Veeam not read the correct data usage from Dell Power protect

Hi, We have a Dell Power Protect appliance with 7.5TB of space, when I check the used space on the Veeam console, I found that it's only shows me the pre-compression value as used space (8 Tb). The console also shows me the free value (7 Tb) and I think it's correct after data compression. So I still have other servers to add on veeam with 5TB of data and I want to know if our Dell Power Protect will support this extra space or not. Thank you.

Specific VM Slow to Begin Boot After Restore

Greetings. I have an on-prem Windows Server 2019 Datacenter with the Hyper-V Role enabled running about 10 VMs. I was applying an update to one of the VMs, a Windows Server 2016 running Exchange 2016. The update, CU23, failed, forcing me to restore the machine. Prior to the attempted update I had VeeamZipped it from the B&R 11A CE panel, and so I launched the restore from there. After restoration I had quite a bit of troubleshooting to do to get mail flow back but I was completely successful.The remaining issue is this: Upon VM startup, there is a long pause, 3 full minutes, during which I see the expected black screen with “Hyper-V” logo smack in the middle, but it sits there doing absolutely nothing I can see. No circle of dots, just the Hyper-V text. After 3 minutes the circling dots begin and I have desktop in about 30 seconds. and everything runs normally. The disk layout is the usual Recovery, EFI and OS partitions.Has anyone run into anything similar? Thanks for any thought

Immutable Storage actual disk used per folder

Inherency:Since we bill by actual disk usage for our client utilizing CloudConnect, the existing reports are non-functional for reporting and billing (They report pre-deduplication/reflink data). It took a while to figure out, but there is a way to calculate actual disk space used on a per directory on an immutable repository.Solution:Using: https://community.veeam.com/blogs-and-podcasts-57/check-reflink-and-spared-space-on-xfs-repositories-244 I have extrapolated a script that will give the disk usage of each folder (IE: client) on an immutable repo. This isn't "Data used"; that is what Veeam reports. This is "Disk Used". The actual size on disk after reflinks (duplicated data is only counted once). A note about this script; it appears that the original blog entry is wrong on the size of a block. They attribute it to 4096... which is true... on disk... but the utility used explicitly gives the information in block sizes of 512:https://linux.die.net/man/8/xfs_bmap"units of 512-byt

Veeam Backup Service Fails to Start – AKA How I broke my lab this time…

It feels like everyone is always trying so hard to be perfect, I’m certainly not! But I’m happy to learn from and share my mistakes. I was messing about recently with Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator and made some changes to my lab, and all was fine when I shut down. A few days later I fired up the lab again, but my Veeam Backup & Replication server wouldn’t start its core “Veeam Backup Service” service. I over-engineered my response expecting it to be something far more complex than it actually was, and here’s my story. Hour 1: The Service Won’t StartI fired up my Veeam Backup & Replication server, ready to write my next blog post, uh-oh, the service won’t start! I jumped into the logs and couldn’t see anything of any note, really!This was my log, if you don’t load/can’t read images, the final three lines contained the following:[db] Minimal supported database server version is 10.0.1600.22[db] Connecting to SQL Server (CurrentUser=[NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM], ServerInstance=[W

agent backup error - "Certificate not found"

Good day all, hoping to find someone who has either seen this or may know where I could start to troubleshoot (I'll open a ticket with support as well, just hedging my bets here). We've used Veeam for server/VM backups for a few years and it's awesome.For workstation backups, we've used Carbonite (don't ask, we've tried to get rid of it in the past but got shot down by higher ups/non administrators) but it has been decided that we're not going to renew this year (got about a month left on our annual term).Over the last year, I implemented OneDrive KFM so that our desktop and documents folders are resilient and more "portable", which has made our hardware swaps much smoother and reduced the need for Carbonite.But I digress...while nobody actually said to go find a replacement for Carbonite (it seems to be the thought that OneDrive KFM is a replacement for backups,.which I know it's not), I am looking into alternatives, and Veeam would seem like the logical choice. So I've been doing som

Veeam B&R Suddenly loses connection to NFS repository

I’m a user of Veeam B&R Community Build 11.0.1.1261, and I’ve just started experiencing a problem a second time that I thought was fixed.Some time ago (a couple of weeks to a month), I started experiencing an issue with Veeam backups. When it would try backing up, it would quickly error out with the following error:Warning Failed to synchronize [Backup Repository] Details: Failed to call RPC function 'NfsIsExist': Failed to reset previous connection exception: Permission denied. The first time that happened, I assumed it was because I was disabling Veeam services that I thought were unnecessary. Despite re-enabling them, the error persisted. I eventually realized my installation of B&R was out of date, so I installed an updated version and that seemed to fix the issue for the time being.Fast forward to today, and I’m seeing the aforementioned error again when trying to run backups. The repository is a Synology DiskStation, and I can verify that the share is accessible from a

Veeam Backup for Salesforce walkthrough video

Hey Veeam community. I am starting my New Year’s resolution early and posting my first video on YouTube. It’s a walkthrough of Veeam Backup for Salesforce. I’m planning to post more videos as I find it helps deepen my understanding of various Veeam solutions. I hope to document some parts of Veeam products that I found challenging or hard to implement. I welcome all comments as I know there are a bunch of people here with much more experience at this than I have. Have a great rest of 2022! Cheers!

Big Thank you to the Community Teeam at Veeam

Hi Folks, This is a good time of year to look back and be grateful for things that we have. I think everyone will agree here that the Veeam Community Hub is a stellar success! I wanted to thank the Veeam folks, past and present who have made this place what it is. @Rick Vanover @Madi.Cristil @NikolaPejkova @Kseniya @safiya work/worked very hard to not only keep this place running but to proactively improve it. Even with such success they remain humble and approachable people.As everyone in IT knows, when things are working well people take it for granted (I had a non IT boss once who rather foolishly 😆 claimed to upper management during a meeting that “these systems just run themselves”) but we know they don’t. In contrast, when things go badly the blame game gets targeted squarely on the humans behind the machines or systems. The same is very true about the Community Hub, “It Just Works” in Marketing jargon, but translated into human dialect “It Just Works because of the efforts of

Veeam Amazing Object Storage Tips & Techniques Part 2

One of my roles at Veeam is to work with our Technology Alliance Partners, resellers, and customers assisting them with their object storage related questions. Quite often I need to be able to analyze the S3 API requests that Veeam’s software sends to the object storage repository. One of my favorite tools that I use for this analysis is S3 bucket access logging.By enabling this feature on a bucket, you will be able to capture information on all requests made to that bucket. Requests like PUT, GET, and DELETE are all gathered and stored in a log that you specify when you enable the logging. Please Note: Not all object storage solutions support the S3 bucket access logging, so make sure that you check their documentation and/or support to verify that they support it.You can either use the interface provided by your object storage solution or you can use the AWS CLI. In this article I will use the AWS CLI.The first step is we need a dedicated bucket to store our S3 logs in. It is a
