Before You Begin

Before you add a scale-out backup repository to the backup infrastructure, check the following prerequisites:

• Backup repositories that you plan to add as performance extents to the scale-out backup repository must be added to the backup infrastructure. For more information, see Adding Backup Repositories.
• You must check limitations for scale-out backup repositories. For more information, see Limitations for Scale-Out Backup Repositories.

• An object storage repository cannot be added as part of two or more different scale-out backup repositories at the same time.
• If the selected object storage contains offloaded backup data, you will be offered to synchronize this data with your performance extents.

For more information, see Synchronizing Capacity Tier Data.

• Object storage that contains imported backups cannot be added as a capacity extent.

For more information, see Importing Object Storage Backups.

• You cannot add the same object storage repository as the performance extent and capacity extent.
• You cannot use object storage of different providers in the same type of tier.
• You cannot use the object storage repository and the backup repositories in performance tier simultaneously.
