Cannot add Vault Repo for Azure

[dhayes16]

Hello All.
We recently upgraded our on-prem VBR to the latest 13.01 update. And since we are using Azure workloads we upgraded the Azure appliance to the latest build as well.

At the present time we have an on-prem VBR 13.01 server backing up local Hyper-VM's to an on-prem Linux Hardened Repo. Then we have a backup copy job for those VM's targeting Veeam Vault (Advanced). It works perfectly. Now, we also have Veeam VM's as well currently backing up to BLOB storage in the same tenant. We would now like to change the backup policy to send the backups to the new veeam vault instead of BLOB storage (That will eventually just age out). When I try to add the repository via settings/repositories and select Veeam Vault as the type the vault does not show up. As a test I created another vault in the same veeam vault advanced and it does not see it either. So I have the following questions:

#1) How to I resolve the issue above? Do all repos need to be added via VBR 13.01 on prem and will they just appear in Azure as a repo to use? I plan to just repoint the policy to the new veeam vault repo once I can see it.

#2) Somewhat related but to adhere to the 3-2-1 rule I would like to create a backup copy job to send the Azure VM's backup to the LOCAL on-prem linux hardened repo and perhaps create some surebackup jobs.

#3) Since we are running Veeam Vault Advanced and the repo is in the same region (US EAST2) will we be avoiding egress / ingress costs? (assuming I create the backup copy job from the veeam vault to use the repository and NOT the backup job).

As always thank you for any feedback.

1. I would recommend to open a support case for insight on why this is not available.
2. You can use backup copy job feature within VBR to copy Azure VM's to another repository but this is currently not supported for Veeam Vault. SureBackup however is not available for Azure VMs.
3. Normally there are no costs for this unless it passes via a public network. I would recommend to analyze your cost explorer to see how this is handled and data flows.
