Are you trying to configure a Cloudian Hyperstore Private Cloud-Device or some other make device?

    Hi,

    I'm trying to configure our own S3-compatible storage.

    I was thinking that cloudian is a kind of S3-connector, which could be used to configure any generic S3-compatible storage. Is that correct?

      Cloudian is a vendor of storage solutions

        Hi Colin,

        thanks for your reply.

        ok, then it seems I get the documentation wrong.

        Hoewer, feature pack 5 release notes states the following:

         

         

        Spoiler

        Backup Exec supports backups to private cloud-based storage devices. Configure a private cloud storage server in your environment, create a cloud instance, and then configure a cloud storage device in Backup Exec for the private cloud storage server. You can now select this cloud storage device as the destination device for backup jobs or duplicate backup jobs.

        For more information about cloud-based storage devices and their configuration, see "About cloud-based storage devices" in the Backup Exec 15 Administrator's Guide.

        For the list of supported private cloud providers, see the Backup Exec Hardware Compatibility List at the following URL: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000024527

         

         

        So it says, that there is a possibility to configure a private S3-compatible storage and the list of the supported private cloud providers is in the BE HCL. However the latest HCL does not include any S3-compatible storage except Amazon and Google. Even Cloudian which is mentioned in Admin Guide and BE MCLI help is not in the HCL.

        That's why I was thinking that Cloudian is type of cloud connector which allows to configure any S3-compatible storage (not Amazon or Google).

        So could you please clarify: is it possible to configure any generic S3-compatible storage now with BE 15 fp5?
