Overview of this book

Veeam is one of the leading modern data protection solutions, making it a necessary skill for anyone responsible for securing virtual environments. This revised second edition of Mastering Veeam Backup & Replication is updated to cover Veeam version 11. The book guides you through implementing modern data protection solutions for your cloud and virtual infrastructure with Veeam, all while helping you master advanced concepts such as Continuous Data Protection (CDP), extended object storage support, Veeam ONE enhancements, and Orchestrator. Starting with Veeam essentials, including installation, best practices, and optimizations for Veeam Backup & Replication, you'll get to grips with the 3-2-1-1-0 rule to safeguard data. You'll understand how to set up a backup server, proxies, repositories, and more and then advance to cover a powerful feature of Veeam 11 – CDP. As you progress, you'll learn about immutability (also known as hardened repositories) and discover the best practices for creating them. Finally, you'll explore the new proxy option available in Linux and become well-versed with advanced topics such as extended object storage support, Veeam ONE enhancements, and Orchestrator. By the end of this Veeam book, you'll be able to implement Veeam Backup & Replication for securing your environment and enabling disaster recovery.

Chapter 6: Expanded Object Storage Support – Capacity and Archive Tiers

Object storage is one of the many options for backup storage and repositories, including a few new additions for archiving data. This chapter will look at what object storage vendors are newly supported in Veeam Backup & Replication v11a. We will discuss how to set up capacity and archive storage within the environment. You will learn to configure a Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR) with the newly configured capacity and archive tiers. We will look at how immutability with Amazon S3 Glacier works, including policy-based offloading. Finally, we will look at cost-optimized archiving and storage using the new archive tier.

By the end of this chapter, you will understand what object storage vendors for capacity and archive tiers you can now use. You will also understand how this fits into your environment and use cases. Finally, you will have a better understanding of settings and configuration.
