Question about a service to store Veeam Backup backups in Azure

David Fernando Lopez Cueca 60

I have a client who is facing a problem with their on-premises data center storage for backups and wants to explore the available Azure options for storing backups in the cloud. I've researched this and the best option to meet this need is a storage account, but I'm unsure if there's a direct Veeam solution within Azure or another service that could address this client's requirement.

Hi David Fernando Lopez Cueca,

Thanks for reaching out in Microsoft Q&A forum,

Your client can effectively offload on-premises backups to Azure Storage Accounts, particularly Blob storage with Cool or Archive tiers for cost efficiency and features like immutability. Veeam Backup & Replication integrates directly by targeting Azure Blobs as repositories, keeping their existing workflows intact without needing a fully native Azure-hosted Veeam service. Azure Backup offers agent-based alternatives like MARS for simple file-level protection to vaults.

Azure Blob Storage: Scalable, cheap long-term retention; enable immutability policies and network rules for secure on-prem access.
Veeam to Azure: On-prem Veeam jobs write directly to Blob containers; supports scale-out repos for petabyte growth and hybrid restore.
Azure Backup (MARS Agent): Install on Windows servers for file/system backups to Recovery Services vaults no storage account needed upfront.

If they're Veeam users, stick with Blob targets for familiarity and economics; it's validated by Microsoft and avoids vault overhead. Native Azure Backup suits lighter, agent-driven needs without third-party licenses. Always layer on encryption scopes and soft delete for compliance.
