Enable Snapshot-Only Jobs for Secondary Storage Array for Pure Storage FlashArray with This Post-Job Script

VBR integration for storage systems supports several useful features that optimize backup performance. Unfortunately for those systems built on the Universal Storage API (USAPI) some of those features are not yet available. One specific feature that is missing is the ability to orchestrate array-based snapshots on a secondary storage array.I’ve written a PowerShell script to be used as a post-job VBR script along with snapshot-only jobs for Pure Storage FlashArray which will replicate Veeam created array snapshots to a secondary FlashArray. It will also ensure that those snapshots are visible in the VBR console and available for recovery tasks including Instant VM recovery, Guest Files recovery, and Application Item Recovery. Download Invoke-PfaSendSnapAfterVBRJob.ps1 from GitHub. Detailed setup instructions. This script has been designed to work both with VBR v10 VeeamPSSnapIn as well as the brand new VBR v11 PowerShell Toolkit.

Will v11 be even better? (Youtube)

I’m sorry, no v11 content here…I wanted to share this video on v10 which I’ve found in the Veeam channel; although it’s almost a year old I hadn’t seen it before. After viewing this video, the question is: Will v11 be even better?

Veeam v11 Enterprise Manager Upgrade Issue

Afternoon! I raised a case with Veeam about the RTM that I don’t believe has made it into the GA in time so thought I’d mention here.Scenario:Latest Veeam v10a in a distributed deployment, with dedicated roles to each server. Attempting to upgrade to v11.Issue:When upgrading Enterprise Manager to v11 when it is the sole Veeam product installed, the main setup executable from the v11 ISO will incorrectly report that only v9.5u4b and above are supported for upgrading to v11.Workaround:After a discussion with Veeam support this is purely an issue with the main setup launcher reading an old attribute (this wasn’t elaborated on further). It is still supported to browse to the Enterprise Manager section of the ISO and run the installer from there. It will detect it is a supported upgrade path and install as expected.

How to fallback through Object storage with Veeam?

Hello,In this article, we will take a look at the scenario of Restore via S3 Compatible Object Storage. Part 1 - Controlling Our Cloud BackupsWe have successfully backed up our local.Thanks to the Scale-out Backup Repository capability, we have successfully sent the backup we have taken to our local to S3 Compatible Object Storage, which we added in the first document.We check the Backup status we have taken for the test environment from the Backup> Disk section on the left, the point we have to pay attention to in the Repository section is included in the 'Scale-out Backup Repository'.In the Home Menu, we enter the Backup> Infrastructure menu at the bottom left.We can view the size of our backup file that we have sent to the S3 Compatible Object Storage storage pool we haveadded in the Backup Repositories area.Part 2 - Restoring from S3 Compatible Object StorageWe will restore the backup that we sent to S3 as read-only using the Immutable feature to our environment, first we ent

KB vs KiB, GB vs GiB, …

Because this article caught my eye and the topic is still important.https://blocksandfiles.com/2020/12/04/the-terrible-tib-gib-and-pib-game/You probably know, there is difference in the way hardware and software vendors quote their capacities.Normally hardware vendors use KB, MB, GB, TB, … Here 1 KB means 10^3 byte (base 10) = 1000 bytes (k stands for kilo which means 1000)Software vendors instead use KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, … Here 1 KiB means 2^10 byte (base 2) = 1024 bytes. As you can see, size-difference with KB vs. KiB is quite small: 24 byte (2,3 % less capacity with KB)When it comes to greater unites, difference is getting larger:1 GB = 10^9 vs 1GiB = 2^30 = 1 073 741 824 --> ~ 7 % less capacity with GB 1 TB = 10^12 vs 1 TiB = 2^40 = 1 099 511 627 776 --> ~ 9 % less capacity with TB (~90 GiB) The greater the unit, the greater the difference between base of 10 and 2.I (quickly and dirty) created a small graph to show percentage increase over units1=KB, 2=GB, 3=TB, ...Another out

[New] Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup for AWS v3

Greetings friends, today I bring you a new entry about Grafana and Veeam, which I'm sure you'll like and I hope you'll put it in your collection. Veeam has recently announced Veeam Backup for AWS v3. Among the many features included in the product, in v3 it is possible to protect RDS and VPC, as well as EC2 instances, of course, one is a public RESTFul API that has been updated to v1.1, and I thought it might be a good idea to create a Dashboard for this solution.Today, I am pleased to bring you a complete and finished Dashboard for monitoring Veeam Backup for AWS, with no limit of VMs, jobs or Repositories.You will be able to see that there is a Map inside the Dashboard, and that is because I consider very important to be able to look globally and see what regions we have with unprotected VMs. Dashboard for Veeam Backup for AWSWhen we finish the entry we will have something similar to that Dashboard that will allow you to visualize:I leave you a video summary if you want to see a litt

Multi cloud backup

Hi guys One of our customer migrated all his workloads to Azure. For backup compliance he defined all workloads have to be backed up daily to AWS S3 immutable object store.So we have Veeam Backup for Azure for IaaS and NAS Backup for Azure File Share.Now my struggle is real. When I backup the file share with NAS Backup I’m not able to write the data to AWS on daily base, only “Keep previous file version” works. I used a scale-out backup repository with capacity tier the s3 immutable store and the setting “Copy backups to object store as soon as they are created” and “Move backups to object storage as they age out the operational restore window” but nothing happened.Also the Azure IaaS Backup Copy job does not work as expected. As backup repository I need to specify a scale-out repo because directly to object store is not possible. With same scale-out repo as above the local stored elements will not be deleted. Does anyone have any experience and/or suggestions?Kind regardsDaniel

Create least privilege VBO Azure AD applications without using VBO

Here’s a script I wrote to create Azure AD applications for VBO usage aside from creating the app from within VBO itself.I experienced that this is not always easy to do (Global Admin using VBO to create an app, or having the Global Admin read the documentation and create the application with the right permissions, etc… on his own), so I hope my script can help here. Check out my blog article on it at VBO365: Create Azure AD applications automatically with least priviliges – Z8NAnd the script itself is available on Github: veeam/vbo-create-azure-ad-app.ps1 at master · StefanZi/veeam (github.com)

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 Calculator

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 Calculator(Download: VBO-Calculator-Community-1Download)Welcome back after a longer break due to holidays, personal changes and some challenges over the last weeks.As one of the main responsible german Systems Engineer for Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 (VBO) I received a lot of questions and requests regarding the right sizing for a VBO-environment as well as for the “new” Object Storage Repository feature, which is available since version 4.Wouldn’t it be great if we had a tool for this ? For sure ! But let us first build up some tension. Before we concentrate on object storage I will give you some important information for your general VBO-Sizing. The SizingWhat do you need for a proper sizing?To get some realistic numbers, we collect the informations per service, because in the background each service has its own compression capabilities and it does make some difference later in the cost calculation.So we do need the amount of users per

Veeam Backup for Office 365: Update 5b released

Update 5b for Veeam Backup for Office 365 was released yesterday, which I’ve discovered from @AnthonySpiteri’s blog:https://anthonyspiteri.net/patch-backup-microsoft-office-365-v11/https://www.veeam.com/kb4092Besides the preparation for the upcoming v11 VBR release I would like to highlight this resolved issue:Under certain conditions retention policy mistakenly cleans actual Exchange backup data from Jet-based repositories set with snapshot-based retention of less than 2 years. This issue applies to Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office versions 3.0 – 4c. I’m not sure at what conditions this could happen but it sounds rather serious.

What is Innovation to you?

I want to draw your attention to a recent piece of news about the Veeam Innovation Awards (VIA).This is a really important thing to Veeam, and I recommend you read JBuff’s post: https://www.veeam.com/blog/innovation-awards-2021-nominations.html The important of innovation is rather attractive as it closes the gap between the art of the possible and the stark realities of the criticality of data that Veeam protects. Whether you are a Veeam customer or a Veeam partner you can nominate for the VIA’s and raise the profile of Innovation in your view. I’d really encourage you to think about nominations, this isn’t just a news effort, its a legit review of the offerings and implementations we see. In fact, the Product Strategy team (the team I’m on) gets to vote on the entries! I really enjoy that task.What is also more interesting is the hardware. Odd coming from a software company, but the hardware of the prize. Previous VIA winners have trophies like this! Begin your nomination here!https

Resume of 1st VUG Brazil of 2021

Hello everyone! So, last week we have our first VUG of the year. It was a such good webinar that the principal subject was around the best features about data protection. If it weren't good enough, we still had the presence of none other than @Rick Vanover and @Kseniya. To start the event Rick and Kseniya talk about our Veeam Community Resource Hub and after this, they introduced how Veeam Legends works and what is the benefits to become a Legend. It was so nice listen them and I felt myself so counfortable with their words. Rick and Kseniya look like Batman and Robin of Veeam because they are very much involved one with other about Veeam Community. Seriously both of you are awesome!! After this amazing introduce we start our event completely in portuguese and @CarlosXGomes talked about backup of Office 365. Continuing with VUG Brazil Marcio Freitas made a perfect presentation about NAS Backup and all possible subjects around of this theme. So, to finish it Leonardo Ferreira talked
