Quick question about capacity tier setup

Post by Sam Hates LTO »

Hey

Just looking for the best practice advice really. When setting up a capacity tier offload should each offload use its own bucket? I know if you are using the same console I know you need separate buckets per scaleout. But if you have two consoles can you just use the same bucket pointing to different folders within the bucket?

Cheers

You cannot have separate buckets per SOBR.
1x SOBR —> 1x Bucket

A Bucket should only be used by one single Backup Server. Do not use the same bucket for multiple backup server.

- Data in object storage bucket/container must be managed solely by Veeam Backup & Replication, including retention and data management. Enabling lifecycle rules is not supported, and may result in backup and restore failures.

- Use one bucket per scale-out backup repository to reduce metadata. Creating folders for multiple scale-out backup repositories within a bucket slows down processing, as metadata operations within the object storage are handled per bucket.

My recommendation:
Create a dedicated Bucket for each SOBR.
