MinIO server supports storage class in erasure coding mode. This allows configurable data and parity drives per object.

## Overview

require distributed deploying MinIO with Erasure Coding. For extended development and production, deploy MinIO with Erasure Coding enabled - specifically,
with a *minimum* of 4 drives per MinIO server. See [MinIO Erasure Code Overview](https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html)
for more complete documentation.

### Stable

```
mc mb -l myminio/veeambackup
```

> Object locking requires erasure coding enabled on the minio server. For more information see <https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html>.

### Add MinIO as an object store for Veeam

- **Engage Early**: Discuss complex changes in issues or Slack (https://slack.min.io) before coding.
- **Be Responsive**: Address reviewer feedback promptly to keep PRs moving.
- **Learn from Reviews**: Use feedback to improve future contributions.

As the minimum drives required for distributed MinIO is 2 (same as minimum drives required for erasure coding), erasure code automatically kicks in as you launch distributed MinIO.

If one or more drives are offline at the start of a PutObject or NewMultipartUpload operation the object will...

## About security, APIs, and docs { #about-security-apis-and-docs }

Hiding your documentation user interfaces in production *shouldn't* be the way to protect your API.

That doesn't add any extra security to your API, the *path operations* will still be available where they are.

If there's a security flaw in your code, it will still exist.

## How are drives used for Erasure Code?

MinIO divides the drives you provide into erasure-coding sets of *2 to 16* drives.  Therefore, the number of drives you present must be a multiple of one of these numbers.  Each object is written to a single erasure-coding set.
