Currently, I need to increase backup security but have a limited budget. Can I set up a Veeam Server and back up to a NAS that is S3-compatible, so that I can enable immutability for the data files and also copy the backup off-site to another location where I have a similar NAS?
Hypervisor MS Hyper-V 2016
NAS : TS‑h987XU‑RP QTS 5.0
Would you like me to also suggest alternative backup security strategies besides using Veeam with S3-compatible NAS and Object Lock? (Cost Optimize)

Re: Veeam Backup to NAS (Protocol S3 Compatible)
Hello,
Welcome to the forum.
Yes, it works technically. This NAS model is listed on our Veeam Ready list, meaning it was tested with our products for compatibility and minimum expected performance. Please review the notes on the Veeam Ready page.
Use only Flash/SSD disks, and perform copies using a Veeam Backup Copy Job, not native NAS tools.
Given the cost of the TS‑h987XU‑RP with SSDs, you may want to compare it with online services such as Wasabi or Veeam Data Cloud Vault.
Alternatively, consider a hardware server with local disks as a Hardened Repository. It also provides immutability and likely better backup and restore performance. You can easily deploy a prehardened operating system (Rocky Linux) with an ISO provided by Veeam.
In my opinion, the best setup is a Hardened Repository in your primary datacenter for backup jobs and Object Storage in your secondary datacenter (or cloud) for backup copy jobs.
Best regards,
Fabian

Re: Veeam Backup to NAS (Protocol S3 Compatible)
If i want to avoid managing any on-premises hardware and prefer a fully cloud-based solution. Is it possible for Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) to back up directly to Veeam Cloud Vault without using a local repository first? If not, what are the recommended options for achieving immutability and ransomware protection in a 100% cloud setup?

Yes. It's possible to directly backup to Veeam Cloud Vault.
With Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam Backup for Azure and Kasten.
Backups on Veeam Cloud Vault are always immutable and encrypted.
Best,
Fabian
