Backup to Object Storage

If you want to store your data in a cloud-based or on-premises object storage, you can use Veeam Plug-In to create backups in repositories provided by the object storage. Veeam Plug-Ins support the object storage as a primary repository for backup jobs and Veeam Backup & Replication supports the object storage as a primary repository for backup copy jobs.

You can store backups created with Veeam Plug-Ins on the following types of the object storage:

  • Amazon S3
  • S3 compatible
  • Google Cloud Storage
  • Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
  • IBM Cloud Object Storage
  • Wasabi Cloud Storage
  • Veeam Data Cloud Vault
  • 11:11 Cloud Object Storage

 

Veeam Plug-In on the machine with the database always accesses object storage through Veeam Backup & Replication. As a result, Veeam Plug-In access to object storage is managed by a proxy component that Veeam Backup & Replication selects according to the connection mode specified in the repository settings:

IMPORTANT

  • After you switch your repository from one connection mode to another, Veeam Plug-In will need to connect to Veeam Backup & Replication to update repository settings. Until this connection is made, all backup operations by Veeam Plug-In will fail.

 

Getting Started

To back up MongoDB replica set data to an object storage, you must complete the following steps:

  1. Add repository in the Veeam backup console. For details, see Adding Object Storage Repositories.

You can use an object storage in Veeam Backup & Replication as one of the following repositories:

  1. [For S3 compatible object storage] Set access to the added S3 compatible object storage. For details, see Managing Permissions for S3 Compatible Object Storage.
  2. Create an application backup policy and select the object storage from the list of available repositories.

To learn more, see Creating Application Backup Policy.

Note

Before you configure your backup infrastructure to back up to the object storage, consider the limitations listed in Veeam Backup Repositories.
