A client of ours wants to move away from using AWS S3 as a secondary backup and asked if it was possible to host their own in one of their international offices ?
They effectively want to be their own cloud backup provider, has anyone done this or can suggest software that can be used etc..

This is basically a Veeam Cloud Connect scenario… your customer (or you?) has to be a Veeam Cloud & Service Provider for this.
What is the reason your client wants to move away from cloud object storage? Cost, speed, reliability?

They could use this but incur additional license costs. If they are looking to save they can add a repo from the second site as either block or object and then send a backup copy job to that location. This then does not cost additional licensing for Veeam.

Depends on the amount of data….

There is a Veeam Cloud Connect for enterprise option that could be used.
Just to clarify, does your customer want to target S3 compatible storage in another site, is that all? If so you could run an object storage solution from another site that’s on Veeam’s certified storage list. Either a hardware/software combo such as Object First or Cloudian, or a software specific solution such as MinIO
The primary reason is cost.
another advisor setup a nas using truenas of all things with nfs and remote mounted it. security to the wind it seems.
the reason they latched onto S3 is that its of a term they are familular with.
its an oddly run company e.g. some of the meetings I’ve been too have had PA’s and language translators attending on behalf of the managers, its hard to discuss technical things with a language barrier and emails seem to go through the same language translation too.
A customer can use VMware Cloud Director and use a normal Veeam Backup & Replication to backup VMs in the vCD. No need to be a Cloud provider to backup to vCD.
VMs backup in vCD will consume one license instance like in a “normal” Veeam Replication & Backup.

Just tossing a few ideas out there. VCC is an option, but I’d personally be looking more towards object storage, be it something like an Object-First Appliance, deduplicating appliance, Minio, etc.
