What is this Object Storage that appeared after updating to v10

[Ninja]

Can someone explain what this Object Storage is?

I assume we are able to backup to internal storage and then straight to cloud?

[Gostev]

Yes. Did you read the What's New in v10 document? It explains this quite well (see page 2).

@Ninja Veeam adopted support for object storage repositories in January 2018 when we released v9.5 update 4.

Object storage, also known as object-based storage, is a strategy that manages and manipulates data storage as distinct units, called objects. These objects are kept in a single storehouse and are not ingrained in files inside other folders. Instead, object storage combines the pieces of data that make up a file, adds all its relevant metadata to that file, and attaches a custom identifier.

Object storage adds comprehensive metadata to the file, eliminating the tiered file structure used in file storage, and places everything into a flat address space, called a storage pool. This metadata is key to the success of object storage in that it provides deep analysis of the use and function of data in the storage pool.
