I am currently setting up a SOBR config, with capacity tier being offloaded to Wasabi. What I'm trying to figure out is how much data will need to be pulled down from the cloud in order to perform restores. Say, for example, I want to restore a single file that currently resides out in cloud storage. Will Veeam need to download the full VBK and VBI file-set, in order to perform that restore? Or, does it only need to pull down a few blocks? Is there any documentation that spells out how this works?
I'm trying to get this sorted so that I can determine the best way to structure my jobs. It wouldn't make sense for me to have multiple VMs in a job, if they entire job-set needs to be pulled down to restore a few files. But, I also don't want to lose Veeam's de-duplication abilities, but setting up many smaller jobs. Depending upon how cloud restores work, it may make sense to use the "per-machine backup files" option.
To be fair, I do have a support ticket open about this, but they're giving me some info that seems to conflict with other things I've read. They're saying that using the "per-machine backup files" doesn't affect de-duplication ability across a backup job, and that when restoring from the cloud, all backup files need to be copied locally before you can restore. So, I'm just looking for confirmation one way or the other.
