Manually remove Veeam components from HV host

Further to my earlier question about backing up between networks, I tried to start removing the Veeam components that are installed on the Hyper-V hosts.  One of the hosts is being a real pig and will not remove with error ‘Connecting to installer service Error: The RPC server is unavailable.’  On checking, the Veeam Installer Service is not running and will not start with an errors 7009 and 7000.  Trying to delete the service as per KB2263: Failed to start service ‘VeeamDeploySvc’ - The system cannot find the file specified. does not work either!  Any suggestions on how to manually remove Veeam components from this host? Slight curveball is that it is Windows Server Core 2019.Thanks!

Therefore, I will be showing you the steps on how to resolve this issue very quickly. Here is a detailed link to this post.If you are here reading this troubleshooting guide "new Veeam Backup server but then Veeam won’t start", this means you must have recently installed Veeam Backup and Replication Server or must have recently upgraded it.

Per-VM Backup Chains

Hey everyone! Happy Friday 😃I had a quick question regarding Per-VM Backup chains. If I remember rightly, I think I read somewhere that in V12 it would be enabled by default. Are Per-VM backup chains now best practice? Anything to be aware of when transitioning to them on already existing backup jobs that do not utilise Per-VM backup jobs currently?Thank you!

Veeam ONE v12 - Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Integration

Hi all,if you are planning to connect your Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to your Veeam ONE 12 infrastructure and start monitoring this type of backup as well, one thing to keep in mind is the license versions of the two products.Below the licensing-level compatibility matrix:https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/one/deployment/license_types.html?ver=120 As for the actual connection, in my case I ran into the following issue:https://www.veeam.com/kb4422 The KB4422 is very explanatory: “Monitoring Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 infrastructure and data protection operations with Veeam ONE v12, requires a new Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 license file with the M365Suite package value.”.  In my case, restarting the "Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 REST API Service" and push again the license update using the "Update Now" button in the VBO365 Server has solved the problem.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo365/guide/vbo_installing_license.html?ver=70I hope I can have been helpful.Good work to

Can I backup and roll back the backup repository?

My backup repository is an iSCSI mount from some NAS which can take snapshots on iSCSI LUN I’m thinking about a very simple backup plan with 30 days retention, and monthly snapshot and replicate the iSCSI LUN. If I need to restore something e.g. 3 months ago, can I just dismount the current repository, mount the 3 months old iSCSI snapshot, rescan it and restore files from it?

Day 2 Operations: Easier than ever with V12
Day 2 Operations: Easier than ever with V12

One of the age-old IT dilemmas is how to handle changes after things have been implemented. Everything works on the day everything is implemented, and then the business gets underway changing everything. While I tell this story in a broad-stroke fashion, it’s the reality of the dynamic aspect of IT services today.What happened? It was working when I set it up…When it comes to the backup infrastructure configuration, there is an important requirement to make sure that as the business changes the data protection strategy adapts. Over the years here at Veeam I’ve advocated heavily for using organizational constructs such as VMware vSphere Tags, Hyper-V System Center Virtual Machine manager tags, Active Directory Organizational Units and more. These help to accommodate net new systems to be incorporated into backup jobs and policies that are already implemented with Veeam.But what about changes in application criticality or tier of service? Take for example something that I think happens q

I did it!

Due to other things pending the outcome of our V12 testing, I figured I’d just update V12 in production :) Worked great, no issues, my backup speeds actually look fantastic too. Still on SQL, most likely going to migrate to full blown SQL servers this week as we have enterprise licenses. I don’t think there are any advantages to postgres, but I could be wrong. The new license for file to tape is what I am currently investigating as we archive a ton of data and don’t want any surprises.

Veeam Backup for Azure v5 - new features?

I am having a hard time finding any information regarding the v5 which will come this month.Does anyone have a sources for new features, compability and what we need to know?Was asked by deploy this for a customer this morning from the new v12 vbr console, but doesnt seem like the azure plugin for vbr is updated since it said you would need v11a..I just saw Veeam had a webinar for v5 2 days ago, sorry I missed that, but perhaps there is a recording?Would also be interesting to hear if Veeam backup for Azure does have a better fit than Veeam Agents for small azure customers with 1-5 vms? with veeam agents, vspc v7 and the seucre mode we can backup directly from the veeam agent to wasabi, with immuability without going through our vcc/vspc server regarding the traffic. How does VBA compare?

Cloud Credentials Expired

I was trying to restore an on-premise VM into Azure, which I had done many times before, and I got this error:"Failed to process request: (Unauthorized). AADSTS7000215: Invalid client secret provided. Ensure the secret being sent in the request is the client secret value, not the client secret ID, for a secret added to app ..." I thought there was something wrong with our Veeam Azure appliance, so inside of Veeam I tried to Edit the appliance or Rescan the appliance, and I kept getting a “Value cannot be null” error.I opened a ticket with Veeam support and here is what I learned:The Veeam Azure appliance has nothing to do with a restore from on-prem to Azure.  That is used for running Azure backups and for performing a backup copy from Azure to on-prem. In Veeam, go to Manage Cloud Credentials and edit your accounts.  I think they need to be edited once a year so that you can confirm your username and password again.  You can see the middle account I just edited and the bottom account

Small Issue after installing the path for V12

Hello,I have updated some of the V12 VBR servers with the patch from Tuesday.The server is running and backups are possible.But I see on all servers a warning for a system process ( Veeam Console → History Tab → System).Are you seeing this warning/error, too? Edit:Seems to be a timing issue with both V11 and V12.The next planned execution of the Catalog Cleanup on day later runs successfully.So, It’s a “cosmetic” issue.

change IP address of SMB repository

I added a 10 Gbe NIC to my server hosting my SMB repository. That new NIC has a different IP address. I have a bunch of machines that backup via Windows and Linux agents and I don’t have the option to edit them from the Veeam Backup & Replication console (the Edit menu item is grayed out). Most of these machines are currently offline/not accessible. I’d like to avoid remoting into or physically going to each of these machines (so many) - how can I change the IP address of this SMB repository within VB&R console so the machines will pick up the revised repository when they come back online to perform a backup?

VBR V12: Keep VBR and Enterprise Manager on same database engine

Just a quick tip regarding the database used for Veeam Backup & Replication and Enterprise Manager. You need to keep both on the same database engine, so either on Microsoft SQL or PostgreSQL. If you mix both database types, you will be presented with a warning when you try to add a VBR server to EM:If you’re planing to migrate from Microsoft SQL to PostgreSQL, then keep in mind to also migrate the Enterprise Manager database.You can also run into this problem when setting up a new Enterprise Manager as it will by default install and use PostgreSQL. In that case either select a different database during the setup or alter the database connection with the “Configuration Database Connection Settings” utility. I haven’t read about this requirement so far, but the helpcenter mentions it:Note that configuration databases of the Enterprise Manager server and backup servers added to the Enterprise Manager infrastructure must use the same database engine.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/b
