One backup job can protect the data of only one tenant.
After you’ve added a Microsoft Entra ID tenant to the backup infrastructure, you can backup and restore Entra ID resources managed by the tenant.
A log backup repository is a storage area where Veeam Backup for Microsoft Entra ID keeps backups of audit and sign-in logs from protected Microsoft Entra ID tenants.
Beginning with version 12.3, the Veeam Backup & Replication solution allows you to add Microsoft Entra ID tenants to the backup infrastructure and manage data protection and recovery operations for these tenants from a single console.
This section describes how to recover (or move) a backup VM to Microsoft Azure.
This section describes creating a backup copy job that off-loads to the Azure blob after performing a full backup. It will not use the Azure Blob archive tier.
This section describes creating a backup job that backs up at local repositories to sync backup files with Azure cloud and off-loads Azure blob after performing a full backup. It would be best to have a scale-out repository ready before beginning this backup job.
This procedure immediately creates a backup job to backup to Azure Blob Repository without local repositories.
This section describes how to add Azure Blob Object Storage Repositories as the performance tier (hot tier), a capacity tier (cool tier) and an archive (cold tier) tier of the scale-out repository.
A scale-out backup repository allows for horizontal scaling for multi-tier data storage.
Veeam released a version of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v8.1 on January 23, 2025, and it has some enhancements, including support for Ubuntu 24.04 and RedHat 9.4 as backup proxy operating systems, multiple stability, performance, and scalability improvements delivered to ensure product reliability. It also resolved some issues.
This section explains adding Microsoft Azure Archive Storage as an immutability archive backup repository to the backup infrastructure. This repository can only be used as an archive extension of the scaled-out backup repository.
These steps show how to add Microsoft Azure Archive Storage to the backup infrastructure as a backup repository. This repository can only be used as an archive extension of the scaled-out backup repository.
Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to prevent data deletion from the object storage repository by making it momentarily immutable and protecting data from malware activity by keeping several versions of a single backup.
To add Microsoft Azure Blob Storage as an object repository without immutability, you normally integrate the Azure Blob Storage service to store and manage objects without enforcing retention or immutability requirements.
To add Microsoft Azure Compute Accounts to Veeam Backup & Replication (or Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure), you must first integrate your Azure environment with Veeam, which will manage the backup and restoration of Azure Virtual Machines and other computing resources.

Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to prevent data deletion from the archive extent by making it temporarily immutable. It is done to improve security: immutability safeguards your data against loss due to attacks, malware activity, or other malicious actions.
Azure Archive Storage is a low-cost, high-durability cloud storage tier inside Azure Blob Storage specifically built for infrequently accessed data and long-term storage. It is the most cost-effective storage tier for data you do not need to access frequently, making it suitable for backup data you wish to keep for an extended term.
