É possível usar apenas o master Server sem o media server na nuvem?

Gostaria de Saber se é possível eu instalar apenas o master server na nuvem sem o media server e gravar os dados no S3.(apenas arquivos)

Estou saindo do NBU local para NBU na nuvem e quero instalar apenas o master server, não quero instalar o media server para armazenamento, pois os discos EBS são mais caros que o S3 da Amazon.

 è possível instalar o Master e usar o  bucket do S3 Amazon ?

Hi @msantana 

Using the master also as a media server is generally not good practice, but in smaller environments it is a valid approach.

The article you mentioned is also a good reference, but to use MSDP-Cloud, you first need to have local MSDP on the server (as this is used as cache). The local MSDP needs to have about 1TB free space for the cache (this can be configured but is generally not recommended to change the settings), The local MSDP requires EBS storage (which you originally said you don't want to pay for).

Hi @msantana 

Yes it is possible to do this, but not necessarily a good idea. If you do not provide any local block storage (EBS), then you will not be able to make use of deduplication to save space. This means that each backup copy will consume that amount of S3 storage.

You would need to do a cost benefit analysis on the total cost of S3 storage by itself, compared to the expected cost of some EBS storage (1TB) plus a whole lot less S3 storage (~90-95% less storage requirement). 

Without knowing more about what you are backing up, and the retention requirements it is not possible to say which is better.

Oi @davidmoline 

Obrigado pelos seus esclarecimentos é de grande valia para mim.

Então o Master serviria como Media server neste caso, ele faria o trabalho de Media server é isso?

Na verdade, eu vi que não é aconselhável usar apenas um servidor tanto para o mestre quanto para o servidor de mídia.

em relação ao MSDP eu estava pensando em seguir estes documentos que explicam como configurar o MSDP na nuvem. esta não seria uma Desduplicação em nuvem?

qual cenário seria ideal para usar o Amazon (S3) ?

Att,
