# Backup as a Service

## Veeam Documentation

For complete Veeam Cloud Connect documentation please see the [Veeam Cloud Connect Tenant Guide](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/cloud/cloud_connect_user_guide.html?ver=120)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Backup as a Service requires Veeam Backup and Replication version 12 or higher
{% endhint %}

## Requirements

To successfully complete configuration of the BaaS solution you will need the following:

* A completed Backup as a Service order with Hosted Network
* Access to the Veeam Backup & Replication server for your customer (if using BaaS as a cloud repository for an existing Veeam deployment)
* Administrative access to any servers or workstations you need to install a Veeam Agent on (if backing up directly to cloud rather than using VBR server)
* Access to any advanced firewalls or UTM in use at the customer site in case opening of ports or adjustment of security policies is required for backups to succeed
