It is not recommended to use deduplicating storage appliances as cloud repositories. Such cloud repositories are displayed in the tenant Veeam Backup & Replication console in the read-only mode.ĭeduplicating Storage Appliances Used as Cloud Repositories Tenants cannot use the Files view in the Veeam Backup & Replication console to copy backup files to and from a scale-out backup repository exposed as a cloud repository.The SP cannot expose a scale-out backup repository as a cloud repository if unlimited number of concurrent tasks is specified for at least one extent added to this scale-out backup repository.Scale-Out Backup Repositories Used as Cloud Repositories Scheduled file copy jobs are not supported.

Tenants can manually copy backup files to and from the cloud repository using the Files view in the Veeam Backup & Replication console. Veeam Cloud Connect does not support NAS backup. The tenant should be aware of the fact that because of immutability, their backups may remain in the cloud repository for the longer period than specified in the job settings. Veeam Backup & Replication does not delete tenant backups within a job session or by the background retention job until both the retention period and immutability period end for these backups. In the scenario where the SP uses backup repositories that support immutability as cloud repositories, tenant backups become immutable for the number of days specified in the backup repository settings.The Copy backup and Move backup operations to, from and between cloud repositories are not supported.To refresh the list of restore points, disable the job that created the restore points and rescan the SP in the tenant Veeam backup console. Removed GFS restore points could remain displayed in the Veeam Backup & Replication UI on the tenant side.For more information, see the Instant Recovery section in the Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV User Guide. If Nutanix AHV Plug-in is installed and a Nutanix AHV cluster is added in Veeam Backup & Replication, the tenant can perform instant recovery to Nutanix AHV form backups that reside in the cloud repository. To learn more, see Instant Recovery from Tenant Backups. Instant Recovery from VM backups and Veeam Agent backups is supported on the SP side. Instant VM Recovery, multi-OS file-level restore, restore to Microsoft Azure and Amazon EC2 from backups in the cloud repository are not supported on the tenant side.Note that cloud repositories backed by object storage systems are not supported by transaction log backup copy jobs. You can back up transaction logs only with backup copy jobs in the immediate copy mode. Transaction log backup is not supported for backup jobs targeted at the cloud repository.The backup copy job must use a backup repository configured locally on the tenant side as a source one. Veeam Backup & Replication does not support backup copy jobs if the cloud repository is used as a source backup repository.Veeam Backup & Replication has the following limitations for Veeam Cloud Connect Backup.
