Copying Backups to Tapes

Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to automate copying of image-level backups of Azure VMs to tape devices and lets you specify scheduling, archiving and media automation options. For more information on the supported tape libraries, see Tape Devices Support.

Before you start copying backup to tapes:

• Copy Azure VM backups to on-premises backup repositories. To learn how to copy backups, see the instructions provided in Creating Backup Copy Jobs.

• Connect tape devices to Veeam Backup & Replication as described in Tape Devices Deployment.
• Configure the tape infrastructure as described in Getting Started with Tapes (steps 1–3).

To copy Azure VM backups to tapes, create a backup to tape job as described in Creating Backup to Tape Jobs.
