Chapter 4: Scale-Out Repository and Object Storage – New Copy Policy

Veeam Backup & Replication has a backup storage technology called Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR), used as a backup target for jobs. You can also attach object storage to a scale-out repository to further extend your backups to achieve longer-term retention. In this chapter, we will walk through how the scale-out repository gets created and how to use it best. We will also look at adding object storage repositories for the Capacity Tier of a scale-out repository. You will learn how to set up a scale-out repository, configuring it for performance and attaching object storage for the capacity tier. We will dive into the new copy policy for the capacity tier and how this plays a role in your backups. By the end of this chapter, you will know how to configure a scale-out repository with a capacity tier and set up the new copy policy to move backups out of the performance extents to object storage.
