One of your Backup Jobs is configured to use Object Storage as a Repository target. You receive a Backup Job error stating Veeam tried to create an S3 Child Bucket but it failed. What should you do to quickly correct the problem so the Job can create the Child Bucket and backup successfully?

  1. Create a new Backup Job and add the Object Storage Child Bucket to the new Job
  2. Do nothing; Veeam will auto create the Child Bucket at next job run
  3. Add a new Gateway and specify the path to the new Child Bucket
  4. Edit the Object Storage Repository target and add the new Child Bucket

  1. Edit the Object Storage Repository target and add the new Child Bucket

Is this error related to the “Automatic bucket creation” repository setting?

  1. Edit the Object Storage Repository target and add the new Child Bucket.

    This is a workaround.

    The cause of the issue is like a permissions issues or misconfiguration of the Repository

Helpcenter says

“In case the creation of a new bucket fails (for example, due to lack of the necessary permissions), Veeam Backup & Replication writes backups to an existing child bucket that is less occupied. At the same time, Veeam Backup & Replication will try to create new child buckets on the next run of a job.”

So i would go with b.

“Do nothing; Veeam will auto create the Child Bucket at next job run”

Hmm, this seems to be related to the new option in object storage repositories to have Veeam create S3 buckets automatically. My educated guess is D.

my guess:
Do nothing; Veeam will auto create the Child Bucket at next job run
