Azure to AWS

[lukejf]

Hi Team
We have come across a customer that would like to protect their azure iiass and SQL Paas workloads outside of azure ( Not CSP) in their own managed environment. I have been looking in the the native Azure backup but can't see anywhere that it supports external repositories. Just wondering if any of you have come across such a request and how you have approached this.
I have seen on here that someone has done this using Veeam Azure native backups and then reads this into a B+R server and outputs it to SOBR in AWS.

The goal of this project is:

Backups outside Azure
Immutable storage
Restoration to either back to Azure or AWS

Thanks team

The suggestion should work as u state.

1. Use Veeam Backup for Azure to make backups in n Azure.
2. Use the integration with VBR and SOBR to store the data in AWS.

As Niels' said, you can use Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure to protect your IaaS workloads. You can take those backups on-prem, using backup copy jobs (you will need a Veeam Backup & Replication for it). Those backup copy jobs can be pointed to Linux immutable repository or Scale-Out Backup Repository with immutable Capacity Tier enabled. Thanks!

Thanks as always guys!

Hey Guys, is there an option to backup from IAAS direct to a VBR server in azure rather than blob storage to stop the double processing of data?

[Gostev]

What do you mean by "backup direct to a VBR server"? Target must be a backup repository, not a backup server (this one is responsible for job management, not for storing backups).

[lukejf]

Rather than the iaas backup job going direct to blob storage as per the azure native backup documentation, can it go direct to VBR server backup repo with scale out enabled?

Hi Luke, that's not possible if you're using Veeam Backup for Azure (native tool).

[Gostev]

Actually, I do know at least a couple of very large customers doing exactly that... they use agent-based backup to protect Azure VMs (thousands) to a regular Veeam backup repository.

Thanks everyone!
