Challenge
Direct Restore to Azure functionality does not support Microsoft Azure Government Cloud.
Cause
Microsoft Azure Government Cloud requires a different Azure environment configuration that Veeam Backup & Replication does not implement out of the box.
Solution
To enable experimental support of Microsoft Azure Government Cloud in Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 3, follow these steps:
- Download and apply the registry file
- Restart Veeam Backup Service (note that it will interrupt all running jobs)
- Add an Azure account
