Lyve Cloud with Veeam Backup and Replication

Veeam Backup and Replication consists of three components:

  • Backup Server (GUI, installed on Windows 64-bit OS)
  • Backup Proxy (installed on Windows or Linux machine)
  • Backup Repository (Any disk-based storage) with copy/archive to object storage

Prerequisites

  • A Lyve Cloud Storage Account
  • Permission with All Operations
  • A Veeam Backup and Replication Account
 Note—The following instructions use Veeam Backup and Replication v11.

Configuration overview

The configuration for Lyve Cloud with Veeam Backup & Replication is divided into three simple tasks.

  1. Create a Lyve Cloud Service Account.
  1. Create a bucket with Object Immutability enabled.
 Important—For correct setup with Veeam, you must configure your storage bucket with object immutability turned on.
  1. Turn off Object Immutability.
 Important—To enable S3 versioning, our customers can utilize the immutability feature. By creating a bucket and enabling immutability, versioning is automatically enabled as well. Once versioning is active, Veeam customers should turn off immutability in the Lyve Cloud console, removing default retention period for newly created objects.

  1. Create bucket permission. For more information, see Creating bucket access permissions.
  2. Create a service account. For more information, see Creating service accounts.
  1. Create a Veeam environment. For more information, see How to Install Backup and Replication.
  2. Add a cloud tier to Veeam Backup & Replication. For more information, see How to move data to Veeam Cloud Tier.
  3. Add a capacity tier to Veeam Backup & Replication to store and archive backups in the cloud. For more information, see Veeam Scale-out Repository.

Deploying Lyve Cloud with Veeam

To deploy Lyve Cloud with Veeam:

  1. Add a cloud tier on the Veeam Backup server.
  1. Launch New Object Repository Wizard. Open the Backup Infrastructure tab and select Backup Repositories. In the menu, select Add Repository.

  1. In the Add Backup Repository dialog, choose Object Storage and select S3 Compatible to add the backup repository.

  1. In the New Object Storage Repository dialogue, specify a Name and Description. Select Next.

  1. In the Accounts section, select the S3 URL of your Lyve Cloud Bucket from the Buckets section of the Lyve Cloud console. Paste it to the Service Point field in Object Repository Wizard.

  1. In the New Object Storage Repository, specify the following in the Account section.
  • Service Point: Enter the S3 Bucket URL. For more information, see Creating buckets. Select the S3 URL of your Lyve Cloud Bucket from the Buckets section of the Lyve Cloud console and paste it.
  • Region: Type in the region specified in the S3 URL.
  • Credentials: Select Add... and provide the access and secret keys. For more information, see Creating service accounts.
  • Gateway Server: Select Use the following gateway server and choose the appropriate server from the list.

Select Next.

  1. Select the Bucket menu from the New Object Storage Repository wizard and specify the following:
  • Bucket: Browse the bucket from the desired location.
  • Folder: Browse the folder from the desired location.
 Note—To prohibit the deletion of data blocks from Lyve Cloud object storage, select the Make recent backups immutable for check box and specify the immutability period. This option can only be used with a Lyve Cloud S3 bucket with versioning enabled. For more information, see Immutability.

  1. Verify the details in the Summary menu and select Finish to complete the object storage repository configuration.

  1. Select Summary to review, and then select Finish.

 Note—If you configured your storage bucket with object immutability enabled, you will need to turn it off by editing the bucket once you’ve completed this final step. Make sure versioning is active for continued ransomware protection.

Creating a scale-out backup repository

To create a scale-out backup repository (SOBR), you must first create backup repository. For more information on creating a backup repository, see Deploying Lyve Cloud with Veeam.

  1. Choose the placement policy for this performance tier.

  1. From the Capacity Tier section, check Extend scale-out backup repository capacity with object storage and choose an object repository. Then check the options to define time windows when uploading to the capacity tier is allowed. Select Apply.

  1. Review the summary and select Finish.

  1. The scale out backup repository is successfully created.
