Reverse Incrementals on Hyper-V

I recall from one of the recent Veeam R&D Forums Digest newsletters that Reverse Incremental for Hyper-V is being removed or has been removed in VBR. This is useful for sending full backups to Tape, otherwise we have to do synthetic full to Tape (heavy use of virtual memory for our TB-sized backups) or create a synthetic .VBK (use more disk space).Which VBR version did Veeam start doing this? Luckily still on 9.5I feel like Hyper-V is getting short-changed ...

[PowerShell] analyze used repository space

Here I want to show how to query space in VBR Repositories with a few PowerShell snippets. These can be taken to check used space and compare this with restore points in VBR database. It can be used for larger environments to analyze repository space. I used these codes to analyze differences in size on the repositories at a customer.First check: Restore points in database and compare them to allocated space on repository.$VbrVMs = ((Get-VBRBackup | Get-VBRRestorePoint) |select vmname, @{N="Job"; E={$_.getsourcejob().name }}, @{N="Repo"; E={$_.getrepository().name }} , @{N="size"; E={$_.getstorage().stats.BackupSize }}) The output of this one-liner should be the same as properties of disk backups. When total over all this corresponds to used space on repository volumes, everything is OK. If not, a problem can exist.Second Check: You can check each physical file with Veeam known files in DB. I used this script (http://sebastiaan.tempels.eu/2017/05/05/veeam-orphaned-files/) to start w

Hyper-V 👀 Backup Modes

Veeam Backup and Replication provides two different backup modes to process Hyper-V backups, both relying on the Microsoft VSS framework.On-Host backup mode, for which backup data processing is on the Hyper-V node hosting the VM, leveraging non transportable shadow copies by using software VSS provider. Off-Host backup mode, for which backup data processing is offloaded to another non-clustered participating Hyper-V node, leveraging transportable shadow copies using hardware VSS provider provided by the SAN storage vendor or SMB3 functionality Performance wise, since both backup modes are using the exact same Veeam transport services, the only differentiating factors will be the additional time requested to manage transportable snapshots (in favor of On-Host mode) and the balance between compute and backup resources consumption during backup windows (in favor of Off-Host mode).When using Windows Server 2016 or later, On-Host proxy mode is very fast and requires less components, thus re

Request: SureBackup & Backup Copy Job Awareness

Hi, A feature I believe would be extremely useful would be scheduling SureBackup around the completion of a Backup Copy Job. Backup Copy Jobs aren’t scheduled the same as usual jobs so I understand the additional complexity around this however the reason for my request is simple.One of SureBackup’s primary limitations is Disk IO, if we create a SureBackup job to run after a backup job is complete, a Backup Copy Job could then start consuming IO to transmit this backup to an archive tier, Cloud Connect or to some other secondary repository. This creates contention for IO with SureBackup, impacting the ability to validate virtual machines.A key example of this behaviour is when VMware Tools fails to start within the traditional 30 seconds (I’m aware of registry keys that can amend this behaviour, but it’s just one example). If we could chain either BCJ’s to run after a backup is validated (so we know we’re copying good data firstly) or even inversely whereby we run SureBackup after the c

Simply orchestrate your DR with Veeam and NetApp !

Since the years when I was NetApp SE at Avnet/Techdata, I have always carried NetApp in my heart.And since I've been at Veeam, if there's one product I really like, it's Veeam Availability Orchestrator (VAO).So you can imagine that when Veeam announced VAO v3 with the major new feature of integration with NetApp technologies, it was a total excitement for me.In a NetApp environment, one of the promise of VAO is to drive the entire ONTAP storage failover during a DR to a recovery site and then orchestrate the restart of applications at that recovery site.Is the promise really being delivered? YES, it is… Enough blah blah blah, I suggest you watch all this in this little 5 minutes demo.The voice over is in french, but I think the demo is easy to understand for non french native speakers. If it's not the case, let me know in the comments and I'll find a solution.Give me your feedbacks and tell me what you think about this prolific technology partnership between Veeam and NetApp that has

[PowerShell] Export VBR console job logs

These days I invested the possibility to programmatically export the same job log shown in VBR console (GUI). @JMeixner gave me the missing link. Now I want to share my outcome here.First, select the backup session of the job you want to get the log from. To select the job session run latest, you can do this with a command like this:$BackupSession = Get-VBRBackupSession -Name "Job 1*" | Sort-Object CreationTime | Select-Object -last 1Here the name of the job is actually "Job 1". But -Name is the name of the running job. This means it includes a postfix like "(Incremental)", therefore *. I use -Name because this is much faster than using | where {$_.jobname -eq "Job 1"}When you have the backup session, run this to get the logs for each VM in this job.foreach ($Task in ($BackupSession | Get-VBRTaskSession)) { $Task.logger.getlog().updatedrecords | select @{N="VM"; e={$task.name}}, starttime, status, title | sort starttime} By the way, there is a hidden feature in the VBR console: If

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

[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!
