Here in South America is very common to find deduplication appliance without / with integration as primary backup repository...I would like to know what you think … 

An interesting question arose some time ago. A customer changed permissions of files on a Windows file-server VM. Changes were replicated using DFS. So far so good, but the amount of data that was processed at next incremental backup of target VM was even more than a full backup. Because incremental backup is based on VMware Changed Block Tracking (CBT) feature, it was suddenly interesting to know whats the size of a CBT block. After some recherche I did not find an answer to this question. But I did find a great script that calculates CBT incremental backup size. Based on this script I created the following script to list the amount and the size of blocks changed in between of two snapshots. Outcome in shortWhen using the script – described in detail later – to show CBT blocks I was surprised. I thought there will be a number of fix-sized blocks that are marked to be backed up. But – assumed, script works correct – there isn’t a fixed size of CBT blocks. There seems to be a wide varia

Today’s #VMCE2020 #DailyQuiz walkthrough is ready. Most people seem to agree having multiple restore points is good both for backups and replicas, but how do you really failover to an older restore point than the latest one?Try this question and more at https://rasmushaslund.com/vmce-practice-exam/

Any talk of adding this to config backup function? I know to add a file copy job for config db backups but an unnecessary step I think and always the risk of forgetting this?

New exciting features have been announced for upcoming version 11: CDP, Linux Proxy, etc…Customers quite often ask when a HTML Veeam console will be availbale...Once VBR has been upgraded, latest console is immediately available to be used and no need to install/update the console in every admin’s computer…Do we really need a HTML console for our daily duties?Maybe we don’t need it but it would be a nice feature to have...What do you think? 

Currently Cloud Connect doesn’t support direct backup CIFS share to this repository. Currently my workaround is;CIFS share > robo copy local > Veeam agent backup to Cloud Connect Is there an alternative? And will CIFS share backup will be supported in the near future directly to an Cloud Connect repository?

Because VMware snapshots is always a topic for backups, I want to share my latest experiences with VM-snapshots on NFS. I had to troubleshoot a problem with system time within a VMware vSphere VM. During backup VM freezes for more than 30 seconds. When this happens, system time in VM also stops and resets to current time after the freeze. And this behavior causes massive problems in the application-layer. During troubleshooting we found a very slow VM snapshot deletion on NFS volumes on ESXi hosts.EnvironmentIn this setup, we were running:HPE SimpliVity Hyper-converged infrastructure running in current Version. Notice: SimpliVity uses NFS v3 to present volumes to their hosts. VMware vSphere 6.7 in quite current version. Current Version of Veeam Backup and Replication.SymptomsSlow VM snapshot deletion on NFS volumes on ESXi hosts. Snapshot removal of comparable VMs, running on block storage last about 1-2 seconds. Deletion of a snapshot, hosted on a SimpliVity volumes (NFS v3) lasts at

Today’s #VMCE2020 #DailyQuiz walkthrough is ready. Did you try out the (somewhat) new Instant VM Disk Recovery feature in v10? How does it handle the existing disk? Not sure? Maybe ask yourself what happens to the existing VM when performing an Instant VM Recovery?

Hello all,I see in Veeam 10 that the notification email for backup job change and now include the backup job linked.Exemple :[Failed] Backup Copy Job 00-HyperV\Backup Job 00-HYPERV (2 machines) There is a way  to remove \Backup Job 00-HYPERV ?We have scripts which read mail to make​ globals reports​ and this make confusion. Thanks for helpHave a good day​​​​​

I spend some time in searching for a way to export job/task log as it is shown in VBR GUI:I found ways to export all logs in detail, but not these are displayed in GUI. Helpful would be PowerShell, API, Rest, or anything else that works.Not to be misunderstood: I do not need the job/task status, I need the logs. Thanks!

Many times I have had to do Veeam designs and this online site http://www.draw.io/ has helped me more than once !!It has Shapes from Veeam - VMware and many other Shapes, which will help you do what you need.  We can import from these options  Export in many formats  Or Save it

Hello everyone,In our company due to bad practices, some application integrators was using vmware snapshot before doing applications deployments on legacy part (no more needed with openshift). Obviously they often forgot to remove snapshot or maintain snapshot cauz they’re waiting answer from project team.We replaced this hijacked habit and provide to integrator/devops the possibility to launch quickbackup in the first time. It was not enough for stagging part and we had to provide capability to create veeam zip with one year retention (yes i know it’s bad...) .  We did awx roles for this too because they wre missing the vmware snapshot comment…I’m curious to hear if other people have encountered a similar situation :)

Hello Veeamor / Veeamers :D!I want to inventory and classify, what kind of data is backuped and store with veeam.I was thinking to use excellent work from @benyoung with dataintegration but i will have performance issue.If i have to request 5000VMS+ and mount all vmdk with then process all data, it could be too long. After data gathering, i’m pushing it with python to elasticsearch (ML incoming on it). What is your suggestion about it? Maybe i’m going to the wrong path ! Have a good friday everyone!
