Storage Settings
To specify compression, deduplication and encryption settings for backup files stored in the target backup repository, do the following:
- At the Target step of the wizard, click Advanced.
- Click the Storage tab.
- In the Data reduction section, specify data compression and deduplication settings:
- By default, Veeam Backup & Replication performs deduplication before storing copied data in the target backup repository. To disable data deduplication, clear the Enable inline data deduplication check box.
For more information on deduplication, see Deduplication.
- From the Compression level list, select a compression level.
For more information on data compression levels, see Data Compression.
- To encrypt backup files, select the Enable backup file encryption check box. In the Password field, select the encryption method you want to use — a password that will generate secret keys or an external KMS server that will generate KMS keys. For more information about backup copy job encryption, see Encrypting Backup Copy Jobs.
If you have not created the password beforehand, click Add or use the Manage passwords link to specify a new password. For more information, see Password Manager.
If you do not use password loss protection, Veeam Backup & Replication will display a warning about it. For more information, see Password Loss Protection.
If you want to save this set of settings as the default one, click Save as default. When you create a new job, the saved settings will be offered as the default. This also applies to all users added to the backup server.
