Next, we will need a Repository configured under Backup Infrastructure, so we can present that storage to the Cloud Connect clients. Veeam Backup and Replication is installed and licensed, so we can check that off the list. Once the Veeam license is applied, the Cloud Connect area will now show up on the left-hand side.īefore we can get starting, let’s get some things setup first.
I’ll assume installing Veeam Backup and Replication is not an issue, or it has already been installed. So, Let’s get started with the setup on the Service Provider side of things! First thing’s first – you’ll need a valid license key to unlock the Cloud Connect capabilities. Some offer just basic storage offsite, while others offer redundant storage replicated to another geographic region.Īlso, Cloud Connect Enterprise is available, providing the Enterprise datacenter to have Cloud Connect internally, as a way to manage remote Veeam Installs as well as their offsite backups back to a central location. There are many Cloud Connect providers as well, all competing for your business. What makes Cloud Connect really special, is that all communication to the cloud provider is over a single port. Veeam has always been a great product for backup and replication, and in the recent past, they had introduced Cloud Connect, as a way to have integrated offsite backups to a hosted provider.
