Migrating backups to new storage

[northcloud-morgan]

We currently have backups on an HP StoreOnce deduplicating appliance. We have purchased a replacement (Another StoreOnce). I need to move the current backup chains from the old StoreOnce to the new one. Since these appliances can't be accessed via CIFS/SMB etc, it seems that the best way to move the data is using a Veeam copy job to replicate the data, then move the destination on the backup job to the new device. Is there a better way to achieve this.

Hello,
and welcome to the forums. I would to with the file copy job because you can do the migration "per job".

As an alternative you could also migrate to a scale out repository and use "evacuate". But if you do that, the old StoreOnce will be not available until the migration finished. If you only keep a few weeks, then I would not even migrate. Just start a new backup chain on the box.

Best regards,
Hannes

File Copy will not help in the case of Catalyst. It's either SOBR evacuate or HPE internal tool.

correct, forget my answer about the file copy job... I forgot that there is a limitation for StoreOnce systemes mentioned here https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... l?ver=95u4
