Google Cloud Object Storage Considerations and Limitations

Consider the following limitations:

  • Currently, Veeam Backup & Replication does not support the Object Versioning and Bucket Lock features for Google Cloud object storage.

Important

Enabling either any or both of these features on the bucket may result in unpredictable system behavior and data loss, as well as in extra costs for storing objects that have been removed by the retention policy. For more information, see Object Versioning and Bucket Lock.

  • Backups stored in Google Cloud object storage must be modified neither manually nor by third-party tools, including native Google Cloud capabilities (for example, the Autoclass feature). Otherwise, Veeam Backup & Replication may fail to restore the backed-up data.
