Today we are going to setup Object Storage for our lab leveraging Object First’s Ootbi. This is a test lab environment for demo purposes.
After powering on Ootbi we are brought to the license screen.

After logging in for the first time Ootbi will give us hints of what our next steps should be.

We are now ready to move on to Veeam. Remember to copy the endpoint for use when connecting from Veeam.

You don’t need to write the keys down as you can always retrieve them in Ootbi.
Highlight the key and press show details to see both keys.

In a future post we will create some backups jobs and leverage Ootbi as the target taking full advantage of SOSAPI!
