Hi @chandrasinghe, based on the detail provided is this an AWS VTL you’re trying to recover from, to AWS EC2?

I assume this is a virtual tape library. You have to copy the files from the tape repository to a disk repository in Veeam before restoring the data.

This is a restriction with Veeam. But for file-level-restore the VBK file has to be mounted and examined, this is not possible from a tape repo.

@JMeixner is right here, my question around the VTL was focused on giving you a better way forward if you’re using this, you could move to object storage to overcome tape limitations.

I am a fan of physical tape, but in this case when using AWS I would use object storage, too.

Sorry for late response

Seems Tape backup wont help immeadiate disaster recovery

Veeam offer D1(VM virtual disk) to D2 (Veeam local backup) to T (AWS Virtual Tape)

If I need recover  I shoud reverse  it. ok 👌 

AWS Tape to D1 to D2

Can I use this D1 as AWS S3 or EBS via Veeam.

I would use a scale-out repository with object storage as capacity tier….

Can we copy backup jobs to AWS S3 bucket on by One. Could some one help me to find proper documentation

Hi Community,

Thank you all for guide me.  😀 I have tested backup offload to AWS S3 and Restore to Ec2. Then I got this error while restoring Ubuntu VM.
