OLD How To- Restore from Object storage (S3) with Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 - Community Edition
[Please Note: This video was made with Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 ]
In this Video I am showing how to Install Veeam and recover VMs from Object storage (S3, Veeam Capacity Tier) with the FREE software version of Veeam Backup & Replication called Community Edition.
If you do got a license to Veeam Backup & Replication then you can just follow the same steps and are not forced to use PowerShell to "unlock" the GUI.
The example take in consideration that all local copies of backup data is deleted and all you got is a Laptop or Server with Windows installed and a small potion of storage (100 GB in my example). Very handy in a disaster recovery scenario.
Big thanks to Cloudian for providing me with Storage :-)
Here are the PowerShell script I made (please note I got very limited PowerShell skills) :
Add-PSSnapin VeeamPSSnapin
Connect-VBRServer -Server "localhost" -User "Administrator" -Password "Password"
$account = Get-VBRAmazonAccount -AccessKey "1c979a13c08c55acaf5d"
$connect = Connect-VBRAmazonS3CompatibleService -Account $account -CustomRegionId "us-east-1" -ServicePoint "https://s3.cloudianhyperstore.com:443"
$bucket = Get-VBRAmazonS3Bucket -Connection $connect -Name "backuptest"
$folder = Get-VBRAmazonS3Folder -Name "Mplesner1" -Bucket $bucket -Connection $connect
Add-VBRAmazonS3CompatibleRepository -AmazonS3Folder $folder -Connection $connect -Name "CloudianHyperstorage.com"
$objectstorage = Get-VBRObjectStorageRepository -Name "CloudianHyperstorage.com"
Add-VBRScaleOutBackupRepository -Name "My ScaleOutRepository" -Extent "Cloud Backup Extend" -PolicyType Performance -EnableCapacityTier -ObjectStorageRepository $objectstorage
Disconnect-VBRServer
