To complete my setup, once I deployed all my virtual machines in the previous articles, I also need a S3 bucket to be later used in Veeam as an object storage. And obviously, I can also automated this part with Terraform.

A first look at the new Veeam SOSAPI
Veeam Backup & Replication v12 is all about Object storage. Not just because it can write data directly to it, but also because – thanks to the introduction of a new set of API called SOSAPI- Veeam and the storage that supports these new API can better work together.

Create a S3 Bucket with Object Lock in Scality Artesca for Veeam
Veeam Backup & Replication v12 is capable of writing backups directly to a Object storage. In my lab I use Scality Artesca as my S3-compatible object storage, so I created some new buckets to be used with Veeam. Let’s see how this can be done. The procedure can be useful also for people using different products.

Configure Veeam N2WS copies to S3 and export them via backup copies
In my previous post, I talked about Veeam N2WS Backup and Recovery (known previously as CPM) and how to configure it to protect different AWS accounts. Now that the configuration is ready, it’s time to protect the virtual machines, and to export them into S3 so that we can have an offsite copy using Veeam Backup & Replication.

This time, I decided that everything has to be protected in a way that it would be really easy to perform e restore of every component of the lab.

Cloud outages and the couch architects all over the world
Last week, another outage of a large cloud provider hit the news, and the many companies using their services were impacted. This time it was Amazon Web Services, as their S3 service in the US-East region has been down for almost 4 hours, impacting so many other cloud services that are relying on this object storage technology. What impacted me, however, had been the reactions of other IT people around and the couch architects all over the world.
The Biggest Object Storage? Still Amazon S3, by far…
S3 has been the first service Amazon Web Services division released in 2006, and is still the most used public storage service around. Many of you probably do not even know you are using it. Are you on Dropbox? Well, it runs on S3. Recently Amazon released a 2011 recap of…
