The following configuration steps outline the process to deploy Veeam Backup and Replication with DataCore Swarm as the Capacity Tier in a Scale-out Backup Repository (SOBR).
Veeam Backup and Replication v11+ with support for S3 compatible object storage.
DataCore Swarm v14+
Erasure Encoding enabled to support multi-part upload, 4:2 recommended.
Setup to support SSL, Veeam requires SSL transfer to object storage.
Swarm Content Portal supporting Gateway 7.8 for enabling object locking.
From a high level, use the following steps to configure the environment:
Create a token that provides the credentials used in API calls from Veeam when communicating with Swarm.
Create a bucket with Erasure Coding and Content Versioning enabled.
Enable object locking on the bucket using the Swarm Content Portal.
Add a backup repository for immutable backups using the Swarm bucket created above.
Add a Scale-out Backup Repository using the Swarm bucket as the Capacity Tier.
