Who's a good Veeam Cloud Connect Backup Service Provider?
-
Why not use Veeam's service for this? Don't they have a all-in-one solution from the backup solution to the Veeam-cloud offsite backup and rotation.

No, if you want to back up to cloud using Veeam, you must use a third party Veeam Cloud Connect Backup SP.

I like Veeam, I really do but it seems that they make just way to many products and or services and it simply complicates the solution research.
I want a solution that does X. Okay great Veeam does that, now select from these providers/options. . .
-
@dustinb3403 Yea it wasnt like that a few years ago at last job with VmWare and Veeam.
Wtf is the huge list of companies on that page? Cloud storage providers? No Backblaze, no Vultr listed. I even clicked Show More at least ten times. -
I'm seeing that it's just so expensive.
Tape still seems to be the best way to go when you're talking tens of TBs to get your data off-site. It seems like a tape library is way cheaper.

I use Data Harbor Company as they are local and friend of our owner.
You get a V B&R VM and all the tools. Then create backup jobs on local storage and then upload to repository.
They have more services they offer also but I just use them for backup.

It can seem that way depending upon how you look at it. Not having to pull off a tape is nice.
I did discover in the past, you can purchase the Veeam software and use a cloud provider for just a repository. The pricing seem ok @ $180-$200 per month per TB. As with all things, it is relative.

Veeam does have some documentation on using AWS storage in the form of a tape library (read that somewhere, just don't know where).
-
One full backup after Veeam's compression and all that is roughly 11TB. Daily incrementals are between 300 and 500 GB.
I'm sure I can create different jobs and not have to back it all up to cloud, which could dramatically change the amount needing to go to cloud and the costs associated with it, but then what doesn't go to cloud, would need to go to tape, and I was looking to get away from tape and do cloud only... not a hybrid, though that would still be acceptable and is an option we'd be willing to do.

This veeam cloud stuff is one of the reasons I gone with altaro (they have azure blob storage)

Vultr wouldn't be there as they don't offer a storage product.
It's BackBlaze, Wasabi and ones like that that you'd hope for.

Veeam to Synology, Synology to BackBlaze B2 or Wasabi. Works great and is cheap ($5/TB/month)

According to some users, Quest is hard to beat on price/support
