Solution
Scenario 1: Change Database Credentials When Existing Connection is Functioning
This scenario assumes the current connection to the database is valid and that you are simply updating user credentials.
- Create a new DB username/password in PostgreSQL.
- Grant that user permissions for the configuration database and schema.
- Within Veeam Backup for Salesforce, click Configuration, switch to the Salesforce section, then switch to the Database tab.

- Provide the new database username and password, and then click save.
The new user will be saved, and the connection will be re-established.
Scenario 2: Change Database Credentials When Existing Connection Is Unavailable
