Backup Azure File Shares

Post by scottf99 »

Hi.
Is it possible using any Veeam product to backup an Azure File Share direct to Azure blob storage?

I use B&R V11a and I know I can backup the Azure File Share using NFS or SMB but I don't want to bring it to my onprem backup storage and then tier it back out again.
Maybe I need to wait for "backup direct to cloud storage"? Is this planned?

Cheers
Scott

Hello,
"backup direct to cloud storage"? Is this planned?
yes, we plan to make object storage a "first class citizen" in V12.

While waiting for direct backup to object storage, I would spin up a VM as repository / file proxy in Azure (or add more disks to your server that runs in Azure). Tiering to object storage is not really an option today.

Best regards,
Hannes
