With V10 release a feature we are super excited about is Copy Mode / Second Copy in our ScaleOut Repos.
We have a Veeam v10 CP2 deployed with VMWare vCloud Director
One observation we found is that the second copy does not appear to be available for users of the Self Service Portal.
Is this a feature that we can expect in the future?
One reason I mention it is we are charging the vCD customers for backups and while we charge the customer for Cloud Object storage usage via the ScaleOut and/or Second Copy but the backups do not appear visible as restore points. We do see them in the Veeam Admin Console.
Thanks in advance.
They should not be visible in the portal, as unlike the backup console, portal does not provide such infrastructure-centric views in principle. In fact, it purposely hides backup infrastructure details from users for security purposes. Only backup infrastructure admin can see this stuff.
However, if the first copy is unavailable (for example, when the required Performance Tier extent is down, or backup file is deleted), and portal user performs the restore, then it will be served from the second copy transparently. Please try this, and let us know if you have any issues.
