In the case of Veeam Cloud Connect, unlike Cloud edition, no additional patch or software is required on the client side in addition to Veeam Backup and Replication. Veeam Backup version 9 and 9.5 also brought with it the possibility to replicate virtual machines (VMs) over Cloud Connect providers.
Therefore, Veeam discontinued Veeam Cloud Edition and replaced it with Veeam Cloud Connect. And the only supported way to export Veeam backups to Amazon glacier is to use a Cloud storage gateway in Virtual
Link Trunking (VLT) mode.
How Veeam Backups are sent to Amazon Glacier?
The Schematics of the supported solution for sending Veeam backups to Amazon are as follows:
Note that when using this solution we are copying Backup files to Amazon. We don’t copy VMs directly, but the content of backup files generated previously by another Veeam job.
When users restore, they can choose if they want to restore the backup file in a local repository or perform a restore of a VM. Once the Cloud Storage Gateway is enabled, the configuration will be done in Veeam.
