You can use Veritas Access cloud storage that Veritas System Recovery can access.
To use Veritas Access cloud storage in Veritas System Recovery
  1. Open the Cloud Instance Creator Utility using the command prompt in administrator mode.
The Cloud Instance Creator Utility is located at the following path:
\< VSR Installation folder\>/Agent folder
  1. Create a Veritas Access cloud instance using the Cloud Instance Creator utility.
CloudInstance.exe -addinstance

CloudInstance ServiceHost: s3.yourservicehost.com
SSL Supported <0/1/2>: 2
HTTP Port: 8143

Where ServiceHost is replaced with your cloud service host endpoint address.
Veritas System Recovery supports the SSL protocol. While creating a cloud instance you can decide to use the SSL protocol. It is recommended that SSL be set to 2 (Full). SSL: 0 (disabled) and SSL: 1 (AuthenticationOnly).
Use 8143 as the HTTP Port and 443 as the HTTPS Port. These are the default ports. You can change the ports as per your server settings.
  1. Create a new backup job in Veritas System Recovery and in the OpenStorage Destination dialog box select S3 as the server type and enter the details of the created Veritas Access cloud instance that can be used to access Veritas Access storage.
For example, in Server Type, selectS3and inServer Name, entervtas-access:CloudInstance0001(cloudinstance provider:cloudinstance name)
