How to Use Veeam Data Cloud Vault with ExpressRoute with Private Peering

Configuration Notes

• This article covers customers using ExpressRoute with Private Peering.
  When using Express Route with Microsoft Peering, the steps below in this article do not need to be performed.
• Using an Azure VM as the Veeam Gateway and Mount server, traffic for backup and restore operations will run within Azure.
  Note: Egress may be applicable depending on the destination of the restored data.

1. Create an Azure VM based on Veeam Proxy system requirements.
2. Assign the VM a static IP address in Azure VM settings -> IP configuration.

3. Within the local environment, create a DNS entry for the Azure VM created in the previous steps.
   This DNS entry will be used when adding the Azure VM to Veeam Backup & Replication, and allowing it to be assigned the Proxy and Gateway roles.

4. Using the FQDN DNS entry created, add the Azure VM as a managed Windows server within Veeam Backup & Replication.
5. Assign that managed Windows as a General-Purpose Backup Proxy within Veeam Backup & Replication.
6. Add the Veeam Data Cloud Vault repository, on the Account tab under Connection mode, click Choose... and select the Azure VM Veeam Proxy.
