Step 3. Select Network Storage Type

The Network Storage step of the wizard is available if you have chosen to restore data from a backup file that resides in a remote location — in object storage, in a network shared folder, in a backup repository or in a cloud repository.

Select where the backup file is located:

  • Object storage — select this option if the backup file resides in object storage. With this option selected, you will pass to the Object Storage step of the wizard.

NOTE

Select this option only if the backup was saved to object storage directly. If the object storage is added as a Veeam backup repository or Veeam Cloud Connect repository, select the corresponding option instead.

To learn more about available object storage configurations, see Backup to Object Storage.

  • Shared folder — select this option if the backup file resides in a network shared folder. With this option selected, you will pass to the Shared Folder step of the wizard.
  • Veeam backup repository — select this option if the backup file resides in a backup repository managed by a Veeam backup server. With this option selected, you will pass to the Backup Server step of the wizard.
  • Veeam Cloud Connect repository — select this option if the backup file resides in a cloud repository exposed to you by a Veeam Cloud Connect service provider. With this option selected, you will pass to the Service Provider step of the wizard.
