Backup jobs created by Veeam Agent for Linux 2.0 or later.You can copy backups that reside on scale-out backup repositories and store backup copies on scale-out backup repositories.As a result, you will not have to move backups to a backup repository of a larger size.Ī scale-out backup repository can be used for the following types of jobs and tasks: And the free space on this storage system will be added to the capacity of the scale-out backup repository. If your backup data grows and the backup repository reaches the storage limit, you can add a new storage system to the scale-out backup repository at any moment. To safely reclaim valuable storage space on your on-premises devices and make it easier to place the backup data to cloud repositories, Veeam Backup & Replication implements proprietary mechanisms that help you efficiently offload your data from the extents to cloud-based object storage every 4 hours. You can configure this with VMware and Hyper-V infrastructure. Our setup is vSphere 6.7, Veeam Server 2012 R2 and Azure Blob storage using part of the scale-out repository. In this article, we will share the procedure to configure the scale-out backup repository in Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 update4.
The scale-out backup repository functionality is available only in Enterprise and Enterprise Plus editions of Veeam Backup & Replication. For long-term storage, you can instruct Veeam Backup & Replication to offload data from extents to the cloud-based object storage such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, IBM Cloud Object Storage, and S3 Compatible. When you configure the scale-out backup repository, it creates a pool of storage devices and systems, summarizing their capacity. The scale-out backup repository is a logical entity which groups several backup repositories called extents.
