is it possible to extract a single file from the most recent backup of a hyperV VM from a commandline utility?   It tried “extract.exe” and it appears to only extract EVERYTHING and actually restores the vhdx file.  Which I would then have to mount the vhdx somehow and extract the file I need. I’d like to run this from cmdline on a daily schedule. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi all. I am quite new to Veeam. I was trying to set my laptop up to be backed up daily and at one point I selected VM as an option. I did eventually get it set up as an Agent Backup, but now I get these emails below every day and I can’t find anywhere to delete or remove anything so I quit getting this message. Any help?[Failed] Backup Policy: Agent Backup ….. (1 VMs) 1 failed

I’ll try this as well. I’ll list some hardware, requirements, and see what you guys come up with. RequirementsMultiple site for DRPredictable pricing.

Our Azure blob storage was in the hands of another companies subscription. We’ve had that blob moved to our own subscription. Can we reconnect to a blob storage with a new path and still be able to use the backups?  Will it pickup as imported object?

Hi All,Apologies if I am asking in the wrong place, but using VBR V11 Community edition.I want to simulate a DR event. I have taken a Windows  Agent → Entire computer full backup to a USB Drive.Now i want to restore just some files from this USB Backup to a new server ( where the same edition VBR is installed.From the USB Drive on the new server , double clicking on the .VBK file launches Veeam, but my concern is the following window just shows “Restore”. I Don’t want to overwrite the entire server from this backup?  Does “Restore” actually start overwriting files, or does this proceed to show more options  ( and would be better named “Next”, rather than “Restore” ) ??Many thanks in advance.

Hi all,I was checking the HCL list on QNAP QuObject devices and in the past you could find them at: https://www.veeam.com/sys469 but this now throws a 404…So checking the HCL didn’t show any Qnap devices.Aren’t they supported anymore with the QuObjects to provide local S3 compatible storage with optional immutability?   Some months ago we had a list like:  

Hi All,I have VMCE Certification. Recently i changed my job, so i need to transfer my VMCE certification to my new organization. what is the procedure for this. can anyone help me on this? Thanks in advance 

Hi, I have already calculated by using https://rps.dewin.me/rpc, do i have to add some buffer for my backup repository ? if yes, how many percent from the calculation that I have to add as my buffer ? 

As already announced (see here), the first draft of the Backup Scanning Tools Menu has just been made available in my GitHub repository. This script is designed to provide a user-friendly, menu-driven interface for triggering the various backup scan tools that I have provided in the past. It allows the user to choose from a number of options, each corresponding to a specific type of backup scan. The script provides detailed descriptions of each scan operation before prompting the user to enter the required parameters for execution.Besides the actual Scanning Tool Menu script I also created an installer script that "installs" all necessary scan scripts into the selected directory.InstallationFollow these steps:Download the Installer Script Download the

In addition to backing up my ESXi virtual machines, I’d like to back the entire host up. How may this be done? Thanks!

I cannot expand a VM disk since the system is blocking this operation as for existing checkpoints.There’s no checkpoint within the chain in HyperV Manager, however some files exist on disk:I wonder if these are only some orphans created by VBR Comm. Ed., and if these can be safely deleted

Hi Folks,If anyone is preparing for the CKA certification feel free to share or ask me any questions. My 3 years is up and I need to redo the exam as well. I am very lucky to have been asked to lead with fellow Kodekloud Ambassador Nitish Kumar  https://www.linkedin.com/in/nitishkumar06/ a closed CKA study group over the next few Months on Kodekloud but am more than happy to try and help folks here as well. Group study makes everyone stronger! So much for taking a bit of rest in the summer. Other upcoming events and tasks, I got talked into taking part in the Tanzu hackathon which hopefully won’t be too embarrassing since I don’t feel I know Tanzu well enough to hack it :). On August 31 I will be taking part in an online panel discussion with about Kubernetes and Tanzu data protection. The Veeam contingent there is going to be very strong as als

Hello,A customer is using a "scale-out" repository on a compatible S3 and has Veeam version 11. They want to perform a test to recover the data stored on S3 to a new Veeam server. However, Veeam does not support direct import of data from the S3 repository in a "scale-out" configuration. To work around this limitation, the chosen option is to restore the Veeam configuration to the new server.The question is whether it is possible to restore the configuration on Veeam version 12, and what limitations should be taken into consideration.Thank you.

We’ve been running VBR on a 2012 R2 server for a long time but it’s time to get off of 2012.Is there a reason to keep running Veeam on a server? We’ve grown over the years and I have started putting VBR on Windows 10 workstations for remote offices and that has worked well.Do we need need to keep VBR on a server or is it save to migrate this over to a workstation?Interested in hearing why?Thanks!
