Hello everybody! I’d like to know if is possible to have a Multi-Factor Authentication to access Veeam Backup & Replication console?Do we have something native on Veeam about it?  

I’d like to first thank Rick Vanover, Madalina Cristil, Nikola Pejková, Aubrey Galen, and everyone at Veeam for their efforts and support leading into the Veeam 100 Summit. It’s a HUGE undertaking that requires many levels of coordination. This was my first time attending the event in person. It was an honour to attend such a prestigious event

A quick note on an important point that I missed originally in Microsoft’s announcement. As users are starting to find their basic authentication mechanisms are being actively disabled, Microsoft have provided one last mechanism to prevent a complete outage if you rely on basic authentication currently. Which Protocols Are Impacted? If you’re using basic authentication for any of the following protocols, you might find that suddenly it has stopped working:Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) Exchange Web Services (EWS) IMAP MAPI Offline Address Book (OAB) POP Remote PowerShell RPC I Think This Impacts Me, What Do I Do? Microsoft are offering one final time to re-enable Basic Authentication, via the self-service diagnostics, direct link here.From t

Hi We have a Dell T130 RAID 5 - 4 X 1TB  Drives No hot spare - DELL PERC H330 Adp SCSI Disk.What is best practice to back this up with Veeam ?Regards

Happy Friday everyone! I was having a chat with @regnor yesterday and we were getting a bit sarcastic about the gap between new products and how long it takes for them to have a proper data protection option available (Teams Chat API is a great example of this!). So I thought this might be a bit of Friday Fun.I want you to market data loss, like it’s a good thing! Whoever’s gets the most likes is the funniest and wins being the “answer” to the question (for those sweet sweet community points!) Scenario: You’ve just lost all your company data and you’re about to tell the board, what do you say? Example: “You know last month I was complaining about our tech debt? Well… it’s gone now!” Now your turn! And be as silly as you like, it’s fun Friday after all!!! 😁

Hello everyone, it’s correct that concurrent tasks limit on the following repositories depend on the hardware (CPU/RAM) of the gateway server (transport server):DataDomain connected in FC to gateway servers with 16 cores and 32GB RAM Immutable on Linux servers with 16 cores and 32GB RAMConcurrent tasks are 32 or 16VMs as reported in the following documentation:Limitation of Concurrent Tasks - User Guide for VMware vSphere (veeam.com) NOTE Task limits set for backup infrastructure components influence the job performance. For example, you add a VM with 4 disks to a job and assign a backup proxy that can process maximum 2 tasks concurrently for the job. In this case, Veeam Backup & Replication will create 4 tasks (

What are the best practices for agent base Linux systems data backups of larger than 2TB volume without any failure? As well as backup of NFS volume?

Hi Folks, I came across this great cloud community list of free IT certifications on github(Kasten is in there too). Seems to be kept up to date. https://github.com/cloudcommunity/Free-Certifications

Hey Guys,I have a scenario. I want to replicate VM from DC to DR site. At some point if the VM gets malware attack and the same is replicated to DR site. The DR site also gets malware infected. How to mitigate this kind of a scenario

I am trying to make a second scale out repository (not overlapping with the first) and I keep getting the following message when trying to save it… “Summary: Failed to save scale-out backup repository: F:\Backup Copy” I got this message another time but pointing to a different directory, which linked to some orphaned backups. I deleted those in hopes this would fix it, but it just keeps throwing a different backup path each time. This specific one doesn’t even exist on my server under backup repos or disk backups (copies or orphaned), so I have no clue how to get past this. When I check the logs, all I see is this… [13.10.2022 17:08:05] <01> Error        Failed to save scale-out backup repository.[13.10.2022 17:08:05] <01> Error        Failed to save scale-out backup repository:[13.10.2022 17:08:05] <01> Error        F:\Backup Copy (System.Exception)[13.10.2022 17:08:05] <01> Error

We had a firm that upgraded our veeam to v 11.In the same time, we replace the SAN.The original SAN that was used for backup was replaced by the new unit.The original SAN was then used for the copy, and the copy SAN not use anymore.It appear that we lost all 95% of restore point that we had before cause of a disk space problem that corrupt the file for most jobs in the server. Now we only have one month of restore point cause. we lost everything else. We think that it was cause of a bad way to upgrade, but the consulting firm continue to claim that it was the disk space problem that caused the loss of six-month  backup.is it possible that the disk space corrupt all the restore point and there is no way to recover the old backup or maybe from our old copy SAN that is still unused since the migration?Thanks for your help. 

Hey all, getting ready to setup VDRO in the lab and production, but I have questions on the location of the vCenter server.  Currently, my vCenter is located in the primary site, but wondering if it should be instead setup at the recovery site, or if I should have HA or ELM configured so that there is a second vCenter setup at the recovery site.  ELM doesn’t sound as useful for this situation, but HA may work and there is low enough latency between the primary and recovery sites to support HA.  That said, I was hoping to the put the witness at our third site, but latency is higher to that location so that may not work.  Anyhow, I know I need to get my VBR backup server moved to the recovery site (was already on my list) but what’s considered the best practice here?

Update from @Chris.Arceneaux (Nov 7th, 2022):Chris has created a new script to automate the commands described in my topic. Thank you very much. :)https://github.com/VeeamHub/powershell/tree/master/VB365-CheckTeamsProtectedAPI______________________ My code has the added benefit of not requiring parameters (TenantID/AppId/CertThumbprint) to be specified as long as the script is executed on the VB365 server. It also automagically installs required PowerShell module(s). This script is about KB4322 (Using Microsoft Graph Export API for Teams) Recently, we were asked in the R&D forum, how much time Microsoft will take, un

Hi Folks, It will be a great honour and huge pleasure to have a chat with Mumshad Mannambeth from Kodekloud. I found all the Kubernetes certifications to be very challenging exams. Kodekloud’s courses are excellent and the practice exams prepared me for what was going to come. All of the Linux Foundation exams (except for the entry level KCNA) are hands on from the command line. There are time restraints and you have to solve real problems that can occur in production. The experience was like dealing with multiple priority 1 emergencies one after the other. The key is learning the material but also putting the kubectl commands to muscle memory. Of course keeping your cool is a huge priority. I hope to find out a lot of interesting details from Mumshad about how he created Kodekloud but also get some tips on what is coming and what are the hot topics in the Devops education world. 

Excellent Features and Improvement in Veeam 11

This topic is not directly related to Veeam. But because of the Veeam Hardened repositories running on Linux, this is also an topic for Veeam.Do you prefer bonding or teaming?https://ngelinux.com/difference-between-bonding-and-teaming-in-linux/https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/networking_guide/sec-comparison_of_network_teaming_to_bondingWith bonding, which mode do you prefer?

Last week Veeam did release Veeam Backup for Salesforce (VBSF). VBSF is a completly new product which offers backup for the Salesforce CRM plattform.Salesforce only has very limited possibilities for backing up your data & metadata, just like many other PaaS vendors (plattform as a service). On the other hand they recommend their customers to regularly create backups. For more informations see this article: Best practices to backup Salesforce dataInstallationVBSF is supported to run on CentOS 7, RedHat Linux 7/8 and Oracle Linux 7/8, and uses PostgreSQL as a database. So in order to install and manage it, you should have at least some basic Linux skills. You can choose to install the software and it’s dependencies manually, or use the setup script provi
