Friday Musings before a long weekend. What does IT community mean for you?

Hi Everyone, I generally wake up in a good mood on Friday. Full of energy and ready to end the week and transfer myself in to relaxation mode. During these “feel good” moments I often find myself wondering about the “bigger” questions of life.This morning first thing I watched the weekly Veeam recap with @Madi.Cristil @MicoolPaul and @coolsport00 (notice both of the latter have “cool” in their usernames.. coincidence? I think not 😀). That got me thinking about the Veeam community and IT communities in general. I remembered what life was like before joining all of these great groups and came to the realisation that my IT communities, and especially the Veeam community, have become a very important part of my life. This has gone beyond the simple need for a technical source of information. IT community has added an enormous positive ingredient into my world. I now have friends and acquaintances that span the globe. Many I have never met in person and yet it feels as if they are like goo

[Quicktip] Agent Backup Error

Just had to troubleshoot a not-working Agent backup job. Up to now, everything worked fine. Since last night, job fails. Error shown: [Task failed. Error: Failed to connect to servername:11731]Even in logs this error is shown: The problem seems to be communication with port 11731. This port is used for agent-deployment. No changes were made to the firewalls in this particular environment. So this could not be the cause of the problem.After a short phone call it turned out that the account used to communicate with the agent had been added to the Protected Users Security Group. But this group is not intended for adding service accounts. After removing the user, backup worked fine again.I hope this post saves some time in troubleshooting

Ransomware Detection - Entropy with Machine Learning and AI

Hi! In this post, I describe some aspects of the analysis of entropy analysis associated with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques aimed at detecting Ransomware.This is an exciting topic. As announced in VeeamON 2023, Veeam is working to improve the VDP´s ransomware detection capabilities with AI/ML to perform an in-line entropy analysis of the data stream on backup proxies to detect previously unencrypted data becoming encrypted.It can undoubtedly be another powerful tool in the battle against ransomware.Ransomware Detection: Entropy with Machine Learning and AI – Cloud and Roll (cloudnroll.com)

Introducing a Veeam Backup & Replication Log Anonymization Script

Hello Veeam Community! I'm excited to introduce a Python script that I've developed for anonymizing Veeam Backup & Replication logs. Protecting sensitive information in log files is crucial, and this script simplifies the process while maintaining the integrity of your logs. Veeam Log Anonymizer logo Acknowledgments:Before diving into the details, I'd like to express my gratitude:Bertrand: Thank you for the original idea that inspired this script and for your valuable improvement suggestions. Your input was instrumental in making this script more robust and feature-rich. Eric: A big thank you for your unwavering support and encouragement throughout the development process. Your feedback and insights helped shape this tool. Disclaimer:I want to clarify that I'm not a developer by profession, but rather a member of the Veeam community who saw the need for a tool like this. The script has been created out of a passion for data privacy and a desire to contribute to our community.Key Fe

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Licensing on disabled Jobs.

Hi, I created new jobs to organize Exchange groups and Teams groups since my company was previosly configured to backup the whole organization, Now that the backup is set up and backing up for about a month is time to disable the original job, if I disable and delete the job, would that release the previously used licenses for any aditional user that is not on the new jobs ? Thanks in advance.

[What (else) is new in v12 - IV] Best Practice Analyzer

Also new in v12 is the Best Practice Analyzer in VBR console.  In Beta2 there are 6 tests divided into two categories: Security settings and product configuration. The individual points are self-explanatory.  I hope that more and more tests will be added to this feature in next versions.

Checking for ransomware encrypted files?

Hi VEEAMers! Finishing deployment of our VEEAM environment with Virtual Lab/Surebackups and found built-in check are pretty basic and pretty much only checking if VM is listening on particular port after restore. It definitely helps to make sure the serve is not corrupted and functional but not giving any validation against if it was hit by ransomeware or not. What does (from my point of view) is if where will be built-in checks if particular file (most commonlt encrypted by ransomeware, VEEAM probably knows better - but I’d do .doc, .pdf, .7z, etc ) can be successfully open. Any improvements in that area in upcoming 12.1?Or maybe I am wrong and someone can point me out to the fact it has been already done and I just don’t know how to do it?Cheers,Alex.

Feature request - job activity 'follow latest'

Hello,Feature request for ‘Veeam Backup and Replication’ client. When viewing/selecting an active job provide the option to ‘Follow’ most recent activity. This is helpful if you have a job active with many objects in the job from a visibility perspective.Currently, if you have a job with 20 objects being backed up and you select an object in progress, when the object completes the viewed object stays displayed instead of following to the subsequent active object being backed up.  Thanks

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

SQL log-shipping, but only on certain days - find out how

In a customer project I just stumbled across the requirement to do SQL log-shipping with VMs. A simple task, I thought at first. But this time the request included a so-called division by zero - at least from a VBR perspective. With VBR (at least until V12), it is not possible to restrict log-shipping to certain days of the week. You can only set the overall frequency of log backups: Microsoft SQL Server Transaction Log Settings - User Guide for VMware vSphere (veeam.com)You can set a schedule for image-level backups of course. But in between, log backups are performed continuously as defined by the above setting.It came in very handy that @SteveHeart recently published another script that can determine which VBR backup job a PS script was started out of. The code in mention to actually determine the process ID of the VBR job above goes back to @tsightler. So the script can be used flexibly as you don’t have to hard code job names etc. So I “borrowed” this code and enriched it with tog
