Wasabi policy permission

Hello,I have to configure S3 Wasabi for the first time and I would like to be sure about the configuration.I will use it as backup copy repository with immutability.1) I create the bucket on Wasabi with versionning + object lock enabled2) I create a policy on Wasabi based on https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... positoriesI need the policy "Immutability Enabled and Helper Appliance Configured Beforehand" right ?How could I limit the policy only to the bucket "backupbucket" ? Because if I understand correctly, the policy in Veeam documentation has permission on all buckets.3) I create a new user and assign the policy4) I create the repository to veeam and set the desired immutability.I think I need some help on part 2 to be sure the user can only write to the "backupbucket".Thanks for your help

VBR Access is Denied

Dear Community, To reach this step, I resolved the error "SSPI authentication failed for user" by following the steps outlined in the official Veeam article: https://www.veeam.com/kb4542 However, I am now stuck at a point where I must assign the appropriate permissions to proceed. Could someone please guide me to where and how to assign the necessary permissions?    Your advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

VMware Backup For Dummies - Compliments of Veeam.

Hello everyone,I was surfing the internet looking for a topic about VMware and I accidentally found this publication. It's only 25 pages long, but it explains in a very objective way how backup works for VMware. I found it very interesting for those who have little knowledge of VMware. It's well worth reading!It addresses the topics in a light and simple way.I recommend it to all of us! Even to value the writer “Lawrence Miller”

Backup security: Why go with on-premises object storage?

Hi there,In this article, I’m going to look at why, as the title says, it’s now crucial to give your infrastructure object storage for writing backups.To do this, though, we need to look at a few things. I’m going to run through them now. Why Enterprise Backups Are Becoming More and More Important In recent years, the amount of data being generated has increased a lot. Companies now need to manage information that is critical to their daily operations. At the same time, with this growth, there are also a variety of risks associated with different situations, such as:Cybersecurity: Ransomware and data breaches are happening more often and are getting more sophisticated.Regulations like GDPR and NIS2 require us to keep data safe and secure.Business Continuity: Losing data can cause a lot of problems for a company. It can damage their reputation, cause financial losses, and disrupt their operations. The answer is on-premises object storage.On-prem object storage is a pretty cool solution

Veeam Vault simple calculator

Hi Veeam communityThe calculator team just posted the latest build of the Veeam Calculators. You can read all about the new feature additions here: Calculators 1.2 released! | Veeam Community Resource Hub.I want to take a second to spotlight the addition of the simple Veeam Data Cloud Vault calculator. The calculators have been able to do Vault calculations for about the last 6 months or so, but in this release, and following the release of VDC Vault 2.0, we wanted to pare down the interface and make something really easy to use. We just ask the questions 'how much and for how long?'. From there you'll be given an estimate on your VDC Vault required capacity. Simple.  A couple of notes:'Source Data' refers to the...well...source. That is to say, an estimate of how much is in your datacenter and within scope. The maths behind data reduction, the magic of Veeam datamovers, repo types...all that stuff is applied but hidden away. Advanced mode opens up some additional variables if needed.

Pre-Check for update VEEAM to Version 12 using VMware

Hello together,before you update VEEAM to Version 12 using VMware vCenter/ESXi please check VMs HardDisks for duplicate UUID. In Version 11 this was never a problem. In the new Version VEEAM checks the UUID and backup will fail.VMware has no problem with that most time. But they know the Problem - https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2006865This command will find any HardDisk with duplicate UUID - please note that this is VMware PowerCLI commandGet-VM | Get-HardDisk | Select @{N='VM';E={$_.Parent.Name}}, @{N='Uuid';E={$_.ExtensionData.Backing.Uuid}} | Group-Object -Property Uuid | ?{ $_.Count -gt 1 }As Service Provider such changes in VEEAM are a total disaster!!

Backups with a Twist: Adding Emoji Spice to Your Job Names

Backups with a Twist: Adding Emoji Spice to Your Job NamesBackups are serious business. They’re the safety net that saves us from a world of pain when the data hits the fan. But let’s face it—backup job names are often duller than an accountant’s Christmas party. “BackupJob01” or “DailyIncremental” might get the job done, but they won’t win any awards for creativity. Enter emojis: the little digital sprinkles that can transform a backup job name from a snooze-fest into a masterpiece of expression. 🎉Why Add Emojis to Backup Job Names? Because You Can: Many modern backup platforms now support Unicode, which means emojis are fair game! It’s like discovering that your boring sandwich can be a gourmet burger with the right toppings. Instant Recognition: Instead of trying to remember if “Backup_Week1” is for your critical systems or just a test run, a 🌐 or 💡 in the name makes it instantly clear. Fun Factor: Who says IT can’t have a little whimsy? Let your backups reflect your mood, yo

VB365 Upgrade Guide from v7 to v8

I’ve created a migration guide for moving from Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 version 7 to version 8.  As you know, version 8 introduces a lot of new changes in the technology and architecture - like postgres database, centralized cache, and proxy pools.  This document will walk through the process of upgrading from v7 to v8, and migrating standalone proxies into the new proxy pools.  Be sure to take care around a “next next next” install, as now with Postgres and NATS, that’s additional workload on the VB365 controller.  It’s recommended to separate out the DB server from the VB365 server outside of the smaller deployments.

Veeam v12.3 Hidden Features

Last week Veeam released its newest Veeam Data Platform version – 12.3. Though I've only recently upgraded, after reviewing their What's New document and perusing around the Console a bit, I thought I would take some time to share with the Community some hidden gems in this newest VDP release.Some of us in the Community were already aware of a “big news” feature to be released “soon”, which was spoken about at VeeamON in Ft. Lauderdale back in June – Entra ID Backup. This feature did indeed make it as part of the v12.3 release…no need to wait for v13, slated for sometime in 2025 Q1 (hopefully). But, there are quite a few other features in this release you may not be aware of. So I thought I'd do another follow-up to my previous two Hidden Features posts – v12 Hidden Features and v12.1 Hidden Features. Let's dive right in! Cyber Resiliency EnhancementsThe main one here is what I’m most anxious to test drive – Veeam Threat Hunter. This new feature may not be a "hidden" one, but if what V

SOBR rebalancing with hardened Linux repo - division by zero?

Most of us love and embrace SOBRs as well as hardened Linux repos for obvious reasons.Once in a while a SOBRs shifts out of balance because VBR cannot predict sizes of VMs and especially chains with changes.Therefore, for a non-immutable repo we have ways to rebalance the SOBR: KB3100: Manually moving backup files between Scale-Out Backup Repository extents (veeam.com)V12 will even bring us the conservation of space optimizations here: New in VBR v12: True per-machine backup files - vNote42This though is and will not be an easy task for the hardened Linux repo, as it will prevent files from being moved between the extents. I e.g. currently face a customers SOBR with one extent having 0% free while the others all have more than 80% free...Question is: Did you ever face this challange? How did you solve it? (Build chains from scratch? Disable immutability, reorg files, enable immutabilty?)

Can we restore the data from there?From Veeam article, Veeam mentioned that “You cannot offload immutable data to the Azure Data Box Device”.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/data_box_seeding.html?ver=120#preparing-azure-data-box-for-shippingI just want to confirm that this article referencing Azure Data Box as a target inside the Veeam software.

SIEM Alert: User Creation and Deletion Detected on Veeam ONE Server

Our SIEM system (Splunk) has detected a risk event on the Veeam ONE Server, involving the creation and subsequent deletion of a user account: Veeam_6043-4343A67F. This action was performed by the user xxxx (a service account). However, no one within our team is aware of this activity, and we could not locate any corresponding event logs on the OS (Windows Server 2019) or within Veeam ONE.Could you please help us understand the following:Is it possible that Veeam ONE itself creates and deletes such user accounts as part of its internal processes? If so, what scenarios or mechanisms within Veeam ONE could result in this type of event?We need to explain this situation to our Security team to ensure that this activity is not a result of unauthorized access or malicious actions. Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for your assistance.

My Experience Building a 3 node Nutanix CE Cluster Lab

About 2 years ago I decided to try out Nutanix and learn a little about how it worked along with Veeam. Like most people this started with a Google search and several blog posts of others who have deployed Nutanix CE in their home labs, mostly nesting inside their VMware environments to save on necessary hardware. So, why not. I downloaded CE, carved out a VM on my VMware host, went through the steps and before long I had a single node cluster running. I setup a couple small VMs on it, added to my Veeam server, setup backups and backup copy jobs, and was off and running. Over time I left it running and didn’t really think much about it. Occasionally, someone would ask about Veeam capabilities with Nutanix and Cloud Connect, or something else, and I could show them, or test out what they wanted to try, but otherwise just left it running. Not too long ago, Nutanix released CE 2.0, however I waited, no rush to change what was working. Then there was the IT crash heard around the world .
