Overview of NetBackup protection for Cloud object store
NetBackup enables backup and restore of cloud object stores on both on-premises and cloud-based object store services. You can deploy NetBackup in the same cloud network as the object store or provide HTTP(S) connectivity between the object store service endpoint and the backup host or scale-out server. You can also deploy NetBackup outside the vendor's cloud.
Note:
Cloud vendors may charge high data egress fees for transferring data out of their network. Before configuring a backup policy that moves data to another cloud, cloud region, or on-premises data center, check your cloud provider's data-out pricing.
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, IBM Storage Ceph, 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.
