How to use Storadera with
Veeam Backup & Replication

The simplest way is to use Veeam native Object Storage integration.

For that you will need “Enterprise or Enterprise Plus” license and at least version 9.5. 

This guide is done with version 10.

This guide is for illustration purposes only. Make sure you understand what every step means and consult Veeam documentation or representative for information if needed.

Select “Extend scale-out backup repository capacity with object storage” and choose the Object storage created before.

Choose other options as you see fit. At first, for testing, it is recommended to check “Copy backups to object storage as soon as they are created”. Then they are sent immediately after backup (but not during the backup).

Click “Apply” and then “Finish”.

Start using object storage

Veeam object storage can’t be used directly. This is why we create a “Scale-out repository”.

Now, if you would like direct backups to object storage, set target to the newly create “Scale-out repository”. It should appear in repositories list when you configure your backup.
