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

This page is intended as a summary of MinIO Erasure Coding. For a more complete explanation, see <https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html>.

## Overview

## 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.

containers provide isolated application execution environment, orchestration platforms allow seamless scaling by helping replicate and manage containers. MinIO extends this by adding isolated storage environment for each tenant.

MinIO is built ground up on the cloud-native premise. With features like erasure-coding, distributed and shared setup, it focuses only on storage and does it very well. While, it can be scaled by just replicating MinIO instances per tenant via an orchestration platform....

The *Secure Channel* splits the object content into chunks of a fixed size of `65536` bytes. The last chunk may be smaller to avoid adding additional overhead and is treated specially to prevent truncation attacks. The nonce value is 96 bits long and generated randomly per object / multi-part part. The *Secure Channel* supports plaintexts up to `65536 * 2^32 = 256 TiB`.

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

### Add MinIO as an object store for Veeam

Follow the steps from the Veeam documentation for adding MinIO as an object store - <https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/adding_s3c_object_storage.html?ver=100>

Instance is now accessible on the host at port 9000, proceed to access the Web browser at <http://127.0.0.1:9000/>

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://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html)

### Stable

n.com/blogs/storage/replicating-existing-objects-between-s3-buckets/) can be enabled by passing `existing-objects` as a value to `--replicate` flag while adding or editing a replication rule.

Once existing object replication is enabled, all objects or object prefixes that satisfy the replication rules and were created prior to adding replication configuration OR while replication rules were disabled will be synced to the target cluster. Depending on the number of previously existing objects,...
