NAS backup and object storage
Hi,
We use object storage for capacity tier in a SOBR. Use case is sending backups to this SOBR and copy out to object storage.
Can object storage being used with the same best practices ( read blocksizes etc ) for NAS backup as it can be used for example backup jobs that are pointing out to a SOBR ?

Re: NAS backup and object storage
Hello,
NAS backups are ignored for capacity tier in SOBR
V12 will allow copy to object storage and also direct backup to object storage.
Best regards,
Hannes

Re: NAS backup and object storage
I understand SOBR is not supported for NAS backups, however we are able to use Object storage for archiving withing a NAS job. I am curious what the impact is on blocksizes and sizing for moving NAS backups to the archive tier ( object Storage ).

Re: NAS backup and object storage
ok, that's the archive repository then, without SOBR (SOBR is not supported as archive). I have not seen anybody who could create an estimation formula for sizing the archive. Because it's unpredictable (at least I did not find anyone who can predict it) how much data will end up in the archive.however we are able to use Object storage for archiving withing a NAS job
For block size: I'm not sure, what the question is about. NAS backup is file-based backup. There are no "blocks" with "file" backup.

Re: NAS backup and object storage
Just to verify I be able to run an SMB backup job directly to object storage? Will offloading existing backups to object storage begin after upgrading or will I need to reconfigure any scale out repositories already created?V12 will allow copy to object storage and also direct backup to object storage.

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.
Best regards,
Hannes
and welcome to the forums.
yes, correctrun an SMB backup job directly to object storage
No, it's a backup job setting (one can point to an object storage directly). SOBR is not needed / not changed by the new feature "direct backup to object storage"Will offloading existing backups to object storage begin after upgrading or will I need to reconfigure any scale out repositories already created?
Best regards,
Hannes

Re: NAS backup and object storage
Hello,
yes, NAS data is not copied / moved to capacity tier. Same as in earlier versions.
There are two copy options:
1) backup copy jobs
2) archive repository in "copy mode"
I created a comparison last year:

Re: NAS backup and object storage
Excellent! Thanks for the comparison. Do you happen to have similar comparisons for other backup types?
We are currently migrating as much as possible to object storage, and crawling the documentation does immediately reveal this level of detail.
I do not want to derail this thread, so don’t know if this is the appropriate channel.
Let me know
