Changing CPU or Memory on a VMware VM with a scheduled task.

As always run it on a test VM while you are watching it, but this script will power down, modify the CPU and/or Memory on a VM, then power it back up.  This has been VERY handy for Changing resources on my VMs after hours. Like adding memory to a Veeam Virtual proxy server after a backup window ends.  While I borrowed most of the script from the internet, there wasn’t much about running as a scheduled task which was can cause confusion to many people from what I read.  Here is a few tips to run the PowerShell script as a scheduled task.  Step 1, Use the script below to create a PS1 file. I named mine VM_MEMORY_CPU_COUNT_HQ.PS1     Keep in mind the name and location when you add the arguments below.Step 2, Create a scheduled task in windows at specified time. Step 3, set action to run a program. You don’t want to run the script, you want to run Powershell.exeexample - C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe  Step 4, Configure the options\arguments. I put 0 if I want no

All I want for Christmas is LDAP!

This may be a head in the clouds idea/thought, but I really wish there were way (and there may be and I just don’t know about it) to link Veeam to Active Directory and stored domain credentials automatically get updated whenever a needed password gets changed or updated due to rotation policies. No more ‘RPC server unavailable’ errors!

VeeamOn Update Labwarz - How'd you do?

Apparently I knew all of the linux commands...and I’m not really a linux guru by any means but guessed well on a few of them.  Also didn’t realize that I can do malware scanning in a SureBackup job until now.... Scored a 39121 which I think is decent?  I see a bunch of folks scored higher, including @JonahMay.  How about the rest of y’all?https://labwarz.veeam.com/

Veeam SQL Database server local or External question.

I have used both. Internal SQL express, external SQL server, SQL server in an Always ON cluster replicated to our DR site. All 3 worked great, I have never noticed a difference in performance, and never hit the limits.Here are my questions about SQL and Veeam.Has anyone here ever hit the SQL Express limits?Has anyone here ever installed a full blown SQL instance on their Veeam server? Did this make much difference than an external SQL server?We have a DB admin, so using external is pretty easy for me, but I really have no clue when I'll outgrow SQL Express.  I suppose I can change it up in V12 as well with the new option.

Backup of M365 needed? Yes, it’s a no-brainer!

Nowadays a lot customers are using M365 and that’s a good choice!What are the most important components of this SaaS solution :Exchange online Sharepoint Online Teams Onedrive for Business Wow, instead of having your data on-premise we have it now in the public cloud!Is that a good idea?Yes, it’s running on a big high available infrastructure, always available and everywhere available whether we are at the office or at home.We are rid of upgrades – maintenance – security patches, just pay on a monthly base and Microsoft does the rest for us.True?Absolutely not !!!Hmm, what do we still have to do as a customer?Taking care of the backups of all your data in M365 !!!Is Microsoft not doing this for us, in our monthly fee?Not at all! That is one of the biggest misconceptions : Microsoft is not taking care of everything.In short : the customer is responsible for their own data in M365.Microsoft is not taking care of your data and is not taking backups and will never restore your data if need

unable to use database as it was created with an earlier version

Dear concern, we have one server where we had a previous version (9.5 U4b) of Veeam running for some tests on. However we’ve never really used it until now. That time veeam was removed from the system however it seems not completely. While trying to install version 11 on this particular server, we are now getting an error message, telling that usage of DB for VeeamBackup is not possible as it has been created with an older version of veeam. Indeed there are still two DB services running. What is the best way to get this clean as we will use this server to run as our B/R server in the future but of course on main latest. The goal is to have a clean installation of veeam 11 now in order to reduce future problems in case of any migration is necessary for a new version. thanks and best regards Stephan

M365 backups - transport

Hi, quick question. We are moving to M365 for email. Our Veeam infrastructure will remain on-premise. Per Veeam literature, says that I can backup my 365 mailboxes to any location, inclusive of on-premises. If we backup our 365 mbxs back down to our local infrastructure, will there be any egress bandwidth costs assessed by Microsoft? So if I have 1TB database now on-prem, and we move that to M365, for that very first backup, should I expect Microsoft to assess some bandwidth costs for that 1TB pull? Moreover, for any subsequent backups where presumably only deltas from the prior are processed, will I see transport costs there too?Thank you in advance.Cheers.

Using Linux VBR VMware proxies with a .local AD domain name

I am not sure if this has been posted somewhere before but I thought I would post my experience of setting up Linux proxies for our VMware backups and the one issue I ran into. I deployed a couple of Ubuntu 22.04 VMs, as I will be using hot-add for the VM backups. I added them to the VBR server and created a test backup of one VM. First backup attempt and I got this error:Error: Cannot get service content. Soap fault. Temporary failure in name resolution Detail: 'getaddrinfo failed in tcp_connect()', endpoint: 'https://vc.domain.local:443/sdk' SOAP connection is not available. Connection ID: [vc.domain.local]. Failed to create NFC download stream. NFC path: [nfc://conn:vc.domaint.local,nfchost:host-1310340,stg:datastore-1310378@TEST/TEST.vmx]. --tr:Unable to open source file [nfc://conn:vc.domain.local,nfchost:host-1310340,stg: So the key to the problem is “failure in name resolution”. Specifically name resolution from my new Linux proxies. I have run into this kind of problem before f

The Path to becoming and Legend or Vanguard can be tough but it is so worth it! Veeam100Summit!!

 When you start your journey to becoming a Legend or Vanguard the road ahead can seem lonely and even frighteningMuch work must be done and in the beginning it is easy to become distracted by things on the side and loose focus You need to be careful not to break any rules or run into areas of dangerYou will cross many work rivers and then face a steep climbYou might be tempted to turn back and avoid the effortYou might think that you are almost there and then face yet another challengeDon’t let yourself feel caged inWhen you finally become a Legend or Vanguard the reward is in reaching new heights and seeing things in a different and omnipotent way!Veeam treats you like Royalty and you feel as if you are finally in the Castle that you deserve!#veeam100summit

Veeam 365 object storage extent no local backups

Hi there,I’ve created a backup repo in my Veeam for 365 backups and also specified an extent to offload to Azure:Since that’s live I have no backup data on my local disks other than some sort of a cache… looks like everything has been pushed to Azure. Is there a way to still have local backups and then offload to Azure like we do with Veeam B&R ?Thank you.

Fun Friday #52: Which Database will you be using in v12?

The Veeam Availability Suite v12 is fast approaching, when it arrives, you’ll be able to utilise a Postgres database for VBR and VBEM, will you be using this? Or sticking to your tried and true SQL Server? Further, do you use a standard edition of SQL or higher? Or still using Express? It’d be interesting to hear the split of the people the intend to move to Postgres and what they’re coming from!

Restore Oracle Database - Sequence contains more than one matching element

Recently I needed to restore a SAP Oracle Database and I received this error below: After open a ticket with Veeam support I discover that this error has relation with SAP Oracle Databases specifically. The solution was a fix on Veeam Explorer for Oracle. After applying it my restore ran successfully.However, it doesn't have a public KB about this error and only support Veeam has access for this fix.So, if any of you get this kind of error, I recommend open a ticket with Veeam to solve your problem as soon as possible.
