Request suggestions on designing a VBR server that can be a backup target for critical VMs

I am looking for recommendation on how to design a server that can run VBR and that can be a storage repository for critical VMs. I am thinking about using this new server for instant restores or other Veeam tools that can bring a work load up quickly. This server would have high speed storage to improve the performance of the restores. Currently I run VBR on the VMware cluster that I am backing up and I want to move VBR to stand-alone server that would stay up if the VMware cluster went down. We currently use a Linux server with spinning disks and immutable storage as our primary backup target. Thank you for your suggestions and recommendations.

Full Storage Not Found - How I resolved this error

I wanted to create this in the hopes that in the future, someone who is experiencing this error will find this thread and see a solution. I randomly had a backup start throwing the below error:Failed to pre-process the job Error: One or more errors occurred. Unable to apply retention policy: failed to delete backup files Error: Full storage not foundThrough some Google searching, all I could really find was to run an Active Full and start a new backup chain. I tried this, but the error still persisted. At this point, I did the only other thing I knew to do, so I told Veeam to delete the restore points for that job from disk, and I then ran a new active full. I essentially started over with a fresh dataset. I was able to get a successful backup after this.In conclusion: if you ever run into this issue, try running a new active full. If this does not resolve your issue, go to your restore points (the Disk section in VBR), and tell Veeam to delete from disk all of those restore points fo

NAS backup using NDMP protocol.

Hi folks, I need to understand a little bit about NAS backup using NDMP protocol. I have read this article https://www.veeam.com/blog/nas-data-protection-best-practices.html written by Matt Crape. In particular I want discuss about third modelThree-way model: In this model, backup data flows from NAS to the backup server, which then sends that data to the backup device. This model requires three-way communication between NAS, the backup server and the backup device. Some advantages of this model are that it allows for better control over the backup process and greater scalability. However, this option may also introduce additional load on your network.If I understood VBR Server manage backup, after connecting with NAS, and write on a primary repository. HAve you experience in this model backup? I will try to push the customer to use classic file backup starting from here https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/hyperv/file_share_support.html?ver=120 But if our client want use NDMP I n

2 backup jobs of same servers to Repo and Cloud

(7 days immutability. My question goes on - what would be the best practice:2 Backup jobs of all servers ( 1 to local repository and 1 to Cloud repository) 1 Backup job of all servers to local repository and then setup a Scale-Oout Repository to move the backup onto a cloud provider. Just wanted to know your opinion before I go in dialog with the consultant.Looking forward to hear your recommendation… /Peter

Backup fails, no proxy available

Hi, I’m trying to back up a VM running on a standalone ESXi v8 host using Veeam B&R v12 Community edition. When I set the job up it ran successfully but all subsequent (scheduled) backups fail with “Failed to create processing task for VM Sophos Firewall Error: No proxy available”.If I edit the job without changing anything (just applying the same settings) it will run. Also, if I do the same with the VMWare Proxy object or the veeam server object (in Backup Infrastructure > Managed Servers) it will also run. In all cases it will only run the first time after applying the settings. Again, all subsequent runs fail.The veeam ‘server’ is an i3 8GB Windows 10 22H2 x64 PC. What looks to be the root cause is an entry in the job backup log that says:[ProxyDetector] VMware host API version is V800. Skipping not x64 proxies[ProxyDetector] VMware host API version is V800 and all available proxies are not x64 so we can not use it with such API versionI’m not sure what to do with this;

Unable to Detach Backup from Job when converting repository to Per-Machine Backups after v12 upgrade

Ran across an interesting quick issue post v12 upgrade. I had a client who I upgraded to v12 (via our Service Provider Console). I had some clients where after the upgrade, some copy jobs were not reenabled. NOTE: The upgrade shows as a success, but if you view the upgrade job details, it does note that the jobs weren’t reenabled. Anyhow, I was poking that clients machine this morning and realized the copy jobs were disabled but also decided to convert them from per-job chains to per-machine chains. I changed the backup repositories to per-machine, but when I attempted to detach the backup job from the restore points, I received the below error message. Veeam error dialog stating “Disable the primary job and all dependent secondary jobs before detaching the backup.” The strange part about this was that I had already disabled the backup jobs, and the secondary copy jobs were already disabled. Thinking that perhaps it was tied to the replication jobs (metadata), I tried disabling

Near-zero Replication for Veeam Repositories

In this demo I illustrate how you too can utilize the Pure Storage platform to provide rapid recovery and near-zero replication for your Veeam repositories.This lab consists of 2 Pure arrays, 2 vSphere clusters and a single VCenter. Though in this lab we could use other means to provide recovery, say through vSphere, this setup up was used to simply illustrate an easy to use and efficient DR strategy from Production to a DR cluster. Utilizing, Veeam.In this lab I built 2 Veeam servers. The first holds the Veeam Backup Server, proxy, and primary repository. The second runs the Veeam Disaster Recovery (VDRO) server and is the remote repository. In this lab – I do not utilize VDRO for recovery – that will come in a later post.Normally, in a Veeam scenario like this there would be 2 Veeam jobs providing restores and the local and remote sites. The first would be the primary backup job to the repository local to the production site. The second, would be what is called a backup copy job from

DR with Veeam Orchestrator and Pure Storage

I have been thinking a little more about how best customers can best utilize their technology to build in fool-proof data protection. Data protection which helps eliminates risk normally associated with managing a data protection solution.I have spent a long time dealing in this space, and I have found, that it’s common for organizations to put data protection solutions on the back burner. Utilizing cheaper, and sometimes older technology that lacks features and tools that reduce management risks. Because it isn’t viewed production data.This is only true, until it is. When your production is offline, you need a reliable solution to get you back to work, as fast as possible.Now, my approach has always been to match the best technology. Careful not to overcomplicate, but enough to allow best in breed, or match technology that is first class in their space to build the solution. So, in this demo I will show how features in Pure can help support those in Veeam. So, what does this demonstra

Copy Job to Object vs SOBR

I’m going to be likely setting up a new client on a VBR VM with a local NAS as their primary repository (I know...I’d rather do a purpose-built physical server but cost is an issue) and Wasabi object storage for an off-site copy (and likely replication to 11:11 Systems VCC for DR). I’m curious now that we have backup to object and copy to object capabilities, what you folks are doing for that second copy? Traditionally I obviously have used a SOBR using Wasabi as the capacity tier in Copy mode (move mode disabled *usually*, but I just noted that I’m performing copy and move for my internal server) so that I had the data in both locations. However, now that we can backup and copy direct to object, curious if anyone has abandoned the SOBR and are instead using a copy job to send data to the object storage and are keeping the data there with the traditional copy job managing things. @Nico Losschaert posted a debate about the pro’s and con’s of this a couple years ago at the below link,

Moving production backups to a Scale-Out Repository to free space

Hi all, Running Veeam Backup and Replication V11 on an Enterprise license - we have been backing up to HPE StoreOnce repositories for nearly a year, but due to operational changes with more VM’s, additional encryption and retention requirements we are filling these up faster than anticipated (less de-dupe). We would like to move our older monthly/yearly backups to Azure storage for long term retention in order to free up space on the StoreOnce devices for our nightly/weekly backups and restores. Initial research suggests that creating a Scale-Out repository, adding the existing StoreOnce repository as the performance tier extant and a new Azure object storage container as the capacity tier extant is the way to go. The documentation confirms this will re-point all existing jobs to use the new scale-out repository when they next run and anything older than X days (whatever we set in the capacity tier option) will be automatically offloaded to the capacity tier. The questions I have are:

VMCA 2022 - Finally passed after 3 try's

Hi Guy’s The path to success is rarely linear; it often winds through setbacks, challenges, and moments of doubt. My journey through the VMCA (Veeam Certified Architect) exam epitomizes this truth, culminating in a well-earned victory with a score of 79%. It's a story of resilience, growth, and the satisfaction that comes from persevering against the odds.Adding a unique layer to my journey is the fact that I have spent the last seven years dedicated to working with Veeam, a prominent player in the realm of data protection and management. This experience has given me an extensive and intimate understanding of the intricacies of data backup, recovery, and virtualization management.The VMCA exam was no small feat during my first two attempts, with scores of 55% and 64% respectively. Yet, each outcome held within it a lesson, a piece of the puzzle that would eventually lead me to success. These results could have deterred me, leading to discouragement and abandonment, but they had the opp

Veeam v12: move or copy backups with VeeaMover

VeeaMover is a cool new feature available in the next Veeam Backup & Replication v12 that allows to move or copy backups to different locations.If you need to change the target repository for a Backup Job containing existing backups, a warning message is displayed and the procedure cannot be finalized until the backups have moved to the new repository.With current versions of Veeam this is a manual, time-consuming operation. Here is where VeeaMover come into play. Use casesCommon VeeaMover use cases are the following:Move backups to different repository Copy backups to different repository Migrate ReFS to XFS for Hardened Repository Migrate NTFS to ReFS Re-balance Scale-Out Repository Scale-Out Repository extent evacuation Move backups to a different locationThe target Repository can be changed also in an existing Backup Job.
