Before You Begin

Before you add a scale-out backup repository to the backup infrastructure, check the following prerequisites:

Backup repositories that you plan to add as performance extents to the scale-out backup repository must be added to the backup infrastructure. For more information, see Adding Backup Repositories.
You must check limitations for scale-out backup repositories. For more information, see Limitations for Scale-Out Backup Repositories.

You can add only one capacity extent per scale-out backup repository.
An object storage repository cannot be added as part of two or more different scale-out backup repositories at the same time.
If the selected object storage contains offloaded backup data, you will be offered to synchronize this data with your performance extents.

For more information, see Synchronizing Capacity Tier Data.

Object storage that contains imported backups cannot be added as a capacity extent.

For more information, see Importing Object Storage Backups.
