I just upgraded to v12 and the direct-to-object storage feature is exciting but I am having trouble doing what I would like to do.
I have the veeam service provider console and associated cloud connect server, and several single physical servers at different customer sites that I would like have a local backup + direct to object storage backup strategy for. I was hoping to use veeam agents on the physical servers and just use my console + cloud connect server to manage / monitor the backups. Ideally backup data would just go to the local storage at the same physical site as the server (NAS/external USB), and be uploaded directly to object storage without going through the cloud connect server.
I considered using a scale-out backup repository for this, but trying to configure a scale out backup repository on my cloud connect server, but I can’t have an extent be local storage.
I considered installing a backup server on the physical server but this seems like a bad idea given the backup server would be installed on the same device as the protected environment.
I considered a backup copy job but this also requires VBR.
I think I can just create two backup jobs with separate destinations - one local storage, one direct-to-object storage, but this is two separate backups.
What is the best way to accomplish a local backup + direct-to-object storage backup of a single physical server located at a remote customer site?
