I’m back with a recap of the sessions I attended and my takeaways from Day 1 of virtual VeeamON! After the opening keynote, I made an iced coffee because we all know tech runs on caffeine, and began my journey through the worlds of cloud and ransomware. The first thing I tuned in to was “Embrace the Breach with a Step-By-Step Cyber Recovery Plan” with Brad Linch and Michael Archick of Veeam’s Enterprise SE team. They told us that 75% of organizations get hit by cyberattacks. Additionally, according to the 2024 Ransomware Trends Report, 96% of attackers target backup software specifically. The important thing to understand about cyberattacks is that once an attacker is in your environment, they can find the tools they want to compromise quickly. Once they’re done with this information, they may even sell it to another group. This is why it’s important to have good data backups. Veeam’s Zero Trust Data Resiliency Architecture is built into its products for this reason. Brad and Michael t

Actually, the IBM tape library is physically connected to Veeam backup server in our environment, but when i configure tape library through Veeam server console, what i enter the server details means IP or hostname.because Veeam backup server and tape library IP is different, so what should be enter for tape library configuration.i did the backup server IP then drive is not reflected in Veeam console, but i checked computer management the tape drive is available on device manager. what is the issue, please suggest.

A customer wants to set up a Veeam cdp job for a critical vm on a vSAN cluster v8. The source and destination cluster is the same. Is this possible? does it make sense?

What an exciting week this has been! I got the opportunity to attend VeeamON virtually from Columbus, OH, while the main event was in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The nice thing about hybrid events is that you can join them from other locations, making them more accessible to more people. Session-wise, I chose to focus primarily on Veeam Backup for Azure and Coveware by Veeam’s ransomware sessions since that’s where I’m geeking out lately. The nice thing is that several sessions are now available on demand, so attendees can go back and see what we missed.Of course, I started my time at VeeamON with the opening keynote where data and data resilience was the theme. Veeam CEO Anand Eswaran kicked us off wearing some awesome custom Veeam sneakers and introducing the City of Ft. Lauderdale’s CIO, Tamika McKay. McKay welcomed attendees to her city, highlighting Ft. Lauderdale’s role in the tech industry as well as its beaches and cultural offerings. She said her top priorities as CIO are cyberse

We tried to  restore ( entire computer ) one of our production computer due to slowness. we tried multiple full backups from different dates. But all restored Hard disk ( New ) having some booting issue.Automatically go to automatic repair mode and failed Cant boot into safe mode Went through the startup chkdsk - failed** Noticed a warning as shown on the image during restore process . does it related to this booting issue ? 

Hi All, I need a Veeam powershell command to fetch agent based backup. I am using below command to fetch last night backup status but it doesn’t include agent based backup. Get-VBRBackupSession | Where-Object {$_.JobType -eq "Backup" -and $_.EndTime -ge (Get-Date).addhours(-24)} Do you know single command to fetch all types of backup or different command for agent based backup? Thanks in advance

Actually, we logged the case to Veaam support team for some issue. they analyzed upgrade the Veaam server version from 12.1.1.56 to 12.1.2.172 and we are getting notification for upgrade the version on Veaam console. As per my understand, can we do through below steps ?first completed all jobs then disable all job take a configuration backup to another location. then start upgradation from Veaam console.is it right process or can we upgrade from new latest version install on same server ?Please suggest.

Hello,We are using self-service portal for our backups and we've discovered different size for each backup job. For example backup job on portal is showing 747,1GB of given backup but vbk file showing 855GB. what is the reason of this differences?thanks,Ladislav.

I have an Netapp A900. Volumes have a lot of shares in them. Adding shares individually would be tedious. So the question is, can I add the entire volume to a NAS job and then Veeam will protect all shares within the volume ?

I have a tape library with 4 drives. Veeam seems to be only using 2 of them. For example, right now I see all 4 drives - 1 is writing to 1 tape job, a 2nd is writing to another tape job, the other 2 drives are sitting, showing “idle”. Yet I have 5 more tape backup jobs sitting in queue, all showing status “0% completed”. Why isn’t Veeam writing some of those jobs to those 2 idle drives? I do have a setting on each tape job to limit it to no more than 2 drives, because I don’t want any 1 job to monopolize all tape drives. But Veeam seems to think that means to use only 2 drives *total*, not per-job. Have I missed some setting? Or set something wrong? I have a lot of data to write to tape every night, and more to come. In fact, I am waiting on 2 more tape drives, for a total of 6. But Veeam isn’t utilizing all the drives in the library. I did ask Tech Support, while I was troubleshooting another tape issue, but I never got a response to this question.Anyone? I feel it has to be something

Tape issues, Hey guys, I have been round and round with support and we are not getting far I have 28 tapes in my tape library and VEEAM sees them and reads them, but they are only showing 107gb free of 107gb total storage.  These are 30tb LTO8 drives and the systems UI itself shows the drives are 100% clear thoughts on what else I could try? I have done everything using the itdt.exe tool and still no luck    Thanks in advance

Hi Everyone,  I have a notification of potential malware detection on one of my VM with the message "potential malware activity detected: *.purge(Globe):1”  Does anyone know how to resolve this ?

Cloud team has done final sync-up of the source and destination bucket , so we disabled the backup job , created one object storage repository with the new aws account and then added to the capacity tier extent of existing SOBR , but we are unable to see the synchronize data option , please help

I know the answer is really “it depends”, but if customer says “what would you recommend” ..as they tend to do, what would be your go-to recommendation. Feel free to offer other options.

Recently as blogged already, I got a DS923+ Nas and here is one of the guides agreed upon. This short article will discuss how to set up iSCSI Target and Storage LUN on Synology DS923+ for VBR.ISCSI stands for Internet Small Computer System Interface. It revolutionizes storage accessibility by seamlessly transporting SCSI commands over TCP/IP networks, granting unparalleled block-level access to storage devices. This innovative technology bridges the gap between traditional storage systems and modern networking infrastructures, empowering businesses with efficient, scalable, and flexible storage solutions.iSCSI allows you to use a Windows repository with ReFS which leverages FastClone. Do you wish to learn more about why the Storage LUN Better is better than a Mapped Network Drive etc. Create iSCSI Targets/LUNYou can create an ISCSI target or LUn on a Synology DS923+. Since this is a pretty new device, we will create both on the fly.For simplicity, I will create a single LUN and presen
