Is anybody here having problems with Tape Library control through Veeam lately? I have jobs that have run for years and that even survived the V12 update a couple of weeks ago, but have now started throwing a fit every time a tape needs to be loaded/unloaded/inventoried etc. Every error is a variation of the “Failed to call RPC function” message, but with different specifics: LoadMediumByScsi, GetElementsStatusesByScsi etc. This only started on Friday, and is puzzling because it only affects our Dell ML3 (LTO6/LTO8) interchanger, but not the Dell TL2000 (LTO6).  I have tried the usual update of Firmware (Drives and Libraries, SCSI Controllers etc) to no avail. Removing and recreating the Library made little difference either (it loaded a tape ONCE then returned to the errors).  Rebooted the Backup Server AND the Library.  Has anyone dealt with this successfully or am I looking at new incident?

Integrating Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure into Your Backup Environment and Deploying Azure Infrastructure​​​​  The first step is to download the Microsoft Azure Plug-in from my.veeam.com and deploy it to Veeam Backup & Replication.  After the deployment is complete, we need to select Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure on the Managed Servers side of the “Backup Infrastructure” Tab in Veeam B&R. This step asks if there is a Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure server on the Azure side. If there is, continue with the existing appliance, otherwise Deploy a new appliance is required. Azure account must be added in this step. To add our Azure account here, we first set the name that will appear on the Veeam side.  In this step, we specify the region where our Azure account is located.  Since we are doing this for the first time, we continue by saying Create a new account. Since no such integration has been done with our Azure account before, there is nothing registered.  We log in as a

I have been looking at some information within the Veeam documentation, but it could not move forward due to some errors according to images.

Hi folks, I continued my tests on the lab, and did a I wanted to share the results and thoughts with you.After the initial setup, and installing Tailscale on my Veeam V&R Server vm, I also installed on a client machine outside of my network (also internet connection, emulating a remote client).Tailscale has a Magic DNS service that, when the agent is installed, you can call the clients by their DNS names (or names configured at the Web console),So, I though, why don't I deploy a backup agent and connect it through the Tailscale VPN network?instead of opening ports, and mapping IP addresses, I give it a shot,I created a protection group and added the test client in the process, as you can see in the screenshots:the, with the agent deployed, I created a backup job to test it out.Now, let's trigger the backup, the fist one will be a FULL one, so I was anxious and “scared” at the same time:Fire in the hole!Backup has started and seems to be doing fine…and here it comes the magic, perfo

IntroductionIn the first of 4 blog posts of this [Migrate Veeam Infrastructure Off Production Domain series], we described the fundamental security reasons behind moving the Veeam infrastructure components OFF Production domain. In this blog post, we will provide step by step guidance for moving a Veeam Backup and Replication™ (VBR) infrastructure to Child Domain of the Production Domain. Disclaimer: This is not intended to be a complete Security Best practice reference, nor does it address every possible scenario. A Veeam Solutions Architect can be engaged as needed to assist with VBR Security Best Practices, especially with complex deployments.SetupThe scenario is comprised of the following servers:A Production Domain Controller / DNS server A Child Domain Controller server 2 ESX hosts and 1 vCenter Veeam Backup and Replication server (VBR) with local PostgreSQL database Veeam Enterprise Manager server (VBEM) with local PostgreSQL database Veeam Gateway server Veeam Mount server Veea

I often find it helpful to remind my partners about the full range of features Veeam offers, especially when speaking with the sales team. While everyone acknowledges that Veeam excels in backup, its capabilities extend far beyond that. To highlight the depth of Veeam's solution, I’ve put together a concise list that showcases its extensive features. Veeam is built for powering data resilience.Advanced Data Protection: Data Backup Backup and Replication: Provides reliable backup and replication of virtual, physical, and cloud environments, ensuring your data is safeguarded across various platforms. Backup Copy Jobs: Allows you to create additional copies of backups for enhanced data protection and offsite storage, ensuring redundancy in case of data loss. Multi-Platform Support: Provides backup solutions for virtual machines (VMware and Hyper-V), physical servers, and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and more), offering a unified approach to data protection. Cloud Integration: Offers

I’m sure I’m overlooking something obvious -- Veeam is running on a Windows 2022 server on the domain.When adding my non-domain Hyper-V host (Windows 2022) to the Veeam managed servers, the only credentials that work are hostname\administrator. Any other account on the Hyper-V host with full administrative rights is failing with --“Failed to connect to host XX.XX.XX.XXAccess denied or timeout expired.Check if you you have local administrator privileges on computer ‘XX.XX.XX.XX’.Possible reasons.1. Invalid credentials.2. Specified host is not a Hyper-V server.” I’d prefer to disable the .\administrator account on the Hyper-V host, so I’d love to know what I need to do to get my non .\administrator accounts working with Veeam. Thanks, Chris 

Hi, I have a backup copy job which runs forever. There are two VMs and I see the backup copy is backing up  the hard disk with no progress. How do I best troubleshoot it and I don’t see an option to cancel the job. I use VBR 12.1. I believe in earlier version it was possible to cancel a job. I use the immediate copy mode.Thanks,Edy

After doing a cold boot of the host server, the Veeam backup service has failed to run or come back online. When trying to connect through the client we receive the error message of “No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:9392”After checking the logs, we’ve found an error stating that it failed to fetch logical page (1:21805) in database 5 failed. It belongs to allocation unit 72057594191544320 not to 72057594190823424

Installed Debian Bookworm on BTRFS, backed up with Veeam agent for linux to network storage.Tried to restore from internal SATA to internal SATA, using full disk restore.Restore mentions a warning after completion, could not update UUID. Don't now the exact wording anymore.After booting the system boots to initramfs with the alert: UUID=xxxxxxx does not exist.It appears nothin that can't be fixed with a live CD but IMHO this should not be needed.Is this a bug, known issue or am I doing something wrong?

Like many kids, my daughter started high school this week. Throughout this summer, I’ve been preparing her for the changes that come with a bigger school, more demanding classes, and new extracurriculars. A couple weeks ago, we went back-to-school shopping then spent the afternoon glued to Olympics coverage. As we watched diving and dressage, we talked about the skills the athletes had to learn to compete at that level. We were as interested in how the athletes prepared as we were their performances. This got me thinking about how much time we humans spend preparing.Whether getting ready for school, an athletic competition, or countless other activities it seems like humans are always preparing for something. Proper preparation helps us succeed and achieve our goals. It also helps us plan for things to go wrong. The same is true when you make changes to your technology environment, such as installing Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure. Once installed, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure sec

Question for the service providers in the room. How do you handle customers who were VCC customers, but are looking to migrate their historic backup data from their VCC-B repo to elsewhere. No option to move between repos, and if we’re talking sufficient quantities of data, no practical way to download to local repo, before moving to new location (object for example).Thoughts? 

Hello, I have backup copy job to copy the bcckup to Azure File share. The VBR main repository using SMB and connection speed is 1Gbps. Connection from VBR to Azure file share via VPN site to site with 100Mbps internet bandwidth.What can i see is my internet utilization is still low, only about 20-30Mbps used. Is there any trick how to utilize the connection?

 The Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft SQL natively integrates with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. It transfers database and transaction logs to backup repositories associated with Veeam Backup & Replication.Compared to image-level backups created by Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam plug-ins can offer more flexible scenarios for database backup.This plug-in’s users can backup and restore individual Microsoft SQL Server databases and configure independent backup scheduling for full, differential, and log backups using the native SQL Agent Job functionality.Some highlights about the Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft SQL:SQL administrators have complete control over backup and recovery processes; User interface (UI) integrated directly into Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio; Scalability and performance: up to 2,000 databases per SQL server and up to 10,000 databases per backup server; Possibility to perform database backups without waiting for the image-based backup (backup of
