Configuring Helper Appliances

Before you configure helper appliances, consider the following:

• Veeam Backup & Replication uses its built-in credentials record to work with all helper appliances. For security reasons, we recommended that you change a password for this account before you set up the helper appliances. Changing credentials is required only once. For more information, see Changing Credentials for Helper Appliances.
• If you plan to restore Linux workloads to different locations, you must configure a helper appliance in each location to which workloads will be restored.

Helper appliances are configured when you add a Microsoft Azure compute. For more information, see the Helper Appliance step description in the Microsoft Azure Compute Accounts section.
