VeeaMover in v12

In the upcoming Veeam Availability Suite v12 release, Veeam announced some new features. Move Backup is probably one of the most important features upcoming in Veeam B&R v12 is the VM Move or Copy feature. Veeam has designed a new VeeaMover technology around Block Cloning with ReFS (Windows) and XFS (Linux). Customers who deploy Repositories that use some form of Block Cloning can now move their backup data around without worrying about losing space savings with Block Cloning (rehydrating). You can move a Backup Job from one Repository to another and the Block Cloning is maintained! You can also move individual VMs from one Backup Job to another without losing previous Backup chain dat. Here’s an overview of VeeaMover in v12.

Thanks to S3 endpoint names often carrying a hint on the object storage device behind it, it is clear that Dell EMC ECS remains the king of large-scale on-prem object storage deployments. Data showed that object storage was almost exclusively used by enterprise customers, these days there is also a long tail of smaller deployments on vendors like Wasabi (Cloud Hot Storage). Why backup directly to Object Storage?
