Veeam

Add a Zata bucket as an object storage repository in Veeam Backup & Replication.

Veeam Backup & Replication can store backups in a Zata bucket. You add the bucket as an S3 Compatible object storage repository, then use it as the target of your backup jobs.

Before you start

A bucket for the backups. See Create a bucket.
An access key from the same region as the bucket. See Access keys.
Veeam Backup & Replication installed on Windows.

Connection settings

Setting	Value
Service point	`https://idr01.zata.ai` for Indore, `https://bom01.zata.ai` for Mumbai
Region	`us-east-1` (Zata does not check the region name)
Credentials	Access key and secret key from Access Keys in the Zata console. The key must be from the same region as the bucket.
Bucket	Your bucket name, for example `my-bucket`

Set up Veeam

Open Backup Repositories

In the Veeam console, open Backup Infrastructure. Right-click Backup Repositories and select Add Backup Repository.

Backup Repositories under Backup Infrastructure in the Veeam console

Choose S3 Compatible

Select Object storage, then S3 Compatible, then S3 Compatible again.

Add Backup Repository window with Object storage highlighted

Object Storage window with S3 Compatible highlighted

S3 Compatible window with the S3 Compatible option highlighted

Name the repository

Enter a name, for example Zata, and click Next.

Enter the account details

Enter the Service point and Region from the table above. Next to Credentials, click Add…, enter your access key and secret key, and click OK. Click Next.

Account step with the Service point field and the Credentials window for the access key and secret key — Any region name works. We recommend us-east-1.

Choose the bucket and folder

Enter your bucket name (or click Browse…). Next to Folder, click Browse… and select a folder, or create one with New Folder. Click Next.

Bucket step with the bucket name and an empty Folder field

Select Folder window showing a new folder inside the bucket

Choose the mount server

Keep the default mount server (or pick the one your jobs use) and click Next.

Mount Server step with the mount server and the instant recovery write cache folder

Finish

Click Next on Review, wait until Apply shows that the repository was saved, and click Finish.

Test it

Create a small backup job with the Zata repository as its target and run it. Then restore one file from that backup. A working connection alone does not prove that backup and restore work.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Error about credentials or the signature	Copy the keys again from Access Keys. The key must be from the same region as the Service point.
The bucket is not found, or Browse… shows no buckets	Check that the bucket is in the region of the Service point. A sub-user’s key cannot list buckets, so type the bucket name.
Access denied	The key needs list, read, write and delete access to the bucket. See Access denied.

For other errors, see Signature errors and Endpoint and region.
