Backup Copy from Azure Repository - Am I doing it wrong or is a licensing issue?

Post by MattMattMatt »

Hello,

I'm using instructions in the webpage below to link the Azure Storage Account used by my Veeam Backup for Azure app to my on-premise Veeam install. (Which is the *community* edition.)

https://jorgedelacruz.uk/2020/05/28/vee ... for-azure/

All has gone well and I can browse the Azure repository from my on-prem install. ...but according the link I should also have an option under Backup Copy of 'Azure IaaS Backup'.

Well. I don't. I only have 'virtual machine' and 'Windows computer backup'.

Is this a limitation of the community edition or is there something I may have missed?

Thanks!

Matt

Hi Matt

Yes, a paid license is required.

IMPORTANT
Mind the following for copying backups created with Veeam Backup for AWS, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure or Veeam Backup for Google Cloud:

You can copy such backups only if you have paid types of license. Veeam Backup Community Edition is not supported.
Thanks

Great - thanks for the quick response.

(I swear I did try looking for that info before posting. Not very well, evidently!)
