Using Veeam FastSCP for Microsoft Azure for on-premises workloads

This month Veeam released the RTM version of FastSCP for Microsoft Azure.

I really like the tool for my Microsoft Azure VM workloads. But you can use the tool also for your on-premises VM workloads. Just make sure you have enabled Windows Remote Management and the Port 5985 is open. You can easily test it with PowerShell and the Test-NetConnection cmdlet.

DanielsTechBlog.de > Test-NetConnection dc-cdm.azure.local -Port 5985

ComputerName           : dc-cdm.azure.local
RemoteAddress          : 172.16.0.1
RemotePort             : 5985
InterfaceAlias         : VMware Network Adapter VMnet1
SourceAddress          : 172.16.0.254
PingSucceeded          : True
PingReplyDetails (RTT) : 0 ms

Open Veeam FastSCP, click on Add Machine in the Ribbon Bar and enter the details.

Now you are able to download and upload file to your on-premises VM via FastSCP.
