Cloud Repository Settings
|
Keep in mind that FQDN or IP addresses of Veeam Agent computers that you back up to the cloud repository will be visible to the Veeam Cloud Connect service provider. To learn more, see Before You Begin. |
At the Storage step of the wizard, specify settings for the cloud repository:
- From the Backup repository list, select a cloud repository where you want to store created backups. The Backup repository list displays cloud repositories allocated to your tenant account by the Veeam Cloud Connect service provider. When you select a cloud repository, Veeam Backup & Replication automatically checks how much free space is available in the repository.
- Specify short-term backup retention policy settings in one of the following ways:
- From the Retention policy list, select restore points and specify the number of restore points for which you want to store backup files in the target location. By default, Veeam Backup & Replication keeps backup files created for 7 latest restore points. After this number is exceeded, Veeam Backup & Replication will remove the earliest restore points from the backup chain.
- From the Retention policy list, select days and specify the number of days for which you want to store backup files in the target location. By default, Veeam Backup & Replication keeps backup files for 7 days except days when no backup files are created. After this period is over, Veeam Backup & Replication will remove the earliest restore points from the backup chain.
Keep in mind that if you have selected the Workstation type at the Job Mode step of the wizard, you can specify retention policy only in days.
To learn more, see Short-Term Retention Policy.
- To use the GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) retention scheme, select the Keep certain full backups longer for archival purposes check box and click Configure. In the Configure GFS window, specify how weekly, monthly and yearly full backups must be retained. To learn more, see the Long-Term Retention Policy (GFS) section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
- Click Advanced to specify advanced settings for the backup job. To learn more, see Specify Advanced Backup Settings.

You must enable backup file encryption in the backup job storage settings if you back up data to the Veeam Data Cloud Vault storage added as a Veeam Cloud Connect repository. |
