Overview of NetBackup protection for Cloud object store
The NetBackup web UI provides the capability to back up and restore Cloud object stores. You can deploy the NetBackup environment on the same cloud network as the object store. Alternatively, you can provide HTTP(s) connectivity to the object store service endpoint and the backup host or scale-out server. You can deploy NetBackup outside the vendor's cloud as well.
Note:
Cloud vendors may levy substantial charges for data egress for moving data out of their network. Check your cloud provider's pricing for data-out before configuring a backup policy that transfers data out of one cloud to another cloud region or an on-premises data center.
NetBackup can protect Azure Blob Storage, and a wide variety of S3 API-compatible object stores like AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage (GCS), Hitachi Cloud Platform object stores, and so on. For a complete list of compatible object stores, refer to the NetBackup Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).
The protected objects in Azure Data Lake are referred to as files and directories, even though the underlying object is of type blob.
