following gateway server for the Internet access drop-down list, it must be added to the backup infrastructure. For more information on gateway servers, see Solution Architecture.

4. If encryption is enabled for the repository, the following scenarios may apply:

• If data in the repository is encrypted using a password, select the Use the following password for encrypted backups check box. From the drop-down list, select the password that is used to encrypt data. Veeam Backup & Replication will use the specified password to decrypt backup files stored in this repository.

For a password to be displayed in the Use the following password for encrypted backups drop-down list, it must be added to the Password Manager as described in section Creating Passwords. If you have not added the necessary password beforehand, you can do it without closing the Repository window. To do that, click either the Manage accounts link or the Add button, and specify the password and hint in the Password window.

• [Applies only to backup repositories] If data in the repository is encrypted with a KMS key, Veeam Backup & Replication will automatically display the used KMS key in the Perform AWS encryption with the following KMS key drop-down list — but you will not be able to change this key.

For Veeam Backup & Replication to be able to decrypt data stored in the repository, the IAM user whose permissions will be used to access the repository must also have permissions to access KMS keys. For more information on the required permissions, see Plug-in Permissions.

After you finish working with the wizard, all the configured repositories will be displayed in the Backup Infrastructure view under the External Repositories node.
