Enterprise Manager and Veeam for MS Azure

[jcofin13]

Will Veeam for Microsoft Azure work with Enterprise Manager?......meaning can you add it to enterprise manager just like you would for your on prem veeam instances (for alerting and reports etc)?

Hello

We have some integrations, if VB for Azure is connected to a VBR Server.
- Monitor Backup Copy Jobs from Veeam Backup for Azure to the VBR Server
- Restore Files from the copied machines
- Centralized license management for VBR and Azure

If you are looking for the backup and snapshot jobs, we don't have them in the enterprise manager.

Thanks

Thanks.....if you have the plugin in your onprem VBR server for VB for Azure....it will be aware but you wont really be able to monitor or run reports on your VB for Azure instance for failures or issues with that instance?

I think that makes sense. I was hoping we could just add the VB for Azure to Enterprise Manager and use this to at least get any alerts and generic reports.

There is no direct integration with the Enterprise Manager. This is only in the main VBR console available and it will show the connectivity status to the appliance.

We do have reports in Veeam ONE specific for the cloud products. Within VB for Azure, you can configure email notifications per policy or benefit from the built-in REST API to build something yourself.

ah...ok. VeeamONE should be fine for us to use for this as well. Thanks for the replies. This is great.

Are there any plans to integrate VB4Azure/AWS into Enterprise Manager? We use VBR, VO, VB4A... but the tools are not that tightly connect. They are not working very well together. For EM, we usually point our OS colleagues to EM for restores. They should not have access to VBR console or the appliances. But not everything they need is yet available there. And in case of Azure or AWS instances they can not use it at all. So in the end we have to give them permissions to VBR and/or appliance - which makes EM kind of useless for us.

It all looks nice on paper, but if you work in an organization where you want to have clear working instructions and a single point of view/operation, neither EM not VO is working for us. In OV you can not use Business Objects for cloud instances. They just do not exist. So our protected VMs on-prem reports are nice, but they don't work for cloud. So we have to create a workaround ourself. In the end this is then a report for everything and VO report is not used.

Hi,

There are no direct plans for an upcoming release but we are looking for future enhancements on the VBR integration for the public cloud products as well as RBAC enhancements.

Do you just give access to specific VMs or do you use some sort of grouping/tagging for it?

Current setup is pretty simple, we have OS teams that are also responsible for restores. Their AD accounts are added to BEM.
