Log-shipping with VBR involves your SQL or Oracle server (VM or agent), optionally a log-shipping server and of course a repo to store the VLBs.With Hyper-V underneath one might even log-ship through the hypervisor by using PowerShell direct. This is nice, as it allows to isolate your DB workloads from the backup network and still leverage log-shipping.During the process Veeam creates temp files of the logs to be shipped first on the DB server and then the log-shipping server. Finally, after a LZ4 compression, those are driven to the repo and deleted on those temp locations.On the DB server the temp path for logs is defined in the registry and defaults to the largest disk the server has (since 9.5U4a). The path can be changed: https://www.veeam.com/kb2642On the log-shipping server the process is always using the %TEMP% path to store the data.Problem is, V

​In these two weeks, updates have been released for two of the most used operating systems in the world, I’m talking about Windows 11 and Ubuntu 21.10.Windows 11 comes with all-secured new OS (and relative limitations too, es. TMP 2.0 and 3-years CPU), new design and sounds, new start, heavely power-up of multitasking, optimized and reduced uptades, integrated teams and widget, new Xbox funtionality, store and Android app support ( this one will come very soon). And if you have an AMD, tomorrow will get fix for that issue onb L3 cache and performance too.Ubuntu intead comes with new features, but this release’s not a LTS so only around 5% of installations will get new update (long live to LTS), Linux k

Evening all!Seeing reports of Windows Update pushing a bad driver for VMware PVSCSI to Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 VMs, it shows as “VMware, Inc. - SCSI Adapter - 1.3.18.0”. Hopefully Microsoft will pull it, just be careful of any patching windows or you may be fishing for old drivers through your backups… or if you’re using SureBackup/SureReplica, if you’ve got a pending Windows Update reboot and it’s a ticking time bomb, you’ll soon know when those VMs fail to boot! Good luck out there!

Additionally, for users with tape installations (for file to tape jobs processing more than 1,000,000 files):1.5 GB RAM for file to tape backup for each 1,000,000 files 2.6 GB RAM for file restore for each 1,000,000 files 1.3 GB RAM for catalog jobs for each 1,000,000 files Please anyone expation what its means?

As many of you may have seen from your email Veeam has recently released a VMCE 2021 Fast Track package for any v9, 2020 certificate holders or people who have taken the v10 class but not passed the exam. I’ve written a blog on the subject but TL;DR it’s definitely worth checking out. 

We all know Veeam as a great solution for Backup and Recovery. But besides that, Veeam can help us with many different Sysadmin tasks. Here are some for which I’ve used Veeam in the past. In most cases Veeam is just faster than any other way and, most important, it just works Test Updates & Troubleshoot problemsWith SureBackup and the Virtual Labs you can not only regularly check your backups, but also test certain updates before deploying them to production. If something fails, you can start debugging the problem without any hurry or restart the whole lab with just a few clicks.Also, when troubleshooting problems in your production environment, why not take a Quick Backup and start a lab? From there you can try any adjustments or workarounds, without fearing to cause (much worse) problems in y

Veeam has extended its Azure Stack HCI OS support in v11a.  See the following KB - KB4047: Veeam Support for Azure Stack HCI

Hey! Fancied trying a different fun Friday this week, what’s your favourite cloud storage?This could be a public hyperscaler or an object storage specialist vendor. With Veeam having such a list of supported vendors it’d be great to see the ones you’re all most enthusiastic about working with, bonus points for why!

Greetings guys, a few months ago I already showed you an incredible, powerful, yet free and open source Grafana Dashboard for your Veeam Backup for AWS.As you know, Veeam has released Veeam Backup for AWS v4, here you can know more about it, plus take a look at a great video deploying it from scratch, creating policies, etc.So I have decided to take a look at the new RESTful API endpoints, or to check the ones where updated, and, of course, I have spend the Saturday updating the Grafana Dashboard, introducing Unofficial Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup for AWS v3How does the Dashboard look like for VBA AWS v4

Support for Veeam Availability Suite v11 (VBR/EM/ONE) is now available in the Veeam Collection for Ansible! Here’s a blog post outlining changes made and improvements: https://www.arsano.ninja/2021/03/03/veeam-ansible-collection-v11/ For those not familiar with this Ansible collection, please see this blog post for an introduction.

Hello,a customer of mine wants to use a teradata box for a database application.Up to now I have learned already that there is no direct integration with Veeam and that teradata is a little bit “special”. It brings a own data protection solution with it on board. We don’t want to support and maintain a second backup solution besides Veeam for this customer if it is avoidable….Does someone here have some experiences with data protection of a teradata box?My fist idea was to check if the OS is a linux/unix and if it is possible to install a Veeam agent on it. I assume the internal solution can write the backup data in a filesystem and the agent can send it to the VBR server.But perhaps there are some other solutions I didn’t think of. I am looking forward to hear your expertise

Hey everyone,Starting the beginning of January 2021 we're going to see Veeam simplify the license offerings available to customers. Historically Veeam have always offered a "per socket" perpetual licensing model, which was great when we were just considering protecting our vSphere & Hyper-V infrastructure, but as Veeam has grown and produced additional feature capabilities such as NAS Backup, Cloud-native Backups for AWS and Azure and Physical server and workstation protection options, this licensing model hasn't suited them all. Then Veeam introduced the Veeam Universal License (VUL) subscription, streamlining the licensing experience for customers by offering a "per workload" backup model, allowing customers to mix and match different products as part of their overall Veeam licensing. This license becomes increasingly appealing as customers wish to test adoption of different clouds, they protect their workloads, regardless of

 I did an installation on a new vm (Windows 2019)of the VBR 11a with sql express and the installation does not go to the end but I have this error there:12.10.2021 17:29:05][INFO] Exception occurred (Veeam products installation section).Info: System.Exception: Exception of type 'System.Exception' was thrown.   at Veeam.Setup.Wizard.VmInstallStagePrereqEngine.Install()   at Veeam.Setup.Wizard.PredefinedDialogs.VmInstallDialog.m_installWorker_DoWork(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)I tried with other source same result ifanyone has an idea :)  

As title says, Veeam's new policies change the license per socket to more advanced type of licensing.Will the “community version” be affected / discontinued?Thanks to all :)
