Challenge
This article covers two most popular scenarios of adding an SMB 3.0 repository to Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Note: If the SMB 3.0 share is a Windows-based shared folder, then it is recommended to add the server it’s based on as a proxy and connect the same storage as a directly attached disk.
