This is a small-scale amateur emulation of a hacker’s website defacing followed by a Kasten restore.I have created a small static website with Nginx deployed in Kubernetes. The Geoff Burke Propaganda website is designed to boast a positive image of the individual, hard working and healthy living and to inspire Management to make the right decision at salary review time.A group of malicious hackers gained access to the website and replaced the content with completely false information and quite obviously fake photos. However, Kasten was backing up the Website so in no time at all and before company management had a chance to view, truth and integrity were restored.Here is my website: Malicious hackers however replaced the page and photos with this vicious slander: Luckily, I chose Kasten to backup my website so I was able to quickly restore from backup: My Policy backups every hour and exports to an Offsite S3 as well allowing me to abide by the 3-2-1 rule of backup.  I will pick the l

Veeam just released a comix book!   Download it here:https://go.veeam.com/wp-choose-your-cloud-adventure-aws  

Just read the news and thought it would be interesting in the community: HPE to acquire cloud disaster recovery startup Zerto What do you think about it?

I did get a private message from the user haider2012, which is spam obviously. How to deal with it? There is no button like “report spam”.

Can Veeam backup and replication Community edition be installed on Client PC? Can we control security for the user so that they will not have access to modify configurations.

Cumulative path 3 of Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC) V5 was released last week.Anton says in his weekly digest:“[It] addresses a critical issue which may cause a backup encryption password to be reset. If you're managing Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows with VSPC and have backup encryption enabled, then you need to install this patch and re-enter the password. This is required because the original encryption password can be reset by the automatic policy resync task which is started after you upgrade to version 5.To help you with locating agent jobs that need to have their encryption password set again, with the patch installed we show a failed job session for all affected backup agents, so don't be surprised when you see those. After applying a new password, you will need to rerun all affected backup jobs.”You can download the patch here:https://www.veeam.com/kb4163

Cleaning tape is in slot 10 and unrecognized. Can it be visible in Media Pool? What would be the process to replace the cleaning tape and add it to the slot. Where do I find the I/O slot? Sorry asking basic questions will be taking a training course soon. We are using Community edition Veeam Backup and Replication 10

As part of my virtual VMUG tour, I submitted a session to the VMUG call for papers covering the subject of Data Protection for Tanzu Kubernetes workloads. (Most of this will apply for any Kubernetes environments).This was picked up by Erik at the Belgium VMUG for their UserCon in June 2021. After the session the videos remain available on demand for a short time, but there were no plans to upload this for everyone. So thank you to Michael Cade, whom offered to host this session for all on the Cloud Native Data Management – YouTube Channel.In the below session I cover the following areas;​What kind of data protection do you need? ​Velero The open source data protection project from VMware ​Tanzu Mission Control The Kubernetes fleet management platform that utilizes Velero from VMware. ​3rd Party Options A nod to the 3rd party ecosystem that offer enterprise Data Protection and Management software such as; Kasten by Veeam There is even a quick technical demo in there, with a little

I had the pleasure of presenting this Kubernetes 101 session to the Veeam Community thanks to my work as part of their Veeam Vanguards program, and a special thank you to Michael Cade who co-presented with me!In this session we cover the following with technical details included:How have we got here? Kubernetes – The Building Blocks Policies Wrap-up I’ve also a number of Kubernetes related content on my blog. And I’m slowly completing 100 Days of Kubernetes tracked here on my GitHub.

If you missed the first part of this 3-part series, you can read it here. In this post, I’ll be discussing the Backup Copy Job Short-Term Retention Policy. The main purpose of Short-Term Retention is to create additional copies of your Backups, whether on- or off-site, meeting at least the “3” part of the “3-2-1 Rule”.In previous Veeam versions, the Short-Term Retention Policy was referred to as the Simple Retention Policy. As with previous Veeam versions, the Short-Term Policy will retain using the Forever Forward Incremental method to copy the data to target, as long as Long-Term Retention (GFS) Policy is not enabled. What this means is this: during the initial run of the Copy job, a Full backup restore point (.vbk ) will be created, either 1 file or multiple files. For per-VM, a Full file will be created of every VM copied. If not enabled, one Full is created containing all VM data in a single file. Subsequent Copy Job runs will consist of Incremental restore point files ( .vib ) co

One thing that I find really useful if you’re moving a small VM for a small customer that doesn’t have a VCenter to a new Vsphere host is to just simply connect the the two ESXi hosts in Veeam:Add both hosts in the Virtual Infrastructure Create a replication job between the old host and the new host If it runs rather slow let it run for a few days.  Determine a small outage window where you’ll have the customer stop accessing data on the old host.  Do one more replication job. Shut the old VM down in the old host Power on the new server on the new host.It’s important to not use the replica_ prefix or suffix just for the sake of simplicity. A lot of times focus is on larger customers and how to vmotion this or that but sometimes it’s nice to think about how small customers can be served too.  Using Veeam for that is a life saver.

Hi All , Hope great.I was practicing some fail-overs last night to our DR. If I am correct it seams that after you fail over the original VM from Prod it does not shutdown. This leaving two machines on the network with the same IP.Very keen to hear your thoughts. Being Prod and DRSincerelyJay

What do you guys think of installing ubuntu server as  a VM on Qnap 8Bay - Raid 10 NAS.Then pushing Immutable backups to it. The NAS will not be connected to the internet.I would love to learn the possible risks and vulnerabilities of this?We still follow the 3:2:1 rule. This is just for extra.Thanks all.Jay 

Hi, everyone! I have a quick question about coypjob intervals. If I have my copyjob set to 1 day starting at 4am, does that mean that the copy starts at 4am and runs until 4am the next day and then just starts over? I am seeing some warnings about things not being copied over in the copy interval. I’m a little confused on how this works. How can I make the copy interval longer?

Hello everyone, I need to restore “incremental backup” to another “new server” on the network.I have “export disk” to VHD from backup the “old server” and attach this disk to “new server”.In this moment I need to restore “incremental backup” to “new server”. Is this possible? Thank you

Hi All - Hope well.I was hoping some one could shed some light on this. It seams when I replicate VM’s from our production server to the DR server, hyper V also makes a snap shot.What is the correct way to start the replicas? I imagine just for the replication job to stop and then start the VM’s normally on Hyper V without using Hyper V snapshots?What is the correct procedure? - I would also like to use the fail-back option so I dont want to hyperV snap shots to upset the process. Please find the image attached. Thanks all! 

Hi all,As a Veeam partner I often get the question from customers and colleagues : why choose VBO365 and not one of the so many SaaS competitors?That question is not so easy to answer, but there are a lot of reasons.I’ll try to give some reasons why I find that VBO365 has advantages relative to other SaaS competitors. Flexible : You can install VBO365 on a VM or physical server on-premises.You can use regular storage or an object-storage appliance.Also you can install it on a VM in the public cloud and using object storage as the best choice (costs and quantity of storage). Proximity : Because you can install it on-premises or as a partner on your own hardware in a datacenter, you can deliver proximity instead of used storage of a competitor in a region far away from your location.In Belgium the proximity is an important reason for a lot of customers. Several flexible restore options : With VBO365 you have many, many restore options, not only to existing O365 resources (mailbox, onedri

I have a server with Direct attached storage utilized as a repository server. We have 3 partitions that are each configured as a repository in Veeam. We have combined all 3 into a SOBR. For the max concurrent tasks, do I need to divide the total concurrent tasks by the number of repositories since they each could be utilized at the same time.Hard Numbers: I have 16 concurrent tasks max due to Ram limitations on my Repository server. With the 3 repositories, do I configure each to have 5 max concurrent tasks or can i configure all 3 to have 16?Explanation on the reason for the solution would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I am testing some VM backups in a customer environment.  We get the following warning when running the backup of a test VM:6/22/2021 8:18:11 AM :: SetVmCustomConfigOption failed, vmRef 'vm-117256', options ['SCSI0:0.ctkEnabled':'True','SCSI0:1.ctkEnabled':'True']Fault "NoPermissionFault", detail "<NoPermissionFault xmlns="urn:vim25" xsi:type="NoPermission" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><object type="VirtualMachine">vm-117256</object><privilegeId>VirtualMachine.Config.AdvancedConfig</privilegeId></NoPermissionFault>"Permission to perform this operation was denied.The backup appears to completed successfully with this warning on the VM.   Any thoughts on the reason for this warning?  Running Veeam 11.0.0.837.  Vcenter version is 7.0.2.00200
