As the source to the backup to tape job, you can add tenants or cloud repositories. Service providers can back up tenants backups from cloud repositories to tape. This option is available for Veeam Cloud Connect service providers.

If you create or remove backup jobs that use this repository, or if you change the configuration of such backup jobs, you do not need to reconfigure the tape job that archives the repository. In this case, the tape job will start on the set time and archive all new restore points that were created in the period since the last job run. You can set explicit backup windows for the tape job. The tape job monitors the selected repository in a background mode. When you add a repository as a source to a tape job, the tape job constantly scans the selected repository (or repositories) and writes the newly created backups to tape. When using backup repositories as a source for backup to tape, only supported backup types can be archived to tape.
