How to use Backblaze B2 with VBR Community Edition?

Post by Gustav »

I have successfully created and attached a Backblaze B2 bucket:

But what can I use it for having the Community Edition installed?
Scale-out Backup Repository is not accessible with the Community Edition, and if I create a backup job for a file share, the archive option is greyed out:

So, what options do I have?

Hello Gustav,

In NAS backup job this functionality requires subscription license. Community edition supports only backup to a primary repository but not archive. Cheers!

Hi Gustav,

With community edition you have an option to import backups from object storage repositories and perform all kinds of restores.
To work with cloud tier in terms of SOBR, the minimum of Veeam Essentials license is required.

Thanks,
Oleg

OK, so I can import/restore a backup from an S3 repository.
But what method would I use to copy or export a backup to this repository, please?

You cannot make use of object storage repository as a target in the Community Edition. Only paid editions support this functionality. Thanks!
