Playing around with TIERS from a SOBR

Hi all,Anybody faced issues with the usage of certain TIERs from a SOBR on another VBR server ? Here’s what we want to achieve:Customer is upgrading to brand new VBR server (new hardware)Together with this shift, he want’s to move from S3 provider.All configured well, but what with the existing SOBR were we only want to keep the archive tier. Both Capacity and Archive tier are S3 compatible repo’s (encrypted). We just want to break up the SOBR and mount the S3 Archive tier to the new VBR and perfrom a rescan. All backup points should then be visible as ‘imported’ backups.This gives the customer the opportunity to keep the possibility to restore from his previous archive tier when necessary and get rid of the costly capacity tier. Any things we should keep in mind ? I guess a rescan of the repo will populate the internal DB with the necessary info to perform restores via the new VBR.

Change Retention On Backup After The Fact?

I haven’t found an answer to this, so asking here.I was asked if we can change the retention on an existing backup to keep it longer than the original retention time.For example, we are running forward incrementals daily with a synthetic full every Saturday. The retention is set to 30 days. We are using Veeam 12.1 with immutable Linux repository.If someone comes to me and asks for us to keep last Wednesday’s backup for 90 days due to an ongoing project they have, can I retroactively change the retention on that backup to 90 days? (I understand that the prior Saturday-Wednesday files would/should also be retained to keep the chain intact).Thanks.

Moving backups files to another repository. Veeam 12.1 and S3 scenario

Hi CommunityToday I’ve spent my time in our lab and I realised I made a mistake by choosing a bucket without immutability in our backup job.So I dedicated some time looking into how I could move backups to another repository in Veeam B&R Console.Before I started, I wondered why I would want to use the 'Move backup' function in a production environment.I said to myself that it might be necessary to do this in such cases as: Wrong configuration in a backup job Backup repository is close to full capacity. I must replace my repository (because out of warranty). Backup job policies are changed (immutable backup request or different policy needed). “Move Backup” operation permit to continue to use the same Job, moving backup files to a new backup location, and keeping job history and backup chain. SCENARIOIn our lab we have this scenario:Veeam B&R v. 12.1.2.172 OLD repo: S3 Bucket without versioning called Pippo02 (yes is Goofy) NEW repo: S3 Bucket with versioning enabled (immutable)

Veeam Enterprise Plug-in Encryption

Please note ** This article is an update from an earlier article on the same topic**Security is always extremely important. Encryption should be used whenever possible. When using Veeam plug-in for enterprise database, you should be aware of the options for encryption and settings that can be configured.With the latest update of Veeam, v12.1.2, the following links should help clarify encryption for Veeam Enterprise plugin backup.Network Traffic EncryptionStarting with v12.1.2, by default, network traffic encryption is in place for Veeam plug-in backup. See the following links for detail on utilization for each plug-in. The encryption may be disabled if desired.

Unable to get Veeam to authenticate with Hyper-V host using domain credentials

Hi guys,First, I’m not sure if I should be posting here or forums.veeam.com? Either way, here’s my setup: Hyper-V host domain-joined to customer infrastructure, running Windows Server 2022, patched with July 2024 cumulative patches. Security software includes S1, Threatlocker, and Huntress. Threatlocker is in “learning” mode and is not blocking anything. Backup server is also running Windows Server 2022 patched with the latest July 2024 cumulative update. Security software includes SentinelOne and Duo authentication to enable MFA for local user logins. Backup box is *not* domain joined at all.I’ve been told this is a UAC issue, but using a domain user bypasses this problem. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. No matter what I do, I can’t get the backup server to authenticate with the Hyper-V host using a domain account. I can get it to authenticate, browse \\hypervip\ADMIN$ share, and connect with Veeam with the built-in, named Administrator account and I can get it to authenticat

Immutability

So I am on Veeam community edition 11.01.1261 and decided to look into immutable backups. I created a Ubtunu 22.04.2 VM and followed the guide. I added the repo to Veeam. When I do a backup and check on the Linux system I am not seeing the immutable tag set, what am I missing? I’m looking in the data directory of the backupset. The backup is there, looks fine, it is not immutable. lsattr---------------------- ./0000.vblob The Linux FS is XFS, and I set the checkbox to say it should be immutable for 7 days.

Azure Appliance Management in Veeam Backup for Azure

One of my friends is a senior network engineer. At dinner the other night, we were talking about how our days went. I said I was creating a series of demos for the Veeam YouTube channel about deploying and managing Azure appliances. I told him when I hear the word appliance in an IT context, I picture a network diagram with little stoves and refrigerators in place of servers and clouds. The visual made us laugh and wonder why we use the term “appliance” for both stoves and servers. So I’m focusing this week’s Friday Blog on appliances and how Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure helps you manage them. What are Appliances in the Cloud?In our kitchens, appliances are devices or equipment we use to perform specific tasks. The concept is similar in IT where an appliance is a device that performs a specific function or set of functions. Examples of computing appliances include routers, firewalls, storage appliances, load balancers, virtual machines, media streaming devices, and IoT-enabled devi

Migrate Veeam Infrastructure Off Production Domain (part 1 of 4)

“But…are you still master of your domain.” - Jerry Seinfeld This is the introduction to a multi-part series on getting your Veeam servers out of your production (i.e. main user account) Active Directory domain. Authn. Authentication. Who are you?Authz. Authorization. What can you do?An explanation of ADDS is beyond the scope of this series, but for context…Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) provides a logical and physical structure for authn and authz within your network. Authn flows across a ‘Forest’ whilst domains are used primarily as replication partitions, being sub-units of a forest (namespace ‘trees’ being a way to organize domains). Another reason to use domains is as a logical security boundary for the seemingly all-powerful ‘Domain Admin’ account. Generally, the best practice is that Veeam components, where appropriate, are "off the production domain". There are two primary reasons for this: first, a compromised production domain admin account can not only wreak havoc o

SOBR Direct to Object Storage Archiving How-To?

Hello, I’m new here, so forgive me if I’m doing this wrong.I’m having trouble configuring a SOBR to a client. The client wants to send an Agent File level backup job directly to S3 Standard on AWS and keep only the recent 7 days worth of data and then proceed to archive a weekly full backup. How would I go about and do this? There is no capacity tier as it would make no sense…

Copying on-prem data to Azure Archive tier

Hi, we have TBs of data in our on-prem Veeam repositories that we would like to move to Azure (archive tier). We added object storage repo and choose Archive Tier but when we try to use copy /move data option to migrate off this data from our on-prem repos to this archive repo, this doesn't show up in the available target locations. We would like to get some advice on some of the available options that we can use to move our data to azure. We will hardly need this data to restore from but as a business requirement, we need to keep this for a few years. Thanks

Veeam Agent for Linux – Failed to create Volume Snapshot / Failed to Load Module [veeamsnap]

So I had a unique support case recently, a customer using Veeam Agent for Linux with mixed success, they had one particular server that worked fine during implementation and then after a week the backups had started to immediately fail. The server was unable to load the veeamsnap module.Veeam themselves have a great article dealing with this in general and it helps resolve the majority of the cases, link here.One point I believe this article doesn’t properly discuss though is why this can happen, especially when it previously worked properly. To understand this we need to know a bit about how Veeam works with its Linux Agent.To fully understand how the Veeam Agent for Linux works, the first question we need to answer is, what is “veeamsnap”? veeamsnap is a Linux kernel module used by Veeam to create volume snapshots. Due to the huge variety of Linux systems and updates supported by Veeam, there are some pre-requisites that must be met for veeamsnap to function, these are documented her
