After my last post highlighting the Veeam software that reaches end of support in 2022, I wanted to expand this further and discuss software that Veeam works with that will be approaching end of life in 2022. Why does this matter when I’m just trying to protect the data?Times change, and software changes with them, until it’s no longer supported. At any point, a patch to an operating system, a .NET framework update, or anything else really, could end up with the software no longer being backed up properly, or not working at all in production. Without valid support there’s no process to get a fix, and whilst your backup software may still be in support with Veeam, if the vendor won’t fix the problem, it’s time to start panicking.With this in mind, lets explore the software & operating systems being declared end of life in 2022 so we can start planning our upgrades/migrations if necessary. MicrosoftWe may as well start with one of, or potentially the largest software vendor in the wo

Hi,Though I know the answer but still curious to know, Can anyone migrated backed up data from HP Data Protector to Veeam Backup & Replication?  Is there any automation/Tool available to perform this? Secondly, if my VBR 9.5 Tape Server is running on Windows 2008 & I am installing a new VBR V11a on Windows 2019 with new tape server & Drives.  Does new VBR V11 will be able to read the files from old tapes? Regards,Sunny

Hi all,I have an issue on our Veeam ONE server and I could not find the root cause of performance charts delay. The server has been upgraded to Veeam ONE v11 recently and the issue happened after upgrade.Deployment type: Advanced Scalability Deployment modeDatabase: External SQL Server 2019There is no performance issue on the server. Monitoring server and database server are placed on Flash datastore. Could you please help me to resolve the issue if there is misconfiguration?

Hi Everyone, The countdown to World Backup Day 2022 continues!If you missed the previous Fun Friday post/game then check it out here! I want to stick with the fun theme here and have a new game. I’ll provide a scenario and you can choose what type of backup YOU would want, and leave a comment as to the why below! There’s no right or wrong here, just perspectives. What has worked for you? What gave you buyers remorse and made you want to choose something else? Scenario:You’re responsible for data protection in your organisation and have asked for budget to get some form of immutability or airgapped backup in-place. You have only one chance to get your budget approved and need to justify why you believe it is best. What do you go for? Why? Infrastructure:You have a simple three-node vSphere cluster running 20VMs, total production size of 10TB. This is connected to the internet via a 1Gbps link with a 1Gbps MPLS connection to a DR site, this has three-nodes and no production workloads. Yo

Here’s a collection of scripts that can be used to automate the setup and configuration of the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Restore Portal. These scripts can be used for VB365 environments protecting a single Microsoft 365 Organization and for those with multiple Microsoft 365 Organizations in a multi-tenant setup (like in a Service Provider scenario).For more detailed information, please follow the VeeamHub link:https://github.com/VeeamHub/powershell/tree/master/VB365-RestorePortalSetup

Hi,Does anyone know how to get Veeam to copy the Full backup + incrementals to tape daily? As in each day a new tape has both.  Alternativly I would be happy for it to create a synthetic full to tape each day.Ideally i dont want to do a reverse incremental incase they decide to go to cloud as well at a later date.Veeam just seems to refuse to backup files it already has on another tape! Thanks for the help.

Dear All, I would just like to know, if I want to protect my Azure workload using Veeam backup for Azure by downloading the preconfigured appliance available in marketplace, Can I use Veeam universal licenses file onto it. I dont want to create any VBR Server either on-premise or hybrid. Any help or support is highly appreciated. Regards,Sunny

I’m not just talking tech, I mean ANYTHING! Bonus points for the best & silliest answers! For me, I wish I could backup & revert my car!

Just a quick reminder to everyone that all good things must end at some point. The following products will no longer be supported by Veeam from the 1st January 2022.Veeam Backup & Replication 9.x Veeam ONE 9.x Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator 2.0 (Formerly known as Veeam Availability Orchestrator) Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows v3 Veeam Agent for Linux v3Also in the near future is the end of support for the following products:Veeam Service Provider Console v3 (March 2022) Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v3 (April 2022) Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v4 (November 2022)You may be thinking “I haven’t seen an update for a long time for these products, I thought it was end of life anyway”. That’s because Veeam have a two-stage sunset policy for support. Stage One: End of FixWhen a Veeam product reaches end of fix, no further updates/patches or hotfixes are created for this as the general rule. In extreme case-by-case circumstances, an exception may be made. But you c

Hey guys, I require your suggestionIf I have stored backups in local repo in NTFS format and later realized it should be in refs, what should be the next step?Should I format the current repo into Refs or I add another repo of Refs and move the backups?

For those that use Veeam VCC there was an online reference by Luca Dell’Oca which was a reference architecture and best practice on setting up VCC.  He has now updated the online resource to v11 so you can check it out here - Veeam Cloud Connect 11 Reference Architecture - Veeam Cloud Connect 11 Reference Architecture (vccbook.io) Very great reference for those in the Service Provider realm.

Can a support ticket be raised without providing a support ID ? 

As part of the audit findings, the auditor is looking for the history or evidence that Veeam Backup and Replication were being patch regularly. Is there a way I can extract this?
