Opened The word from @Gostev this morning and he mentioned a new VMware vulnerability. With a score of 7.7 it is definitely up there. If you are on ESXi 7.X there is no patch yet but a workaround here: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/87249 which is basically disconnect all virtual CD-ROM drives and they provide a PowerCLI command to do it easily.If you didn’t sign up for the newsletter, I strongly recommend it - always great content for a Monday morning.

Last week I had to troubleshoot a tape (GFS) backup problem. I guess the solution could be interesting for others too.I this environment, synthetic full and tape backup are scheduled at the same day. Full prior to tape jobs. Normally we do see any problems with this configuration. But last week we saw this error in the tape job:12.01.2022 07:04:45 :: Error: Storage ('c97b8ddb-a9dc-4b49-b441-dc1031100a58', CreationTime '08.01.2022 23:15:25') not found As a result the whole job failed. After taking a look at the logs, I found out, the related storage object was a VIB-file of one of the backup jobs, tape job had to bring to tape.[08.01.2022 23:45:07] <01> Info         [CTapeVmTaskBuilder] Storage c97b8ddb-a9dc-4b49-b441-dc1031100a58, mediaset: Weekly, path: servername.vm-187205D2022-01-

Hi Id like to find out what people think the best course of action would be in my circumstances. we have an agent backup job that was running on a WSFC failover cluster file server. this was backup up to a SOBR which was tiered to AWS We have just removed the WSFC cluster in favour of single servers, I have had to create new backup jobs within Veeam (cant use clustered type for non clustered) which was fairly easy my question is what do to with the old jobs, they have backup data attached to them in performance capacity tiers which I don’t want to accidentally remove but I am unsure whether it is best to just disable the job, or remove the protected volumes from the jobs, but I think that if I disable or remove the selections that Veeam wont be able to manage the retention policies thanks!    

It is #VeeAmazing to such great interest recently in becoming a Veeam Certified Architect. I’ve wanted to share the two primary sections of interest:VMCA Study Guide VMCA Practice examsMany of you have left very kind comments on the video walkthroughs of the official #VMCA 2022 practice exam and requested a full list split by sections on the exam as to more easily study one particular section. I always aim to please, so please find the list below.Some of you may have noticed the text says exams with an s at the end. I fully intend to write an unofficial practice exam for VMCA as well; however, it is a rather large project so it will take some time before it will be ready.I will continue to produ

Last year Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v5 added purpose-built backup and recovery for Microsoft Teams. Since then many customer and partners asked me "How can we protect all of our teams and exclude specific teams objects based on names automatically?".As there is no filter logic within the UI for the Backup Job object exclusion list, I solved this "problem" using the script down below. First we store the credentials (encrypted) in a txt file:$credential = Get-Credential$credential.Password | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Set-Content <path to secure.txt>And here's the script. Just change the values for the following variables: $organizationname Name of the tenant - Only needed if more than one is configured$backupjob            Name of existing the Backup Job$filter                    Name of the team that needs to be excluded. Regular expressions can be used$userName            Username for retrieving

Hi, We are utilizing the RestAPI in VBR11 to manage most of our jobs (reporting, start, stop, etc).It seems that SureBackup jobs are not included in the API, when communication with /api/v1/jobs Is there an roadmap for the API, where we can follow the progress? Or is this already included? :)    

Hey guys, can anyone tell the difference in features between the veeam v11 and v11a?can we initiate replication and cdp in site that has veeam v11a to another site that has veeam v11 with patch P20210525 ?

As the Veeam Legend 2022 intake is only a couple of months away, I wanted to share my experience and views on the Veeam Legend program, and help those considering it, whether it’s right for them.Today I’ll give a brief overview of the Veeam Legend program in case you’re not familiar and then I’ll tell you how my first year in the program has been. What is the Veeam Legend program?If you don’t know what the Veeam Legend program is, that’s fine, it has only been going for a year now and has had two intakes of Legends. But if you’re working in data protection or want to specialise within this field, it’s a vendor endorsement program of increasing industry recognition.The Veeam Legend program is an acknowledgement from Veeam of individuals that are active in the
