My production database is currently on an IBM server with AIX. We use Informix as our database software. We've migrated most of our physical assets to vSphere and back everything up with Veeam. We still have some Windows physical machines (need dedicated processors) that we use Veeam Endpoint Backup to the Veeam repository that is then replicated to a DR site and the cloud.
I'd like to do the same with Veeam, but their Linux version is beta and doesn't work on AIX. The architecture is different too. I'm considering exporting backups to a share on a proxy.
I'd like to find out if it's possible to get Veeam to upload non-Veeam backup files in the repository folder to the cloud?

I ended up creating a repo dedicated to Veeam for AIX systems. The databases save to a share and the Informix backups just replace themselves. Each keeps 3 restore points.
I hope Veeam comes up with a solution for AIX.
