Step 5. Select Amazon Storage Type and Account

At this step of the wizard, select a type of Amazon storage, specify an Amazon account and select a datacenter region.

Select one of the following options:

Amazon S3. Select this option if you want to add Amazon S3 Standard, Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access and Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access storage classes. You can use these storage classes as a target for both backup and backup copy jobs.
Amazon S3 Glacier. Select this option if you want to use this object storage repository only to store backup copies and select it as a target for backup copy jobs. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 supports Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval and Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive storage classes for this purpose.
