Split adb / local object storage

Post by michaelsage »

Hi,
I'm running Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 (v7) at home to backup my personal O365 stuff.

I use a local repo (I tried b2 and wasabi for object storage, however, I had timeout issues and neither worked well, I suspect this was a bandwidth issue). So my question is, is there a way to limit the size of the adb file to say 5-10Gb so it splits or is there an option to use object storage locally? The reason for this is once a week I want to sync my backups to my b2 account, however, my adb files are as big as 130Gb and having them sync every time means the backup takes 2 days to complete :(

Thanks

Michael

Hello Michael

Welcome to the forum.

There is a way through an unsupported configuration change in the config XML file. To get access to the configuration parameter, please reach out to our customer support team. But I assume you are using our free version for your personal O365 stuff at home. Without a active license contract, chances are rather small that you will get an answer to your request. Support response is on best effort for users of our free product offerings.
or is there an option to use object storage locally?
If you have spare hardware, or a NAS device such as Synology or similar, you could deploy MinIO on it. MinIO is a supported object storage server which can be used with our product. I don't expect the best performance for large M365 tenants, but it should work for your scenario. You can then use a backup copy job to copy the backups from MinIO to Backblaze B2.

Best,

Thanks for the prompt reply, MinIO looks like it might be the best way!
