According to Veeam ONE, capacity tier is not considered as second copy

[AlexandreD]

Hello,

We are moving from independant backup copy to capacity tier, who is saving time for us, and avoid mistake.
Example, a customer create a backup job in VMware Cloud Director portal, target to a SOBR with capacity tier, with immuatbility enabled. Secondary copy is automatic configure without need to create manually a backup copy or to integrate the backup job into a existant backup copy.

When I generate a Veeam ONE backup compliance report with 2 copy defined. Report is generate with an error. Capacity tier is not considered as a second copy.
According to Veeam ONE, this is not a compliant secondary copy. I'm very surprised.

SOBR with capacity tier is a great feature to be compliant with all VMs send to the performance tier.
- Secondary and offsite copy
- Immutability who respect the period defined in the bucket repository (No immutable on GFS retention like the backup copy targeting a S3 bucket) / this is for this main reason that we are migrating from backup copy to SOBR + capacity tier.

Do you plan to change the report ? According to Veeam, what is your point of view ? The capacity tier is not considered as a compliant second copy?

Thank you

Alexandre

Hello, indeed it's not a secondary copy in case of the Move policy, however it *is* a secondary copy in case of the Copy policy.

Hello Gostev,
I'm agree with you in the Move policy case, but in my case, this is a Copy policy.
The report "VM Backup Compliance Overview" is showing an error, VM are not compliant (2 copies) in Copy policy mode.

Then it sounds like a bug.

Hello Alexandre,
Do you have any support case opened please? Please share the support case with us. From an initial view inside how the report works, I can see the SOBR COPY should be included as a secondary copy, but we can surely investigate better with logs, database dumps, and in case something is not right, we can provide a hotfix first thing to you instead of waiting for next releases wherever possible.

Please let us know.

Thank you!
