Veeam

Veeam Backup & Replication supports any S3-compatible object storage as a Capacity Tier for the Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR). Filebase fits this role with no egress charges, which makes restores from cold backups cheap.

Add Filebase as a backup repository

  1. In the Veeam console, open Backup Infrastructure → Backup Repositories → Add Repository.
  2. Choose Object storage.
  3. Choose S3 Compatible.
  4. Fill in:
FieldValue
Service pointhttps://s3.filebase.io
Regionauto
Access keyYour Filebase access key
Secret keyYour Filebase secret key
BucketYour Filebase bucket
Folder(an optional prefix within the bucket)
  1. Configure throughput limits if your environment requires them.
  2. Complete the wizard.

Use as Capacity Tier in a SOBR

  1. Backup Infrastructure → Scale-Out Repositories → Add new SOBR.
  2. Add your existing local performance tier as the Performance Tier.
  3. Add the Filebase repository as the Capacity Tier.
  4. Choose policy:
    • Move — older backups migrate from local to Filebase.
    • Copy — backups are written to Filebase as well as kept locally.

Immutability

If you want immutable backups (Veeam's defense against ransomware-tampering of backup chains), enable object lock on the bucket and set the immutability period in Veeam. Object lock support on Filebase is on the roadmap; for now, immutability is a roadmap feature you should plan for if it's a requirement.
