Step 6. Specify Object Storage Settings

At this step of the wizard, select a location of your Amazon bucket, a bucket and folder where you want to save your data.

  1. From the Data center location drop-down list, select a region that contains available buckets.
  2. From the Bucket drop-down list, select a bucket.

Make sure that the bucket you want to use to store your data was created in advance; Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 does not support creating new buckets.

  1. In the Folder field, select a cloud folder to which you want to map your object storage, and which will be used to store offloaded data.

To select a folder, click Browse and either select an existing folder or create a new one by clicking New Folder.

For more information on how data is stored, see Object Storage Structure.

  1. Select the Make backup copies immutable for the entire duration of their retention policy check box to enable protection of backup copies against accidental data deletions, malware activity and modifications that may be performed by 3rd party applications. For more information about immutability, see Immutability.

Note

If you do not want to use immutability, make sure that Versioning is not enabled for the Amazon S3 bucket in which you want to save your data.

  1. Click Advanced if you want to configure storage consumption limitations and select Amazon S3 storage classes. For more information, see Configuring Advanced Settings.

Configuring Advanced Settings

In the Advanced Settings window, do the following:

  1. Select the Limit object storage consumption to check box and specify the limit value in GB, TB or PB.

If you select this check box, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 limits object storage capacity and prohibits running new jobs when the specified value is exceeded.

  1. If you have selected the Amazon S3 option on the Select Amazon Storage Type step, select the Use Infrequent Access storage class check box if you plan to access your backup data in an infrequent manner and to mark each block as Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access. For more information about infrequent access, see this Amazon article.
