Sadly, as my friend @Scott , I wont be able to attend this year,my family will grow and we are expecting this to happen at the end of July, so too risky.Im very happy and surprised about all Im seeng with the Virtual Event,Isnt like in person, Miami was a blast and a dream! but Hopefully I will catch the things that cut my eye, and engage with y’all and enjoy the presentation.I will miss the hallway talks, brekfasts, swimming pool and parties… OMG, Im gonna stop writing or I will start to cry.Thanks for preparing all this Virtual experience for the ones not allowed to attend in person.To me, Im still in love with the “Direct to S3” backup, Now the implementations in my case turn the table to be more flexible with Branches and ROBO offices, same with Home VIP users with the Agent.The Cyber and Malware features are more than welcome!Im very exited and looking forward to the “big announcements” Lets see what the future brings to the Veeamers world!have a great VeeamOn.cheers.

Hello, Thanks, I cannot install latest VBRso this is what happened.For years, at VBR 11 installed and worked great. thanks veeam! Now, tried to update to latest 12.1. i downloaded .iso and checked md5 hash. That update failed, complained could not uninstall veeam for linux. I tried again to update and this time, instead of being asked to upgrade, i was only given option to Install. I tried to install, but VBR complains about seen belowSo I tried to manually remove VBR using:https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/how-to-uninstall-v12-community-edition-completely-t89675.htmlhttps://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/how-to-uninstall-v12-community-edition-completely-t89675.html But, when i try to install, I still get that same error message, as shown above.here is the contents of VbrSuite_26_05_2024_10_32_34.log[26.05.2024 10:32:34][INFO] Configuration file: G:\Setup\VBRSettings.xml[26.05.2024 10:32:34][INFO] Engine is starting...[26.05.2024 10:32:34][INFO] Creatin

We have Veeam Data platform enterprise plus premium license and need to install license file on physical laptop client. but no luck. we tried to install same license file on physical laptop. but no luck.Please suggest.

I have been working on learning how Veeam SysLog can be utilized with the Azure SEIM tool Sentinel. This entry focuses on what I learned about KQL and an idea of how that can be useful when examining these events. I hope you find it useful, and if anyone wants to know more about the setup, just let me know. What is KQL?Kusto Query Language (KQL) is a powerful, read-only language designed to query structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. It is primarily used with Azure Data Explorer for swift and interactive analysis of vast data sets.Why Use KQL?KQL is optimized for efficiently handling massive volumes of data, making it suitable for tasks like log analysis, telemetry data crunching, and monitoring applications and infrastructure. And is deeply integrated with various Microsoft services like Azure Monitor, Azure Log Analytics, and Application Insights. KQL's syntax is easy to pick up, especially for those familiar with SQL. It includes familiar clauses such as where, summari

Hey all,I have installed veeam backup in GCP and in the policies I have created, both the snapshot and the backup are working (attached images).now i would like to clone this backup that veeam has generated, in a new instance of GCP, but i don't see how to do it.the idea is not to use the veeam windows backup (VBR) or another system, but to do it from GCP.take the structure that veeam has created when leaving the backup and restore or clone the machine in GCP.I don't see the option to do it. maybe it is not possible. someone help me to clarify this issue.I have consulted articles like the ones below, but they do not help me:If it is not possible to do it as I indicate, and I have to use VBR as a prerequisite, what is the point.I mean, is it essential to use it? is it mandatory to have VBR installed and there is no other way?Thanks in advance.   

Hi all… greetings…I am wondering if expiry date can be shown in the Veeam GUI under backup properties?With using Dell DataDomain immutable repo 

 Deduplicating storage appliances plays a significant role in organizations' data protection strategy by reducing consumed storage, eliminating similar data blocks, and providing secure long-term data storage using mechanisms such as immutability.However, when developing the architecture and solution for any project, it is important to understand the business requirements for correctly implementing and using these solutions.Depending on the deduplication appliance, it all comes down to understanding and choosing an appropriate trade-off between space savings, restoring speed, and cost optimization so that the implementation provides the expected result.It is important to highlight that Veeam VBR allows customers freedom of choice, is storage-agnostic, and allows deduplication appliances as a backup repository. Briefly, the following are the Veeam VBR integration possibilities:Supported Non-deduplication Storage SystemsDirect attached storage: Microsoft Windows server (ReFS):  Fast Clon

In case you missed it:Veeam has issued an enhanced update to address a critical vulnerability in Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC).Although our initial patch effectively addressed the primary concern, a subsequent review identified an area for further improvement. To ensure comprehensive protection, we swiftly developed and released a refined patch that fully mitigates the issue. We're confident this updated version reinforces the security of Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC) and demonstrates our commitment to continually strengthening our response measures. Knowledge Base article https://www.veeam.com/kb4575 has been updated detailing the issues.So the latest build number now is 8.0.0.19552 which supersedes 8.0.0.19236

adding hyper-v host failed with "invalid credentials" noting that we don't have domain and the Veeam and Hyper-V are on the same subnet.

Hi Team,Actually, we restored one VM through instance recovery and it’s completed successfully, but one NFS datastore mounted on vCenter datastore. why? and one more thing if it is mount then after should be delete automatically? why it is deleted manually?is there any option available to avoid mounting or delete automatically.     

Hi Folks, What has your object storage journey with Veeam been like and at what stage are you at now?I started using S3 compatible the minute Veeam introduced it as capacity tier for Scaleout repos. I leveraged a 4 node Docker Swarm cluster with Minio. I chose Docker Swarm at the time as Minio advised to use containers for multitenancy and mentioned Kubernetes. I arrogantly thought I would read up over the weekend and on Monday get it going. That was not the case to say the least. Docker Swarm was much simpler and I eventually went with that. The solution worked well but my lack of deep understanding put some restraints on what I could do, not to mention that Docker Swarm, while being a solid solution did not have the incredible fine tuning capabilities that Kubernetes has.Since then it has been all Kubernetes and S3 never far behind. It got to the point where I simply had to defect to the S3 compatible side of the force completely 😁. So what was your journey, what are you using. What

Hi folks,We have Veeam B&R and a hardened repo for all our backup jobs. Repo is configured to allow 8 concurrent tasks. We run a SAP backup job every 10 minutes. When SAP backup runs while there is any other job running that uses all the connections to the repo, the SAP job fails. I’ts unable to wait for the repo to have any ‘channel’ available as other jobs do.Is there any setting to tell the SAP job to wait until there is any available connection to the repo?Thanks in advance

Hello All, I have a TAPE job that works well until one day is skipped, for example, due to a holiday. In such cases, it tries to back up the missed days as well, but then it no longer fits on the tape. Currently, there are 10 processes in the TAPE job, but if a day is skipped, it becomes 20 processes, and if two days are skipped, it becomes 30 processes.I can only fix it by deleting the TAPE job and creating a new one. This again only works well until a day is skipped. I am using the following: Veeam Backup and Replication 12.1.1.56, TAPE: IBM ULT3580-HH6 SCSIAny idea? Thanks,

Hi everyone!I just started my jurney into Nutanix, and I had the chance to attend the .Next conference last week in Barcelona.the venue was great, same place as vmexplore, I went there for a previous conference before, but the space and area were great, not to extense, close and well signed.I also took the chance to became a NCP-NCI certified, so Im so pleased and this week really worth it. Here I will share some more pics, you may see some other familiar faces…. Spain vExperts in the picture.Thanks Sean Torres!poor .Next, didnt survive!I didn´t take any pic at the Veeam Booth, but, the VUG Spain community was present and left a little gift for the “fastest” attendees…VUG Spain Stickers!cheers.

Hi all. The situation is a little unusual, in our infrastructure there is a working version of Veeam Backup & Replication 11 running on a virtual machine with Windows Server 2019 Standard, everything is fine with it. But recently we launched a spare physical server in the data center, I exported a virtual machine with Veeam there, and now it does not start.Of the 16 Veeam services, 3 cannot start - “Veeam Backup Service”, “Veeam Broker Service” and “Veeam CDP Coordinator Service”, so the management console does not start. Error 1064 “An exception occured in the service when handling the control request”.Please help me understand what’s going on, this is a complete copy of a virtual machine, just running on a different physical host, what’s the problem?

Does Veeam allows to delete a specific Restore Point via GUI? I want to delete an oldest full backup. Can I directly delete it from the physical location? I reckon this is not going to corrupt my backup chain as I already have another full backup.  

​​​​​​This one for me stands out the most when it comes to Veeam 12.1.2 😀Scale-out backup repositories now support multiple Performance Tier and Capacity Tier extents backed by Smart Object Storage API (SOSAPI) enabled object storage.This was a big issue for scaling and now it has been sloved.Now if Veeam would just get M365 to support SOSAPI. 

Hi Everyone, If you are attending VeeamON and are free on Tuesday at 3:45, you are welcome to come by a session I am taking part in with Karinne Bessette Moderating and Drew Schlussel from Wasabi and Gregory Tellone from CloudIBR on Object Storage:Object Storage is Ready for the Prime TimeI want to also take this opportunity to thank @Rick Vanover for getting more Community/Technical sessions at VeeamON. I know some folks are worried about the future of IT communities but believe me with leaders like Rick around IT communities are here to stay! 

Sad I can’t attend in person this year but it’s just too busy. Work with people retiring as well as training new staff, and after hours it seems to be weddings, moving to a new house, and gigs with the band leaving little time for much else.   I’ll attend virtually this year. Really looking forward to hearing about the potential of a future release, and some of the fine tuning on the malware detection.  Veeam is already such a feature rich solid product that I can’t even think of the next features they will integrate.  I’m looking forward to seeing my Veeam friends post’s and photos from the event. Miami last year was a blast.  Hopefully we are all fortunate and lucky enough to see each other in a few months. 

Hi everyone,I want to share with y’all my experience with the VBR12 Quick Migration!Im in Love, its absolutely insain how good it works, and has facilitated my lab migration 1000%!Let me show you with some screeshots the process and the result!go to the inventory, right click in the machine you want to movehere is, lets get in to itchoosing destinyIf this is a cluster, you can use vMotion, if not, Veeam Transport modeChecking if doable….Boom!! time to go! Be careful! Delete source after move, I select it, use it at your own risk.​​​​​​Process startedDone! success!! lets check in the vsphere console, here is, in the new hypervisor, turned on, ready to go!here is, works great, with minimum down time, moved clean and easy!Do you like this functionality?My home Lab loves it!cheers.

Hi, I am designing the replacement architecture for our Veeam Backup environment and need some help understanding where the traffic flows when using hardened repositories in a SOBR. Our current environment we have the backup server at a remote location with direct attach storage and a backup proxy at our data center with direct attach storage.   Each day incremental backups run at the datacenter writing backups to the backup proxy which are then copied to the backup server at the remote location.  Each month synthetic full backups are created at the remote location.  The hardware is end of life and needs to be replaced. I would like to keep the backup server and backup proxy and utilize hardened Linux repositories at both sites.   The primary backups would be configured with a 14 day retention period and incremental backup mode.   The backup copy location would consist of 3 Linux servers with 28 8TB SSDs set up as hardened Linux repositories.    What I need to understand is when synthe

The email notifications are not working after upgrading from v11 to v12 (v12.1), including sending the test email.There are warnings on the backup jobs: " Sending e-mail report Details: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure. "   Every time you send an email report, Veeam Backup and Replication v12.1 validates the certificate received from your email server during email report configuration, indicating that the certificate has likely been modified. It's easy to fix this issue, you need to open the global email notification settings and save the configuration again, accept the verify certificate prompted and save the settings.
