Netapp Volumes or Shares ?

I have an Netapp A900. Volumes have a lot of shares in them. Adding shares individually would be tedious. So the question is, can I add the entire volume to a NAS job and then Veeam will protect all shares within the volume ?

Veeam is not using all available tape drives in library; why?

I have a tape library with 4 drives. Veeam seems to be only using 2 of them. For example, right now I see all 4 drives - 1 is writing to 1 tape job, a 2nd is writing to another tape job, the other 2 drives are sitting, showing “idle”. Yet I have 5 more tape backup jobs sitting in queue, all showing status “0% completed”. Why isn’t Veeam writing some of those jobs to those 2 idle drives? I do have a setting on each tape job to limit it to no more than 2 drives, because I don’t want any 1 job to monopolize all tape drives. But Veeam seems to think that means to use only 2 drives *total*, not per-job. Have I missed some setting? Or set something wrong? I have a lot of data to write to tape every night, and more to come. In fact, I am waiting on 2 more tape drives, for a total of 6. But Veeam isn’t utilizing all the drives in the library. I did ask Tech Support, while I was troubleshooting another tape issue, but I never got a response to this question.Anyone? I feel it has to be something

Tape Configuration Issues

Tape issues, Hey guys, I have been round and round with support and we are not getting far I have 28 tapes in my tape library and VEEAM sees them and reads them, but they are only showing 107gb free of 107gb total storage.  These are 30tb LTO8 drives and the systems UI itself shows the drives are 100% clear thoughts on what else I could try? I have done everything using the itdt.exe tool and still no luck    Thanks in advance

Create iSCSI Target and Storage LUN on Synology DS923+ as Backup Target for VBR

Recently as blogged already, I got a DS923+ Nas and here is one of the guides agreed upon. This short article will discuss how to set up iSCSI Target and Storage LUN on Synology DS923+ for VBR.ISCSI stands for Internet Small Computer System Interface. It revolutionizes storage accessibility by seamlessly transporting SCSI commands over TCP/IP networks, granting unparalleled block-level access to storage devices. This innovative technology bridges the gap between traditional storage systems and modern networking infrastructures, empowering businesses with efficient, scalable, and flexible storage solutions.iSCSI allows you to use a Windows repository with ReFS which leverages FastClone. Do you wish to learn more about why the Storage LUN Better is better than a Mapped Network Drive etc. Create iSCSI Targets/LUNYou can create an ISCSI target or LUn on a Synology DS923+. Since this is a pretty new device, we will create both on the fly.For simplicity, I will create a single LUN and presen

Data Backup Basics XIII: The Role of Testing and Validating Backups in Data Protection Solutions

In the dynamic landscape of data protection, the efficacy of backups hinges not only on their creation but also on rigorous testing and validation processes. This article elucidates the paramount importance of regularly testing backups and underscores the significance of validation procedures, while also shedding light on the practical application of the 3-2-1-1-0 rule—a guiding principle in data backup strategy. Why Testing and Validation Are ImperativeEnsuring Data Integrity Regular testing of backups is essential to verify the integrity of the data being backed up. Data corruption, storage failures, or other unforeseen issues can compromise the integrity of backups. By routinely testing backups, organizations can identify and rectify any anomalies, thus ensuring that their data remains intact and recoverable.   Compliance Requirements Many industries are subject to regulatory compliance mandates that necessitate the implementation of robust data protection measures, including regula

VMDK Parallel processing

Can someone help me with info on how Veeam processes parallel VMDK’s? Does it uses VDDK Libraries or bypasses VDDK and uses its own libraries?  I have seen few backup solutions still struggling to achieve this parallel processing.

KQL for Veeam SysLog in Microsoft Sentinel

I have been working on learning how Veeam SysLog can be utilized with the Azure SEIM tool Sentinel. This entry focuses on what I learned about KQL and an idea of how that can be useful when examining these events. I hope you find it useful, and if anyone wants to know more about the setup, just let me know. What is KQL?Kusto Query Language (KQL) is a powerful, read-only language designed to query structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. It is primarily used with Azure Data Explorer for swift and interactive analysis of vast data sets.Why Use KQL?KQL is optimized for efficiently handling massive volumes of data, making it suitable for tasks like log analysis, telemetry data crunching, and monitoring applications and infrastructure. And is deeply integrated with various Microsoft services like Azure Monitor, Azure Log Analytics, and Application Insights. KQL's syntax is easy to pick up, especially for those familiar with SQL. It includes familiar clauses such as where, summari

restore veeam backup in GCP

Hey all,I have installed veeam backup in GCP and in the policies I have created, both the snapshot and the backup are working (attached images).now i would like to clone this backup that veeam has generated, in a new instance of GCP, but i don't see how to do it.the idea is not to use the veeam windows backup (VBR) or another system, but to do it from GCP.take the structure that veeam has created when leaving the backup and restore or clone the machine in GCP.I don't see the option to do it. maybe it is not possible. someone help me to clarify this issue.I have consulted articles like the ones below, but they do not help me:If it is not possible to do it as I indicate, and I have to use VBR as a prerequisite, what is the point.I mean, is it essential to use it? is it mandatory to have VBR installed and there is no other way?Thanks in advance.
