Instant NAS Recovery and Machine Learning / Multi Engine Malware

The ability to perform backups on unstructued NAS/Fileserver data made its way into Veeam Backup and Replication in version 10 and they are now starting to build out on that foundation in v11 which is currently in closed beta testing.  One of these new features extends Veeam's "instant" capabilities further such as Instant Disk Recovery or even Instant VM Recovery which is... you guessed it... Instant NAS RecoveryEarlier in the year I had a lot of fun playing about with the Data Integration API (more here, Data Integration API ) which allows for you to present virtual machine disks out of a backup restore point over the network and do something with them.nstant NAS Recovery works in a similar fashion to other instant functionality by presenting data from any of your restore points to a "target".As an example, for virtual machines this would be taking the latest VM restore point and actually bringing the server online into the hypervisor (the target) but not having to transit all of the

Request: Veeam Website Authentication Improvements

Hi, Hopefully I’m not alone in my wishing of this but I believe that Veeam need to adopt an MFA offering for their sign in systems. The amount of services covered by the Veeam single sign on is increasing and there are some services that would really benefit from the increased security such as the ProPartner portal. Also I’m interested to hear everyone’s experience with the “keep me signed in” setting for Veeam. I don’t find it keeps me signed in longer than a day on average. MFA + keep me signed in for 14/28 days would be awesome improvements this year IMO.

[What (else) is new in v11 - III] Job Filter

Yes, this feature is not completely new in v11 - but it is a little bit hidden and I never found it before . So maybe it is new for others too. And there is also a cool improvement in v11!This filter is about getting a better overview of jobs and latest status. You can access them at Job-level in console.There you can create your own filtersand select the options you want to seeOptions are self explanatory. After adding a new filter, you can use this filter at Jobs-layer to see all jobs, matching the selected options.Of course you can edit and remove themAll of you, used this filter already may recognize a new options here. It is the possibility to Add this view to the job management tree.Which is a great little thing! When setting this option, filter will be available in left tree view as well!And can be edited there as well

Mastering Veeam Backup & Replication v10 - Packt/Amazon

I just wanted to post about my upcoming book for those that might be interested in learning about Veeam v10.  The book is title - Mastering Veeam Backup & Replication 10 from Packt Publishing.  It is in pre-order now on Packt and Amazon. It will cover some of the more advanced topics in Veeam v10 and requires some knowledge.  It will be a great reference for anyone wanting to learn more about Veeam. If you have any questions just let me know.  The publishing date is noted for March 9th but I have fast tracked the chapters which are all done now so that we can move the date up sooner to February timeframe hopefully.  I can post more news once I have some. Pre-Order Links: Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Veeam-Backup-Replication-environment-ebook/dp/B08QZRXMSC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2N5O91R64JGSL&dchild=1&keywords=veeam+10&qid=1610123247&sprefix=veeam+%2Caps%2C273&sr=8-1 Packt - https://www.packtpub.com/product/mastering-veeam-backup-replication-10/978183898044

Adobe Flash End of Life

Afternoon, Whilst not directly related to Veeam it’s worth reminding those of you using VMWare in your environments that if you’re using a version of vSphere that requires Flash, you have until the 12th January before Adobe trigger the kill switch preventing Flash from running, permanently. This could also cause you pains if you have plugins that either haven’t been upgraded to HTML5 yet or don’t have feature parity with their Flash counterparts. If you’re not on a version of vSphere that supports HTML5 or you haven’t got all the Flash client features you’re either running an unsupported version or you’re extremely out of date on your patching and haven’t got full feature parity yet. Full information here

[Link] vSphere VM quiescing essentials

Just read a excellent and very comprehensive article about VMware vSphere VM quiescing. This is the necessary process - within a VM - to get a consistent status of the guest OS (especially virtual disk) and applications. So VM gets quiesced before vSphere snapshot is created. Because VBR uses (like I think any other backup software vendor) vSphere snapshots for backup/replication, I thought this article would be interesting to share. It is definitely worth reading and I highly recommend to do so!https://blog.zuthof.nl/2020/11/26/vsphere-vm-quiescing-essentials/Here a short overview:What is quiescing? Consistency options Non-quiesced Crash consistent Quiesced File-system consistent Application consistent  Interfaces Veeam uses Network (RPC) vSphere VIX Usage in Windows VSS Script Linux Script Quiescing impact on app recovery Transaction Logs Quiescing impact on performance Snapshot based Impact because of vSphere

How to copy back data from capacity tier to performance tier?

I have a performance tier on a scale-out of several repositories and a capacity tier on object storage. I copy backups to object storage as soon as they are created so I can have a disaster recovery in case a repository failed irremediably.What is the best practice to restore the whole data of a repository starting from data in object storage?

Can I filter backup jobs that don't have a secondary backup destination (backup copy)?

Hi!I need to select in Powershell all backup jobs that do not have a backup copy associated yet.They are vCloud backup jobs.The complete task, just to give you a better understanding, involves checking if every backup job on a pre-filled list (not all backup jobs are on the list) has a backup copy.I’m looking for a properties  or anything else you could suggest. Thanks in advance
