This bucket will now appear with an S3 endpoint, which we will need for use in Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365.īefore you can use the new bucket, you’ll need to create some application keys/credentials.

In the Backblaze B2 console, you need to create a bucket.

A Backblaze B2 account: You can create one here for free.So naturally, with the recent announcement from Backblaze saying they now have S3 Compatible API support, I wanted to try it out with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365. Did I mention you no longer need to juggle data moves between repositories?! These enhancements create a number of opportunities to simplify your workflows. With the data scalability sorted, you only need to worry about monitoring and scaling out the compute workload of the proxy servers (worker nodes). These platforms are designed to handle petabytes of data with very good durability, and object storage is better suited to that task. So, why object storage over block-based repositories? There are a number of reasons but scalability is, I believe, the biggest. The flagship Veeam Backup & Replication product now supports a growing number of object enabled capabilities.ĪWS Security Profile – Cryptography Edition: Panos Kampanakis, Principal Security Engineer This is a common trend for new Veeam product releases.
