Scale-out backup repository (2) – Repository system with horizontal scaling support for multi-tier storage of data. Veeam gateway server (not shown in the diagram) – An optional on-premises gateway server that is required if the Veeam backup server doesn’t have outbound connectivity to Amazon S3.

Veeam Backup & Replication (1) – The backup server that is responsible for coordinating, controlling, and managing backup infrastructure, settings, jobs, recovery tasks, and other processes. For information about that topic, see Veeam Backup & Replication using AWS VTL Gateway - Deployment Guide on the Veeam website. This pattern doesn’t cover how to set up Veeam Backup & Replication with a tape gateway in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Storage Gateway. You can also use S3 Object Lock to make backups immutable within Amazon S3. If you’re planning to archive data for 90 days or longer, you can use Amazon Simple Storage Service Glacier with Veeam’s archive tier. For example, you can store data that you don’t plan to use for 30 days or longer in Amazon S3 infrequent access (IA) for lower cost. You can choose the type of storage based on the data access, resiliency, and cost requirements of your backup or archive data. Veeam supports multiple Amazon S3 storage classes to best fit your specific needs. This pattern details the process for sending backups created by Veeam Backup & Replication to supported Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) object storage classes by using the Veeam scale-out backup repository capability.
