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.

Let’s walk through the steps to perform a Physical to Virtual machine (P2V) conversion using Veeam Backup and Replication (VBR) to migrate a physical server to a Cluster virtual machine.
This is a very interesting warning. I migrated many VBR servers, and it’s the first time I’ve encountered this warning.
The detailed warning message is below:
Warning Failed to connect to Red Hat Virtualization plug-in: Failed to login to platform service: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.
QNAP QuObjects application is free and certificated for objects with immutability, which means you can use it as object storage within Veeam for a backup repository that supports their immutability feature.
