Can’t find anything specific about this, but have to assume when using the COPY mode, Veeam uses some work space to extract/hold the data blocks before copying to the Capacity tier?
Answer
Capacity tier - copy mode - work space

I will go double check, but I am 99.9% confident there is no working space or cache storage. Never heard of it before.

+8“...Veeam Backup & Replication initiates a new copy session which simply extracts data blocks and metadata from each new backup file (.VBK, .VIB, .VRB) created on any of the performance extents of your scale-out backup repository and copies these blocks and metadata to the capacity extent”
so as I read that blocks are streamed to the capacity tier, like restore only streams the blocks to the target rather than downloading the whole file?

It seems that it is dependent on the SOBR and extents being available what it does.
