Monitoring Veeam Backup with Backup Eagle

Monitoring with Backup Eagle I was recently introduced to a product requiring me to do a PoC to determine if it was a viable monitoring option for my company. I was granted an NFR license to test within my HomeLab for a product named - Backup Eagle by Schmitz RZ Consult GmbH.I was curious about how the Backup Eagle product works compared to other monitoring software. It was a straightforward install for the software based on Java, including the database used to store the data.Backup Eagle is used for Backup Monitoring, Reporting, and Audit & Compliance.Backup Eagle Chart - What you can use it forInstalling the software is very simple after downloading and extracting the zip file. The latest release as of this writing is - 9.9.2.73. Begin the installation using the EXE file and click through the screens.Running the EXE to start the installation processAfter the initial screen, you can install either the BE Server or the Admin Client, a component that can be installed on other system

Backup fails because no space left on device with 3.2 TB free on NFS repository

Hi, I’m running a backup job of fairly big VM (HDD1 = 1 TB and HDD2 = 3.9 TB) using VEEAM 11.0.1.1261.After Deduplication and compression, the backup size ends up around 2.4 TB.The backup storage is a NAS mounted using an NFS connection. In the console, I can check that it still has 3.2 TB left.It has been working fine until last week. Error message : 28/04/2023 16:12:33 :: Processing ubuntu Error: No space left on device.NFS status code: 28Cannot get count from WRITE3res.Failed to download disk 'EvaBuntu_2 - Copy.vhdx'.Shared memory connection was closed.Failed to upload disk. Skipped arguments: [shadowSpec>];Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}. Why is my backup job complaining that there is no more space left while I have 3.2 TB left on my repository?Any advice much appreciated :)

Restoring the VM Veeam is running on?

Got a weird situation I’m not sure of the right approach. This setup is new to me and has some issues which I fully acknowledge and will be seeking to rectify. I have a restore request to recover the server VM that Veeam B&R is installed on. It’s a shared application server running on Hyper-V and one of the other applications has become corrupted and the system will have to be rolled back. My plan was to take a configuration backup of Veeam so I could recover Veeam to the current state after the server itself has been rolled back. The repository is on separate storage so won’t be overwritten by the restore. What I can’t quite figure out is whether or not Veeam is going to be able to instigate a restoration of the machine the B&R server itself is actually running on. Can it do that or will I have to install a second copy of Veeam on another server and import the backup before restoring it?

Veeam Recovery Media - Will not restore .vbk

Hello,I am experimenting with VBAR11 in a home lab. The backed-up data itself is not important.Boot into recovery mode via usb key. On the usb key is a .vbk file, no .vbm Use bare metal recovery option, veaam is not able to find the .vbk, if I manually select the .vbk, veeam complains about corrupted .vbm file.So it seems that recovery agent, must have a valid .vbm. but in a disaster recovery situation and the .vbm is corrupt, how do i restore?I do know that VBAR itself, can import .vbk without .vbm, so cannot recovery agent do that same?Second question, using the the recovery boot agent, how do i mount the .vbk?Thanks,Dave

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure: Updating Account Permissions

With the release of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure v4, I thought now would be a good time to discuss how to handle account permission changes. This tends to be required when Veeam release updates to the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure product, typically required to support new functionality.I was greeted by the request for all of these permissions after updating from v3 to v4Once you sign into Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure after an update, you’ll likely have a notification similar to the above, depicting the missing permissions.There are two ways to update the permissions, and I’m going to take you through them both now. Method 1: Let Veeam Update its Permissions Yep, Veeam can handle this for you, and it’s really easy.Step One: Enter the Configuration section of the Web UI. Navigate to Administration > Accounts. Find your Azure account, select ‘Edit’.Step Two: Within the Edit Azure Account screen, edit any name & description details if required, otherwise click next to en

Veeam v12 Hidden Nuggets (Features) You May Not Have Known About

I'm sure you all have heard about a lot of great features Veeam has added to its latest release like - ability to backup directly to Object Storage instead of the need to use SOBR tiers, choice to use PostgreSQL as your VBR configuration database, introduction of VeeaMover technology to move Backup files to new jobs or Repositories, increased security such as Multi-Factor Authentication, and many others. But there are quite a few features in Veeam v12 you may not know about. I'll be sharing what some of those are in this post PostgreSQL - AAIPAs mentioned above, Veeam now gives you the choice to use PostgreSQL for your VBR configuration database. This removes some limitations, such as the SQLExpress 10GB size limit as well as some performance limitations. But, did you know Veeam now includes PostgreSQL as an application-aware image processing (better known as AAIP) option? This includes transaction logs for point-in-time recoveries for PostgreSQL on Linux as well. PostgreSQL AAIP Synth

Designing Meaningful Recovery Point Objective & Recovery Time Objective Policies

Today, I’d like to talk about creating and scoping realistic and enforceable RPOs and RTOs for your Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) policies and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) within your organization. As every organization will have different requirements the focus of this blog post is on general considerations for shaping your policy.Additionally this blog post is focused around policy design as opposed to backup technologies and should be vendor agnostic for the most part, though where I am aware of features from my backup solution of choice (Veeam of course!!!) I have referenced improvements that solutions such as Veeam can bring to the process.The assumption is made that you’re already aware of the applications, operating systems and data within the organisation/environment you’re designing these policies for. Step One: Define Recovery Priority Before we start to consider recovery point objectives, we should consider the recovery time objectives of our workloa

Get Ready: Enhanced Immutability Monitoring in Veeam ONE v12

One rule of backup is to always have more than one copy of data. This has often been defined as following the 3-2-1 rule, which states, to ensure recoverability in the face of disaster, you need to have 3 copies of data, on 2 different medias, with 1 copy offsite. By following this strategy for backups, businesses gain three different copies of data that they can recover from. However, with the continued threat of ransomware in today’s IT landscape, we need to evolve this rule to meet the challenges that face businesses today. As data is the lifeline for every business, putting in the necessary steps to keep backups protected from malicious attacks is imperative. To do this, having a immutable storage option that prohibits backups from being altered or deleted should be an added element to a long standing rule for backups. With the addition of adding a copy of data that is offline and/or immutable, businesses can ensure that at least one copy is locked from being changed or deleted. H

VCP-DCV 2023 PASSED!

Happy Friday Community!And an even better Friday for me after passing the VMware VCP-DCV this morning. Whew! What a challenge, but with some patient studying, practical experience, and hard work, it’s passable. ReviewAs I shared in my Study Guide post from a few weeks ago, the exam has 70 questions and is 135 minutes long, which is 5 minutes more allotted time than the prior version. Unlike previous exams, I really needed most of the time to finish the questions and review my answers. I still had about 45-50 minutes left after my review. But on the last 2 VCP exam versions I’ve taken, I was able to finish and review in a little over an hour.I think part of the reason for the extra time it took me to finish was the question format. They were normal questions but several sentences long (long for sure, but not book-length). As such, those took a little time to read, and verify whatever requirements were asked for. Thankfully there was also what I call ‘standard’ questions consisting of ju
