About the Veritas Access 3340 Appliance
Veritas Access in an appliance form factor provides a cost-effective, performant, scalable, and highly available storage for storing data and retaining it for the compliance policies. You can use the Veritas Access 3340 Appliance for long-term retention (LTR) of backup images.
Note:
The Veritas Access 7.4.2 release is a standalone release as well as an appliance-oriented release. You can find all the documents related to the Veritas Access 3340 Appliance on the SORT site:

You can set up the Veritas Access 3340 Appliance by provisioning storage for:
Veritas Data Deduplication
Veritas recommends using Veritas Data Deduplication for long-term retention of data rather than using the long-term data retention (LTR) solution.
S3 Bucket
Note:
It is recommended to use only the LTR policies on the Veritas Access 3340 Appliance. All non-LTR policies use striped-mirror or mirror, which is not recommended on the Veritas Access 3340 Appliance because it already uses RAID-6 to protect the data. If you use other than LTR policies, it may result in consumption of twice of the capacity to store the same amount of data. To avoid it, you can manually select a file system to create a basic file system in the Veritas Access GUI instead of a policy, or use the Access command-line interface for full access to all the options for all the use cases. The use cases include adding replication, configuring a scale-out file system, and so on. The LTR policies use Simple as the default file system type. To view it, in the Veritas Access GUI, you can go to Settings > S3 Management > Default parameters for S3 buckets > File system type.
