Retrieving Tenant Data from Archive Tier

The SP can use the archive tier functionality to extend a scale-out backup repository used as a cloud repository with an additional tier of storage. This can be useful for backup of rarely accessed tenant data: compared to the capacity tier, it is cheaper to store archived data in the archive tier, but more expensive to restore it from the archive tier. For more information on the archive tier functionality, see the Archive Tier section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

Archived data must be prepared for restore from the archive tier. To do this, the SP must retrieve the archived data. In contrast to the regular backup scenario where you can retrieve archived data using the Veeam backup console, in the Veeam Cloud Connect Backup scenario, this operation is available with Microsoft PowerShell cmdlets only. To learn more, see the Publish-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint section in the Veeam PowerShell Reference.
