Connecting to AWS external repository

[BassTeQ]

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect an external repository, however when I try and select the "folder" to save my backups to I can't see it listed?
The folder exists, and visible from the AWS console.



Appreciate any help.

External repository only works with N2Ws Backup & Recovery as explained in our user guide. Could you explain what your goal is? If you want to tier backups to S3, you can do this via Capacity Tier.

I just want to keep a copy of a backup on AWS.

[nielsengelen]

Then you can leverage capacity tier to achieve this.

How would I go about doing that?

[nielsengelen]

I put the link to the user guide in my previous post. To configure it, you'll have to add a scale-out backup repository and add the object storage to it via the wizard.

Thank you!

I don't have an option to add a scale out repository?

This option is not available in the Standard Edition, so that could be the only reason why you are not seeing it. Otherwise, feel free to contact support for assistance. Thanks!

Ahh bugger, I'm using the community version

I'm already backing up to another local location which is managed by veeam, if I just sync that folder to AWS that shouldn't cause any issues?
I'd be able to use those backup files for a restore in case of the local versions weren't available?

Cheers

How exactly are you planning to sync local folder to object storage? Thanks!

Using tntdrive or similar to mount the s3 bucket to the local pc.
