For example: https://2001-db8-1--bb8-c0b8-112.ipv6-literal.net:9000
- VPС_endpoint_ID is the unique VPC endpoint ID that Veeam Agent will use to access the cloud storage.
- region is the AWS Region where the VPC endpoint and the S3 bucket are located.
For example: bucket.vpce-0abc123def456ghi7-01234567.s3.ap-northeast-1.vpce.amazonaws.com

You can also create a new folder in the bucket. To do this:
|
- In the Retention policy section, specify the number of restore points that you want to store in the target location. By default, Veeam Agent keeps 7 latest restore points. After this number is exceeded, Veeam Agent will remove the earliest restore points from the backup chain. To learn more, see Backup Retention Policy.
- To specify the GFS retention policy, select the Keep certain full backups longer for archival purposes check box and press Configure. In the Configure GFS window, specify how weekly, monthly and yearly full backups must be retained. For details, see Specify GFS Retention Policy.
- Click Advanced to specify additional backup job settings. For details, see Specify Advanced Backup Settings.
- To prohibit modification and deletion of blocks of data in the object storage repository, select the Make recent backups immutable for check box and specify the immutability period in days. For more information, see Backup Immutability.
- After you specified the bucket settings, click Next. Veeam Agent will create a new backup repository for the configured cloud storage.
