Anyone using Veeam Enterprise Manager have issues with the API URL?  We use a custom built tool that connects to VEM (VBR behind the scene) and provisions customers for our VCC.  I have one server that cannot get to the API for some reason and shows the below connection reset message.I have upgraded the VEM to the latest patch from July and ensure everything with FW, etc. is configured correctly.  Any suggestions appreciated.Veeam Enterprise Manager API URL - Connection Reset Message 

Hi everyone,I am thinking of a design like that A tape library with x3 FC drives (say XYZ), connected to SAN switches Then the SAN switches connecting to 4 servers (say ABCD)Normally, the tape drives are backup up servers ABCWhich mean drive X-A, drive Y-B, driveZ-CWhen one of the servers down, (say B), server D will take up the role become X-A, Y-D, Z-Cwill it work and if Veeam support setting like that?

I have on the VBR a copy job, a backup copy job to a hardened repository and a tape job. Now for VBM the customer also wants the data to be copied on the primary repository, then a copy on the hardened repository and finally on tape, how can I configure this?

Hello, I’m new to Veeam. Are there any API’s I can use for Veeam for Salesforce. I could not find anything in Documentations. Only for other Veeam products. ThanksRainer 

Hallo everyoneI am trying to figure out what the best way to transfer Running backup jobs with tons of restore points pr. job, to a new Veeam server, without loosing any backup data/historyThe “old” Veeam server has to be decommissioned - and so will the current repository, over time.The new Veeam server should have all jobs and backup data (restore points) from “old” Veeam server and run on new repository/storage as wellWhat will be the best way on migrating all, from old to new server - and from old repo to new repo, with out loosing vital backup data and historyAnyone ?

Azure AD is a cloud-based multi-tenant directory and identity service that provides identity and access management capabilities in the cloud.Since choosing the correct authentication method is the first concern for organisations wanting to move their apps to the cloud. The following section helps you decide which authentication method is right for you by using a decision tree. It helps you determine whether to deploy cloud or federated authentication for your Azure AD hybrid identity solution.Scr: MicrosoftTo choose an authentication method, you need to consider the time, existing infrastructure, complexity, and cost of implementing your choice. These factors are different are different from Organisation to organisation. Because of this, I will be highlighting on the different authentication me

I’m going to be likely setting up a new client on a VBR VM with a local NAS as their primary repository (I know...I’d rather do a purpose-built physical server but cost is an issue) and Wasabi object storage for an off-site copy (and likely replication to 11:11 Systems VCC for DR).  I’m curious now that we have backup to object and copy to object capabilities, what you folks are doing for that second copy?  Traditionally I obviously have used a SOBR using Wasabi as the capacity tier in Copy mode (move mode disabled *usually*, but I just noted that I’m performing copy and move for my internal server) so that I had the data in both locations. However, now that we can backup and copy direct to object, curious if anyone has abandoned the SOBR and are instead using a copy job to send data to the object storage and are keeping the data there with the traditional copy job managing things.  @Nico Losschaert posted a debate about the pro’s an

Hi, we have Veeam backup for Azure all setup and running and its been a couple of months. We have private network deployment with private endpoints in our environment with premium service bus and all subnets are allowed to access this service bus. We have 5 backup policies in total, 3 of them have been running fine but 2 of the jobs (with our file servers), the snapshots are running fine but the backup policy is getting failed after 4/5 hours of the session run with an error :Failed to perform backup of vm1 to Production Backups Repo 1. Worker VBA-5bf0973a-8e2c-4dda-ba63-28814324c1bb: getting of the job status failed (trace ID: b8b3fb4e-c7f0-4f86-aa22-4f2122f45b00)We have noticed that when the backup policy session starts, it backs up the data all the way to 60% percent and then it stuck for a very long time before erroring out this message. We have raised a support case with Veeam and they said they will need to check with their R&D team, as we have the

Hi, I would like to know that can we directly restore from tape for VM backup with HPE Store as disk storage Thank you

Hi Everyone, I’m sharing this script to find where the Veeam Agent is running in the AD domain.It uses ADSI so there is no need for the Active Directory module installation.You can change the first two lines to suit your needs in finding some other resources and the service name to check the status as well.$SPNKeyword = 'VeeamAgentWindows'$ServiceKeyword = 'Veeam' Try { $adsiSearcher = [adsisearcher]"(&(objectCategory=computer)(servicePrincipalName=*$($SPNKeyword)*))" $propList = 'CanonicalName', 'description', 'name', 'operatingSystem', 'ServicePrincipalName' ForEach ($prop in $propList) { [void]$adsiSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add($prop) } $adsiSearcher.FindAll() | ForEach-Object { Write-Host "Processing $($_.Properties['name'][0]) " -ForegroundColor Yellow [PSCustomObject]([ordered]@{ Name = $_.Properties['name'][0]

Hello everyone. I’ve been beating on this for a week and have finally given in to post a question here. I have the plug-in installed and it works great. Very easy to setup, and it just works.The problem comes where I am not very familiar with MS SQL. I would like to get email notifications for the database backups. It appears that this needs to be configured within SQL Server Management Studio. I have database mail setup and it can send test messages, but I can’t seem to get the SQL agent job for the database backup to kick out an email when it completes.Has anyone attempted to get this working who can provide me with some information?Thanks,Joe

on the new Ubuntu hardened repository i have set make recent backup immutable for 30 DaysOn the Backup Copy Job i have a retention Time 30 Days and GFS for 1 MonthsIs this Settings correct ? 

NewsI would like to share with you a recipe from my "Script Kitchen" that I'm in the process of matching ingredients to. The question I asked myself: Do you really need to protect your Entra ID tenant(s)? My answer: see below ;) IntroEntra ID stores a variety of settings and policies that are important to the continuity of your business. Anything that compromises your Entra ID configuration can result in an immediate loss of access to data and applications. So how about exporting the information to another location so it can be analyzed and imported or reconfigured if something bad happens? And how about adding a retention to the exported data?Microsoft provides some built-in retention mechanisms (Recycle Bin), but these mechanisms are not enough to meet the needs of most organizations. The Recycle Bin stores deleted objects such as users and groups for 30 days. Some limitations which I associate with it:- After 30

HelloIm looking for an openshift backup solution and would like to have details about kind of objects can be backed up with Veeam\Kasten.I guess that backup of Deployments, DeploymentConfigs, StatefulSets and VMs is a “must” so what about ability to restore, if necessary, a simple secret, service-account… Can we do that?Another topic, it is possible to create a SLA selecting as source of data an specific project? Where can I find out detailed product features?Best Regards

Hey guys! Recently I write a blog post about restoring backups to AWS. I normally write in brazilian portuguese but I thought will be a good content to translate and send here too. Like a say, I will detail all the pre-requisites and scenarios to restore backups to AWS using Veeam.This can be useful in three scenarios:Restore your on-premises environment directly to EC2 machines on Amazon. Migrate your on-premises environment to AWS.

Hi all, last week I deployed a new storage array.  I’ve migrated all production VM’s as well as replica’s that resided on the datastores, except for CDP replica’s.  I cannot for the life of me figure out how to migrate the CDP replica’s and update the CDP policy to point to the new datastores. Storage vMotion inexplicably gets cancelled by a user later on - assuming that’s VBR even though I currently have the policy disabled.  That said, I can’t modify the specified datastore below as well - all is disabled.  I thought I might clone the policy, but it looks like CDP policies can’t be cloned like backup and copy jobs - not a big deal but also caught me off-guard.So am I missing something, or do I need to recreate the policy and restart replication from scratch?

if I have a backup job with GFS, and then the job is saved in a backup copy job, will the GPS backup also be taken over or do I also have to set GFS in the backup copy job?

Hello everyone,have you read the latest news?https://www.veeam.com/news/cirrus.htmlIntroducing Cirrus by Veeam – Backup as a ServiceI understand that it is a SaaS, but what are the major differences in functionality with the existing Veeam products (Veeam backup for Azure and Veeam backup for 365) ?What will be the implications on future developments of the respective solutions? Edit: I’ve just found a post on Veeam Forum with the same argument, let’s follow the progress  https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-cloud-providers-forum-f34/cirrus-clarifications-t90286.html

This error happened to one of our clients. The backup chains’ status is good without any issues.VBR v12 guest file restore---happen error message is as below:Secondary GPT header LBA 209715199 exceeds the size of the disk (86401630720)Agent failed to process method {Mount.GenericMount)  I tried to change the mount server of the repository, but I still had no luck.This VM has only one virtual disk (C:) with 9

If the backup jobs fail and show an error message is “Unable to allocate processing resources. Error: Unable to find Hyper-V hosts where VM 'xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx' is registered: Failed to connect to Hyper-V Integration Service on host, port 6163”. I tried to review the settings, and all of them look fine, but the backup jobs failed always. I have run into these issues sometimes, it’s easy to solve, you just need to reboot the Veeam management server or restart the Veeam services of the Veeam management server.

Just a quick info for the community, as the deadline is today at 08:00PM/20:00 PT.VMware is doing a challenge on their Hands-On Lab Plattform via VMware Odyssey. There are 4 different labs which prepare participants for the VCP DCV (Datacenter Virtualization Professional) exam. In each lab one can collect points and the top 10 receive a price.At the moment there are less then 10 people in the leaderboard, which means, if I get it right, chances are high to win a prize 😉VMware Hands-on Labs Request
