VBR with governance mode, but one file in compliance mode

Post by AlexandreD »

Hello,

I'm currently implementing a S3-compatible solution in our datacenter.

In my lab environnement, i have a VBR in v12.0, I created some bucket with WORM and versionning, and set immutability in the veeam repository.
For the first backup job i tried, files are in compliance mode. I'm ok with this because in v12 we cannot use the governance mode (Maybe veeam helpcenter should mention it, i didn't see this information anywhere).

So after I read this post :
https://community.veeam.com/blogs-and-p ... art-7-6757

I upgraded my vbr from v12 to v12.1, created the registry key, create a new bucket, send backup files on it. Surprise I cannot delete this bucket, because S3 storage said there is files in compliance mode.
Indeed, with a S3 browser, I found the following folder Veeam/Backup/backup/Config/Repository in COMPLIANCE mode. Other files are in GOUVERNANCE mode.

I try to create a new bucket, with same parameters. And i launch a new backup job, et all files are in GOUVERNANCE mode. I don't know why in my previous test, I get one folder in COMPLIANCE mode.

I cannot delete entirely one bucket, for this reasons.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
I'm worried that I'll have this problem in production, and that I won't be able to delete a client bucket for example.

Alexandre, I don't know why your 1st Governance mode bucket had some objects using Compliance mode. You should contact Veeam Support to have them analyze the VBR logs to identify why you saw this result. Your second test behaved as expected.

Before you enable Governance mode in production, as I noted in the blog our "recommendation and best practice is to create a new VBR server that will use Governance mode".

Thanks for reaching out.
