Scale-Out Repository

[nmcclure]

In a Scale-out Repository, is it required that a Full Backup file remain on the Performance Tier? Is there anyway to place the Full Backup on the Capacity Tier and maintain only a set number of Incremental Backups on the Performance Tier?
We currently have a backup job for one virtual machine that is set to a 7 day retention policy. This backup job stores the backups to a Scale-out Repository. In a perfect scenario, we would like to keep the incremental backups on the Performance Tier as storage is limited here and the Full Backups are the largest part of the backup data. In this Scale-out Repository, the options to copy jobs as soon as they are created and move backups to object storage as they age out of the operational restore window enabled with the operational restore window set to 0. Is this the correct configuration to achieve the desired outcome if possible?

- Thanks!

Yes, the latest backup chain (full+incrementals) must be on the Performance Tier in its entirety. Only the previous backup chains can be offloaded to the Capacity Tier. Thanks!

Thanks for the info!

Good time of day.
I want to configure veeam B&R and 6 proxy server
how to organize Scale-Out Repository correctly?
if I'm wrong, correct me.

I add all repositories to veeam B&R and merge all repositories to SOBR on it,
Next, install the proxy.
That's where I can't get it right.
Should a proxy have a repository? how to connect it in SOBR?
is there an instruction on how to set this up in stages?
I can connect the repositories themselves as local vmfs repositories

[Gostev]

No, there's no need to associate/connect proxies and repositories anyhow.

[muhammad_007]

I don't quite understand, can you explain how to do it correctly? to be scalable?

For enterprise environments, there's no one-size-fits-all answer.

If you have a large environment to protect, which I assume you do since you're talking about 6 proxy servers, then you should contact your Veeam sales rep to schedule a live session with one of our pre-sales engineers, to review your infrastructure and suggest the most optimal way of deploying Veeam. We don't provide this service over forum posts.

You can also get some information from the Best Practices documentations maintained by our Solution Architects, but nevertheless I highly suggest you do a session with our pre-sales engineer regardless, especially if you don't have the Veeam Certified Architect certification.
