🚀 🆕 Just announced and focused solely on virtualization  🔝ℹ️https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/introducing-red-hat-openshift-virtualization-engine Let me tell you a little about what it is about. Virtualization with OpenShift: Simple and Socket SubscriptionOpenShift Virtualization is the virtualization feature that comes built into all versions of OpenShift, from the most basic to the most complete. If you are looking to migrate from platforms like VMware, OpenShift Virtualization Engine (OVE) is ideal for managing and operating your virtual machines (VMs) with a low-cost subscription.OpenShift Virtualization Engine (OVE) is designed exclusively for virtualization, with a per-socket subscription , it does not include functions to modern

Running Veeam Backup for M365 v 7.1.0.1501 on a Windows Server 2002 Standard VM (the VM is AD joined) and trying to create a backup repository on an SMB shared folder on an AD joined NAS on my LAN, and I'm unable to add the repository. In Veeam, if I go: "Repositories > Add > Backup to Local Disk > Path" ...then enter the path to the SMB shared folder on the NAS ("\\NAS-NAME\SHARE-NAME\FOLDER-NAME"), I can click "Get free space" and Veeam calculates the correct amount of free disk space (so it seems to be able to see the NAS), but if I click "Next" to add the repository, I see: "Specified folder does not exist on the backup proxy. Do you want to create it?? If I click "Yes" I get the error: "Access to the path "\\NAS-NAME\SHARE-NAME\FOLDER-NAME" is denied." I'm able to browse the share in Windows explorer and browse to the folder I'm trying to add. Veeam is installed on an AD j

Hello everyone, In this post, I will cover the steps to configure Single Sign-On in Veeam Backup for AWS and thereby use a user managed by an identity provider instead of using local users in Veeam Backup for AWS, ensuring greater security when accessing the tool.Veeam Backup for AWS supports SSO based on the SAML 2.0 protocol, so any identity provider that uses SAML 2.0 can be used. In this article, I will use Azure AD itself as an identity provider to make it clearer how to perform each step. To start, log in to the Azure portal and go to Enterprise applications:  Click on "New application":  Then choose the option "Create your own applica

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 t

Hello,If we not setup team chat this mean VDC only backup teams channel and teams group? Also when click ‘set up teams chats’ there are information ‘may incur additional cost’.Cost of what? Any calculation to estimate the extra cost?

We are doing backup evacuation to that we can recover some of the storage. However, after the evacuation, some of the backup files show the following:If I copy the path, it points me to an available extent where the file has been copied. I also did a restore with the some of the files shown above and able to do a restore. So why does it still show that the files are in an extent in maintenance mode which is not correct since the files have been moved already. Bug or defect or has a information purpose?

A new KB was published yesterday to provide guidance on using Veeam Agents to backup VM's hosted by XenServer and XCP-NG environments managed by Xen Orchestra. It's not direct VM-Level backups, but since I know people have been requesting XenServer and XCP-NG support (especially in Reddit it seems), it's a step in the right direction.  This was previously posted a couple months ago (link below) but I wanted to share the official KB. This article documents how to use Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows and Veeam Agent for Linux, managed by Veeam Backup & Replication, to protect virtual machines in XenServer and XCP-NG environments that are managed by Xen Orchestra. While these hypervisors are not directly supported for VM-level interaction by Veeam Backup & Replication,

SQL Transaction log backup seems to be failing with "Failed to perform internal backup."We just did a big repair of one of our DBs. When I re-enable the backup job (with SQL transaction log backup), it started failing with the following error. Failed to perform internal backup (DBName): Code = 0x80040e31 Code meaning = IDispatch error #3121 Source = Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 Description = Query timeout expired COM error: Code: 0x80040e31 We can see data being moved as shown in the Report so is the Transaction Log backup really failing or it is just doing catch up with the large change? I’m sure if we run a full backup or possibly change the log backup interval to longer, this will resolve the error. Thanks.

Hello.The question is related to adding S3-compatible object storage. Company-developed proprietary BLOB stores in ceph have their own implementation of the S3 surface. When adding S3, you can select a bucket, but when you select folders inside the bucket or when creating a new STORAGEClass error, the storage class uses erasure code.The question is what storageclass does veeam12 use?! since it worked on version veeam 10.How can I see through the logs which storageclass is trying to connect to the storage?  

I have more than 2000 Entra ID users but only have 900 M365 subscription licenses.When we setting the VDC to backup all tenant, will the VDC only take any user who have active license in M365?

Over the last several years Microsoft has been moving into Microsoft 365 with their services. With this migration they have introduced many new features into the eco system to make day to day communication and processes smoother. In this same transition Microsoft has also moved to depreciate legacy technologies for newer features that are purpose built for the ecosystem and modern data communication. We are in the process of what is now the second depreciation cycle of legacy technologies in Microsoft 365. The first being when on-prem services did not make it to the cloud and now with the deprecation of legacy APIs on January 31, 2023. Its important to note that depreciated does not mean these services are nasally going to be shut off but further support by Microsoft and third-party access to these services will also be limited if at all. In this case, services in Microsoft 365 that did not make the cut, by Microsoft, to be coded into the Microsoft Graph API with modern APIs will no

Today, I tried to restore a file for the Linux server, it failed and the error message was “Unable to obtain IP address for host ‘ubuntu2310”I check the Log from Restore Session, it show “Failed to mount restore point.

I am currently trying to backup 2 physical servers with Veeam.The target servers are running RHEL 6.6 (2.6.32-504.1.3.el6.x86_64).When I try to include them in a Protection Group to create a backup job, I am encountering an issue where one server succeeds and the other fails.In the Veeam Console UI, it shows up as failed with the message "The server has closed the connection." When checking the log related to the Rescan Task, the main error message is "Failed to upload package file from "D:\veeam\Backup\Packages\veeamdeployment-12.2.0.334-1.x86_64.rpm" to "/tmp/veeamdeployment-12.2.0.334-1.x86_64.rpm". Timeout: 10800 sec, mode: 644 (Veeam.Backup.Common.CRegeneratedTraceException)".It seems unrelated to the fact that the file upload to the server is not possible.This is because the situation is as follows:- Use root account when backing up Veeam- Veeam backup server and backup target server are located on the same network- SELinux an

Dear Expert!I need your assistance with the Veeam Backup issue. I tried numerous times to resolve this issue, but none of my ideas appear to be effective. Could you please provide any suggestions for resolving this problem?Error Message: Unexpected packet type: [%1]. Unable to retrieve next block transmission command. Number of already processed blocks: [997]. Failed to download disk. read: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host Failed to upload disk.

I try to restore my bare metal server using veeam recovery media to VMware esxi.When i try to restore i got warning ‘OS disk in backup uses MBR disk’, then i check the created VM using EFI.I try change from EFI to BIOS then do same thing, then the recovery media say different warning. The waring now say ‘OS disk in backup use GPT disk.So why with same backup file, the warning message is different?

Over the years we have encountered lots of situations where other engineers disable a job with the intention of returning later of after a day or so to enable the job, but this never happens.There are 100+ reasons to disable a job but lots of times, a job is disabled with the intention of enabling it shortly after. We just do not have the correct option to use.It would be nice if instead of disabling a job we had the option to PAUSE FOR 30m, 60m, 90m, 1day, 2days, 1week, custom length. -MarioPS. No need to expand on what happens when disaster hits and a job had been disabled weeks ago…

Is it possible using Veeam to create a bootable clone of a system disk to a second local drive? I don’t want to have to use recovery media to restore the OS.I have a server with two physical spinning disks that are not RAIDed (can’t rebuild the server to do this) so I want to create a bootable clone. There are numerous free tools out there, but as we already use Veeam I thought I’d find out if it can do this first. Thanks

When we add user from Entra ID, how long this user will be shown in VDC?I try add new created uses on Entra ID as VDC admin user but even wait more than 10 minutes, the new user still not showing.

Over the holidays our Veeam QA/DEV teams working at Veeam speed validated AOS 7.0. There is no new enhancements in this version for VBN AHV v7. It was requested by our joint customers. We are also validating AOS 6.8.1.6 which is TBD at the moment. The updated AOS is now reflected in our VBN AHV v7 user guide link below😀.Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV v7 User Guide Note: Veeam has validated AOS 6.8.1.6. Here is the Veeam forum post - https://forums.veeam.com/nutanix-ahv-f51/aos-6-8-1-6-t97478.htmlThanks,Pete

Trying to upgrade Veeam from 12.0 to 12.1, and the original installer has left. How would we reset the credentials so we can perform the update? We thought our service account was used but apparently not. All attempts to update have failed so far. Part of the issue is most NASA accounts require PIV card authentication, and I don’t know if that plays well with a Veeam update. The service account is PIV exempt. The current version is pushing an old version of the kmod veeamsnap that won’t work with the current RH kernel. Why don’t we just rebuild the kmod in the fly every time a new kernel arrives like other kmods seem to work? Like CUDA for example.

Dear Community,Greetings! I’m reaching out to see if anyone has encountered a similar issue. When I click on the GCP appliance in Veeam and select Rescan, I receive the following error:Could anyone help explain what this error means and how to resolve it?Looking forward to your insights and suggestions!
