Veeam Version 12.1 - Malware Detections Query

Hello Veeam Community,I am reaching out with a concern regarding our Veeam version 12.1, as we are consistently receiving malware detection alerts on our VMs. The notifications specifically indicate:Potential malware activity detected: Too many files have had their names changed since the last backup; ensure they were not encrypted by ransomware. Potential malware activity detected: *.ttt (TeslaCrypt 3.0): 40 instances. Potential malware activity detected: *..txt: 2 instances.I have conducted thorough scans on both the VM and the backup, and no malicious activity was found. Could you please provide insights or guidance on whether this is a matter of concern, and if there are additional steps I should take to address this issue?Your assistance in resolving this matter is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support.

HPE StoreOnce Immutability - Technical and legal aspects - Part 1

IntroductionHi guys,This article is based on a request from one of our customers who asked us to conduct a study on the use of immutability with StoreOnce and related legal aspects. In addition, the request was to delve into the workflow of dual authorization. BUT first of all I would like to thanks @regnor to permit me to re-use parts or screenshots from his StoreOnce posts - Part1 - Part2 and Part3 Transitioning from technician to architect roles in your career brings new considerations.In operational work, you simply follow instructions, but as an architect, you must be able to design and justify the necessary operations.This use case explains the use of StoreOnce with Veeam and its built-in immutability feature, with a focus on the legal aspects and audits that companies are subject to. What is a cybersecurity audit?An IT Security Audit is a systematic analysis of an organization's security system.Its primary objective is to verify the effectiveness of security controls, policies,

Support for XCP-NG and ProxMox (It's been fun VMWare)

With the recent VMWare licensing consolidation and Broadcom moving to a subscription/core model, it has caused many SMBs to explore new options for a hypervisor. (such a shame.. pouring one out for my years of VMWare experience.) XCP-NG and ProxMox keep coming up in various communities. I personally have tested both and they perform really well. My only issue with them is that currently there is no native Veeam integration for the two platforms. Are there any plans for Veeam to support XCP-NG and/or ProxMox?

World Backup Day 2024: Who Needs Backups Anyway?

As today is World Backup Day 2024, I thought I’d share a tale from back in the day. This was from my first proper job after university, working as a First Line Analyst (i.e., Helpdesk). I was, to say the least, ‘green behind the ears,’ as the saying goes. It was also my first time navigating the world of an office environment and working with remote offices.Let me start by setting the scene. Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2 were the Server Operating Systems installed on bare metal boxes. Windows XP was THE Operating System of choice, and Windows 7 had just been released. The word ‘virtualisation’ was not even something we came across. We pretty much had dedicated hardware for each server role required. Domain controller? Physical box running that role. File Server? Another dedicated box for that role. SQL Server? Yet another dedicated box. You get the picture. This, in turn, required a large amount of space to house all the servers. Additionally, installing servers meant

Agent Backup of Windows Machines on Network with Veeam B&R 12.1 CE

Hi, I am trying to backup the Windows PC’s on my LAN using Agent backup and am having the same issue as the person on this post: https://forums.veeam.com/servers-workstations-f49/creating-new-backup-in-protection-group-issue-t79935.html I have read the issue several times and I don’t think I understand the terminology being used. And I have successfully installed Agent on my Windows machine and executed the command to connect to B&R. I also see the machine on B&R. Ideally, I would like to schedule backup jobs for this machine and also be able to run adhoc backups using the B&R console.Is this possible? Thank you, Hammer

FileServer Backup

Hi all,i was testing and studying the FileServer Backup. Reading the guide from “Top to bottom” :-) under Requirements and Limitations for File Shares i see"To support the VSS for SMB File Shares feature, make sure that requirements listed in this Veeam KB article 3099 are met."Link at the kb https://www.veeam.com/kb3099Under Requirements of that Kb it says "The Veeam Backup Server and the Windows File Server hosting the SMB Share must be joined to the same Active Directory domain."? Is this real? I cannot use vss on fileserver that are not in the domain of the VBR Server?The guide is for the V12Thanks for helps.

Veeam Insights For Microsoft 365 - Free tool

Hi! I was studying more details about Veeam's Backup as a Service (Baas) service, the Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, and I noticed that Veeam provides, free of charge, a tool that performs a quick assessment in the Microsoft 365 environment and presents information and insights. The tool's name is Veeam Insights for Microsoft 365.The tool can consolidate the number of active and inactive licenses, which allows you to save money by directing inactive licenses to other employees or simply reducing the contracted quantity. Additionally, it provides visibility into overall storage levels, including the number of files in use on OneDrive and Sharepoint, and shows which users are consuming the most storage.It also presents an Outlook activity graph showing the number of messages sent and received. The period for this information can be customized.The best part? If you're not performing the backup, you can easily onboard Microsoft 365 with a click on the Veeam Data Cloud. The process is desig

World Backup Day 2024: Being SMART and Predicting Hardware Failures

Hello again! Onto my second post for world backup day, this time looking at the moments leading up to a disaster. In this post we’re going to look at ways to proactively prevent failures. After all, the best backups are the (tested) ones that didn’t need to be used because everything is fine.Let’s kick this off with a trip down memory lane. During the days that all storage media was a traditional hard drive with spinning disks, it was typically pretty obvious when a hard drive was failing, we could hear issues such as failed bearings or the scratching of a needle as these were mechanical faults that were developing. However, when we look at flash storage, which doesn’t contain any mechanical parts, the lack of being able to hear problems developing can result in people taken by surprise when storage fails.Nearly 30 years ago, Compaq released S.M.A.R.T into the public domain, providing a standard of storage health for all vendors.

Moving Backups Load

Hi Community,i would like to give a suggestion for maybe a future release.When moving a backup to another repository, the job occupies all free task asap. Other jobs on that server will be delayed until the Move-Jop is finished.I suggest a dialog where one can limit the tasks the Move-Job is using, so the normal backup routine is not on full hold.What are your thoughts on this?

Updated AV Exclusions for Veeam backup and Replication

This KB came out years ago and was updated in January. Just a reminder to check all of your Veeam infrastructure, SQL hosts, and guest OS’s that have application aware and indexing enabled.
