Offloading to object storage - what data is actually held in cloud?

[cstps]

Hi team,

Apologies if something obvious is being missed here; I've read though all the documentation but don't seem to be able to find an answer to my question.

When I specify an object storage repo for VBO365 and offload my local repo to this, what actually happens? I can find no settings anywhere other than simply enabling offloading.

When this is enabled - what data winds up in S3? Are backups aged out, or mirrored, or something else?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Chris,

To make it simple, all data winds up in the object storage. We do keep a local cache on the proxy, but that is just a subset of some metadata to allow faster loading of the Veeam explorers and such. If you use an object storage repository in VBO, all your protected data is there.

Thanks heaps Mike, much appreciated!
