How to Connect PeaSoup S3 to Veeam Backup & Replication

Follow these steps to configure Veeam Backup & Replication to store backups on PeaSoup S3, which uses an S3-compatible API. You can use PeaSoup as a backup repository, similar to how you would configure Amazon S3.

Prerequisites

  • PeaSoup S3 Access: Ensure you have the following information:
    • Access key
    • Secret key
    • Bucket name
    • PeaSoup S3 endpoint URL https://s3.eu-west-1.peasoup.cloud
  • Veeam Backup & Replication installed and properly licensed to support object storage backup.

Steps to Connect PeaSoup S3 to Veeam Backup & Replication

  1. Open Veeam Backup & Replication Console:
    • Launch the Veeam Backup & Replication console on your system and log in with your admin credentials.
  2. Add an Object Storage Repository:
    • In the Backup Infrastructure section, navigate to Backup Repositories.
    • Click on Add Repository and select Object Storage as the repository type.
  3. Select S3-Compatible Storage:
    • When prompted, select S3 Compatible as the storage type to configure.
  4. Configure PeaSoup S3 as the Backup Repository:
    • Service Provider: Enter the name for the repository (e.g., “PeaSoup S3”).

    • Access Key: Enter your PeaSoup S3 access key.
    • Secret Key: Enter your PeaSoup S3 secret key.
    • Region: Specify the region if required by PeaSoup, or leave this field blank if not needed.
  5. Configure the Object Storage Bucket:
    • Choose the bucket from your PeaSoup S3 account that you want to use for storing your backups.
    • If you don’t have a bucket yet, create one directly from the PeaSoup S3 console.
  6. Set up Folder and Cache Options:
    • Specify the folder in the bucket (optional) and configure the local cache location on your Veeam backup server if needed.
  7. Finalize the Repository Configuration:
    • Review your settings, and click Finish to complete the setup.
  8. Use PeaSoup S3 in Backup Jobs:
    • Now that the PeaSoup S3 repository is added, you can use it as a destination in your backup jobs or copy jobs.
    • Create or edit a backup job and select the PeaSoup S3 repository as the backup target.

Notes

  • Ensure PeaSoup S3 is accessible from your Veeam Backup & Replication server. Check network settings or firewall rules if needed.
  • Veeam Backup & Replication supports S3-compatible object storage for backup and archival, making it easy to integrate PeaSoup S3.
