Install and configure Veeam App for Splunk on Windows

I have decided to share this link to my article on how to “Install Splunk and Veeam App on Windows Server to monitor VBR”. This guide is comprehensive and it outlines the detailed steps to create a VM on Hyper-V, install the Windows Server OS, steps to specify syslog parameters on the Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) server, install Splunk and the Veeam App.Because this article is lengthy, Here is the link: https://techdirectarchive.com/2024/05/06/install-splunk-and-veeam-app-on-windows-server-to-monitor-vbr/It thoroughly describes every step and addresses potential issues you may encounter while setting up Splunk Enterprise in your environment. Here are some advanced guides by my peers on this topic as well. You would also learn how to get and apply your DEV NFR License for Splunk.

SureBackup

Hi, I’m trying to understand SB mainly the networking side of things. In short I want to be able to ulitise SB as a sandbox to spin up a SQL server, however only spin up the OS of the SQL server - I then want to test attaching the databse to this SQL OS to see how it would perform in a reallife DR scenario. So I need to ensure that it is fully isolated from the existing environment but then I would like the SB VM to be accessible from an RDP session if possible but then to see network shares so we can attach the DB. Any ideas if this is possible and could someone maybe give me some information on the following as there really isn’t much learning material out there to understand this:

Veeam Backup & Restore Issue

Hello All, I am trying to backup a windows 10 pc and and restore it on a different machine so I have a backup PC ready to rock if something happens to the current one, the first PC has the windows files etc on a 1TB SSD but it only has 100GB used on it and I want to restore that onto the new PC but only onto a 256GB SSD so I don’t have wasted space, but in doing the back up the veeam software backs up the whole 1TB drive and when trying to install on the new 256GB SSD I get a VDS storage error and it doesn’t restore.

Veeam Linux Agent Backup

Good day team,I created a test job of an oracle linux server(database server), job appeared in the job listing, ran 2 job tests, both failed with errors:I had the wrong credentials first, so i thought that was the problem, I now found the correct credentials, managed to successfuly connect to my oracle linux server using correct credentials using a non standard ssh port. I was adding the server under backup infrastructure->mananged servers, entered correct ssh creds, reached the review page to install the Installer and Transport service( so clearly the linux login creds are correct). Concerns:My boss said to HALT on installing these 2 required services on this DB server as he does not want any services impact or catastrophe lol, he is new to veeam. For me lol, i am very cautious as well, i dont want to any overtime because of any unforseen issues Would the absence of these 2 services have caused the errors above, will backups work if these are installed? Is it safe to install (thoug

Can you manage protection group VMS over the internet with B&R and a unique backup repository?

Hi everyone, i have a question but let me explain the situation first:We have some tens of hetzner cloud servers for our customers for which we provide a secondary backup with Veeam agent on a s3 share that you can reach via SMB, apart from the one that comes integrated with hetzner.Each server has its own public IP and his own local subnet.We would like so know if there is a way to manange all these backups in a centralized way.We also have our own Veeam B&R server we use to manage our own on premises vmware infrastructure, (4 sites, one of which is a cloud esxi all with their own local nas and veeam proxy servers).I saw you can creare an s3 repository on veeam B&R but i don't know if there is a way to manage all the veeam agents via protection group over the internet, ergo over public ip? Is it possible? We have firewalls so we could limit the connection to a specific public IP if we wanted to. Do we just have to open some ports and that's it?Another question: can we create o

Veeam Backup and Replication Failed to mount files: Mounter is in 'failed' state Mount Process aborted Agent failed to process method (Mount.GenericMount

Hello. Used VEEAM 12.2.0.334 Veeam Cloud Virtual Machine Using agents for Windows operating systems, I copy and backup data. Virtual machines on Linux can recover granular files. When trying to restore Windows files, an error occurs when mounting FLR browser.Veeam is installed on a Windows 2019 server, reduplication is enabled on it. Using the agent, I make AD backups and can restore files. But if I do exactly the same task on a friend’s virtual machine, changing only the virtual machine that I want to copy, I can’t restore the files. It turns out to do instance recovery and extract data from the running VM.But when copying, exchange does not allow you to restore letters. If I backup only drive C, then I can restore the files of the Windows guest operating system. Although the tasks are completed without errors. It turns out that the backup browser works very selectively. Maybe because some virtual machines have a server core?

Backup Jobs with GFS

When I create a backup job and enable GFS retention, are the GFS backups automatically included in the secondary backup Copy jobs or do I need to configure GFS retention separately for the secondary Backup Copy jobs?

Backup Jobs not doing Storage Snapshot using vSAN

Backup Jobs not doing Storage Snapshot using vSAN.We have a VBR in Azure (AVS). The VMs are on volumes in vSAN. So the backup job finishes successfully. However, instead of doing a storage snapshot, the job does hot-add. The job has been configured to use storage snapshot. Since the VM snapshot is not removed right away, consolidation takes longer which affect the application running on the servers.

database corruption

Hi!We have a Hypervisor server running Windows server 2016. On this we have veeam backup and replication. We had multiple electric outages. UPS damaged and the server received multiple power outages. Fortunately it started, but Veeam does not. It has sql server, but its service with automatic delayed start but is not starting. To manual start still nothing. Event log saying: “the log scan number (5815:437:1) passed to log scan in database ‘master’ is not valid. This error may indicate data corruption or that the log file (.ldf) does not match the data file (.mdf). If this error occurred during replication, recreate the publication. Otherwise, restore from backup if the problem results in a fuilure during startup.”Seems to me the database damaged. What can I do to fix this? Fix would be preferred if fails how can i create new database to start creating new backups?Thank youPeter

Best way to attach a NAS which is switched off most of the time

Hi,I have a NAS which is supposed to be offline and switched off most of the time and which will be brought up only for rare occasions to save a monthly manual backup i.e.. It is attached to my vSphere/Windows Server/Veeam VBR-setup.I have played around with my normal steps like I normally attach repositories to Veeam, but due to the NAS being offline most of the time there are too many things any involved component may and will stumble about (Windows Server missing a disk while booting, Windows Server freezing when NAS shuts down etc.).What would be a promising approach to make the storage available to Veeam without having all the red warning lights?RegardsKarl

Removing References to a Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Server

When I try to upgrade Veeam, or when I try to apply a new license, I get a prompt about my server being managed by a Veeam Enterprise Manager server like the prompt below. But I don't have one? How can I fix this? This is a question that comes up from time-to-time here in the Community Hub as well as the Veeam Subreddit. Generally, the subject, me in today's example, has a VBR server in place, and previously had a Veeam Enterprise Manager server as well, but VEM server since been removed and VBR doesn't know it because there's still an entry referencing VEM in the VBR configuration database. Enterprise Manager is a great tool if you have multiple VBR servers to manage, or need any of it's various features such as the reporting or capability to recover lost encryption passwords, but in my case, I don't need it and the server was actually removed several years ago and I had been putting off opening a case and cleaning this up for at least a couple years, so let's get down to it.

Feature Request: Veeam Service Provider Console

If the Veeam Management Agent for a client is removed (stop managing) from the SPC, the option should be present for the Management Agent to first uninstall the Windows Backup Agent and delete all configuration from disk first (full cleanup for customer leaving). At present the Management Agent is removed but the associated Veeam Windows Backup Agent is left behind, orphaned (and in the case of a locked UI, inaccessible to the user) and then requires manual uninstallation.

CDP setup with VMware vCloud Director incompatible storage policy

We have an existing Veeam environment as a service provider and using Cloud Connect. With this we currently host cloud backups and replication for tenants, which works fine. We also have VMware vCloud Director integrated. We are just now implementing CDP into this same environment. When CDP is installed into the environment, Veeam creates a new storage policy in vSphere named “Veeam CDP Replication”. This storage policy has a requirement defined to “enable host based rules”, and the single rule that is enabled is “Replication” and Provider veecdp, which is the I/O filter name. For reasons I cannot work out as of yet, this storage policy will only see one of our datastores as compatible, and this datastore happens to be the local direct attached storage of one of the ESXi hosts in the cluster, not storage on both hosts. All other datastores show as incompatible. Our other datastores that I would like to use are NFS volumes on Linux hosts. I have set this up in a lab and demo envi

Veeam Log Analysis - Log Diving 101

I have recently seen many people posting about issues with jobs, etc. and then some of the error messages they are seeing. If you want to analyze the Veeam logs to see if you can troubleshoot the issue yourself you can follow the attached PPT file which is a Log Diving session from 2017. It is a great resource and shows you where and what to look for in the logs with examples too.Log Files are located here - C:\ProgramData\VeeamThis is where you will find the logs for the respective jobs. Like backup jobs are located in the “Backup” folder then broken down in to subfolders by job name.Hopefully this helps people when it comes to troubleshooting job failures as I have used this PPT file many times to help me prior to calling Support.
