You can use Object Storage to backup and restore data using Veeam Backup & Replication as well as back up data under the 3-2-1 rule.

How to use Object Storage Veeam backup:

  • S3 protocol-compatible.
  • Support for locking files with s3 object lock
  • Allows restricting data access using an ACL and a bucket policy.

To configure Object Storage for Veeam backup:

  1. Get your cloud ready.
  2. Create a bucket.
  3. Set up a service account.
  4. Configure a backup job.
  5. Run a backup job.
  6. Run a restore job.

If you no longer need the resources you created, delete them.

Getting startedGetting started

Sign up in Yandex Cloud and create a billing account:

  1. Navigate to the management console and log in to Yandex Cloud or register a new account.
  2. On the Yandex Cloud Billing page, make sure you have a billing account linked and it has the ACTIVE or TRIAL_ACTIVE status. If you do not have a billing account, create one and link a cloud to it.

If you have an active billing account, you can navigate to the cloud page to create or select a folder for your infrastructure to operate in.

Learn more about clouds and folders.

Required paid resourcesRequired paid resources

The cost of Veeam backup includes:

  • Fee for data storage (see Object Storage pricing).
  • Fee for data operations (see Object Storage pricing).
  • Fee for outbound traffic from Yandex Cloud to the internet (see Object Storage pricing).
