File Shares and Object Storage • Re: Storage Account and Azure NetApp Files backup

Hi Fabian,

Thanks for the details.

I do not understand this - However, the File Backup Cache will still need to be stored on a non-object storage repository, which will require you to open ports 2500 to 3300 to the backup repository holding the cache data.
Please provide reference to some documentation.

I should be testing this end-to-end (from file share backup using a proxy that is part of a domain, while VBR server isn't part of domain, and then writing to tapes from the VBR server), but due to time constraints, i'm asking these questions here.

So if I do the following,

1. Deploy a windows servers in clients azure subscription. Then add this server to clients domain.
2. This server should be able to access Azure file shares using AD user creds, which are read-only (for restores, this has to change to rw)
3. Open ports for backup proxy from VBR server (backup server) to this server in Azure subscription - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ckup-proxy
a. This goes through multiple firewalls (one at our site), the other at our client. Similar to the ports that we currently have working for Veeam backup for Azure on this same VBR server
4. Add this proxy server to VBR server - the user account has to be part of Local administrator group - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... -and-hosts
5. Add SMB file share. At this step -- https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
a. Specify the backup proxy added in #4 above
6. Create file backup job
a. At step 4 (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120) I use the existing S3 backup repository that exists on this server, on which we are already doing backup copy jobs for Azure VMs backup
7. We do not need archive and secondary repository settings
8. And then finally be able to write this out to tape


I'm asking a lot, but does the above steps look fine for implementation? Or is anything missing?

Thanks,
-Sumeet.
