This new disk is going to be the repostiory for Veeam Endpoint within the VM So we create a virtual machine in Azure and then use the portal to attach an empty data disk for the virtual machine NOTE: Doing Veeam backup directly to SMB file shares is not working The reason why is that we can use Veeam Endpoint do to backup to an data disk (which is attached to an individual VM) then create a task to move the backup to an SMB files store (in case the virtual machines crashes or is unavailable we have the backup on an SMB file share and that makes it accessable for all other virtual machines within that storage account. While some people do Windows Server Backup directly to another Azure VM disk, I figured why not give Veeam a try with Data disk and use it in conjunction with SMB files. Now since this currently has alot of limitations I figured what other options do we have? In Azure, Microsoft has currently a preview feature called Azure VM backup, which in essence is a image based backup of virtual machines in Azure. A while back I blogged about Veeam Endpoint while it is aimed at Physical computers / servers it has another purpose that I just discovered.
