External Repository
An external repository is a read-only repository. You can use Veeam Backup & Replication to copy, import and/or restore backups created by Veeam Backup for AWS, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure and Veeam Backup for Google Cloud from external to on-premises repositories. This way, you can perform data migration between cloud, on-premises and virtual infrastructures.
Veeam Backup & Replication supports the following types of external repositories:
- Amazon S3 (with Standard storage class assigned)
- Azure Blob (Hot and Cool access tier)
- Google Cloud (with Standard storage class assigned)
To start working with backups created by Veeam Backup for AWS, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure and Veeam Backup for Google Cloud, you must add a repository that contains backups of Amazon EC2 instances, Azure VMs or Google Cloud VMs to the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure as an external repository. After that, you can perform the following operations:
- Copy backups to on-premises repositories
- Restore EC2 instances, Azure VMs and Google Cloud VMs to AWS
- Restore Azure VMs, EC2 instances and Google Cloud VMs to Microsoft Azure
- Restore Google Cloud VMs, EC2 instances and Azure VMs to Google Cloud
- Restore guest OS files and folders
- Export disks of EC2 instances, Azure VMs and Google Cloud VMs
- Govern retention policies
- Perform Instant Recovery to VMware vSphere
- Perform Instant Recovery to Microsoft Hyper-V
