Right. We have migrated our File Sever to SharePoint. Predecessor did not consider backups; I am trying to fix that quickly. Veeam Backup for Office 365 looks like the correct solution. But it does not include storage. So I am trying to quickly figure that out. Unfortunately, the sales guy I talked to (initial conversation) was of zero help. He just wanted to point to the web page and move on. In my ignorance, I am looking for some basic human help… suggestions…
One option for storage would be “local.” Cool. I can spin up a windows box. But what do I need to achieve? Is the connection SFTP? Or is their a local client I can install to make this easy?
The other option would be something in AWS. Totally clueless on what that would look like, cost, or how I would set this up.
To be clear, this is intended to be a regular backup for Cold Storage. I do not see us accessing this data, other than through regular test and some sort of unlikely DR scenario. So it need not be fast or expensive storage
Any thoughts or suggestions? TY in advance.
You can do either of these options with Veeam Backup for Office 365. It is storage agnostic allowing you to choose the best fit for your needs. When it comes to storing data in AWS, I believe there are some cost calculators out there for you to use.
When setting up your repositories, be sure to run through the user guide. This will be able to provide you with all the information you need.
In my lab environment, I have backups being stored on a local directory on the backup server and some backups going to Azure.
