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, and supply their own encryption password for the backup repository.

Required Permissions and Settings

To view and manage backup repositories, the following settings and permissions are required:

• The Backup Repositories tab in the Veeam Data Cloud settings menu is only visible if the Global Administrator (GA) of your organization has enabled the Manage Backup Jobs - Allow multiple regions and Manage Backup Jobs - Allow multiple retention periods settings.

• The System Settings permission must be assigned to the Veeam Data Cloud user role in Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365.

For information on Veeam Data Cloud user role permissions, see Managing User Roles.
