Step 4. Specify Backup Policy Settings

At the Backup step of the wizard, specify the following:

1. In the Retention Period field, specify a retention period for which Veeam Data Cloud will keep backups before they are deleted. The maximum value is 99 for both months and years.
2. To allow Veeam Data Cloud to back up your Entra ID Conditional Access policies, select Enable Conditional Access Policies Backup. You can also enable this option later. For details, see Settings.

If you allow Veeam Data Cloud to back up Conditional Access policies, Veeam Data Cloud will automatically assign required permissions to the Microsoft Entra service principal that allows Veeam Data Cloud to back up and restore your Entra ID objects and logs. For details on required permissions, see Permissions.
