Max number of Repositories

[maeckmaeck]

Hi

We as a MSP have a lot of Jobs working on our Server. We're facing significant problems with Jet-Databases and want to migrate to Object-Storage, which should not a big deal with the KB3067.
At the moment, we have 3 proxies for Veeam for M365 because of the huge amount of RAM usage and the fact that we only able to add 75 local repositories per proxy. (We separate the data for each customer and have around +130 repositories)
Is this 75 repository limit still for Object Storage repositories present?

We plan to decomiss two proxies after the migration to Object Storage. Unfortunately, no such limit is documentet in the Limitations page of the Help-page.

Thank you and best regards
Markus

Hi Markus,

Hi Markus,

The Jet engine itself and each of your databases consume RAM, and hence we provide the recommendations that Marco shared above. Note that these recommendations apply to databases, and each of your repositories has multiple DBs by the number of backed-up years of data. In the product, there's a hard limit of 750 repositories per proxy.
For example, if you currently have 75 Jet-based repositories per proxy and each of those contains 10 years of data, you're already at the recommended max limit of databases per proxy.

An object storage repository requires just one Jet database for storing metadata, so technically you can configure up to 750 object storage repositories per proxy.

Makes sense?

Hi

Ok, sounds great, thank you.


But worth mentioning is that all of our backup jobs are configured for a retention of one year, but snapshot based. I saw a lot of times that veeam saves the files with the snapshot based option in years of the creation time of the items (mails), so with one year of retention, we often have way more than one jet database per customer / per repository because they have e-mails back to 2010 or earlier.

Correct, that's explained here: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo36 ... tml?ver=70
