Step 1 - First of all, we enter a name for the Job.Step 2 - In this step, we can take a file backup at the Image level with Entire Computer, or a volume on the server with Volume level backup, or at the File level backup level.Step 3 - Since I chose file backup, I chose an empty file since it was a test.Step 4 - Since we will be backing up to Azure Blob Storage, we select Object storage and continue.Step 5 - Here you can find the Account and Shared key information on the Access Key on the Storage Account you created in the Azure Portal, as shown in the image below.

Root Cause Analysis with Veeam Bottleneck

Since we are Veeam Service Providers in the Cloud companies I work with, I have seen that people do not analyze with Bottleneck on Veeam while providing Cloud Connect service. They didn't even know it was happening. Here I briefly explained Veeam Bottleneck to you.Veeam Bottleneck is a tool included in Veeam Backup & Replication software. This tool helps optimize backup and recovery across virtual and physical environments. Bottleneck helps you complete backups faster and more efficiently by identifying bottlenecks in your backup infrastructure.What is a bottleneck?A bottleneck is when a component or process in a system reaches a point where it limits the performance of the entire system. This can cause slow backups, delays, or even failures when it comes to backup operations.How does Veeam Bottleneck work?Bottleneck monitors the usage of various resources such as CPU, RAM, network, and storage during backup operations.

Backup for M365 7a BUILD P20240418 - improvements

Hi all, just a small heads up for the latest patch P20240418 released on April 24th.This patch fixes several issues we’ve faced consuming the API via our management platform:On product builds 7.0.0.3604 and higher, processing REST API requests to retrieve the organization’s objects takes more time than expected. (GET) v7/Organizations/{organizationId}/Users (GET) /v7/Organizations/{organizationId}/Teams (GET) /v7/Organizations/{organizationId}/Sites, Export to .PST via the (POST) /v7/RestoreSessions/{restoreSessionId}/organization/exportToPst request takes more time compared to the save operation performed on the same mailbox backup data. If one of the requested repositories is in the Invalid state, the (GET) /v7/Organizations/{organizationId}/usedRepositories request mistakenly returns the same error for all repositories from the scope. But also other improvements and enhanchements are in this release.Worth upgrading !More info ? https://www.veeam.com/kb4533

Ensure Data Integrity of Your Backup Chains with Veeam Health Check!

What is Health Check?A health check is a planned process within a backup or backup copy job that helps ensure the data integrity of the backup chain. When Veeam Backup & Replication initiates a health check, it performs a CRC check for metadata and a hash check on VM data blocks.CRC Check stands for Cyclic Redundancy Check. It is an error detection algorithm used to check whether data is corrupted during transmission or storage. This algorithm calculates a CRC value from the sent data and adds this value to the end of the data. The receiving party calculates the same CRC value from the data it receives and compares it with the sent CRC value. If the two values match, it means the data is transferred or stored intact. Why Are Health Checks Important?Health checks are important to ensure data consistency in the event of a disaster. Computers can make mistakes. The more systems interact with each other, the greater the chance of errors occurring. When performing a backup, Veeam com

Veeam Backup for Office 365 – Backing up single OneDrive folders

This is going to be a quick post on how to backup a single OneDrive folder with Veeam Backup for Office 365.One of my customers developed an internal policy regarding the usage of OneDrive for Business.The policy is, that each user has a specific “Work” folder (root folder) which gets backed up with Veeam Backup for Office 365. All other folders are not backed up and the users do know that. So in this scenario we needed a OneDrive backup job, which backs up the whole organization with the OneDrive object and only includes that work folder.By the way, you are also able to exclude specific OneDrive folders by using the “-ExcludedOneDriveFolders” variable.However, in my case here it makes more sense to only include that specific folder.The scenarioI recreated that scenario with my own Office 365 Tenant, whereby I selected to only backup my webhosting folder. If you didn’t know it already, the ability to exclude or include specific folders for OneDrive backups is only available by using Po

RMAN Plugin Backup - ORA-01012 Error

Yesterday I got an error for two oracle databases which are backed up via the VEEAM RMAN plugin.Strange - there are several database instances on this system, all but the two are working fine. And these two had worked up to then, too…And… I did not change anything in the VEEAM and plugn configuraton After some discussion and research with our Oracle admin - bingo.He had moved these two databases to another Home directory and did not change the corresponding entries in the /etc/oratab. So - as shown in the picture - the backup of the database and the recovery logs worked, but the creation of the AUTOBACKUP failed and the ORA-01012 error was given.After the entries were corrected all worked fine again.Perhaps some of you will face similar issues, too. I did not find anything for this problemin the forums with a quick search.

Check reflink and spared space on XFS repositories

I wrote already a post about checking Microsoft ReFS space savings. Now I want to show some basics to check XFS savings too.To check space savings on repository layer go to the repository directory and run: ls -lhsYou can see the size of each file and the total size of all files. If there a way to much files, run ls -lhs | grep total Compare this to the size allocated on the volume. To show this, run df -h In this example you see space savings of: (86 - 35) = 51G Another way is the use the command xfs_bmap. It works on file-level and is very technical. I am still not sure to interpret all output correctly. At least it can show, reflink works!To show all extents of a file, this command can be used: xfs_bmap -e -l -p -v -v -v filename. Here also additional information like a legend is displayed.I made a small script to show the size of all shared extents of all *.vbk-files. But do not overstrain it, its experimental.#!/bin/bashfor f in *.vbkdo echo "File $f size of shared extends:" xf
