Implementing Linux Veeam Proxies

Since we added Linux Repositories to our Veeam Backup environment in my post from last week, why not add some Linux Proxies as well? I will show you how in this post. And trust me…this one will be far less painless. But adding Repositories wasn’t so bad, was it? 😏 System RequirementsThe first thing you need to do is check what OS's, hardware, and software are supported. Supported Linux OS's are exactly the same as with Repositories and are listed below:Linux Proxy RequirementsAs far as hardware goes, your server should have a minimum 2-core CPU, plus 1 core per 2 concurrent tasks (take note, this is a peformance enhancement since v12, up from 1 core per 1 concurrent task); and minimum 2GB RAM, plus 500MB per concurrent task. But for best performance and to run multiple Jobs and tasks, you should have much more Cores and RAM than the minimum. As with the Veeam Repository, look to the Veeam Best Practice Guide for actual Proxy sizing guidelines.The remaining requirements depend on the B

12.1 Malware Detection

I love this feature but with the thousands of file types I have I get a ton of false positives.Is there anyway to customize this “per server” with each file type? or disable for some servers/folders etc?When I mark a job as clean, it seems to find the files on the next job. I thought that it should assume those files to be ok going forward.

Root Cause Analysis with Veeam Bottleneck

Since we are Veeam Service Providers in the Cloud companies I work with, I have seen that people do not analyze with Bottleneck on Veeam while providing Cloud Connect service. They didn't even know it was happening. Here I briefly explained Veeam Bottleneck to you.Veeam Bottleneck is a tool included in Veeam Backup & Replication software. This tool helps optimize backup and recovery across virtual and physical environments. Bottleneck helps you complete backups faster and more efficiently by identifying bottlenecks in your backup infrastructure.What is a bottleneck?A bottleneck is when a component or process in a system reaches a point where it limits the performance of the entire system. This can cause slow backups, delays, or even failures when it comes to backup operations.How does Veeam Bottleneck work?Bottleneck monitors the usage of various resources such as CPU, RAM, network, and storage during backup operations. By analyzing this data, Bottleneck can determine which resourc

Increase Your Security with Veeam Inline Entropy Analysis!

Veeam Inline Entropy Analysis is a feature used to detect ransomware attacks. This feature analyzes the entropy of the data stream during backup. Files encrypted by ransomware typically increase in entropy. By detecting this increase, Veeam Inline Entropy Analysis can stop a ransomware attack before it happens.Benefits:Rapid Detection: Ransomware attacks typically occur very quickly. Veeam Inline Entropy Analysis can prevent data loss and system outages by detecting these attacks before they happen. Improved Accuracy: Traditional ransomware detection methods can cause false alarms. Veeam Inline Entropy Analysis aims to minimize the number of false alarms using entropy analysis.How does it work:Veeam Inline Entropy Analysis analyzes the entropy of the data stream during backup.

Restoring the VM Veeam is running on?

Got a weird situation I’m not sure of the right approach. This setup is new to me and has some issues which I fully acknowledge and will be seeking to rectify. I have a restore request to recover the server VM that Veeam B&R is installed on. It’s a shared application server running on Hyper-V and one of the other applications has become corrupted and the system will have to be rolled back. My plan was to take a configuration backup of Veeam so I could recover Veeam to the current state after the server itself has been rolled back. The repository is on separate storage so won’t be overwritten by the restore. What I can’t quite figure out is whether or not Veeam is going to be able to instigate a restoration of the machine the B&R server itself is actually running on. Can it do that or will I have to install a second copy of Veeam on another server and import the backup before restoring it?

understanding Veeam backup proxies

I need to understand Veeam Backup Proxy servers better. I have two sites. They are in different cities, but connected via a P2P, so on the same network. Site one holds my Veeam Backup server, ESX hosts, VMs, primary storage, etc. Site two contains one ESX server and a very few VMs, (one DC, file server, DHCP) and some storage. At site one, all of my backups are scheduled to run and store locally. Then, from site one, backup copies are moved across the P2P to site 2 for "off-site" backup. This works well. The VMs at site 2 are set to backup to local storage at site 2, but the backup runs and was built from site 1. BUT, at site 2, I have a Veeam B&R server as well and it's listed as my proxy server. It's not doing anything. It handles no backups and basically just sits there. So, clearly, I don't understand WHAT a backup proxy is for or how to use it. Can someone explain it to me like I'm a three year old and maybe draw some pictures? Thanks

Veeam Backup & Replication: v12 Compression Improvements

I was going through some Veeam documentation recently and noticed a major improvement to the compression ratios offered in Veeam Backup & Replication v12.Historically (pre v12), if you were to leverage ‘High’ as your chosen compression ratio for a backup job then, relative to the ‘Optimal’ setting, you’d expect to see a 10x increase in CPU consumption, for a measly 10% increase in data compression. This has changed with v12, and you can now expect to see only a doubling of CPU consumption, for a massive 66% increase in data compression!Not to be overlooked however is that Veeam also state you can expect 2x slower restores utilising ‘High’ vs ‘Optimal’. But this could certainly prove a massive benefit for secondary backup repositories, as these are typically the ones storing backups for the longest periods of time, improving density and reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).‘Extreme’ doesn’t miss out on improvements either! ‘Extreme’ was historically a further doubling of the extra

What is GFS Backup and How to Configure It

Veeam GFS Backup:The GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) backup strategy included in Veeam Backup & Replication software is an optimized method for regular and long-term retention of data. It is important for some companies, especially those in the financial sector, to keep long-term data. With GFS, we can take our Annual, Monthly and Weekly Backups and store these backups for as long as we request.Grandfather-Father-Son Hierarchy:Grandfather: At this level, monthly backups are typically stored. It is used to take a full backup on the first and last day of each month and for long-term storage.Father: This is the level where weekly backups are stored. This level of storage can be achieved by taking a full backup any day of the week.Last: This is the level where daily backups are stored. For example, daily backups are provided by taking a full backup at the end of each day.The Schedule of GFS Backup can be seen in the image below. In the image, it can be seen that Weekly Backup is taken on
