Back up to a SOBR but not offload?

Post by jcofin13 »

Here is an odd one.

A SOBR with Object Storage.
Is it possible to run a job to a SOBR that has local and object storage which offloads the backups to object storage....but exclude certain vms in that job from offloading so they stay local? Example...the job has 15 vms and we want 10 of those vms to offload and be kept offsite but 5 we want local only.

or....

Is it possible to run a job to that same sobr and tell it to keep everything in the job local and do not offload those vms?

Trying to save on object storage costs/space where possible.

Id think no since the offload settings are not set on the job but on the sobr itself but thought i would ask considering per vm backups truly may have a setting that i am not aware of that allows you to offload some or all if you choose.

You could do a couple things:

1) Onsite jobs with direct to object storage backup copy jobs. That way you only push the VMs you want to push to S3.
2) Different SOBR without any offloading to S3.
