Deployment

To deploy solution architecture components, do the following:

Deploy the backup server as described in Installing Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Software Appliance Installation.

Alternatively, you can use a backup server that already exists in your backup infrastructure if it meets the Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft Azure system requirements.

Install Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft Azure on the backup server.

This step applies only to Veeam Backup & Replication versions prior to 12. Version 12 (and later) comes with Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft Azure pre-installed by default.

Deploy a backup appliance in Microsoft Azure.

Important

If you install the backup server as described in section Veeam Software Appliance Installation, you will not be able to access the Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft Azure functionality from theVeeam Backup & Replication Web UI. To work around the issue, install a remote Veeam Backup & Replication console — and then log in to the console using the name or IP address of the backup server. For more information, see Logging in to Veeam Backup & Replication.
