CONTEST: World Back Up Day Blog of the Month Special EditionBlog of the Month

As mentioned in my February 2024 Blog of the Month winner post, March marks the celebration of World Backup Day. In honor of this occasion, we're planning a dedicated and special edition of the Blog of the Month. We're inviting you to share stories about how backup saved your precious data or, conversely, instances where you wish you had known then what you know now to avoid data loss. It seems Jason also has an idea on how we can enjoy World Backup Day, so be sure to check out his post!Here's a brief personal story to kick things off: In 2009, fresh out of graduation, I embarked on a volunteer journey to India for three months – undoubtedly one of the best times of my life! During this unforgettable experience, I captured hundreds of photos, all stored on a single computer. Unfortunately, that computer was stolen, and I hadn't backed up any of my precious memories. The result? Not only did I lose the computer itself, but all those cherished moments captured in photos vanished in an in

What is the Automation Desk and what should it become?

The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency. - Bill Gates Do you have to do that (tedious) task every day? Do you have to deploy Veeam environments quite often? Don't want to do clickety click every time you need to create a new job? Want to reduce the possibility of "Human error"? Step in to the Automation Desk! These are just examples of topics that you could find or ask for at our Desk. Within the Automation Desk, you can ask and share anything Automation. As long as it is Veeam Related. Not sure? Ask one of the leaders. You can find them on the right side of the groupWhat can you add / do in the Automation Desk?Ask any Automation question Create (blog) posts related to automation or share news Join special events Share your thoughts, ideas, struggles etc. Automate!

What is the Kubernetes Korner and what should it become?

The Korner is a place where you can start your Kubernetes Journey.Veeam understood correctly that a huge group of IT specialists will need to get familiar with Kubernetes at an accelerate time frame because the demand for specialists will grow exponentially. However, this is much easier said than done given the fact that many people are working a full-time job and perhaps still believe that they have not yet achieved enough expertise in existing technologies that they are working with.The Kubernetes Korner will help everyone overcome these difficulties and learn together. What can you do at the Kubernetes Korner? Do the daily Kube Task, a brief Kubernetes task in an environment that we help you setup Ask any question you may have Create posts. Watch out for special events and meetings that are Cloud Native related Think of any ideas for the Kube Korner, this is your Korner too! We are all on this learning path together and our joint efforts will result in everyone’s common success!!

What is your Object Storage Journey?

Hi Folks, What has your object storage journey with Veeam been like and at what stage are you at now?I started using S3 compatible the minute Veeam introduced it as capacity tier for Scaleout repos. I leveraged a 4 node Docker Swarm cluster with Minio. I chose Docker Swarm at the time as Minio advised to use containers for multitenancy and mentioned Kubernetes. I arrogantly thought I would read up over the weekend and on Monday get it going. That was not the case to say the least. Docker Swarm was much simpler and I eventually went with that. The solution worked well but my lack of deep understanding put some restraints on what I could do, not to mention that Docker Swarm, while being a solid solution did not have the incredible fine tuning capabilities that Kubernetes has.Since then it has been all Kubernetes and S3 never far behind. It got to the point where I simply had to defect to the S3 compatible side of the force completely 😁. So what was your journey, what are you using. What

Veeam ONE only License !

Hi Everyone,I am wondering if there is a license for Veeam ONE only (not VUL for Data Platform Advanced) as this license can be used to monitor the Virtual Infrastructure workloads that are not protected by VBR as the VUL is for 10 instances which is covered the backup instances and VONE monitoring for them but what I want to achieve is monitoring the others in the virtual environment, is that possible ? as I read in Veeam Licenses documents but still confused.Appreciate your cooperation

12.1 Malware Detection

I love this feature but with the thousands of file types I have I get a ton of false positives.Is there anyway to customize this “per server” with each file type? or disable for some servers/folders etc?When I mark a job as clean, it seems to find the files on the next job. I thought that it should assume those files to be ok going forward.

Veeam Windows backup slowing computer with NVMe/SSD

I have a backup job for my desktop computer that has 3 SSDs, with the C drive being an NVMe drive. Once the job begins, NVMe usage jumps to 100% and response time also jumps to the 1000s of milliseconds. I have IO throttling enabled in settings but that doesn’t help. Basically makes the computer unusable while a backup is running because the computer is sluggish and stutters constantly.

Veeam Windows Agent Restore Confusion

This is probably a relatively complicated one, but also not a critical issue for us as there’s sufficient workarounds. Not something I want to go through the trouble of a support ticket with at this time. Hoping a community member can make the seemingly complicated uncomplicated. Veeam 12.1. We have a number of systems in our environment that we use the Veeam Agent for Windows to back up. We are primarily on Nutanix AHV for our virtualization. The backups seem to work just fine. When doing some recent restore testing, we noticed something. The goal of the restore testing was to test restoring these agent backups to our Nutanix AHV cluster. When using “Restore entire VM to Nutanix AHV...” option, during the wizard when I get to the storage container page, it shows the computer, but with no disks. What I then found was that this “no disk” symptom also occurs if I use the “Instant Recovery to Nutanix AHV”, but it actually gives an error message of “The following machines have no disks, us

What would you consider a "standard" / recommended retention policy? (see poll)

I know the answer is really “it depends”, but if customer says “what would you recommend” ..as they tend to do, what would be your go-to recommendation. Feel free to offer other options.

Significant increase in incremental backup size (Microsoft 365)

As of the 27th March we have seen a significant increase in incremental backup size for our Microsoft 365 backup… Peaking at 800GB+ on the 31st! We have different jobs configured for different sources, for example we have separate jobs for:User Mailboxes Shared Mailboxes SharePoint Sites OneDrive SitesLooking at the size of each backup job, I think the increase in backup size is primarily due to the user mailbox jobs; the other jobs look ‘normal’ in terms of their size. Is anyone else seeing a sudden increase in backup size in the last couple of weeks?  Does anyone have any tips for pinpointing where the increase is coming from?
