Step 4. Specify Restore Settings

At the Settings step of the wizard, you can specify the following:

• Azure Service Account or Entra ID Application that Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft Azure will use to perform the restore operation
• Settings for the SQL Server that will host the restored database

• New names for the restored databases

Specifying Authentication Method

To specify the authentication method to connect to the SQL server, select one of the following options:

• Username and Password — select this option to use an Azuse SQL account. In the SQL Account section, click Select account and choose the necessary SQL account.

• Entra ID Application — select this option to use an Entra ID application.

To enable Microsoft Entra ID authentication, the Azure SQL Server must have your Azure Service Account application ID configured as its Entra ID administrator. You can set the Entra ID administrator in the settings of the Azure SQL Server in the Azure portal. To learn more, see Microsoft documentation.

1. In the Database Settings section, select a database and click Edit.
2. In the Database Settings window, in the Instance field, specify a new name for the database.
3. After you specify a new name for the restored Azure SQL database, click Save.
