Storware Backup & Recovery
    • Direct Backup to S3

      Storage 2 7 1.6k

      Hello!
      i’m trying the storware, as a ESX-appliance.
      I want to make backup of KVM VMs immediately to S3,
      i’ve configured the S3 Object Storage, in the Backup Destination section.

      But in the «Virtual Environments» policy, in the «PRIMARY BACKUP DESTINATION» — i can only choose the «File System».
      I can’t choose an «Object Storage» — as a «PRIMARY BACKUP DESTINATION».

      Is it possible, to send primary backup immediately to S3?

    • Yes, it is possible, did you choose node configuration for this backup destination? Can you give me your version of SBR?

      Hello!
      Version is 6.0.0-24

      I'll check now for the "node configuration" and reply soon

    • @KLM Also if you selected the "backup destination for cloud" lever in the backup destination configuration it would be only visible for cloud instances.

    • @Argus
      no, i didn't choose the "backup destination for cloud" .

      I've chosen "S3" in the 'Choose configuration' section at the "Edit node".

      Then, at the
      Edit Backup Destination - Amazon S3 / S3-compatible,
      under "Choose Node Configurations"
      i selected both: 'Default config' and 'S3'

    • But now i can't check the backup,
      'cause i've already backups for 15 VMs,
      and my trial license doesn't allow me to make any new backups. (10 VM limit).

      Now i'm looking for the ways of deleting my previous backups......
      Couldn't find yet......

      Just set my expiration policy to 1 day,
      if there are no other ways, i'll wait till tomorrow, untill my backups gonna expire by the policy.....

    • @KLM You can delete backups by removing VMs from the list in the Instances tab.
