My source VM (using vmware) located in site1, then the VBR server installed in site2.After the job is done then i try to instant recovery to hyper-v, the hyper-v running in site2 also.When mounting process why the VeeamAgent connect to the vmware in site1? Seem the Veeam not take the backup file on local repository. 

Everyone managing VMware understands what we mean when we talk about CPU Ready (%RDY) as a Performance Metric.In this explanation, I will define what it is and how it is measured in OpenShift Virtualization. What is CPU Ready?The term "CPU Ready" can be misleading. One might think that it represents the amount of CPU ready to be used and that a high value is a good thing. However, the higher the CPU Ready, the worse the performance of the vSphere infrastructure, and the more applications will suffer.Official VMware Definition:It is the percentage of time a "world" is ready to run and waiting for approval from the CPU Scheduler.In vSphere, a "world" is a process.The higher the CPU Ready, the more time VMs spend waiting instead of executing.

After some time trying and playing around with the Nutanix CE in Nested mode in my lab,I finally put my hands into a little monster able to handle a Single Node Cluster, My Supermicro E300-9D!Im going to show you the process of Installation, cluster (Single node) creation, in future posts, we will continue seeing new stuff, step by step.Let’s get started:First of all, as we already know, lets download the Nutanix CE from the community portal, to do so, you must be registered, and after installation, you will need your restoration to make it work properly.after downloading the CE ISO, lets boot from the ISO and get started…

IntroductionV12 is launching (register here) on Valentine's day and one of the most anticipated feature is the ability to backup directly to object. As my Valentine's gift to you, I wanted to highlight what's required to get your first V12 backup Direct to AWS S3 going. What do we need?An S3 bucket, an IAM user with the proper policy and a VPC for the helper appliance. A quick note about the V12 direct to object "helper" applianceIn the context of direct backups to AWS S3, the helper Appliance is a temporary EC2 instance that Veeam leverages to perform backup file health-checks.The benefit is to avoid having to "pull-down" any of the backup data on-premises to perform that maintenance operation.

New to Veeam and working with our DB admins to use the Enterprise Manager Restore Portal. The DB can login to the portal and find Databases under Items, but not all of the SQL Servers are listed. The backup jobs are set up for application aware processing and file indexing which I believe are both requirements. Any ideas? 

Higood daythis is my first post on Veeam communitiesplease I need help with adding HyperV hosts to my Veeam infrastructure  I did an upgrade to Veeam 12 about a month ago. I realized that my HyperV hosts were offline. Of four, two are running Windows Server 2022. i saw some things about DCOM Hardening which I don’t want to accept (yet)can anyone help me with measures to resolve this problem? 

I’m have question about the usb recovery drive. For some reason the recovery will not boot into the bare metal utility, it stops and shows a command window. I’m running latest windows 11 so any thoughts as to why this would be?thanks

This blog is the first in a series exploring HPE storage platforms and their integrations with Veeam Backup & Replication. This series will cover how different HPE storage solutions fit into a resilient data protection strategy, starting with the HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, where data is first created, and expanding across backup storage options.  Establishing a Multi-Layered Backup Architecture with HPE  When building a 3-2-1-1-0 backup infrastructure, immutability is critical at as many layers as possible. The 3-2-1-1-0 rule dictates that you should have three copies of your data, stored on two different media types, with one off-site copy, one immutable copy, and zero errors assured through backup verification. While having at least one immutable layer meets the rule, HPE storage solutions allow organizations

I have few questions on the quick migration I am trying to do a quick migration of VM’s  from my 7.x vcenter to my 8.x Whether the VM will be stopped or suspended (and thus inaccessible) during the cold migration and will have impact on production ? If Quick Migration, retains the original UUID of the VMs to ensure the existing backup chain remains intact ?  An estimate of the time required for the migration, considering the same datastore is being used, with the only changes being the hosts and the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) ? I have 5 proxies that I already quick migrated to my new vcenter and backups are running fine, my vbr server I cannot quick migrate because it is not being backed up so I plan on vmotion to new vcenter, do you foresee any issues?

Hi, I have just recently deployed Backup Enterprise Manager into my environment, so I can integrate this directly with PRTG for job monitoring.I have added my main Backup & Replication server into Enterprise Manager and this has discovered my jobs, however I have noticed that it is not displaying my AHV VM backup jobs (listed in B&R as Nutanix Backup type).  I can see my File Backups, Windows and Linux Agent Backups but not the Nutanix ones.Is there a step that I am missing to be able to see these jobs in Enterprise Manager?  I can’t see anything in the documentation and when I try to add the AHV Proxy as a backup server in Manager it won’t let me add it.I’m running B&R 12.3.0.310 and AHV Proxy 7.0.0.241Hoping someone may be able to offer some advice as I am sure it’s something simple if it’s possible. Thanks,Stuart

If you are not familiar with this topic and would like to follow these steps, you can purchase a mini PC from Amazon and install Proxmox VE or any other virtualization solution of your choice. Note: For test purposes, I will be installing VHR on a virtual machine (VM). Installing Veeam Hardened Repository on a Virtual Machine defeats the purpose of adequate data protection as the VM itself can be deleted. Therefore, installing the hardened repository on a physical box is advisable and ensures adequate physical security.Veeam Hardened Repository is a WORM storage solution that protects against unwanted changes to the backup files. It’s available since version 11. Veeam Hardened Repository passed an external audit for WORM storage and meets highest compliance standards. You can read more

How to reintegrate Veeam-Cloud-Connect with VSPC after the management agent has been uninstalled.

I’m really happy to share with the Veeam Community this Open Source Project Called Veeam Decoys.  It is public knowledge that multiple threat actors use various tactics and techniques to identify services when they are already inside the internal networks of the organization they are attacking. In fact, the Mitre ATT&CK Enterprise matrix has two complete tactics, "Discovery" TA0007 and "Lateral Movement" TA0008, which list and explain multiple techniques and tools used by attackers. For example, the most sought-after services within the internal network are Remote Desktop Protocol and SSH. If we review Coveware's reports from this year, in the Q1-2024 report, we can observe that the "Lateral Movement" tactic ranks third among the most used tactics by threat actors according to the percentage of cases: 

Hi All, Doing the initial install of backup for Salesforce CE. Got to the point of connecting Veeam to SF Connected App with key/secret then: HTB8: Salesforce responded with an error: I/O error on GET request for "https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize": PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target; nested exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target The callback URL is showing a certificate error, so I’m not sure whether:I should focus on fixing the URL certificate. I need to whitelist something on the Salesforce side. Both (or something else entirely!) Any suggestions on how to resolve this

Organizations worldwide use Microsoft Entra ID for identity and access management services. Microsoft Entra ID provides a solution to securely manage users, devices, applications, and data across cloud and on premises environments. Businesses rely on this service to manage and secure access to both internal and external resources, making it essential for their operations. With its integral function within organizations, it is also important that is protected.Universally, there is a common misconception when it comes to cloud applications, that there is no need for back up. Why do we think this? Because it resides in the cloud of course! However, despite this viewpoint, it is critical for organizations to protect cloud data for many reasons, I mean it is your data after all. 🤔The first reason we think of is security. It’s not only important to maintain the security of the environment but also its integrity.  Implementing a backup system that can detect
