hi all… has anyone tried to restore a confidential VM instance in Google cloud? IS it possible? I can’t find anythings in Veeam documentation. thanks  

How can we see here, vCenter IP/FQDN is not possible to change inside of Veeam B&R. In my case I put the IP of vCenter server on Veeam Backup & Replication and now I’d like to change it to a hostname accordingly the DNS server name. So, first of all we need to open the Console / PowerShell on burger menu of Veeam B&R. So, at this moment we need type the command:$Servers = Get-VBRServer -name "old-name-or-ip"On my case the IP of my vCenter server is 192.168.10.100.

Sometimes when trying to restart a service in Windows, the service happens to have a status of Stopping. As a result, it ends up getting stuck and without the possibility of giving the stop and start command. Here in this case, we can see the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager service crashed: So we need to terminate the process of this service through the command prompt. For that, you need to use the following command:sc queryex <service>Now we can obtain the PID (process identifier) of the process related to the crashed service:

Regardless of industry type, meeting compliance standards is an important part of every business. Compliance consists of people, processes and technology as well as the need to train people and having the correct processes and technology in place to enforce that. Meeting compliance requirements helps avoid security violations, penalty cost and data loss. Compliance can serve as a baseline that needs to be followed to protect your business while identifying where gaps lie, especially when you consider security. Having a strong security strategy, monitoring how your IT systems perform and how your data is protected can contribute to meeting and maintaining compliance. Depending on what industry the business resides in, compliance requirements can consist of laws and regulations that are strictly enforced (consider GDPR or HIPAA) or one or more corporate rules or guidance. Whatever it may be in your situation, this blog will further discuss compliance, monitoring and security, and how

Hi i have two entities running vcenter on the same Netapp 9.8 and sharing same NFS shares. i was wondering if it was possible to use snapshots on both veeam backup server without interfering with each other. Will both instances recognise their own stuff?

Hi all, I need your help to know a specific info for the subject pillar.We are preparing proposals for a client which will have to decide a DR solution between Veeam and VmWare SRM. I know both VMware SRM and Veeam with VDRO are great products.VMware SRM is focuses on DR/BC of VM but without application aware  Veeam includes application aware consistency. I add some better features than SRM for me. Failover plan with ordered start Sure-Replica LOW RPO in 2 seconds CDP feature VDRO with dynamic documentationSo I ask you which SRM features can be better than Veeam B&R? Thanks for your reply

We run several Veeam B&R servers with multiple tenants jobs on each.Currently we manually breakdown license instanace use for each tenant.It occured to me, if we could map backup jobs to customers in Veeam Service Provider Console ( VSPC ) we could get that information quickly. In fact, we could have VSPC generate invoices for each tenant even though they are using a B&R server with other tenants.

Hello to all,I would need a advice or a suggestion what would be the best way to setup our backups.We have two sites, one in Vienna, Austria and another one is in Novi Sad, Serbia.We have Synology RS3621xs+ with 80TB on both location.Currently what we have configured is that Backups are going straight to NAS in Vienna and its being sync with Synology built in app Synology Share Sync to our NAS in Novi Sad, Serbia.I tried with Veeam Backup Copy Job through WAN Accelerator but as our biggest VM is 7TB its not that efficient.Please if you have a solution or a suggestion feel free to comment. Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve been using Agent for Windows for a long time. I’m setup to do scheduled daily Entire Computer backups to Shared Folder (on DSM) with periodic Active full backups early one morning each month, with periodic health checks one other morning each month, and with 32-days retention. It’s been rock-solid dependable. Until Windows 11, that is. On Windows 11, I’m seeing two issues:First, and most critical, is that it doesn’t seem to be respecting the periodic full backup setting or reliably respecting the 32-day retention cleanup of obsolete backups. Three months in a row now, I’ve looked the morning after the full backup was supposed to have run and found only the incremental ran--or even it didn’t run (see next issue). I’ve done full backup on request from the UI. This morning for my laptop I have at least 71 backups, full or incremental, with 33 incrementals newer than the second oldest full. The oldest full is 12/25/22--69 days old, with newer full sets on 1/30/23 (33 days) a

CDP Policy of 5 minutes and above  - must have a VMware STD license because of access to vSphere APIs for I/O filtering  ?

Today we updated our cloud connect server to v12. Once that was complete we upgraded two of our managed clients running Veeam backup and replication to v12.My issue is once the Tenant side was updated to v12 I am no longer able to connect to the service provider. I believe this is the related log…[14.03.2023 16:07:00.582] <117> Error        A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respondBut this is only happening from tenants that updated to v12, all other tenants running v11 are able to connect without issue.We have a support case open, Case # 05943021

Further to my earlier question about backing up between networks, I tried to start removing the Veeam components that are installed on the Hyper-V hosts.  One of the hosts is being a real pig and will not remove with error ‘Connecting to installer service Error: The RPC server is unavailable.’  On checking, the Veeam Installer Service is not running and will not start with an errors 7009 and 7000.  Trying to delete the service as per KB2263: Failed to start service ‘VeeamDeploySvc’ - The system cannot find the file specified. does not work either!  Any suggestions on how to manually remove Veeam components from this host? Slight curveball is that it is Windows Server Core 2019.Thanks!

Running the https://docs.kasten.io/tools/k10_primer.sh  for Kasten 10 I eventually get Validating Provisioners: driver.longhorn.io:  Is a CSI Provisioner  -  OK  CSI Provisioner doesn't have VolumeSnapshotClass  -  Error  Storage Classes:    longhorn      Valid Storage Class  -  OK I’m running Longhorn 1.2.4 and according to this (https://kubernetes-csi.github.io/docs/drivers.html) it looks like I need v1.5 for a CSI driver? But Longhorn only goes up to 1.4.0. How do I get this rectified? This product looks extremely useful for our environment.

Hi all,if you are planning to connect your Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to your Veeam ONE 12 infrastructure and start monitoring this type of backup as well, one thing to keep in mind is the license versions of the two products.Below the licensing-level compatibility matrix:https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/one/deployment/license_types.html?ver=120 As for the actual connection, in my case I ran into the following issue:

Is that any way to trigger notification when backup job start?

Hello Everyone,I pass the VMCE exam today. Anyone can help me how can I get the certification? I need to submit the certifcation as documents one of my upcoming project.Thanks in Advanced.

In very restricted environments, What is the best tool to test required open ports for Veeam distributed components requirements?

My backup repository is an iSCSI mount from some NAS which can take snapshots on iSCSI LUN I’m thinking about a very simple backup plan with 30 days retention, and monthly snapshot and replicate the iSCSI LUN. If I need to restore something e.g. 3 months ago, can I just dismount the current repository, mount the 3 months old iSCSI snapshot, rescan it and restore files from it?   

Due to other things pending the outcome of our V12 testing, I figured I’d just update V12 in production :) Worked great, no issues, my backup speeds actually look fantastic too. Still on SQL, most likely going to migrate to full blown SQL servers this week as we have enterprise licenses. I don’t think there are any advantages to postgres, but I could be wrong. The new license for file to tape is what I am currently investigating as we archive a ton of data and don’t want any surprises.
