Created S3 compatible object storage, but not available on backup menu


I followed the Veeam setup guide as well as Microsoft 365 to Veeam Backup to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage.  Everything looks great, I have the following Backup Proxies and Repositories.  I used modern authentication.  No errors anywhere. 

However when I create a backup the only choice is the Default Backup Repository.

What might I be missing here?

Hi @InformationResults!

 

This is because you have to create a backup repository that you extend with object storage, this way your VB365 install will keep metadata on that repository and then the objects themselves in the cloud.
