have "borrowed" the content from the VeeamON event website before it disappears. I have extracted all the session details and saved them in markdown documents. Additionally, I have downloaded and stored all the referenced presentation files in this archive. Each session markdown provides comprehensive information including abstract, speakers, and resources for download."But why, Ben?!"Yesterday, a call for help was issued on the Vanguard Slack channel... And now we have an archive of the VeeamON sessions that took place in Miami!No point in embedding much here so head on over tohttps://github.com/benyoungnz/VeeamON-2023-ArchiveEither clone it offline, or you can navigate through the Github interface, all markdown

Hello friends, all good with you?I have backup making in a storage and in external HD's, the backup of the HD's is giving the following error: Failed to connect to Installer service.Job has failed.Can you help me to solve this problem?

I did a VeeamON review post on LinkedIn. You can find it here. Thought it would be neat to have a central place for others, who didn’t write a post on the ‘Hub’, to share a link to their own write-up so people can read them. Or actually, if you want to share your Hub post...I think that’s cool too...all in a central spot! 😊 If you feel so inclined, please post a link to your review below.Thanks all!

Hi Folks, One topic that I don’t think has been addressed or discussed is VeeamON in relation to all of our many duties and responsibilities. How do you fit it in? How do you deal with the extra stress levels? VeeamON was a success and thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended but we would be kidding ourselves if we thought that it did not add extra pressures in our daily lives. First of all some of us might have to convince the  bosses of this world that a trip to VeeamON is not, as the British would say just a “Jolly” i.e. vacation have fun only party. Yes we have fun but there is a lot of intense activity and knowledge transfer back and forth. I personally come out of VeeamON with my head exploding with new ideas and initiatives that I have gained from the sessions but even more from simple in person one on one conversations. Then there is the fact that no one is taking away the day job. Some of the folks there were having to simultan

Hi,I have a Dell Data Domain repository for local backups and i want to send some critical VMs backups to the AWS S3, to withstand disasters.So when I tried to create a scale-out using the existing Dell data domain and AWS S3, the interface told me that all tasks that use the Dell data domain will be updated to point to the the scale-out repository.Is there a way to keep the majority of backup jobs pointing to the Dell data domain and choosing some backup jobs to point to the scale-out repository?

Now we have a specific best practice for Veeam Backup Cloud Solutions: https://bp.veeam.com/vbcloud/

First time sharing, so feedback is much appreciated. There is a lot improvement possible but this short script did the trick. A while ago we came across an issue after automation made some unforeseen changes to the vm. Therefore I was tasked with the restore of a system file from +1000 vms from a specific date (not the last backup)VBR backup  Agent backups Netapp snapshot onlyThe CSV file exists out the vm name & backupjob name for the VBR & Agent restores. (extracted this from the notes in vcenter where possible)For the netapp restore the vmname was only needed.Here is the script that made my life easier:function Get-TimeStamp { return Get-Date -UFormat "[%Y-%m-%d %T]"}# Starting script# --Write-Host "$(Get-TimeStamp) - Starting script"$vmlist = import-csv C:\scripts\Veeam\restore\vmlist.csv -Delimiter ";"

IntroYou know the stories: Sometimes an incorrect keyboard layout can lead to incorrect entries. Or while coding, , you must make sure that you use the correct special characters such as ' or ", etc.  But let's focus on the main topic - Veeam ONE AlertsVeeam ONE Alert - Suspicious incremental backup sizeYou probably know this Veeam ONE Alert: Veeam ONE Alert - Suspicious incremental backup size. What many may not know is that you can configure Veeam ONE to perform remediation actions when alerts are triggered. These actions can be performed automatically or after manual approval.Veeam ONE offers the following types of remediation for alarms:Predefined actions that are configured for the most commonly used out-of-the-box alarms.

We’ve been testing our Orchestration Plan and after failover to our DR site, the certs on our vCenters were replaced and broke the connections between our DRO and vCenters. Had to refresh the connection so the DRO can take in the new certs. However, when we tried to failback to our primary site, we had the login error to vCenter. The issue was fix when we had to go into the built-in VBR and refresh the connection in VBR itself.  I would tend to think that DRO itself would be able to restore the connections within its built-in VBR and VeeamOne. Let me know what you think or if I’m missing something here. 

At VEEAMON 2023 in Miami I had the opportunity to talk about a certain topic during a Tech Talk. At first I would like to thank @HunterLAFR and @JonahMay for joining my session and making it a interactive and informal talk!For those that have missed it, I will give you in this post a recap about the content of this session. As already said, the idea was to have an informal and interactive talk about a certain topic.The topic I have chosen was : Powering Off-Site backup a at Service Provider.The session had several elements :  IntroductionAt first we introduced ourselves.Who are we, from which country, working at a partner/service provider or at a customer. 

Greetings everyone!I am very new to Veeam, did a few installs & backup/restore already with the software but still I’m way too far from understanding the full structure of the tool.Is Veeam a viable solution to backup vCenter Server Appliance? Currently the organization I joined recently has a nightly backup of the appliance. (doing a research about how Veeam can be a viable solution in long term, so I would greatly appreciate if someone can share their expertise on the matter, thank you!)

One of the many features that Veeam Backup and Replication provide to ensure an organization can successfully recover their backups every day and in case of a malware emergency is the ability to scan your backup images for latent malware before they are restored.  This goes beyond the ability to scan for possible entropic encryption of a server during backup by scanning for the malware that has caused the encryption. If an infection is detected then the restore can be aborted, or the server can be restored but not get connected to a network.Secure Restore is the name of the Veeam Backup and Replication feature that does the malware scan before restoring. Secure restore can restore Windows servers fromVMs from any hypervisor  Physical servers that are protected with Veeam Agent for Windows. From backups stored on imm

I have what I hope is a simple question. What’s the best practice for the a high availabilty SQL server for the VSPC or Veeam ONE configuration database. I see in https://www.veeam.com/kb2301 how to deploy SQL AOAG for VBR and VEM. I’m not sure if this applies to VSPC or Veeam ONE.

Hi all,I want to share with you a problem I encountered on a customer while upgrading Veeam Enterprise Manager from v11a to v12 latest release. The environment This is a simple Veeam v11a installation, VBR + EM.The customer uses Windows Defender for Endpoint (Antivirus/EDR) on the server, the exclusions are correctly set as per KB https://www.veeam.com/kb1999. The upgrade..Ouch! After successfully updating a dozen Veeam environments to v12, I start this new upgrade with the confidence "It works!".Once I get to the end of the wizard and start the update, at some point you receive the error "Failed to create website 0x80070020".

Hello guys! It’s the first time I got this error message in one of my backup jobs.

Thank you for checking out my ‘What I Wish You Knew About SureBackup’ session! If you have any questions, please feel free to reply below or create a new topic within the Veeam Community Hub, I’d love to talk to you about how you’re using, or planning on using SureBackup within your organisation or for your customers. As mentioned on the session, if you want to see my ‘Deep Dive’ into SureBackup from a recent Veeam User Group talk, you can find the YouTube video embedded below. 

Hello Everyone,Someone asked this question in Nutanix Forum:“We are running asynchronous Protection Domains and also employee Veeam backups of VMs. If we failover to the secondary site and then failback to the primary site, Veeam no longer recognizes the VMs in previously created backup jobs. We have to delete all the old backup jobs and set them up again. This is with ESXi hosts. Is that normal?”Didi anyone face this issue before and how to fix it?

What? Mount the contents of the latest restore point of a Linux VM to the very same or another VM using the data integration API. Why? Linux admins can just browse the backup contents on the local system and restore the files they need (on the CLI 😉) Advanced & complex restore scenarios Cross-restore to another server (source server and target server can be different) $machine = "esxrhel1"$machine_dns = "esxrhel1.lab.local"$machine_credentials = Get-VBRCredentials -Name "veeam" | ? { $_.Description.Contains("Veeam Linux Account") }$rp = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name $machine | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime | select -Last 1$publishSession = Publish-VBRBackupCo
