Managing Backup Repositories

Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 uses backup repositories as a storage system for backups. Users can edit their backup repositories, add new backup repositories within their storage region, and supply their own encryption password for a backup repository.

Only users with the OrganizationAdmin or M365:Administrator roles or a custom role with the Manage Tenants permission can manage the backup repositories of their tenant. For more information about roles, see Roles.
