Backup Repository Question

[JTC12]

I'm trying to setup Veeam Backup for Office 365. I have Veeam backing up the VMs to a Internal and External Drive on one of the Hyper-V host. How do I add the Backup drives to the Veeam Backup for Office. I'm unable to add the host as a proxy. Should I share a folder from each drive and then map it to Veeam?

Hello,

I have Veeam backing up

Which "Veeam"? Which product are you using (that I can move the question to the right forum)? Veeam Backup & Replication or Veeam Agent for Windows? Where is the Veeam software installed?

Nothing should be installed on a Hyper-V host. That's a general best practice.

How do I add the Backup drives to the Veeam Backup for Office

can you maybe explain a little bit more? What do you want to back up where? The VBO server should back up to VM disks (virtual disks). Then Veeam Backup & Replication or Veeam Agent for Windows can back up the virtual VBO server to another location

Best regards,
Hannes

JTC12,

Using the same repositories as in VBR is not possible. VBO uses either a Jet DB as a repository, or object storage. The reason is that VBO does application protection and VBR does image-based backup. In the helpcenter you will be able to see what types of storage you can attach to a VBO server, but preferred is local storage (in the case of a Jet DB repository). If you are running VBO as a VM, you can easily create a new VHDX and attach that to the VM

Hope it helps
Mike

Thanks for the input. I added a VHDX to my backup server and created the VBO job there. The backup server has a VBR Backup setup.
