Hello, I am looking for some guidance on a way to copy backups of an EC2 server with MS SQL Server installed on it from an S3 backup repository to a local repository. Currently we have Backup & Replication installed at our on premise location and need to pull these EC2 backups down to perform database level restores to a SQL server on premise. So the backups need to be SQL-aware and also handle transaction logs. Our on premise repository is a hardened Linux repository.
I have reviewed the following potential options, but unsure which would be a good fit:
1. Veeam for AWS - Appears to support Backup Copy from S3 => Onprem repository. I could not conclude however if it supports SQL transaction log backups as this is a requirement.
2. Veeam B&R agent installed on the EC2 instance. My understanding is the agents support transaction log backups for SQL. We would prefer the EC2 agent backups go to S3 and then copy them down to our local repo. However, I'm unsure if it is possible to perform a backup copy from S3 to On-prem using this method.
Any guidance would be appreciated on how this goal can be achieved. Thank you.
