Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Backup copy or Immutability for Entra ID tenant

Hi Sumeet,

Let me share a teaser about our upcoming version 13. V13 will introduce Backup Copy support for Entra ID backups (no dumps required anymore). Backup Copy can use immutable backup repositories as a target. Recovery from a Backup Copy job will allow you to continue backups with primary backup jobs or perform item-level restores of Entra ID objects.

For your questions regarding version 12:
1.) VeeamBackup is the configuration database for Veeam Backup & Replication. The databases for Entra ID backups are named in the following format: "veeamrepository_TenantID". You will have to restore the "veeamrepository_TenantID" database.

2.) The backup server will discover the Entra ID database and restore points during a repository rescan.

3.) Answered in 1.

4.) Not needed.

5.) Perform a rescan and ensure the tenant is registered with the backup server.

6.) Restore the tenant database with the same name to the PostgreSQL server of the other backup server, add the tenant registration, and rescan the Entra ID repository. The restore points will then become available.

7.) Each tenant has its own database.



Best,
Fabian
