Question about reports

I’m looking at my Veeam B&R and all of my VMs show backed up and they even show restore points. You can see from the attached pic that my VM has 10 restore points. I’ve even done a restore from one of the restore points and it is in fact the VM from 5 days ago. Now, in Veeam ONE, when I look at my protected VMs report, I see zero VMs as protected no matter what time frame I select. My “other” reports that I run look accurate, but my protected VM report literally shows all of my VMs as unprotected, meaning no backups or no restore points for the RPO. It sure seems like I’m missing something. Only just now looking at reporting so hoping for some guidance here. Thank you

WASABI S3 Storage - Canadian Region Now!

I am not sure how many of you use or have looked in to Wasabi S3 storage that are in Canada but they have now got a region within Toronto that can be used for their storage offerings. I use this in my homelab to send my Veeam backups to and will now work to migrate from the US-East region to Canada. Great expansion for Wasabi and offering to Canadians now. What are the service URLs for Wasabi's different storage regions? – Wasabi Knowledge Base (zendesk.com)

V.E.E.A.M. : What does it mean - where it stands for ?

Hi all,We all love VEEAM .But why is it called like that?Originally Ratmir Timashev and Andrei Baronov founded Veeam in 2006.They called their company from the phonetic pronunciation of the letters VM (stands for Virtual Machine)!In the meanwhile everybody knows that the company is owned by US Insight Partners and has it’s headquarters in Baar (Switzerland) and in Columbus, Ohio (US). I think that this is too simple, the name V.E.E.A.M. stands for much more... VVirtual Machines / Virtualization. Yes correct, it all started at the beginning with monitoring and reporting for a virtual infrastructure.Virtual machines and virtualization is probably still the most used asset with the veeam products.Versatile. It’s more than clear that Veeam tries to have a solution for every demand, so it has definitely versatile products.Vision. Veeam has a great vision : To be the most trusted provider of Backup solutions that deliver Cloud Data Management! EEliminate Data Loss. VBR brings balance to you

Customer don't want encryption enabled

Good morning Community!I’ve a question to you folks, based on a true story.Do you often have not enterpries customers that ask you to NOT enable backups encryption to avoid having to manage “keys” in case of recovery need?And if so, how do you handle it at the security level?Having them not encrypted need to make backup repositories super strong and access notifications enabled.But. Other than that?Do you guys have any other tips to share?

how 2 restore sql server (vm) and rollforward db to the latest state

Hi everybody, I just asked my self the question: ‘what will I do when I need to restore my SQL-server-VM and do need to rollforward to the latest state of the database’. Assume you have a vm with a SQL-server. You’re backing up this vm every 5 hours and you have configured a transaction log backup every minute. Now something bad happens inside your vm and you know you have to restore the vm from a restore point the day before - say you cannot access the product vm anymore to keep it simple. Whatever you do (IR, CDP replica, normal replica), your vm runs but the database contains old data, you need to rollforward to the latest backed up transactions. If you just restore you vm with the networks connected, some applications might access the database and would probably insert data - that would be a huge mess. So you’d disconnect the networks, probably login to your vm to delete the database, then connect your networks. Then you could run the instant database recovery added in v11 (I lov

Fun Friday: What year did you first use Veeam?

Hey! Sorry it’s late in the day but happy Friday! Today’s Fun Friday question is. What year did you first use Veeam? Bonus points if you can remember what you were using it with! For me it was 2013, I’d just gone to another company that was using Veeam + VMware and I immediately felt like this was the first truly user friendly backup solution. It was really intuitive and actually saved me during my first ever ransomware battle later that year! (Thanks to rotated USB disks!)

One year of Community Hub – What does that mean to you?

I wanted to ask this question earlier, sorry . We celebrated the first year of our community. I wonder what means this community to you? What drives you to add content, write comments or just read what’s published?I start with it: When I first read about this new Community Hub, I though this would be just another community platform, like many others. But I registered and began to add posts. And of course I learned a lot from other posts. Because it seemed to be normal in here, I also added lot of comments and questions to posts. For me the start of the Hub was at the perfect time. Subconsciously I was searching for a new focus topic. I did a lot of Veeam stuff before but rather incidentally. With the Hub the theme slipped into the center. What keeps me motivated is mainly the great feedback! At my own blog I just see the number of views as in indicator how popular a post is. Here I get great feedback from peers. That means a lot to me! It is also awesome to see how @Kseniya and @Rick

Veeam Remote SQL Database Restore as SQL Agent job

I have several SQL jobs that currently perform nightly (or weekly) restores of a production database on other servers. Since we have now migrated to the Veeam Backup and Replication solution, I am trying to accomplish these same tasks within the Veeam environment. (BTW, we are on Veeam version 11.) I set up the Veeam PowerShell environment as described here https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/powershell/getting_started.html?ver=110#remote and wrote a script to perform a database restore (see attached).I ran the script interactively within a PowerShell session and it completed successfully. I ran it again as a Windows Scheduled Task and it worked. However, I can’t get it to run as a SQL Server Agent job. Here’s the error message that I’m receiving:The term 'Start-VESQLRestoreSession' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.Sinc

[What (else) is new in v12 - V] gMSA support

With v12 it will be supported to use group Managed Service Account (gMSA) for user credentials.For my understanding of gMSA it will be necessary to have VBR server in a domain. Because it will still not be recommended to join this server the production domain, a special resource or management domain could be needed. For more details we will have to wait for general availability to get the user guide.If you have more ideas about gMSA implementation, let us know 😀

Happy Friday everyone!Today I'd like to see what you're all talking & reading about.I'm talking blogs, podcasts, vodcasts etc.Have you got a blog that you're actively writing in? Share it below! Got a blog/podcast/vodcast that you read the moment anything new is released?
