Gateway Selection for Backup vs Backup Copy Jobs

Post by andre.simard »

Hi,
I’m trying to use two very specific gateway servers for the same object storage repository, depending on the job type:

Backup job: Must use a ROBO gateway, because data has to exit the site using a very limited bandwidth link.
Backup Copy job : Must use a Head Office gateway, where I have significantly better bandwidth.

Direct mode is not an option, because I need to guarantee that a very specific server is used to send data to the object repository.
At the moment, the object repository is configured with two gateways:

One gateway located at the ROBO
One gateway located at Head Office

However, even for the backup copy job, Veeam is still selecting and using the ROBO gateway, which is exactly what I want to avoid.

Is there any supported way to:

Force the backup job to always use the ROBO gateway, and
Force the backup copy job to always use the HO gateway,
while using object storage and without direct mode?

Any ideas or design recommendations are welcome.

Thanks!
