Dynamic backup job scope for Nutanix on Veeam Backup and Replication v12.2.

For everyone who uses Veeam to backup Nutanix, now in version 12.2 it is possible to have the "Dynamic backup job scope" It leverage Prism Central VM categories (a.k.a., “tags”) to facilitate automatic VM inclusion into backup jobs based on Prism Central VM category affiliation. Definition of category from Prism Central Infrastructore Guide: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Prism-Central-Guide-vpc_2024_2:ssp-ssp-categories-manage-pc-c.html A category is a grouping of entities into a key-value pair. Typically, new entities are assigned to a category based on some criteria. Policies can then be tied to those entities that are assigned (grouped by) a specific category value. For example, you might have a Department category that includes values such as engineering, finance, and HR. In this case, you could create one backup policy that applies to engineering and HR and a separate (more stringent) backup policy that applies to just finance. Categories allow you to

Pre-freeze/post-thaw script

Hello Veeam Community, maybe someone can Help me.I have an Virtual Machine that i need to backup. Before i do that, i need to shutdown the VM,create Backup and then Run the Vm again. I thought i can do that with Powershell script, but i run in an error.Script finished execution with exit code -1. When the Job starts, i can see that the VM shut down, then Veeam take 10 minutes to try to backup and run in the error. As i understood, Veeam should run the PS Script before the Job and when he´s done do it again. If i Run the Script in the Powershell console, then i have no problems. Did someone have an idea? Thanks and greetings

Wasabi and SOSAPI

Veeam v12, does Wasabi support SOSAPI as I’m trying to create an archive tier. It looks like SOSAPI has to be used with archive. Is this correct?

Veeam 100 Summit and Hardened Repository with immutability

t’s been a few weeks since I returned from the most excellent Veeam 100 summit, this time in Berlin! I’m lucky enough to have been a Veeam Vanguard since 2021, and this was the first time the summit happened in Berlin. The last time I was in Berlin was at least 15 years ago. In this post I am not going to sum up the summit directly; There are some blog post from fellow Veeam Vanguards and Legends I link at the end of the post. Instead, I want to focus on the new version of Veeam Hardened Repository (VHR), that was introduced during the summit. have set up VHR in my home lab before, and decided to load the ISO directly into the home lab from Berlin, because….why not;-) One big change is that VHR is becoming official…like production official. VHR will be supported by Veeam, so you can open a support case if you run into issues. Here is the statement from Anton Gostev, Chief Product Officer at Veeam. “Support This build is now a subject to Veeam Experimental Support. This means this build

Huawei Cloud - Veeam

Hello All, I will start using Huawei Cloud soon. According to my department, I will deal with backup and replications. Does anyone know how Huawei cloud integrates with Veeam? Can I replicate my on-prem server to Huawei cloud with Veeam? On the backup side, how is the backup again?

Slow Read of C drive SSD when starting backup

I realise there’s one topic from a couple years back which is close to this, but so far the potential fixes there didn’t apply or help. I’ve had a backup task now for around a year, 2x SSDs (1x500GB, 1x1TB) from a windows machine. At some point in the past month just after a client update, the read speed of the C drive has slowed down to ~8MB/s from a previous read speed of 150MB/s+. The disk is at under 50% capacity, and from Task Manager CPU is at ~25%, RAM (32GB) is at 60%, the disk fluctuates between 0% and 20% utilization, with the disk transfer rate at 0, peaking at about 125MB/s once every 12 seconds. The disk is about 4 years old, so not new, but also doesn’t show any issues, `winsat disk` shows the below: This is puzzling me, so any advice would be great.

Physical Dc Protection

Hello Veeam Gnus ;) Got myself totally confused so can someone unpick this for me? I need to protect a single physical DC which has all FSMO roles. So guessing I don’t need a Protection group as its 1 computer. So do I just create a Veeam Agent job and add the DC ? But can I use a gMSA ? I want to use the Explorer and I am sure I read that you can’t use a gMSA with explorers ? In which case I need to create a domain account and add to BuiltIn Administrators group in AD ? (InfoSec are not going to like that !) Presume I also will not need a GiP because the Agent job will install the Agent on the DC which will remain persistent ? Have I got that all right ? I’m seeing double after reading so much ! Thanks Guys Phil

A #LadyVMCE in Berlin – my Veeam 100 Summit Recap – a different perspective on the summit

It has been few weeks traveling for me, but I couldn't skip the invitation from community managers to share our experience at the Veeam 100 Summit Those who know me are familiar with my physical limitation and how my hearing starts to perceive distorted and incompressible sounds when discussions shift to technical topics, so my experience, I am sure, is quite different from the rest of participants. First. What is Veeam 100 Summit? Veeam 100 summit get together our most active community members (Vanguard, Legends MVP). This year the most active this VUG Leaders were invited for the very first time. What happens in Veeam 100 Summit? During the summit, Veeam has the chance to engage face-to-face with community members, sharing exciting products, news, that are not publicly available while receiving immediate and spontaneous feedback. You might wonder “Oh ok? So what were you doing there doing there if you are not a Veeam Legend or MVP, and not a product expert?”. Well I am in charge of t

Better late than never Berlin Recap

Being my second Summit, I was more prepared traveling half way around the world this time, and excited to see everyone I previously met in Prague and Miami. DAY 1 On Day 1 I received my swag and checked in. The trophy was such a awesome surprise! My nephews wanted to play with it but I had to explain it’s on my desk because it isn’t a toy. The jacket fits perfect and I’ve already put the screwdriver to use. Due to passport issues I had to book my travel last minute and couldn’t get a spot in the VRO workshop. I didn’t bring a laptop but would in the future as spots do open up. As I’m looking at a quote for VRO right now it would have been a great workshop. DAY 2 To say I’m excited for V12.3 and V13 is an understatement. Some of the new Veeam ONE features are going to be game changers for me. I won’t dive too deep as there was some Yellow and Red content but I’m sure Veeam will be releasing some teasers shortly. If not VeeamON is going to be exciting next year. Finding out we can test o

My Veeam100 Summit Berlin Experience

This year marked the 5th year being priviledged enough to attend the Veeam100 Summit. Since my 1st attendance in 2018, the venue has normally been held in Prague, CZ. The Product Strategy Team decided to change things up a bit and hold this year’s event in Berlin, DE; that would be Deutschland , or Germany, for those who use Duolingo 🙂 . With the event being held in a new city, and getting a preview of some of the content decided upon to be shared, I was really looking forward to the event this year! The Summit was held the last week of October. And personally, I love going this time of year to central Europe as the Fall colors are at or slightly past peak color. Fall in Berlin I got to Berlin a day and a half early so I can peruse around the city to take in some sites I’ve longed to see since my youth – Berlin Wall Memorial, Brandenburg Gate, Holocaust Memorial, etc. It was so surreal viewing the Berlin Wall Memorial. In the middle walking area there were pictures of Germans who lost

VRO and VBR server

hi all…. I have question about VRO and VBR placement For DR to cloud part, I refer to the architecture below However, what if I need to cater both backup and DR to cloud simultaneously? Our customer is having on-prem VBR server, all jobs and policy are running on-prem. While they want to explore the possibility of DR to Azure, in case the production site is down, when on-prem VBR server is gone While the VBR server on Azure does not have any data, the failover seems can’t be success Any workaround for this scenario?

Cyber Security Month - Synology C2 Object Storage - Initial Configuration

As part of Cyber Security Month I was afforded the opportunity to test out a 1TB C2 Object Storage account from Synology. I have partnered with them having 2 NAS devices that I have blogged about (DS920+ and DS923+). You can check out my blog at the link as well as below. Synology C2 Object Storage Synology C2 – Object Storage Setup It is CyberSecurity month, so I am writing a few blogs on Synology and using C2 Object Storage for backups. I have been fortunate enough to have a good relationship with both Synology and Nick Kozup, which has allowed me to get a 1TB subscription to the Synology C2 – Object Storage for doing some testing with backups, NAS backup/replication and many other things that utilize object storage. I have already blogged about the two NAS devices I have been sent (DS920+ and DS923+), which I use daily for my home lab, backups, and many other things. My account was activated today, and when I logged in to the interface, I was greeted with an empty slate to create bu

Fast storage and configuration.

I connected a new SAN and 2 servers that will be used for Veeam. These are just some “Hero numbers” of reads and intend to do a writeup of design with proper benchmarks in the future. When you have an environment with a large quantity of data, you still need to be able to restore it quickly or run instant restores while you migrate to production. For a preliminary test I connected 2 servers to a single SAN and created a few volumes to run IOMeter. 23.9k MBPS = 23.9GBps =191.2 Gbps. with sub millisecond latency @ 240k IOPS I am very happy. There is always a bottle neck to account for in design. Usually it’s budget 🤣. Currently my limitation is the amount of of servers/ports at this point. Specifically 32Gb fiber ports as they are all running at 100%. If I had another server or more ports available on the repositories, I have no doubt this thing would be hitting close to 36GB/s. Storage snapshots from production along with fast networking from proxies to repositories is critical when de

VBR v13 Tech Preview insights and what else we already know

Two weeks have passed since the Veeam 100 Summit in Berlin. This time the grateful members of this select community were given facts about the upcoming version 13 of VBR and also the opportunity to test the Linux version via an OVA ready to install in a VMware environment. ​@HunterLAFR already showed us some initial screenshots here: LAB- Deploying VBR13 – on Linux – OVA! | Veeam Community Resource Hub I’d like to add a summary of what I found most interesting. Before you ask: No, we don’t have a release date yet. There is still some 12.x version(s) to go before. 😎 But, what we see with v13 seems already quite complete when looking at the interface. As ​@HunterLAFR has already shown in his screenshots, we have to options to access the GUI. There will be a new WebUI. This directly greets us with a nice and colorful dashboard. Obviously, this is all static demo date right now. But looks very promising still and will finally deliver the single pane-of-glass view onto your backup infrastr

Network Bonding with VHR ISO

Has anyone setup bonding with the VHR ISO? This probably isn’t VHR ISO specific but I thought I’d give it a good try. Eventually the server this is going on will become my primary repo to replace the NAS my backups are going to currently. With that said, I’m using two Dell S4112T switches in a VLT configuration with a 40Gb QSFP to 4x 10Gb SFP+ breakout cables providing a 10Gb link from each switch. Server is a Dell PowerEdge R550 with Broadcom 57414 Dual Port 10/25 GbE SFP28 OCP NIC. I’ve configured a port channel on the switches and configured an 802.3ad (Mode 4) bond on the server but watching pings run while the server is just sitting at the configuration in the installer, I’ve seen it drop a few packets here and there for a while and then it comes back up. Looking at the switches when this happens, both of the interfaces and the port channel are showing up/up. Bond configuration is as below (aside from the MTU being set to 9000 after I took the screenshot, but the effect was the sa
