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](https://www.ovhcloud.com/es-es/bare-metal/) - A [Veeam Enterprise Backup solution](https://www.ovhcloud.com/es-es/storage-solutions/veeam-enterprise/) - [OVHcloud Object Storage](https://www.ovhcloud.com/es-es/public-cloud/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](/es/guides/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/getting-started-with-dedicated-server.md) for Dedicated Servers. You can also configure your Dedicated Server to use the private network by following the steps in [this guide](/es/guides/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/vrack-configuring-on-dedicated-server.md). ### Setting up your Veeam Enterprise backup server Download, install, and license your Veeam Enterprise backup server using our guide [Setting up Veeam Backup & Replication](/es/guides/storage-and-backup/backup-and-disaster-recovery-solutions/veeam/veeam-veeam-backup-replication.md). 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](#gofurther) step. ### Setting up your Object Storage Object Storage creation and configuration can be done in the `Public Cloud ` 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](/es/guides/public-cloud/cross-functional/create-a-public-cloud-project.md) guide. [Create an Object Storage container](/es/guides/storage-and-backup/object-storage/s3-getting-started-with-object-storage.md) 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. :::info 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. ```json { "Statement":[ { "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:PutObject", "s3:DeleteObject", "s3:ListBucket", "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts", "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads", "s3:AbortMultipartUpload", "s3:GetBucketLocation" ], "Effect":"Allow", "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::", "arn:aws:s3::: :::/*" ], "Sid":"RWContainer" } ] } ``` Make sure to replace `container name` with your actual Object Storage container name. From the OVHcloud Control Panel , select `Public Cloud ` and then `Object Storage ` under the `Storage` section. Click on the more options `... ` button to the right of the Object Storage user and choose `Import S3 Policy (JSON) `. Select the JSON file you just edited and click `Import `. ![Object Storage - Object Storage user - JSON import](/images/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/veeam-enterprise-server-backup-preparation/backup-preparation-01.png) ### Configuring the Object Storage repository in Veeam Enterprise From the Veeam application, select `Backup Infrastructure `, `Backup Repositories `, and `Add Repository `. ![Veeam - add respository](/images/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/veeam-enterprise-server-backup-preparation/backup-preparation-02.png) Select `Object storage ` as the repository type. ![Veeam - Object Storage](/images/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/veeam-enterprise-server-backup-preparation/backup-preparation-03.png) Select `S3 Compatible `. ![Veeam - S3 compatible](/images/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/veeam-enterprise-server-backup-preparation/backup-preparation-04.png) Give the new repository a **Name** and click `Next `. ![Veeam - repository name](/images/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/veeam-enterprise-server-backup-preparation/backup-preparation-05.png) Enter the **Service point** (Endpoint) and **Region** information for your Object Storage service.
