Anyone using S3 cloud storage as a repository for Veeam backup copy jobs?

I did not see any encryption options in the backup copy job settings, is there a way to encrypt backups to S3 cloud storage for Veeam backup copy jobs?

I’ve had good luck using Cloudian with Veeam. It just works with the existing workflow and keeps things straightforward.

We do SOBR tiering and anything more than 3 months goes to Azure. Im pretty sure it retains encryption but not sure. The backup jobs themselves have encryption enabled.

What do you mean when you say SOBR tiering? I know SOBR as scale out backup repo, but what about the tiering side?

The Backups first go to a repository we have onsite. Then as they age they get moved to Azure. Kinda like GFS but the G and F go to Azure Blobs

Makes sense, might implement something similar. Thanks!

I believe [Wasabi](https://wasabi.com/i) is basically an S3 bucket and can be encrypted. But you might need to doublecheck that.

Should just be in the copy job settings > Target > Advanced and then Storage tab.

I swear I looked there but I must not have because I found it right where you said. Thank you!

Not S3 here but Azure w/ Veeam but they're not backup copy jobs but explicitly backup jobs to the storage and they force encryption. I'd assume AWS is pretty similar.
