Backup across separate networks/domains

The company I work for has recently taken over another, with each having its own network, domain & Veeam B&R setup. One side (A) is mostly broken from the backup side with B&R installed on an ancient server and the repository using the same storage as VMs which has quickly filled up. A & B live in the same data center, connected through their own firewalls. My first thought to fix this mess is to remove the broken B&R completely from A (remove from hosts etc) and use the working sides (B) B&R, utilising a Veeam proxy installed in A. Any thoughts or suggestions? Would the firewall only need to be opened between B&R in B and proxy in A?

Bare-metal restore from agent backup managed by VBR fail

Hello all,I’m trying to validate bare-metal recovery of a physical Windows 2019 server.It is backed up by an Agent job in my VBR server (v11a, latest patch), with the agent installed on the host in version 5.0.3.4708. Backup works fine, file-level restore from VBR in the Windows system too.I wanted to test the “worst case scenario”, so I copied the backup files on a USB drive, created recovery media from VBR, and tried to restore on a different server (different hardware). Boot media works, but when choosing backup file, I am blocked d by the message :“Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is unable to open backup files created by Veeam Backup & Replication”It looks like the post below, but as everything was recently installed and up to date, I dont know …Am I missing something obvious ?Any help would be really appreciated.Regards.

V12 upgrade failure

Hello, We’ve tried upgrading our VBR/EM from V11 to V12 GA today. EM upgrade goes fine, but:VBR upgrade issues a warning at the beginning, requesting to… upgrade EM, although it’s already in V12 and operational. It’s just a warning though and we can continue the upgrade The upgrade then fails in the 1st step with an error “TFS354792” about a database patch missing. We also tried to completely uninstall/reinstall VBR but the installation fails at the same step with the same errorI’ve seen kb4204, but I don’t get why it fails for a completely standard upgrade from the latest level of V11 ( 11.0.1.1261 P20220302 )?We had a couple of “private” fixes installed after P20220302 for various issues with cdp, could it be related?

Migrating VBR to PostgreSQL [Part 1]

Part 1 of the small series is about to install a PostgreSQL server on a Debian system.Ok let’s start. Step 1 Install the postgres package with the package manager of the distribution.You have to have PostgreSQL at least in version 14! Because this is a Debian system I had to enable the official repos from PostgreSQL:root@postgres:~# echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/postgres.listroot@postgres:~# wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add - I normally use aptitude, but you can for sure use apt-get as well.root@postgres:~# aptitude updateroot@postgres:~# aptitude install postgresql Step 2 To enable PostgreSQL to use encrypted passwords we have to uncomment the password_encryption option in the configuration fileroot@postgres:~# vi /etc/postgresql/15/main/postgresql.confpassword_encryption = scram-sha-256 # md5 or scram-sha-256and restart the PostgreSQL serv

Securing your backups and demonstrating compliance with Continuity

Customers in regulated industries like finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and energy are required to validate their compliance with regulatory standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, various ISO standards, and others. Compliance is a difficult problem area. Data must be gathered from across the organization and compiled into standardized reports and submitted to the regulatory body. Then, for any gaps identified, remediation actions must be defined and progress to rectify the gaps must be demonstrated. Lastly, compliance is an ongoing process that must be followed and enforced by policy wherever possible to avoid fines and penalties that could result from an audit failure. Additionally, many organizations applying for cybersecurity insurance face an increasingly complex list of requirements, so the problem field has potential to grow into non-regulated sectors. In summary: compliance is enormously time-consuming, difficult, and the stakes are high.Continuity Software's StorageGuard is

Upgrade Veeam Cloud Connect to V12

Hi @Rick Vanover already created an awesome upgrade center for V12 (V12 Upgrade Center | Veeam Community Resource Hub) but I just wanted to add a bit more about upgrading to V12 especially for Veeam Cloud Connect at the service providers. As you all know, the GA edition of V12 was available since the 14th of February.As a service provider it was already possible to install the RTM edition of V12 2 weeks before on the 30th of January.That is a normal behaviour because all Veeam customers using a service provider should wait upgrading until the service provider has upgraded their infrastructure to the new major version.Why? The upgrade is breaking, it will not work until the service provider has performed the upgrade!Therefore the service provider should always be the first and afterwards it’s time for upgrading the Veeam environment of the customers.As being a service provider for VCC BaaS I decided to not install the RTM edition, but wait until the GA edition was available.Why?

[Veeam ONE v12] Enhanced Security, and Audit visibility using Grafana

Veeam ONE v12 has been launched, and it is massive! Among so many other great features, I would like to extend today and focus on this particular new security feature, Auditing, as per the What’s New:When I saw that functionality, I was already so excited to see what level of audit we would have.How to enable Veeam ONE v12 Auditing?It is really easy under the Server Settings, you will find the section called Auditing, then mark what is most relevant for you. I would mark all of them:After we enable them, we can quickly go to our traditional Microsoft Windows Events Log, and we will find a new section called Veeam ONE. Inside this category, we can find different events, with event category, etc.:If you explore a bit more, you could filter by Event ID, so as a quick example:Event ID: 10006 - These are authentication anomalies, meaning wrong user/password. Event ID: 2 - These are usually Veeam ONE Settings changes, like a new password added, a new report saved/created, etc. Event ID: 3 -

Underrated powerful features in Veeam Backup & Replication

I know that a lot of new features will be implemented and possible to use in the next major release of Veeam Backup & Replication, but we may not forget that are already a lot of features in the current and previous versions of the Veeam flagship!In this post I just want to hightlight some powerful features in Veeam Backup & Replication.Those features are in my opinion a bit unterrated and hidden, but I use them often in my job as being a backup engineer, consultant and architect.Quick BackupWhat does it do : It lets you perform an on-demand incremental backup for one or more VMs.I just takes an extra restore point for the selected VM. When to use : I use this often when I will make drastic changes on a VM like upgrading the application running in the VM, installing Windows updates or/and other updates in this VM, ...Often people take a snapshot before - I uses instead mostly a Veeam Quick Backup.Why? In this way I can never forget to delete the taken snapshot which is not reco

Veeam Certified Architect (VMCA) 2022 - course and exam experience

I finished my VMCA journey this week and passed the exam 😎🎉🎉🎉.So, I would like to write down some of my experiences and difficulties on this trip for others. 1. What is the VMCA? The Veeam certified Architect (VMCA) is the second and highest Veeam certification after the Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE).The VMCA is all about developing a backup solution and understanding the "Veeam Architecture Methodology", whereas the VMCE is more concentrated on technical aspects. 2. The courseThe "Veeam Architecture Method" is the overarching theme of the course.It refers to the steps a Veeam Architect takes when creating a Veeam backup solution:Discovery - conceptual design - logical design - physical design - implementation and governance - validation and iteration. You will gain knowledge of how to:identify all stakeholders, capture the current environment, requirements, and risks - and analyze them by applying best practices. make the right requests to the correct persons to extract needed i

VMCA2022 training review

This week I was able to attend to a Veeam VMCA training (Veeam Backup & Replication V11: Architecture and Design) held by @poulpreben.VMCA IntroductionSome words on the VMCA: The VMCA is the Veeam Certificied Architect, the second and highest Veeam certification after the VMCE. While the VMCE is more focused on technical topics, the VMCA is all about designing the backup solution and learning the "Veeam Architecture Methodology".We already have great posts about the VMCA, both the course and the exam, here in the community, so I'll won't go too deep and link to the corresponding posts:VMCA2022 anouncment from @MicoolPaul:VMCA2022 review from @Chris.Childerhose:VMCA2022 EXAM review from @Michael Melter : VMCA CourseDirectly from the beginning of the course, we could notice how different this training is going to be compared to others.Preben explained to us, that there's no lab part and that we won't work with a Veeam console.

Network path not found

I have 3 issues that I cannot resolve nor find answers to.I’m running the Windows Community Edition V5.0.0.4708 on two Windows machines. One is Windows 10 22H2 and the other is Windows 11 21H2. These two machines are being backed up to a file share on my TrueNAS server.The first issue is that from time to time the backup fails with the following error message: “Error: The network path was not found. Failed to get free space on disk '\\xxx.yyy.zzz.nnn\Clients' --tr:Error code: 0x00000035 … The network path was not found”. I configured the back to use either host name or IP address as the backup target, but it seems to make no difference. This happens on both machines.I thought that it might be a timing issue that when the computer wakes up to do the backup, the backup starts before the computer has established a network connection. On the Windows 10 machine, using the BIOS I able to create a wake up event approximately 2 minutes before the Veeam agent started. This lessened the i

Veeam V12 upgrade

Actually I have tried to install v12 RTM as a in-place upgrade on 4 customer servers now and all fail.Veeam support has been on remote session and we will continue the work tomorrow since it also failed at last attempt after hours of troubleshooting. Would be interesting to hear if there is anyone else who has been issues with the upgrade? The servers I have tested has the latest v11 build and server 2016. Very simple deployments with few config settings so no big issue. But so far I am a bit concerned to start upgrading larger deployments.

Deletion of old backup copies after removing individual computer/deleting or disabling the backup job - Agent managed

Hi All,Currently we are using Agent managed backup jobs. When we perform the decommission of backup jobs/remove a computer/workstation from backup job/rotation, we have to keep track of the retention of deleted computer/job manually and to remove the backup copies from ‘Disk(Orphaned)’/’Disk(Imported)’ . We have also enabled the ‘Remove deleted items data after’ parameter. But still we could see some scenarios were we want to delete the backup copies manually. My expectation is Veeam to delete the backup copies automatically once it crosses the set retention (even after the job/computer is removed from backup rotation). Is there a way to achieve it?

Weird issue with Exchange restores.

I have found a weird issue that is pretty specific. My co-worker opened a ticket with Veeam, but eventually closed it with no solution. We found a work around so it’s not really a problem. Here is the issue. We have a VMware Horizon Agent installed on our PC’s. This allows us the abilities to remote to them, using the horizon client, UAG, MFA, etc. Even using a BYOD. This all works great. HOWEVER, we noticed an issue that exchange restores have been bluescreening our computers lately. Multiple PC’s, different types, different accounts and so on. After a LOT of troubleshooting, we found out it only happened when the Horizon Agent was installed. We took it further, to only when the Horizon Agent is installed, and USB redirection is enabled. We disabled that feature which is our work around as we didn't need it. I was wondering if anyone uses Horizon, has an agent on their workstation, have USB redirection enabled, and recover mailbox items from exchange. It’s quite specific, but make s

Azure, Amazons and then Wasabi..?

We have been using Amazon S3 with immutability for years and its been working great at every restore, both in test and in production. But I must admit I have been waiting a long time for the Microsoft Azure Immutability to be in place and now with V12 it seems be at rest, at last! :) It will make it more streamlined since we can buy/subscribe the Azure Plan at our NCE/CSP-distributor at it will automatically fall under the customers name which then again will be in place on the monthylt bill. Great! But then I just started to read about Wasabi which really seems like an affordable solution, and even at much better pricing than Amazon/Azure.. How is that even possible..? With the V12 they have also appeared in the UI for the object storage and I guess they are know among the most interesting companies. I was wondering if anyone have any experience with Wasabi, and how you are comparing the offers/pricing from Azure, Amazon and Wasabi? As a Microsoft-shop we try to standardize as much we
