Hi Mohamed,

you can back up the external drive with Veeam Agent for Windows but there are restrictions:
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows supports backup of external drives that support Microsoft VSS: HDD, SSD, and so on. USB flash drives (USB sticks) are not supported, because it is impossible to create a VSS snapshot on a device of this type.
Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks!

If you can make this cloud data accessible via an SMB or an NFS file share, you should be able to back it up with Veeam using the File Share backup job.
