In today's digital landscape, ensuring the availability and integrity of your data during disasters is paramount. A robust disaster preparedness plan for your backup solutions is essential to safeguard against data loss and minimize downtime. This article will give an overview about best practices for disaster preparedness specific to backup solutions, including offsite backups, site-redundancy, and failover strategies. 1. EncryptionImportance of Encryption: Encryption is essential for protecting your backup data from unauthorized access and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. Encrypted backups safeguard sensitive information even if the physical media or files are compromised.Best Practices:Data Encryption: Encrypt data both at rest and in transit. Use strong encryption algorithms such as AES-256 to secure your backups. Key Management: Implement robust key management practices. Store encryption keys separately from the encrypted data and use hardware security module
Hi, I have a problem with the transaction log backup.I have 4 SQL servers in one backup job. The full backup and incremental backup are running fine. However, the transaction log backup stop running on Nov 30. They were running fine before it stopped. I also have configuration set to run the transaction log backup every 8 hours and it doesn’t run neither.Here is what i have done and what I observe so far:1. I also did something that’s suggested on the internet forum, disable and then enable the backup job. However, the transaction log backup is still not triggered/started.2. It seems like the transaction log backup never starts after the failure on Nov 30. So there is no report for the transaction log backup after Nov 30. 3. The statistic page shows the transaction log backup job failed, not pending. So, apparently, the transaction log job is stopped or shutdown and won’t re-run4. The Veeam server was rebooted last Saturday and it didn't help.5. The last time it ran had a
Hello everyone. A costumer of ours have a problem after the 27/12. Until this day all the backup is working fine with the incremental on the most of them take 10-20 min, sudenly on the 27/12 all the backups take to long to complete. Like 1+ hour when 1 week before the same backup is taking 10 min. On the most of them i see a 99% bottleneck on the source but when i go to investigate the source machine everythink is showing fine. ANd this situation with the bottleneck is not showing on all the backups, on some the data is look fine ( like what is looking before 27/12 ) like 40 source, 15 proxy 20 network etc but and on this jobs the timers is extremely long. Any suggestion?PS: That start a day, there no change on the infastructure or anythink that can start a befavior like this Best Regards
Anyone have a need for this:Currently customers have 2 options when connecting a Tape Server to a Tape Library1: Physical Tape Server: attached to the Library/FC2: Multiple Virtual Tape Servers: partitioning the tape library so each Tape Server (VM) will see only select drives, and slots.Either way would maximize the throughput of data transference. Currently having 1 VM as Tape Server does not maximize the libraries efficiency throughput.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110You can add multiple tape servers to the same installation of Veeam Backup & Replication. But mind that you cannot add one tape library to two different tape servers and write data to it from both tape servers.Would this work: Ability to have multiple tape servers within single VBR see and manage same multi-drive tape libraryTo optimize the use of libraries and drives, it should be supported between multiple Tape Servers within a single VBR. Although the library’s media changer is controlled b

Hi,I share with you several changes that I have been working on to improve the AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR script. Next year I will be working on adding the option to generate the report in other languages besides English!!!!.Here is a short summary:https://techmyth.blog/en/posts/abr-veeam-vbr-0_8_13/Happy Holidays!
I hate asking newbie questions, but I’ve been through the docs more time than I care, but cannot find a simple explanation of what is actually required to perform a simple file restore.Backups are VMware based. On B&R 12.3. I can initiate the restore process, but it hangs(timesout) when I hit the “Browse” button. I do see the B&R server connecting to the linux server with SSH. And in the process, creates some files/folders in /tmp. But does not appear to put anything in /var/logSame issue whether I try and restore to the same, or original server.What are the requirements for a Linux system, to be able to do a file-level restore? What does it need to connect to, what needs to connect to it.Does it, or does it not need the Linux Agent? One of the Linux systems I tried to restore to actually has the agent. But most of our Linux systems do not.Would be nice to find a doc that laid this all out. But if there is I have not found it yet, or missed something.I get that Veeam want
UPDATE-- As of Veeam 12.3… The MorefID Tool is no longer available as its now apart of 12.3 feature set. 12.3 What’s New - https://www.veeam.com/veeam_backup_12_3_whats_new_wn.pdfHelpCenter - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/powershell/veeam_vm_migrator.html?ver=120 Hey Everyone, What is a Moref ID? In VMware, a Moref ID (Managed Object Reference ID) is a unique identifier assigned to different objects or resources within the vSphere environment, like virtual machines, hosts, or data stores. It helps VMware keep track of and manage these objects.Think of it like a name tag that VMware uses to identify and reference each specific object in its system. The MoRef ID naming starts with a prefix stating the object type followed by a hyphen and a number, for example, vm-197, host-29, domain-c26. Every object has its own MoRef address: https://<VCENTER>/mob/?moid=<OBJECTID>. So why is it Important? When a virtual machine (VM) is added to a job in Veeam Backup & Repl
I have a suggestion/issue for/with the VEEAM tape handling…In the definition of a tape pool you can select that tapes from free state are transferred to this pool if required.But when tapes expire in a type pool, then the tapes keep in this tape pool in expired state and are not returned to free state.In the worst case the expired tape accumulate in this pool when there a less tapes needed as before. So the tapes in free state decreases continually and you have to manually transfer the expired tapes in the pools to free state.I think it would be useful when VEEAM does this by itself. Thenn all tape pools can get free tapes and all free tapes are shown in the correct state...What do you think?
Hello, I install VBR on the DR site and in the job i can see this message‘1/2/2025 2:47:59 AM :: No available proxies are running on ESXi management interface subnet. Using proxies from a different subnet, performance may be impacted ‘Some one can help me to make more understanding about that message, how we can improve the performance?
Hello everyone,We have Veeam integrated with vCenter in our environment. There were no issues when adding the vCenter, but occasionally, the host discovery fails with the following error:"Disks and volumes discovery failed. Error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or the established connection failed because the connected host has failed to respond."Environment details:Backup Server OS: Windows Server 2022 vCenter Port: 442 is open vCenter Version: 7.0.3Has anyone faced this issue? Any suggestions on how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!
I have one problematic backup job that is different from my other backup jobs in that I want to use it to backup specific folders on a remote Windows server using file level backup on Veeam Backup and Replication. Whenever the job runs, it fails with the following message:Waiting for rescan job Rescan of Files Backup to completeUnable to process svr: host rescan is requiredNothing to process I have rescanned the Windows server multiple times but the problem persists. I can use help solving this one. BTW: the Veeam Windows agent is installed on the remote Windows server, so perhaps I should change the job to be run by the agent?
