Hello,

A customer is using a "scale-out" repository on a compatible S3 and has Veeam version 11. They want to perform a test to recover the data stored on S3 to a new Veeam server. However, Veeam does not support direct import of data from the S3 repository in a "scale-out" configuration. To work around this limitation, the chosen option is to restore the Veeam configuration to the new server.

The question is whether it is possible to restore the configuration on Veeam version 12, and what limitations should be taken into consideration.

Thank you.

Yes you can restore v11 configuration to a v12 server.  It is in the documents on the Veeam site.

Hi,

 

To test a restore you could add the S3 compatible repository as an Object storage repository but not add it to a SOBR (you shouldn’t be accessing the same object storage from multiple Veeam instances anyway for backups, but a read-only type restore is acceptable for DR purposes)

I had the oportunity to help customer in real DR situations using this option and always worked perfectly.
