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.
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.
There are some immutability limits in the Azure Blob Storage.
Veeam Backup&Replication supports different types of storage accounts.
