Integration with Veeam Backup & Replication
Consider the following:

Consider this in the scenario where the account under which you log in to My Account belongs to multiple organizations.
- You can use a vault storage as an object storage repository or Veeam Cloud Connect repository.
- Veeam Backup & Replication traffic throttling rules apply to Veeam Data Cloud Vault scenarios.
Note |
For Veeam Cloud Connect Backup, you can only use the Veeam Data Cloud Vault storage as a cloud repository if the Veeam Data Cloud Vault object storage repository is added on the service provider side in the connection through a gateway server mode. In this scenario, traffic throttling rules are defined per tenant in the properties of the tenant account. To learn more, see the Network Traffic Throttling section in the Veeam Cloud Connect User Guide. |
- One Veeam Backup & Replication server can be connected to multiple storage vaults. This may be useful if you want to create backups in different locations.
- Multiple Veeam Backup & Replication servers can be connected to the same storage vault. In this scenario, you can add the same storage vault as an object storage repository on multiple backup servers. Each backup server will create backups in a separate folder within this object storage.
