Are my backups going to S3 twice?

Post by mikeely »

Veeam 12, offloading to immutable Backblaze. When I look in History/Storage Management, I see SOBR Offload jobs for each backup job that goes to a given backup repository, and then I see a separate offload job for the SOBR itself. Both jobs appear to be moving data, so am I backing everything up to B2 twice?

What initially drew my attention to this area is that the SOBR-specific offloads frequently warn with "Object storage cleanup failed: Timed out waiting for the backup files to be released, cancelling the job." I see subsequent SOBR-specific jobs clean up the storage so I've been considering them to be benign warnings, but I've been encouraged to either root them out or make them stop sending emails.
