How to add all Physical server to Veeam one monitor for report generation?

When we use Veeam Plug-in for backup Oracle DB inside Solaris OS, as RMAN do backup and restore to Veeam Server, how do we fully control backup and restore, retention policy setting for Oracle DB from Veeam Backup V11 Console? 

Hi Folks, I took some time off of Kubernetes to upgrade my VMCE to version 2020. It was a fair exam but no easy walk through the park. Even if you work with Veeam every day and hold both VMCE and VMCA don’t take the upgrade as a shoe in!!. Thanks to @haslund Rasmus for the great practice tests, they got me worried so I put in a real effort and it paid off.Just a side note with the proctored exams, make sure you register with the exact name on your documents. I am Geoff but my full name is Geoffrey! My email has only Geoff hence it raised some concerns (45 minutes late starting :). All water under the bridge now :).. Back to Kubernetes!!! :) 

What kind of solution will come with VEEAM for as a solution to DCIM..? 

Veeam had a ton to talk about today and tomorrow will be no exception, if you missed out on the roadmap sneak peak or just want something to refer back to, check out their press release here!

Aware that Veeam has Unique selling points such as Instant recovery of VMs and Verification of recoverability of backups, other than that whether Veeam has any unique offerings. 

Are all my virtual machines being backed up correctly and within the required RPO? Of course!I think..., or not 😉? Do I implement best practices in creating jobs?If using vSphere, do I use folders or tags or use whole clusters to add virtual machines to the job?If using HyperV, do I use whole clusters or hosts or in case of using SCVMM do I use tags? Yes, OK, that ’s fine, did I not forget a new VM giving the correct tag or putting in the correct vSphere folder?Yes it can happen to everyone to forget a VM putting correctly to the backup job (automatically or manually). Especially if you are working with colleagues (1 person is creating a new VM but is not aware about the backup and forgets to tell a colleague...). It happens.Everyone is very busy so can forget to add the new VM at the backup job or vSphere folder or tag or... To be sure we have several options to verify :Using Veeam ONE If you are using already Veeam ONE : perfect!You can schedule the report Protected VMs so you can v

How to get started with Veeam  for a student?

I have been approached by Veeam to write blogs for them so I wanted to reach out to the community to see if there were specific topics of interest?  Thinks like Cloud Data Protections, NAS Backups, CDP, etc. If there is something you would like to see let me know so that I can add it to my list.  Appreciate the input from the vCommunity as always. 

There are any online course about Veeam?

Simple question for everyone - what was your favorite Day 1 content/session….. and why (yes, have to answer why  )

With multiple reports what seems to be about every week of ransomware attacks, especially the recent big one here in the States on the Colonial Pipeline, I thought it would be a great idea to start a continuing discussion on how best to protect your environment from ransomware. What are ways you can implement ‘security-in-layers’ and configure your backup environment to provide you and your company the best possible recovery scenario in the event of a ransomware attack?I will not provide an exhaustive list, but will instead just begin this discussion off with a few configuration options for your BU/DR environment which can help protect you in the event of a ransomware attack. First, if you’re not aware, Veeam has transitioned from its “3-2-1 rule” to a more wholistic “3-2-1-1-0 rule” > 3 copies of data, 2 media types, 1 copy offsite, 1 copy immutable/airgapped, and 0 recoverability errors. With that in mind, I will start off with the following configuration options I recommend for y

Whats the best practices to use Veeam Agent Backup Free for Windows?

This year has taken us by surprise and unprepared for remote work.  I’m very excited to learn how other companies  handled the remote working, and  what resources are available to better our position.  

As we are hit by more and more Ransomware attack because of pandemic that took workforce out of office and put them in home office, where security was not great. Where is the Veeam against this war?

Any suggestions on how to get my company to purchase an Enterprise license?  Currently, the company is using the free version of Veeam. 

 i had some discussion on the matter of retention times in context of protection against ransomware/insider attacks. Setting up a hardened repository and making data immutable for a certain amount of time is great stuff to implement. But how long is long enough?I can remember some research or reports stating there is an "average" discovery time of ransomware / encrypted data , but i cant seem to find the articles anymore.What would people here recommend for setting retention times for specifically protecting against these attacks?I'm thinking about something arround 14 - 31 days of immutable daily backups at minimum. Any shorter has higher chance of matching an attackers' maximum amount of patience for example, to just let data expire on the repo before taking action perhaps.Or are you seeing pretty short detection times in your experience and the most recent backup was used most of the time to recover? I'm crossposting from the R&D forum. Perhaps it is better to dicuss this here.

Hey everyone! My first time in the social lounge.  Are the sessions only in the mornings?

Please include NAS backup jobs in the Latest Job status Report. In general more reporting for the NAS jobs would be beneficial. We have compliancy requirement to provide a report of our Full backups completion to our finance department. This has been Surprisingly Difficult to complete with Veeam One.

When user who is using Veeam V10 VUL instance license, their current instance use NAS Share 250GB per instance, so my question is when they upgrade their Veeam Backup to V11, will their license reflect to use NAS Share 500GB per instance?

Opinions about Cisco 3260 as a repo?

For many years I have used Veeam in conjunction with NetApp storage to deliver an extraordinary backup experience for my customers running VMware.  It allows me to do snap based backups and kick off replication.  Then I can take the traditional streaming backup from the secondary storage to another device.The rub is that Hyper-V is NOT seeing the same amount of integration now or ever… With so many folks looking at Azure; it seems like this would be a no brainer.  This would allow for customers to experience a seamless hybrid cloud experience orchestrated at the backup layer without VM stun… Maybe v11 has fixed this… Please someone chime in!!!
