Veeam Backup

This guide is provided for informational purposes. Because it involves third party tooling we cannot guarantee things still work exactly as described here.

Veeam is predominantly used in the enterprise segment as a backup software. Amazon S3-compatible object storages are often used for long term storage for backups. Exoscale offers an S3-compatible object storage that works with Veeam. This guide shows how to set up Veeam for backups.
