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?

View originalI will go double check, but I am 99.9% confident there is no working space or cache storage. Never heard of it before.
It seems that the restore is blocks as well Craig depending on the scenario. See here - Restore Scenarios - User Guide for VMware vSphere (veeam.com)
It seems that it is dependent on the SOBR and extents being available what it does.
“...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?
