Can we copy a backup copy job?

Yes, Veeam can! (sorry for this pun)Question arose today and I thought this is could be interesting to share: Is it possible to copy a backup copy job? So can a backup copy job use a backup copy job as source job? Yes and no. It is not possible to select the copy backup job directly. But it is possible to select the repository, the (second) copy job searches for backup data. How to create a copy copy job:Start the New Backup Copy Job wizard and enter a name. Here it is required to use Periodic copy (pruning) Copy mode! Note: Source copy backup job can also use Immediate copy (mirroring) mode. On next step, press Add… → From backups... and select the job you want to copy second time.It is important to do so, otherwise, selected source repository (next step) will be ignored!Press Source… and select the repository, the first copy job uses as target. This is the repository this copy job will read backups from. The rest of the wizard can be configured as desired. In joblog you see the sour

The "VERIFIED" Vanguard. Chicago here I come plus IAM/STS

Hi Everyone,I have changed my channel’s name. I figured everywhere I go everything nowadays is verified, except of course for my stuff because I refuse to pay more! However, I can verify myself and what’s more at no cost at all! So welcome to the Verified Vanguard! I will continue to talk about Kubernetes things as well but also introduce more Veeam and Security topics into the content.

Machine Rescan Error: Unable to install backup agent: Cannot find Package version...

Hi Everyone.I was fiddling in my lab yesterday evening which is never a good idea on a Friday after a long week. Trying to setoff some security alarms with different systems that I am testing I went a little too far and somehow nuked the agent distributable package for windows. This morning when getting ready to do some testing with IAM/STS on Ootbi I ran into this error when trying to rescan a manually added machine:ErrorAfter a short search I realized that the redistributable package for Veeam Agent for windows had been corrupted. The solution is quite simple. Mount your Veeam VBR installation ISO and run the VAWRedist.msiVAWRedist.msiRun the MSIAgent for WindowsAfter that I tried the rescan again and everything worked as is should:SuccessI can now go back to my originally planned weekend to do list!

Hi, I have not been inside Veeam for a while.

The one that interests me is “Unable to apply retention policy: failed to delete backup files error…...is locked by running session xxx-xxx [Instant recovery].

File Copy is very slow

By now i’m using “Veeam Backup & Rep” in the free community edition - for testing some things an maybe buying a commercial license in future. The problem is, that “File Copy Jobs” (not Backup Copy) are very very slow.For Example i have to Copy an ammount of single (168.000) files with about 180 GB together to a local target disk. If i use the integrated windows copy feature these Files are copied within about 4 or 5 hours. The FILE COPY Job from Veeam runs for 25 HOURS (by now) and shows a state of 32% ready. What could be the issue for this long duration? The source and target are the same. thanks in advanceG.Huber

Error: Cannot proceed with the job: existing backup meta file 'Daily_File_Backup.vstore' on repository 'RepoName' is not synchronized with the DB. To resolve this, run repository rescan

I had to restore the server that Veeam was on to a snapshot and now I cannot get Veeam to run the daily backup job. If I rescan repositories, it will sit forever and do nothing. Is there another way around this to get backups going again? Thank you!

How to Backup Server from Hetzner via VBR

Hello,I have a problem with configuring the Backup Job.We have one server hosted on Hetzner and I need to backup it just once and restore it.I don’t know what could be the prerequisites for this, do I need to expose our VBR ports to the Hetzner?Currently I manage to create protection group, added Hetzner server without any problems, rescaning is working, but when I try to create a backup job using Veeam agent it fails with the following error message:3/4/2024 14:03:40 :: Failed to send backup job configuration to X Error: Failed to update backup job Managed by agent job name: Agent Backup Policy 3.Invalid job configuration.Connection problems.Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.Failed to establish connection: no valid IP addresses were found.A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond VBR IP Addres:10005

Oh No! Someone deleted my KMS Key!

Recently @Julia F Morgado and I have released a blog post talking on the Best Practices to a secure AWS environment.https://www.veeam.com/blog/aws-security-best-practices.htmlIn this guide, we emphasize the significance of data encryption and utilizing the AWS Key Management Service (KMS). Encrypting data is crucial to thwart unauthorized access, and when combined with immutability, it not only protects against data theft and misuse but also guards against the malicious deletion of data.There’s also a third risk even with those two practices that I would like to share, which is the KMS key being deleted. Say you’ve done everything right and encrypted your immutable backups with a key, then your production and/or other copy of the data (3-2-1 rule, right?) have been attacked, locked or encrypted, and someone have deleted the KMS key to your backups, how will you recover?Andreas Wittig from Cloudonaut wrote an interesting scenario where a combination of some pre-conditions could lead to

Resetting CBT per job settings for active fulls

We relocated one of our VMs to another backup job and noticed that the job completion status information for the VM is “Resetting CBT per job settings for active fulls”. Our backup jobs are configured with incremental backups and one synthetic full backup per week. I am curious if we move one of the VMs to another backup job, does Veeam automatically perform an active full on it? Thanks Pete

Veeam options for longer term copies

Running Veeam v12 and currently backing up for 14 days to a local HPE storeonce.I want to also put a longer term copy into an AWS S3 bucket for about 1 year. Probably once a month.The best option I think is to perform a backup copy, not via a SOBR.If via copy is there a compatibility issue creating a copy job from storeonce catalyst repos to S3 repos? thoughts?

Random failures on new setup

So we are deploying Veeam for ourselves and I have been fighting with it for a few days. Our setup is: Veeam server - Non-Domain joinedVeeam Proxy - Linux with XFS volume attached via RDM in VMwareA scale out Repo setup that is backed by the xfs volume from the Linux machineOur primary Altera arrays are also added into Veeam under the storage Infrastructure and i am able to browse the snapshots on them and perform restores. Both servers are located in the same site/network. The storage is coming from a LUN on an Altera Hybrid array that is presented to both hosts in the esxi cluster.We have a mix of domain joined, non-domain joined windows machines along with some random Linux boxes. I just have a simple nightly backup job created that has all of our servers included in it. I have selected the Linux proxy for the backup proxy in the job which then pulls in the Scale-out Backup Repo. In the advanced settings everything is default with the exception of changing the compression level
