Best practices for backup local + aws

Post by webstyler »

Hello

Product: Veeam Essentials Enteprise Plus

Scenario:
- host VMware
- any VM under backup
- any PC/Workstation under backup

We would like to keep backup locally but add also a secondary site backup to AWS

What's best praticse to make a secondary backup to AWS S3 GLACIER ? and is this AWS best solution on AWS?

Example: best solutions is make backup to AWS? or backup copy? or other?

Thanks

You will need to have:

- AWS Storage Gateway configured in VTL mode
- Tape jobs (either backup or file to tape ones) pointed to it

Thanks!

Hello veremin

Thanks for reply

What's difference from your suggest method and copy to veeam repository based on AWS S3 Glacier?

Thanks

You cannot assign a repository role to AWS S3 Glacier. Aren't you confusing it with Capacity Tier functionality by any chance? Thanks!

Yes Veremin, I'm confusing :)

Now I check video and doc about this.

But VTL is only way for backup / copy VM and workstation to AWS?

Thanks for support

VTL is the only way we support Glacier at the moment.

To AWS Glacier - yes. However, you can leverage Capacity Tier to move old backups to Amazon S3. Thanks!

Thanks guys

SO

with VTL and Aws storage gateway it's possibile to make Tape Backup Job and work on S3 Glacier
with S3 it's possible to create repository

Thinks it's all right

with S3 as repository it's also possible to copy all backup, not only Old backup?
If yes how, with Copy Job?

Thanks for support and suggest
