Hi Veeam Team,
I'm using the Veeam Backup Plug-in for Microsoft SQL Server and trying to offload SQL full backups to Azure Blob Storage (Cool tier) via SOBR, but I don't see any offload happening.
Here's my setup:
- Veeam B&R: Latest Version
- SQL Plug-in installed and working on SSMS.
- Full backup (not Copy Only) created from the SQL plug-in.
- The backup target is a SOBR that includes:
- Performance Tier: Data Domain
- Capacity Tier: Azure Blob (Cool)
- Archive Tier: Azure Archive
- The SOBR has "Copy backups to object storage as soon as they are created" enabled
- I verified the job runs and stores the backup on the Performance Tier (Data Domain), but **nothing appears in Azure Blob**
- No entries under History > System > Capacity Tier
I checked the Azure container and can't find any `.vbk` files. I also can't confirm if Veeam is sending anything to Azure at all.
Is there something specific with the SQL Plug-in + SOBR that prevents offload?
Do Copy Only or SQL Agent jobs behave differently?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
ISTM
