Hello Veeam, I would like to ask regarding on how to size repository needed for Veeam via http://rps.dewin.me/If customer gave the data size that needs to backup which is 28tb and backup policy must have 2YR retention and the sched will be 24months Full, 4 weekly Full and 7 Daily incremental.So technically I will create a "Backup Copy Job GFS” in Dewin, and will enter 24 in Months the total for that one is 219.2TB, will create another one for weekly will enter 4 in Weekly and total of 44.2 TB, and last for Daily incremental will select "Forever Incremental” and retention will be 7 and total of 31.89 TB. For all type of backup i checked the Refs/XFS, 10% conservative for change rate, and 50% on data left after reduction. So it means i will add the total for all and that is equivalent to 295.29 TB of storage. So i need a total of 295.29 TB with 2YR retention? I think i

I am trying to find or build a report that will provide a line chart for each datastore trending over the last 4 - 6 months.I looked at the report - Datastore Space Usage History - the data appears to be there under the individual datastore headings, but it appears that will be a significant amount of data manipulation to make it work.Is it possible to get the data in a .csv format?Does anyone else have a similar need and has addressed it?Thanks in advance. 

Happy Friday, Veeam Community! Since @MicoolPaul is on Majorca enjoying sunshine and beach, I am on a mission to back him up with the regular Fun Friday discussion!  What's the worst reason for an outage you've ever had and how badly did it impact you? Here’s story that @MicoolPaul shared with us:“When I was internal IT, we had a summer where we kept suffering power outages at our main building, with people keep getting stuck in the lift! One day we had a bad outage, but it was only partially an outage, apparently two of our three phases were dead! So we had a few random plugs around the office that still worked. To get things back up and running we managed to ignore all health & safety and ran a massiv

The PowerShell script to automate the upgrade for Veeam Backup & Replication & Enterprise Manager to v11 is now available on VeeamHub! Here’s a blog post with more detailed information: https://www.arsano.ninja/2021/03/09/veeam-unattended-upgrade-v11/ If you're a VCSP, the script can also be used for Cloud Connect environment upgrades.

Hello, Some way to get from an Oracle redo log job the list of protected databases and state with powershell, Thanks. 

Not too long ago I had a customer who only had a Standard license which meant he didn’t have access to SureBackup, but had a need to validate a highly critical SQL database’s backups on a near daily basis. I figured it wouldn’t be too hard to write up a PS script that’d take some basic information about the source job name and database and where it needed to be restored and quickly sort by most recent and selecting it and kicking off the restore. That way he could just fire up the script when necessary. He ended up setting up a scheduled task where each day his DBAs would have the previous day’s backup restored next to the production database and they could do whatever verifications they needed. Easy peasy!Note: Tested and working in v10 & v11 (Should work just fine in v9.x as well, but not tested)<### Un-comment to enable debug output when troubleshooting script ###>#$DebugPreference = "Continue"<### Included for

Here’s a sample PowerShell script to enforce Restore Point configuration for both VMware Backup Jobs & vCloud Backup Jobs. The script retrieves the job’s current retention setting (Restore Points), compares it against the standard defined in a CSV file, and adjusts the configuration where needed. For more detailed information, please follow the VeeamHub link:https://github.com/VeeamHub/powershell/tree/master/BR-EnforceJobRetention

I’ve been searching and trying different commands to set the flag to “enable backup file encryption” within the VBR “Configuration Backup Settings”.While I can see how to create the password with the API with the Add-VRBEncryptionKey shown below, I don’t see a command to set the flag above. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Veeam launched the veeamazing new v11 last week and with it, some amazing new features. In this blog post I’ll be highlighting the licensing requirements for these new features and a few other pre-requisites to use them. Veeam Continuous Data Protection (CDP)Veeam CDP enables organisations to achieve aggressively low RPO whilst still retaining the flexibility required by organisations for their retention needs. To utilise Veeam CDP your environment needs to be:VMware Environment using vSphere 6.5 or newer. Veeam needs to have either a Veeam Universal License or Enterprise Plus when using a socket-based license. Replication target can’t be a Veeam Cloud Connect Replica. Veeam Hardened RepositoryThe Veeam hardened repository is designed to help keep backups safe and data integrity assured. It’s great to see this feature requires no specific licensing from Veeam, however there are some pre-requisites

This week Anton Gostev talks about hardware for primary backup repositories. He discusses what kind of servers are used in the market and which advantages they have.Really a must-read.  I've recently talked to a number of our field folks regarding primary backup repositories they see our customers deploying these days and collected quite a bit of factual data that I think is worth sharing, as it should be helpful for your planning purposes. I also included some anecdotal information about the pricing just to give you an idea but keep in mind this will the price to channel without reseller margin (so you will pay slightly more) and this data came from one particular cost-sensitive region – so YMMV depending on where your company is located. Also, while I will be talking about HPE and Cisco offerings simply because these are "safe choices" used by the majority of our customers (both companies are our resell

Anyone else experiencing slow response from Veeam support in the last few months? I’ve had a couple of calls where I had to ask for updates on the call before I get any response back from Veeam support. I even had to escalate a call once because I wasn’t getting any feedback. Support engineers also don’t ask for remote sessions anymore and just send mails asking for more details.
