How it works
Set up S3 storage as a Veeam repository in minutes
No complex architecture. No secondary infrastructure. Just add PeaSoup S3 to your Veeam console and start backing up.
Configure S3 endpoint in Veeam
In Veeam Backup & Replication, add a new repository and select "S3 compatible." Enter PeaSoup's connection details.
Create or redirect backup jobs
Create new backup jobs targeting PeaSoup S3, or redirect existing jobs to use it as a scale-out or archive repository.
Backups flow automatically
Veeam encrypts, compresses, and deduplicates backups before sending them to PeaSoup S3. Forever-incremental uploads minimise cloud storage overhead.
Restore on demand
Restore individual files, applications, or entire VMs directly from PeaSoup S3 — all within Veeam's restore workflow.
Why S3 storage for Veeam makes sense
Cost-efficient scale
£4.99/TB vs Veeam Cloud Connect at £24.40/TB — ideal for large or long-term backups.
Scale-out repository
When your primary Veeam repository fills up, add S3 as a seamless scale-out tier without rearchitecting.
Archive control
Use lifecycle policies to auto-transition or delete old backups. Set retention rules that match your compliance needs.
Immutable storage
Object lock prevents any deletion or modification. WORM-compliant protection against ransomware attacks.
Key features
Built for Veeam backup success
Everything you need for reliable, cost-efficient Veeam backup storage on UK-sovereign infrastructure.
S3-compatible API
Veeam's native S3 support works seamlessly — no plugins, no workarounds, just standard S3 repository configuration.
Immutable with object lock
WORM-compliant object lock prevents any modification or deletion after write. Ransomware-proof by design.
Forever-incremental
Veeam's source-side deduplication works seamlessly. Only changed blocks uploaded — minimal cloud storage cost.
Lifecycle policies
Auto-transition old backups or delete based on age. Set retention rules for compliance without manual intervention.
UK-only data residency
All Veeam backups stored exclusively in UK data centres. GDPR-aligned, no international transfers.
Encryption standard
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2/1.3 in transit. Veeam encryption + PeaSoup encryption = multiple layers of protection.
Use cases
When S3 storage is right for your Veeam environment

Store 12-month, 3-year, or 7-year archives cost-effectively. Object lock provides immutability for regulatory compliance.
Scale-out Veeam repositories
When your primary Veeam repository capacity is reached, add S3 as a seamless scale-out tier. Tier backups automatically based on age.
Cost-conscious deployments
£4.99/TB is cost-effective for organisations backing up multi-TB Veeam environments. No egress fees simplifies long-term economics.

Common questions about S3 storage for Veeam
In Veeam Backup & Replication, add a new backup repository and select “S3 compatible” as the type. Enter PeaSoup’s S3 endpoint, access key, and secret key. Veeam handles the rest — no API calls or scripts needed.
No. Your existing Veeam Standard VM or Server license covers S3 repository usage. No additional licensing costs for using S3 as a target.
Yes. VCC for primary, managed backups; S3 for archives and scale-out. Configure two separate repositories in Veeam and use backup jobs to target each appropriately.
Object lock (S3) prevents any deletion or modification after write — enforced at the storage layer. Insider Protection (Veeam Cloud Connect) moves deleted backups to a 7-day vault. Both protect against deletion; object lock is WORM-compliant.
Veeam’s forever-incremental backup technology handles deduplication at source. Only changed blocks are sent to PeaSoup S3, keeping your cloud storage costs minimal while maintaining full restore capability.
