Oracle / SAP Sizing - Veeam Plugin for SAP and Oracle

 This blog provides the sizing calculations for the Veeam Plugin used with Oracle and SAP. It outlines the resource requirements on the Source Server, Veeam Repository Server, and Veeam Backup Server.Source Server Specifications:Resource Utilization per Channel:Each channel consumes 1 CPU and 200 MB of RAM.Calculation:# of Channels = CPU cores required.200 MB * Number of Channels = Total Memory Required.Veeam Repository Server Specifications:Resource Utilization:Every 5 channels require 1 CPU core and 1 GB of RAM.Veeam Backup Server Specifications:Resource Requirement:For every 1 million backup files, the server requires 15 GB of RAM.Dependency:The requirement is based on the number of backup files generated by Oracle and SAP. Example Calculation: Oracle Server Configuration: 12 Channels = 12 CPU Cores 200 MB * 12 = 2400 MB Memory Veeam Repository Server: 12 Channels / 5 = 2.4 CPU Cores 2.4 GB Memory Data Transfer Speed: Channel Capacity: Each channel transfers 120 – 150 MB/s, app

Veeam Insights For Microsoft 365 - Free tool

 Hi! I was studying more details about Veeam's Backup as a Service (Baas) service, the Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, and I noticed that Veeam provides, free of charge, a tool that performs a quick assessment in the Microsoft 365 environment and presents information and insights. The tool's name is Veeam Insights for Microsoft 365.The tool can consolidate the number of active and inactive licenses, which allows you to save money by directing inactive licenses to other employees or simply reducing the contracted quantity. Additionally, it provides visibility into overall storage levels, including the number of files in use on OneDrive and Sharepoint, and shows which users are consuming the most storage.It also presents an Outlook activity graph showing the number of messages sent and received. The period for this information can be customized.The best part? If you're not performing the backup, you can easily onboard Microsoft 365 with a click on the Veeam Data Cloud. The process is desig

Veeam UI Capacity Labels

Hello. The question concerns the display of repository capacity in the Veeam user interface:In the EMC DD console, the capacity is displayed in TiB and is equal to 166.7 TiB. In the Veeam UI, after adding EMC DD as a repository, the same capacity is displayed, but with the TB label.If the size of repository is displayed in TB, then it should be approximately 182.5 TB.Is this a Veeam UI error?

Restore Exchange Mailbox Items from Storage Snapshot

Using Veeam to orchestrate storage snapshots is a fast, reliable way to have frequent restore points and quick restores.  Unfortunately, unlike a VMware backup, storage snapshots on databases are not application aware.  Restoring application items from a storage snapshot will often give you a blank explorer window. The first thing you will want to do is restore from the storage snapshot, and select a Host to mount the SAN volume on  With the explorer up it will look empty, but the volumes will be mounted to your PC.Click Add Store, or right click All Stores and Add a Mailbox Database   Next, we will point the explorer to the specific Exchange mailbox database.   If you go to C:\VeeamFLR\*VMname* you can see Volumes listed as folders there that are the mount points to the disks. This should mirror the folder structure on your Exchange server. In this specific situation here is what it looked like.  Depending on your disk configuration and folder structure the volume, VM name, and folder

AI generated tutorial, complete and utter fail! Veeam keep your trainers!! :)

Hi Folks, I was just forced to watch for the first time an AI generated tutorial/presentation. This was not Veeam training but I decided to send out this feedback just in case anyone at Veeam is thinking about jumping on this bandwagon.All of this hype about Chat/AI etc crashed miserably in my eyes after watching this content. The AI generated lady doing the tutorial had less personality and sincerity than RD2 in Star wars (reminder RD2 could only beep and not speak). The phoney AI generated smile would have been better placed in the film Aliens on the monsters that emerged from people’s stomachs.Then there were the pronunciation errors. Living in Toronto I hear all sorts of different pronunciations in English but they normally add some spice to the discussion. Italian, French, Chinese etc native speakers all have different pronunciations and if anything they add flavour to the conversation. Machine AI however is horrendous. It will go along for a bit perfectly but then blurt out somet

VM backup Failure to StoreOnce

Hi Team, My customer has a setup for StoreOnce (3660 with Firmware 4.3.7) and Veeam (12) configured with Veeam Standard license.Scenario 1:Customer tried to take a VM backup to one of a catalyst store which failed due to licensing issue in the logs. However, I did not get any documentation mentioning Veeam standard edition doesn’t support catalyst stores. As per Catalyst store configuration I double checked and its as per HPE standards.Error: “Backup to HPE StoreOnce Catalyst requires valid enterprise edition of Veeam Backup and replication.” Scenario 2:Customer tried to back up the same test VM on StoreOnce NAS share and that passed successfully. Resolution:Could you share me any documentation which says the Veeam standard edition does not support StoreOnce catalyst store? Are there any changes in Veeam that needs to be done to support the above Below are the backup logs captured?

Data Backup Basics VIII: Data Classification - A Crucial Pillar in Effective Backup and Recovery Strategies

In today's data-driven landscape, where information reigns supreme, safeguarding data against potential threats and ensuring its swift recovery in the event of an unforeseen disaster is paramount. Among the array of strategies that bolster robust backup and recovery protocols, data classification stands out as a foundational element that often dictates the efficacy of these practices. Understanding Data ClassificationAt its core, data classification involves the systematic categorization of information based on its sensitivity, value, and criticality to an organization. This process assigns labels or tags to data sets, enabling businesses to prioritize their protection efforts, allocate resources efficiently, and adhere to regulatory compliance requirements. Classification typically involves labeling data as public, internal-only, confidential, or highly sensitive, among other classifications, based on predefined criteria. Strengthening Backup ProceduresData classification forms the be

Multiple VMs with same OS

Hello to all,As I configure a testing Job with Multiple VMs with the same OS, I can see that there is no difference in the deduplication rate in Report when I run the VM itself alone or in the Group.One more point to ask:The VMs in the Backup Copy Job are all started at the same time when the job starts.Is this how it should be or they need to be run one at a time?

Did you know you’re 30 minutes away from Orchestrated Disaster Recovery?

Did you know you’re 30 minutes away from Orchestrated DR at any given moment?Veeam Availability Orchestrator takes just 20 minutes to configure, and it takes less than 10 minutes to create an Orchestration Plan, what we call your your fully documented and automated DR plan.Don’t believe me?  I have proof!  Those videos cover everything you need to get started after you have installed VAO, and run through the initial configuration wizard, which couldn’t be simpler.Here’s a few more tips I’ve discovered along the way and am sharing:Install the VAO agent on all of your Veeam Backup & Replication servers.  Once you install the agent, VAO understands the jobs you already have configured, and can orchestrate their recovery.  Simple! If you use NetApp storage, be sure to have your SnapMirrors configured ahead of time if they aren’t already.  Once you add your storage systems, you guessed it, VAO understands the relationships you have and can orchestrate their recovery! vSphere Tags make t

Replication window did not finish

Hi All,I have a question about completing replication jobs if the replication windows exceeds.  For the initial replication, Veeam will transfer the base full size of the replicated VM. Let's suppose it's a huge size VM and initial replication did not finish in the repli action window.When the next schedule run, will Veeam start transferring from the beginning for the initial full or incremental replica that does not finish, or it will continue from the stopped point abd replication does not take another time and size? I have read about (resume disconnect) but need to make sure from the experts? https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/replica_resume_disconnect.html?ver=110Let's suppose the replication window from(17:00-23:30) only. Thanks

migrating backups to new object storage bucket

Hello Veeam community!I have been trying to determine best approach for a backup migration from one object storage bucket to another and need some help.  My customer has a large amount of data in the 100’s of TB’s of backups and a bucket copy will take 30 days which is too long.  They also don’t have the space to pull it all back down locally to copy to the new bucket so that option won't work.  I am going to have them setup a new capacity tier in SOBR and start new jobs going to the new bucket.  But the issue is the old backups on the old bucket are left orphaned.  i need to move some but not all of the backups due to retention policy.  I was trying to determine which backup objects are related to which backup jobs but can’t determine backup_id via powershell.  my thinking is this would allow me to “grab” the backups that need to be moved to the new bucket.  Does anyone have a helpful tip on how to get this accomplished?  Thank you!

Schools backup and restore

Ive been playing around with Veeam the last day or so and not having much luck.  we have 2 servers running 2016 with RDX backup drives. I have installed community addition on one im using as a test server, the other one is in production running AD, DHCP, DNS etc.  We also have a small NAs we can locate in a seperate building to give us ofsite backups/copies.So far non of the backups have worked, seems to fail on a rescan needed.Maybe I should be using agents and not community ?  Just about all the help/instructions go into VM and more complex stuff than we need. I have only ever had to recover files twice and server once in the 15 years Ive been supporting them but its enough to know that next time I want it to be a lot easier and have backups configured so we have fairly up to date data.  Weekly would do at a pinch.  So yes critical that we have it but no ones going to lose much and its a balance with costs of loss and cost of implementattion.  Sorry for going on.Any suggestions as to
