Object Storage not Showing up as an Option

[ziadtmustafa]

[img]Hello everyone,

I have followed the KB articles but I cannot seem to find the object storage that I added in Veeam when I actually create a backup job to run. So Wasabi doesn’t show up in the drop-down menu as an option for my backup. Only local storage is showing up.

Anybody run into this and/or have ideas for me to resolve?? I am not sure if Veeam will allow me to insert/attach an image

Thank you in advance!!!

Hello Ziad

Did you add immutable object storage? It cannot be used by a primary job. Therefore it won‘t be displayed for such jobs. Immutable object storage is supported for backup copy jobs.

You can upload a picture to https://imgbb.com/ and then add the picture to the post.

Hi Fabian,

Can you explain how to do that? Or if you have a KB article you can reference? Don’t know how to do it.

Hello Ziad

Can you please let me know, did you have a Wasabi bucket with immutability?

You can follow those steps.

Non-immutable repository for backup and backup copy jobs:
1) Create a bucket without versioning and object locking on https://console.wasabisys.com/
2) Add a Wasabi Bucket as object storage: Adding Object Storage
3) Create a repository and extend it with your wasabi bucket: Adding Backup Repositories
4) Create a backup or backup copy job and point the job to the repository created in the previous step: Creating Backup Job or Creating Backup Copy Job

I asked in my first answer if you have an immutable repository. You have one. You cannot use immutable object storage for primary backup jobs. A primary backup job requires a repository without immutability.


Please follow the guide I have provided in my second comment. Add a repository without immutability.

1) Create a bucket without versioning and object locking on https://console.wasabisys.com/
2) Add the Bucket as object storage: Adding Object Storage

4) Create a backup or backup copy job and point the job to the repository created in the previous step: Creating Backup Job or Creating Backup Copy Job

Hello Fabian,

So that is working now. Thanks. However, when I run the backup I get a lot of errors. Can I post here or start a new thread?

Hello Ziad

You're welcome.
Thanks for the other topic. But please open a support case before posting technical issues to the forum.
You can follow this kb article and then choose free products in step 5 with the drop down "I need support for":
https://www.veeam.com/kb1771

Topics about technical issues without a case number will be deleted. This is not a support forum, as explained in our forum rules in red letters when you create a new topic:
