# etcd V3 Quickstart Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

etcd is a distributed key value store that provides a reliable way to store data across a cluster of machines.

## Get started

### 1. Prerequisites

- Docker 18.03 or above, refer here for [installation](https://docs.docker.com/install/).

### 2. Start etcd

### Create a backup job

#### Backup Virtual Machines with Veeam Backup and Replication

- Under Home > Jobs > Backup in Navigation Pane, click on Backup Job button in the ribbon and choose Virtual Machine. Follow the on screen wizard.

- On the Storage screen, choose the Scale-out Backup Repository that was configured previously.

MinIO in distributed mode lets you pool multiple drives (even on different machines) into a single object storage server. As drives are distributed across several nodes, distributed MinIO can withstand multiple node failures and yet ensure full data protection.

## Why distributed MinIO?

It can be configured via MinIO's standard configuration API (i.e. using `mc admin config set/get`), or equivalently with environment variables. For brevity we show only environment variables here:

```sh

1. [Standalone Deployment](#standalone-deployment)
2. [Distributed Deployment](#distributed-deployment)
3. [Cloud Scale Deployment](#cloud-scale-deployment)

## 1. Standalone Deployment

To host multiple tenants on a single machine, run one MinIO Server per tenant with a dedicated HTTPS port, configuration, and data directory.

### 1.1 Host Multiple Tenants on a Single Drive

Use the following commands to host 3 tenants on a single drive:
