The settings of this volume differ from settings for a Backup to disk repository which uses Large File Optimization and probably no Audit.

Create a new Volume of type 'SNAS' with a parity of 3 or 2

Compression is recommended for the capacity tier

Disable Large-File Optimization since Veeam will split data into smaller object for S3

For higher redundancy a parity level of 3 is recommended

Since S3 communicates via HTTPs, certificates are being used. In order to update the SSL certificate of the Silent Brick System proceed as follows:

Navigate to Settings -> Network

Select "Edit" for "Custom SSL Certificate" and upload your own certificates.

Certificates may be generated manually or via services like Lets Encrypt

Supported certificate types are SSL certificates including the private key and the signing certificate authority.

Certificates with passphrase are not supported.

Add a new repository of type 'Object Storage' - 'S3 Compatible'

Enter the Service Point URL previously noted

Enter the credentials as defined for the S3 Share

Select the previously created bucket

Add a folder to the bucket

Veeam for Office 365 will need a local storage for caching data. A rough size should be set to around 1% of total backup needs
