iSCSI needs to be involved since the VTL is exposed over iSCSI. These links should help you configure AWS Gateway and Starwinds VTL to your production environment https://aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/vtl/setup-demo/https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resource-library/starwind-cloud-vtl-for-aws-and-veeam-installation-and-configuration-guidance/We have customers running Starwinds VTL for archive backups. You would need to install Starwind to your backup server host, create tapes and then create Veeam (?) backup jobs to the tapes on VTL connected over iSCSI. On the AWS side, you would need just a bucket. Connect Starwinds VTL to AWS bucket, configure the scheduler and it will offload tapes when you need it. That basically it, Veeam backups data to tape, Starwind offloads take to the bucket according to configured retention.
We currently have 2 servers running ESXi. One live server with all our VM for our clients and one backup server. Nutanix seems like a good option for us to be able to have a backup system always live and not having to boot up any VM manually. That is what the high availability does, and is not the backup. For backups, you should define your RTO and RPO, how often, and what data is changed in order to plan and build the 3-2-1 backup environment aside from the HA cluster. Assuming you have two servers running HA cluster with vMotion/Replication in-between, you also need to have a separate onsite backup server that stores backup files independently and another server, offsite backup media, or cloud storage used for offline and offsite backup in a fireproof place. https://www.vmwareblog.org/3-2-1-backup-rule-data-will-always-survive/https://www.cvm.com/definitions-backup-vs-disaster-recovery-vs-high-availability/
