Scale-Out Backup Repository

Question

Veeam Backup & Replication is currently configured to keep backups for 14 days on a NAS repository. An engineer needs to enable GFS with 12 monthly and 5 yearly full backups to extend the retention for archival purposes but does not have enough space on the repository to store them. After adding the repository to Scale-Out-Backup Repository (SOBR) as Performance Tier, which option should the engineer choose to solve this issue?

Options

  • AAdd an Object Storage as Capacity tier and set the policy to copy backups to object storage as
  • BAdd another NAS repository as Capacity tier and set the policy to move backups older than 14
  • CAdd an Object Storage as Archive tier and set the policy to move all GFS backups
  • DAdd an Object Storage as Capacity tier and set the policy to move backups older than 14 days

Explanation

To solve the space issue while enabling GFS retention, the engineer should add an Object Storage as a Capacity tier to the Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR) and set the policy to move backups that are older than 14 days. This approach allows for efficient use of local NAS storage for short-term retention and leverages object storage for long-term archival purposes.
