You can configure one or several backup repositories in your backup infrastructure and use them as cloud repositories.
A cloud repository is a regular backup repository configured on the SP side. When the SP creates a tenant account, the SP can assign a storage quota (allocates some amount of storage space) on this backup repository for the tenant. The tenant can be assigned different quotas on different backup repositories. As soon as the tenant connects to the SP, Veeam Backup & Replication retrieves information about all quotas for this tenant and displays a list of available cloud repositories in tenant's backup infrastructure.
You can use the following types of backup repositories as cloud repositories:
- Microsoft Windows server with a local or directly attached storage
- Linux server with local, directly attached or mounted NFS storage
- Shared CIFS (SMB) folder
- Deduplicating storage appliance: EMC Data Domain and ExaGrid
You cannot use scale-out backup repositories as cloud repositories.
The configuration process of backup repositories in the Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure is the same as the configuration process in a regular Veeam backup infrastructure. To learn more, see the Configuring Backup Repositories section in Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide at: https://www.veeam.com/documentation-guides-datasheets.html.

Cloud repository does not support creating tenant backups in per-VM backup files. If the SP assigns to a tenant a storage quota on a backup repository with Use per-VM backup files option enabled, tenant backups on the cloud repository will be still stored in regular backup files. |
