Today’s #VMCE2020 #DailyQuiz walkthrough is ready. Do you have network-attached storage file shares in your environment? Have you ever used NDMP? 

Hello everyone, We have an HPE MSL3040 tape library and we have two F.C drives on it. The drives are detected on the Veeam server but one of them shows a red sign (screenshot attached). On device manager both drives are properly working. we are unable to use the parallel processing feature because the second drive seems to be non functional. Any ideas as to why this could be happening? Thanks in advance for your support.  

Dear Veeam Community,I hope this finds you well. I've encountered an issue after updating to Veeam Version 12 and was hoping someone might have come across a similar problem or can provide some guidance.**Problem Description:** After the update, I am unable to send notification emails. I consistently receive the error message: "Unable to connect to SMTP server because of invalid credentials or connection settings." I am certain of my credentials, having double-checked multiple times.Steps Taken:1. I've tried all configuration variants using both ports 587 and 465.2. When using port 465, I am able to apply the settings, but an error then displays.3. With port 587, the error surfaces after sending the test message.**Mail Server Error Logs:** From the logs, the following sections raised concerns:* `SASL login authentication failed`* `TLS library problem: error:14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert

I am facing problems. Task failed. Error: Connection problems. Processing finished with errors.Veeam Backup & Replication Version 12

Hey folks,It seems like just yesterday that HashiCorp announced changes to the Terraform licensing plan and already there is a possible alternative on the horizon. The Linux Foundation announced today the formation of the OpenTofu project which is being billed as an alternative to Terraform. As they say, we will wait and see what happens but since LF is involved this is definitely not a dead from the start.You can read more here: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/announcing-opentofu

At the recent VeeamOn Tour, held in London, I was lucky enough to be asked to sit on a Veeam Vanguard panel, to talk about the topic of data security, which led to the question "Everyone should have a recovery plan, but how do you ensure it is reliable?". Let's go through my points offered on the day, in a little more detailWhen talking to customers about recovery plans, there are 4 points I like to discuss:-Understand your valuable data/core systems & processes"Kind of obvious Craig" I hear you say. Well yes and no…it's not always the usual suspects. Everyone would immediately point to production data as their most valuable data, and it's not wrong. It just there's more to valuable data than just production data.Companies need to be able to take that step back from production and look at their data estate holistically. Yes we want producti

Hi Folks Kodekloud will be offering a free week starting on the 25th. There are a ton of new courses. Aside from all the Kubernetes courses there are also AZURE, GCP, AWS etc. Go take a look, take a vacation from work, buy lots of coffee, do courses non stop then go back to work with bigger salary demands or demanding more vacation time in order to run this function in a loop 😁https://kodekloud.com/pages/free-week?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=1+Week+Until+KodeKloud%27s+Free+Week&utm_content=announcement

Hello,I’m backing up a single physical server that uses about 128GB of storage.  However, the “VM Size” as reported by the restore wizard is 834GB.  Why so large?Thanks for any insight,FrankV drive is external USB  USB drives are excluded 

SQL restart when doing Instant DB recoveryThe Database went offline and in Recovery Pending state. It is currently doing Instant DB Recovery. Is it safe to restart SQL to bring the Database online without affect transactions already in the cache folder? Would it affect the Instant DB recovery process (I don’t think so but better to ask). What other processes should we consider before doing a restart of the SQL? Thanks.

Hi,We have a requirement of setting up a DR for VM’s running on Nutanix AHV to VMWare / Hyper-V running on HP server. Is this possible with Veeam ? Customer is using Veeam enterprise plus license. Please advise the possibilities.

I recently upgraded my Veeam One to version 11 (and yes looking at v12 soon)  and the scheduled PDF reports use to come in landscape but are now showing in portrait mode.    Basically I want the report data to not be split across 2 different pages.  I vaguely remember I had to change something in V10, but can’t remember if it was a browser setting, registry setting, or something else.I do not currently have the SQL reporting services installed, but can do so. And how can this setting stick to version 12?

TL;DR: The first comment I’ve made, after this post, is details of specific problems, and doesn’t really need to be read unless you want to give advice on the specifics. The second comment is more significant, as is this post.As I seem to be continually fighting against Veeam's overall design/features/capabilities to make things work for over a year now I thought I'd ask a general planning question to determine if maybe there's just a better way to be using Veeam that isn't what we're doing now. Since I imagine we can't possibly the only company that provides a managed cloud-based backup service using Veeam, but isn't a full MSP.Fair warning, this is going to be a little ranty, but I've been dealing with this on a daily basis for over a year now and so my frustration with trying to make it work is rather high.My main goal here is to not really "start over" but essentially act like I'm starting over, and determine if maybe the enti

Well today I had a discussion with Packt Publishing about the potential for writing a book on vSphere 8.  So, this will be on top of my current Veeam books and branches into virtualization, mainly vSphere that I also know.If there is anyone out there that has thought about writing or collaborating on a book reach out to me as I am still debating on doing this one solo.  Even if you have just topics that you would like to see covered would be a great help. 😁More to come on this possible new adventure.

As a service provider we regularly have customers with unstable internet connections for some or all of their devices, some on slow DSL connections, some on cellular hotspots, some that have high speed connections that still fail from time to time. In my experience this is one major place where Veeam fails miserably when compared to other software, it doesn’t handle poor connections very well. I figure this is mostly another aspect of Veeam that’s leftover from the original “in-house” design Veeam originally had for backing up VMWare systems locally, but now that it’s more widely used by service providers backing up over the internet, it doesn’t seem to work very well in my experience.I’m curious if other people have had similar issues and what you may have done to resolve it. I’ll admit that I’m really tired of having to implement more tweaks and workarounds and fudging with registry keys and configuration files in order to make Veeam work when I know I coul

Hi,After an upgrade to B&R 12 i need to deploy components to my offsite immutable repo.I run “sudo veeamhubrepo”, chose the default user and press enter, but ssh is never enabled so my B&R server cant connect. I recall seeing a note in the header of veeamhubrepo once about SSH being enabled, but now it just showing the IP. Any hints?

Hi EveryoneLooking for an advice on the best way to keep backup repository data replicated to off-site for redundancy.The setup is: 2x hardened Linux repositories each on Synology NAS.At the moment the backups are copied using backup copy jobs, however it would not copy all of the backup data chain, just backups created after the creation of the backup copy job.I would like to keep both repositories in full sync in case on of them is lost because of the disaster.
