Hi All,I have been using BR for many years and backup (with ease) 30 servers and 110Tb of files via the network. Servers to disk then tape and the 110TB direct to tape (twin LTO8’s)The 110Tb system is a VM that I do not backup - too big (and in Veeam format), so I only back up the files 50Tb and 60Tb drives as two jobs. Its monthly weekend work so no big hassle (with daily increments). Working well.(I back the files not the VM as it would need another 110Tb to restore to - which I dont have and if I wanted a file or folder I would have to restore the whole VM etc + time   110Tb on Dual LTO 8 still is 35 hrs). Add to that I dont have 100Tb Veeam Repo size either ….With the licence changes (based on 500Gb per licence ..this is now becomes cost ineffective ...approx. addition 190 or so instance licences required on top of the 40 I have). Just cant afford it.So my question is:Can I remove the tape solution from Veeam BR12 and use t

Hi all,i recently did an upgrade on a customer site to V12. Within our legacy Backup Copy jobs, i could select the “Objects to process” by a VMware vSphere Tag, per example by “business-critical”.Within a new Backup Copy Job (both periodic and immediate), i have only the option to add Objects by “From backups” and “From jobs”.With tags, we had the option to filter the VMs that are processed very dynamically.Am i the only one, who is missing this feature?  screenshot for example:  thanks and best regardsMarkus

Protecting DB2 servers with Veeam Backup and Replication is pretty straightforward. The IBM DB2 can be protected with the following Veeam jobs:Classic VM backup jobs Veeam  Agent for Linux (VAL) jobs Enhanced NAS backup jobsTo ensure that the DB2 DBs are in a consistent state, IBM DB2 commands will need to be called to either create a native DB2 database backup or to put database(s) in a quiesced state so that a clean application backup of the database can be made. DB2 has several ways to perform backups from the CLI that make backups of the database reasonably simple.Native flat file backup can be performed against an offline or online DB. The options include using full, incremental, and differential backups A simple pause and resume of the DB2 writer that can be used to store (and VMware) snapshots that Veeam Backup and Replication can leverage. The ability to leverage storage arra

 I had M365 backups working flawlessly and then needed to switch repositories. Somewhere in there, something broke. So I ended up removing the repo, removing Veeam M365 backup, cleaning up all app residue and re-installing from scratch, since this was a new, small instance and I just wanted it to be clean.Now, every time I try to run a backup against the same recreated Org, the job will connect to the org, start resolving the objects, it finds the objects to backup but never actually receives any data. Shortly thereafter (30 seconds or so), the proxy service crashes and the portal shows status “disconnected” and Details “Job was interrupted”.I have even tried putting it on a different VM and the same behavior persists. The only element that I haven’t recreated is the O365 implementation. I have also recreated the Azure apps/certs each time as well.The logs don’t seem to show much. Below is the end of the latest log as well as the console view and some eve

I can’t see replicaset workloads in K10 dashboard which are in a namespace in my cluster. But it displays all other workloads (StatefulSets, Deployments).Any thoughts ?Thank you.

I have two NVMe SSD-s. One has Windows 10 installed, the other one has Linux Mint 21.1. I boot from the linux one, it has an entry to windows as well.When I am backing up the linux system with veeam, I have a warn: The linux partitions looks like this: szabkel@mint10900:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1[sudo] password for szabkel: Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 931,51 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectorsDisk model: Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytesSector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytesI/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytesDisklabel type: gpt

Looking to build your own chatbot but don’t want to break the bank on hardware and keen on some privacy ? I’ve created 2 blogposts on how you can create your own AI LLM powered chatbot.The first post is live and tells you how to get to your source data. I gave it a little twist and used the transcripts of several YouTube instructional videos to train the model.Interested, remarks, comments ?Read it all here: https://integriservices.blogspot.com/2023/06/create-your-own-private-offline-ai-q.html My second post will become available later this week. Then I’ll take you on the tour how to deploy your own private chatbot and train it with the data we’ve collected before. 

We’re trying to do a rolling OS upgrade of two physical servers in a Window Failover Cluster. The roles/resources are two Storage Space disks holding >20Tb of data each. When we add a new node to the cluster, Veeam is insisting on a Full backup of each shared disk, which is not ideal. According to documentation at the link below, this appears to be “by design” but this is very painful and our only option is to significantly expand the size of our backup target. Is there any way to skip this full backup requirement? We do weekly synthetic fulls, so I added an additional one to the schedule but it still insisted on an actual full, not synthetic. From a technical standpoint, I could understand needing to reset or ignore CBT and do a scan of the whole disk, but this is the only backup software I’ve used that arbitrarily requires a full backup when cluster node changes happen. Does this affect other cluster workloads like SQL or VMs? I had planned on moving

The final week of June has arrived! As we mentioned earlier, we had made a commitment to conduct a poll to determine the top blog of the month, which will be featured on the homepage during the first week of July.For this month, we have a special edition in which we will consider blogs from both June and May. This is because we had skipped our May edition due to VeeamON Miami. We want to ensure that all the deserving blogs from both months get a chance to be featured.Our selection comprises of three blogs that were featured in the weekly recap, as well as three additional blogs that were not mentioned. Please help us determine the best by voting on your favorite one by June 30th .   Good luck to all participants! 😊@MicoolPaul , @benyoung

DemoLet's rip the band-aid off, as I know most of you really just want to see it right?!  My ObjectivesBuild a Chatbot interface, nothing new here, but it's a hot topic right now Use the Veeam KB data as the primary data source,(the clean data didn't exist, but i built my own API for it as well as the scraping engine... you can use it too) Learn about embeddings, using the OpenAI models because they're super easy (and certainly at the time) to interact with Learn about Vector databases, I used Pinecone but there are like 20 more since Feb... lots of funding for startups in this space already Learn, have fun along the way, share the knowledgeI really

Hi Folks, I have someone who ran out of space on their Linux immutable repo, they are asking to remove immutability on the fs (chatter -i) as root. I am wondering what Veeam DB will think? and what other issues might arise. They seem to say they have done it before then just rescanned the repo? 

In the blog post below it states the sources that support the backup of Direct to Object but do all of these also support the restore of the data Direct from Object without having to go through a Gateway server or Proxy?  Specifically when S3-compatible storage is being utilised.Virtual machines backup (VMware,HyperV,AHV...) NAS backup Backup copy SQL, Oracle Configuration backup Veeam agent 

Hello guys 😄Hope everyone are well ! In my side I'm in vacation 🤙. I wanted to share with you some tests done with the beta of Veeam v12 (build 12.0.0.817) and the incredible new feature backup directly to Object Storage.Object StorageFor my test I used Wasabi as cloud object storage. You can find really great posts about Wasabi:Wasabi is now available in the list of providers when you want to add an object storage repositoryWe have less information to enter, it's appreciable

Hi Veeam Community!We are looking to migrate our backups from a standard repository to an SOBR in order to utilise Wasabi storage for capacity tier. We current have backups jobs storing to local storage repository with 30 day retention, with copy jobs to a another backup repository at one of our other sites for offsite/archival backup purposes. Local repository is around 30TB and ‘offsite/archive’ repository is around 100TB. Ideally we would like to move the primary repository to performance tier of an SOBR and remote repository to capacity tier. Is this a supported migration, or will the backup copy job part cause us issues? Ideally we would prefer not to have to create new jobs, and maintain backup history. We are running B&R V12. Any insight or tips on how to achieve the above would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!Cameron 

Hi everyone!I have new Vms window 2019 serve. it is new and I don’t understand why it complete with Warning. on the same Veeam application I have more than 12 other Vms  which have larger file and alot programs. but all of the completed success. but this new VM show warning:6/26/2023 12:38:44 PM :: Unable to perform guest file system indexing: Failed to install via Deployment Svc

Hello guys,A quick question about the upgrade process for a periodic backup copy job.I have a backup copy job to a NAS repository with Per-Vm option set. To upgrade the chain I have to create a new job and map the backup, during mapping Veeam will synthesize full backup from the current backup and build a per-vm chains for every object.In the case where the repository it’s not a ReFS/XFS partition, Veeam will recreate a Full Backup and I must have enough space on the disk partition right?

For a hardware server (no vmware) I use the Agent for Windows and backup to a local NAS. I added a cloud backup job to Wasabi which works but I noticed it disabled the schedule to the local NAS. I turned it back on and made sure the times do not overlap. Is that the only way to have a local and cloud copy with the Agent, two separate jobs? I like local for speed when restoring, cloud is only in case of disaster...

We are looking to install Enterprise Manager and was wondering where the best place was to install it.  We have one VBR server with less than 100 instances to backup.  I have a Server setup for Orchestrator, can I put it on the same Server, or should I stand up a new separate one?

Hi,is it possible to use immutable repository like this repository from local disks RAID-5 on a physical windows 2019 server that have Veeam V12 installedand a Linux ubuntu 22.04 64bit on as virtual machine. thanks

IntroductionOne of the standout features of Veeam Backup & Replication is SureBackup, which allows for the automated testing and verification of backups. SureBackup creates isolated environments, called Virtual Labs, to ensure the recoverability of your virtual machines. During a SureBackup session, it sometimes would be helpful to connect the virtual machines to the Internet  By default, the VMs within the Virtual Lab run in an isolated environment and do not have access to the Internet. If you want the VMs in the Virtual Lab to access the Internet, select the Allow proxy appliance to act as an Internet proxy for virtual machines in this lab check box. See  Setup Proxy Appliance and Veeam KB1165.With the HTTP proxy settings in plac

Hi all, Recently I started experimenting with XFS savings calculation. I’ve seen some good work from the community and therefor I want to say, thanks for all people that played with xfs_bmap, filefrag, and especially mweissen13 with some good idea’s on how to find the overlapping intervalsI’m sharing here what I believe is a working implementation:https://github.com/tdewin/ttozz/tree/main/sortedfragmentsSo first of all, I’ve split up the work in 2 parts:Creating frag files: these files are basically filefrag output but reordered on volume level offset. This is required to find the overlapping intervals (shared blocks). Notice that filefrag order the fragments on file le

i would like to know that, can we make multiple veeam servers with one backup repository only.scenario :I have 3 data centers with installed veeam server on each site and i want to backup all of my workload such as VM and physical server in data centers to DR directly without putting any backup repository on data centers
