So from the Veeam backup server I just added the network share which points to a storage account which resides in the same region my virtual appliance is and started uploading (took about 15 minutes) We can use the Veeam Azure FastSCP feature (which is the recommended way) or we can use the SMB 3 Share option which was just released in Azure (Which I have blogged about here –> ) There are multiple ways that we can do this. Now in order to actually use this, we need to ship a Veeam backup file up there in some way.

Its pretty straight forward, using a publishsettings file to be able to connect to the Azure subscription Clicking on the Azure Recovery will put the entire screen in like a advanced start menu screen, and from there we are given different options. This is based upon a marketplace template in Azure which can be found here –> (and no you cannot provision a marketplace VM with a free sub)Īfter the machine has been provisioned and you have logged inn you have two options available (Now remember even thou it is free you still need to pay Microsoft for the compute resources!) but anyways this allows us to restore our on-premises Windows-based VMs, physical servers and endpoints directly to Azure! So Veeam Direct Restore is a free virtual appliance from Veeam which delivers cloud restore options for Veeam Backup and replication and also for Veeam Endpoint backup.

There are a few parameters that can be changed which are listed below.Today Veeam annonced a new cool feature for all of us Microsoft Azure friends!


Throttling, however, happens on a per account base so leveraging multiple is a major improvement. By leveraging auxiliary backup accounts, it reduces the risk of throttling which Microsoft has in place. With the release of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v4, a new feature was added to improve backing up SharePoint and OneDrive for Business data.
