SQL Transaction log backup seems to be failing with "Failed to perform internal backup"

SQL Transaction log backup seems to be failing with "Failed to perform internal backup." We just did a big repair of one of our DBs. When I re-enable the backup job (with SQL transaction log backup), it started failing with the following error. Failed to perform internal backup (DBName): Code = 0x80040e31 Code meaning = IDispatch error #3121 Source = Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 Description = Query timeout expired COM error: Code: 0x80040e31 We can see data being moved as shown in the Report so is the Transaction Log backup really failing or it is just doing catch up with the large change? I’m sure if we run a full backup or possibly change the log backup interval to longer, this will resolve the error. Thanks.

S3-compatible object storage

Hello.The question is related to adding S3-compatible object storage. Company-developed proprietary BLOB stores in ceph have their own implementation of the S3 surface. When adding S3, you can select a bucket, but when you select folders inside the bucket or when creating a new STORAGEClass error, the storage class uses erasure code. The question is what storageclass does veeam12 use?! since it worked on version veeam 10.How can I see through the logs which storageclass is trying to connect to the storage?

Its time to move from Public folders to Microsoft 365 Groups

Over the last several years Microsoft has been moving into Microsoft 365 with their services. With this migration they have introduced many new features into the eco system to make day to day communication and processes smoother. In this same transition Microsoft has also moved to depreciate legacy technologies for newer features that are purpose built for the ecosystem and modern data communication. We are in the process of what is now the second depreciation cycle of legacy technologies in Microsoft 365. The first being when on-prem services did not make it to the cloud and now with the deprecation of legacy APIs on January 31, 2023. Its important to note that depreciated does not mean these services are nasally going to be shut off but further support by Microsoft and third-party access to these services will also be limited if at all. In this case, services in Microsoft 365 that did not make the cut, by Microsoft, to be coded into the Microsoft Graph API with modern APIs will no lo

FIX Unable to obtain IP address for help host ubuntu Linux server

Today, I tried to restore a file for the Linux server, it failed and the error message was “Unable to obtain IP address for host ‘ubuntu2310” I check the Log from Restore Session, it show “Failed to mount restore point. Unable to obtain IP addresses for host ubuntu2310” Check the DNS records and it looks good. Ping the host from the VBR Server and it looks good as well. Check the hostname from the Linux server to ensure the hostname. It has no issue. Why Unable to obtain the IP address for help host the ubuntu Linux server? I solved it and the steps are as follows. Run sudo apt update at the Linux Server. Run sudo apt-get install samba at the Linux server. Try to re-run restore steps from the VBR console and the error has gone.

Rescan operation fails when adding a server to a Protection Group in RHEL 6.6.

I am currently trying to backup 2 physical servers with Veeam.The target servers are running RHEL 6.6 (2.6.32-504.1.3.el6.x86_64).When I try to include them in a Protection Group to create a backup job, I am encountering an issue where one server succeeds and the other fails. In the Veeam Console UI, it shows up as failed with the message "The server has closed the connection." When checking the log related to the Rescan Task, the main error message is "Failed to upload package file from "D:\veeam\Backup\Packages\veeamdeployment-12.2.0.334-1.x86_64.rpm" to "/tmp/veeamdeployment-12.2.0.334-1.x86_64.rpm". Timeout: 10800 sec, mode: 644 (Veeam.Backup.Common.CRegeneratedTraceException)". It seems unrelated to the fact that the file upload to the server is not possible.This is because the situation is as follows: - Use root account when backing up Veeam- Veeam backup server and backup target server are located on the same network- SELinux and firewall are both disabled on the target server-

Feature Request: TIMED PAUSE Replication/Backup instead of DISABLE

Over the years we have encountered lots of situations where other engineers disable a job with the intention of returning later of after a day or so to enable the job, but this never happens. There are 100+ reasons to disable a job but lots of times, a job is disabled with the intention of enabling it shortly after. We just do not have the correct option to use. It would be nice if instead of disabling a job we had the option to PAUSE FOR 30m, 60m, 90m, 1day, 2days, 1week, custom length. -Mario PS. No need to expand on what happens when disaster hits and a job had been disabled weeks ago…

Bootable clone of a Windows OS

Is it possible using Veeam to create a bootable clone of a system disk to a second local drive? I don’t want to have to use recovery media to restore the OS. I have a server with two physical spinning disks that are not RAIDed (can’t rebuild the server to do this) so I want to create a bootable clone. There are numerous free tools out there, but as we already use Veeam I thought I’d find out if it can do this first. Thanks

Veeam validated Nutanix AOS v7.0 with VBR 12.3 and VBN AHV v7

Over the holidays our Veeam QA/DEV teams working at Veeam speed validated AOS 7.0. There is no new enhancements in this version for VBN AHV v7. It was requested by our joint customers. We are also validating AOS 6.8.1.6 which is TBD at the moment. The updated AOS is now reflected in our VBN AHV v7 user guide link below😀.

PostgreSQL credentials

Trying to upgrade Veeam from 12.0 to 12.1, and the original installer has left. How would we reset the credentials so we can perform the update? We thought our service account was used but apparently not. All attempts to update have failed so far. Part of the issue is most NASA accounts require PIV card authentication, and I don’t know if that plays well with a Veeam update. The service account is PIV exempt. The current version is pushing an old version of the kmod veeamsnap that won’t work with the current RH kernel. Why don’t we just rebuild the kmod in the fly every time a new kernel arrives like other kmods seem to work? Like CUDA for example.

Data Backup Basics XV: Backup Solution Disaster Preparedness

In today's digital landscape, ensuring the availability and integrity of your data during disasters is paramount. A robust disaster preparedness plan for your backup solutions is essential to safeguard against data loss and minimize downtime. This article will give an overview about best practices for disaster preparedness specific to backup solutions, including offsite backups, site-redundancy, and failover strategies. 1. Encryption Importance of Encryption: Encryption is essential for protecting your backup data from unauthorized access and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. Encrypted backups safeguard sensitive information even if the physical media or files are compromised. Best Practices: Data Encryption: Encrypt data both at rest and in transit. Use strong encryption algorithms such as AES-256 to secure your backups. Key Management: Implement robust key management practices. Store encryption keys separately from the encrypted data and use hardware security modu
