Veeam proxy network for vSAN backups

We have a vSAN cluster where the vSAN network is physically separated on different network switches from the management and other VM networks. When configuring Veeam backup proxy for VM backups on vSAN, what interfaces or connectivity is required? What traffic flows over which interface? Is the below understanding correct or we need only one interface on the backup proxy connecting to the ESXi mgmt network? ESXi: vmnic0 - esxi mgmt  (connected to a pairA of network switches)vmnic1 - vsan (connected to pairB of network switches) NIC0 - connectivity to ESXi Mgmt (Connects to ESXi/vCenter for VM and esxi details, mouting the backup VM disk to the proxy VM)NIC1 - connectivity to the vSAN inetwork (data of the VM is fetched through this interface) Thanks,Sudhir

I can't create replicas

I had a problem with our host server in production and I had to activate the replicas on our second backup host, later I applied permanent Failover, after reestablishing the first host that had the problem, I created replica routines from the backup host server to the main one and I applied permanent Failover, finally, I recreated the replication routines from the main server to the backup server, however, it is no longer working, an error keeps appearing that I couldn't find on the community forum. Failed to process replication task Error: Failed to create planned VM configuration (path: 'D:\9ca0c3d4671a45888343cf0b4ef75605(20)\Virtual Machines\545b475e-2040-49fe-bffb-d9133f3739f4.vmcx').

How to use powershell to get VMs in a backup job that are in a folder?

Using the cmdlet Get-VBRJob I can get the backup job.  Pipping this to Get-VBRJobObject shows me the objects backed up by this job.Most of the VMs in this backup job exist in folders so all I see are a list of those folders.How do I get the VMs contained in these folder?

VBR Security Trusted hosts

Good morning community,just a quick question regarding the Linux hosts authentication. Regarding Security & Compliance Analyzer, it’s best practice to set this to manually.Is the only option, to get information about the current acknowledged systems so far, by exporting them, and check the exported file? Is there an option to get these informations from the config-database or from anything else?Couldn’t find anything int the user guide: Adding Computers to Trusted Hosts List - Veeam Plug-ins for Enterprise Applications thanks in advance, best regards Markus

How to use the Data Domain repository mtree replica at the DR site?

Scenario:Very recently a customer asked me if Veeam could leverage Data Domain mtree replica for DR purposes.Of course, the answer is YES! While this idea is not new, I thought it would be a good reminder of Veeam’s backup import capabilities. Steps:You must use Data Domain repository on the source site. It most likely will be declared as a DDboost share. The mtree should be replicated to the DR site. Note that the mtree replica will be Read Only! The mtree replica needs to be exposed as a share over your protocol of choice (CIFS, DDboost), so it can be defined in the DR VBR server. In this example, I chose DDboost.Note again that this DDboost share is Read Only! The last step is to declare that DR DDboost share and import backups You should now be able to access these backups from the “Disk (Imported)” section. Remember that you will have to manually rescan that repository in order to refresh new “mtree replicated” restore points.

How can i remap Unstructured Data Backup Copies when the Repository changes IP-Adresses?

Hey there, we need Offsite-Backups of our Unstructured Data. Since the Backup Files are roughly 3,5 TB in Size, its impossible to get that Data to the Site directly due to slow Internet Connections. So i first configured a Secondary Target NAS for the Backup Job Onsite to get that Backup Copy onto it. I then moved that NAS to the Offsite Location, changed it’s IP and added it back into Veeam as a new Repository. Did a Rescan of that new Repo and Veeam found the Backup Data and added it. I now added that new Repo to the secondary Target in the Veeam File Backup Job and removed the first one (which was the same NAS with the Onsite IP which is now invalid). I then restarted the actual Backup Job. It created some data, finished teh Job and the new Backup Copy Job started. But here’s the problem: It completely ignores the Backup Copy already in existence on that (now) Offsite NAS and instead starts creating a whole new Backup Copy. This is absolutely inacceptable. How can i tell Veeam, that

Veeam 12.1.2 New features

I was alerted to the CVE in some Slack RSS feeds.  I figured why not get the new patch that was released and installed it. Quite simple and straight forward, which is usually the case with Veeam.I did a bit of digging into the KB and was quite excited to see that they included more features into this than I was expecting. I figured this was mostly to fix the CVE’s.   New Features and EnhancementsPlatform SupportAlmaLinux 9.3 and Rocky 9.3 supported for use as Linux-based backup repositories and backup proxies.

Changing the temp location for VB&R 12.1

Is there a way to change the temp location that Veeam B&R uses for the console?  We have a script that cleans out the C:\Windows\TEMP directory nightly and when it does, we can no longer launch the VB&R console.  I get an error “Access to the path ‘C:\Windows\TEMP\Veeam\$VeeamUpdates’ is denied”If I create C:\Windows\TEMP\VEEAM I can launch the console. The script is from our management software and I am not sure if changing the system variable will make a difference.  That is why I am asking if there is a way to change it in VB&R itself.Thanks
