Objective

Backing up a Bare Metal server with Veeam Enterprise involves several applications and services to work together. The process may also change based on your configuration and preferences.

Learn how to prepare to back up your Bare Metal Server using Veeam Backup and Replication (Enterprise).

Requirements

• An OVHcloud Bare Metal server
• A Veeam Enterprise Backup solution
• OVHcloud Object Storage (optional)

Instructions

Setting up your Dedicated Server

Your OVHcloud Bare Metal server needs to be installed and configured.

Browse our Getting Started guides for Dedicated Servers.

You can also configure your Dedicated Server to use the private network by following the steps in this guide.

Setting up your Veeam Enterprise backup server

Download, install, and license your Veeam Enterprise backup server using our guide Setting up Veeam Backup & Replication.

From here, you can keep reading to learn how to set up Object Storage as your repository or you can go directly to the Go further step.

Setting up your Object Storage

Object Storage creation and configuration can be done in the Public Cloud{.action} section of the OVHcloud Control Panel.

If you don't have already a Public Cloud project in your OVHcloud account, read our Creating your first OVHcloud Public Cloud project guide.

Create an Object Storage container using one of OVHcloud's Object Storage solutions (Standard or High Performance). Standard is recommended since this backup usually does not require High Performance storage.

[!primary] When ordering an Object Storage container from OVHcloud, only order Standard Object Storage or the *High Performance Object Storage. These containers support the Amazon S3 protocol fully and are designed for use as backup repositories.

Give the Object Storage user rights to the container by copying and pasting the text below into a JSON file.

{
  "Statement":[
    {
      "Action":
         [
             "s3:GetObject",
             "s3:PutObject",
             "s3:DeleteObject",
             "s3:ListBucket",
             "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
             "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
             "s3:AbortMultipartUpload",
             "s3:GetBucketLocation"
          ],
      "Effect":"Allow",
      "Resource":
          [
              "arn:aws:s3:::<container name>",
              "arn:aws:s3::: :::<container name>/*"
          ],
      "Sid":"RWContainer"
     }
  ]
}

Make sure to replace container name with your actual Object Storage container name.

From the OVHcloud Control Panel, select Public Cloud{.action} and then Object Storage{.action} under the Storage section. Click on the more options ...{.action} button to the right of the Object Storage user and choose Import S3 Policy (JSON){.action}.

Select the JSON file you just edited and click Import{.action}.
