This process will create a job that writes backup data direct to the cloud repository without storing a copy of the backup in a local repository.
If you have a local backup chain of which you would like to replicate a copy to cloud storage, follow the Configuring Backup Copy Jobs guide
To launch the New Replication Job wizard, open the Veeam Backup and Replication Console and do one of the following:
Open the Home view, click Backup Job > Virtual Machine from the ribbon, select VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V depending on your virtual infrastructure
Open the Home view, right-click the Jobs node in the navigation tree and click Backup > Virtual Machine, select VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V depending on your virtual infrastructure
Open the Home view, select the Jobs node in the navigation pane, right click in the working area and click Backup > Virtual Machine, select VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V depending on your virtual infrastructure
At the Name step, specify the basic details of the job.
Give the replication job a meaningful name and description
Click Next
At the Virtual Machines step, specify the VMs to be backed up
Click Add
Locate the VMs you wish to replicate and click Add (VMs can also be added in bulk at the host or cluster level or multi-selected)
Click Next
At the Storage step, specify the storage settings of the job
Select the backup proxy if desired, or leave on Automatic
Select the Cloud repository
Specify retention settings for backup images
Click Advanced to change settings like backup mode and notification
Long retention policies and use of GFS retention for archival storage of backups will dramatically increase your backup quota usage
If you have applications that require Guest Processing (eg SQL) enable it at the Guest Processing step and supply appropriate Guest OS credentials
At the Schedule step, specify the required schedule for the job and click Next
Verify the job details and click Finish to complete the configuration
