Introduction to Scality ARTESCA’s Veeam Assistant Veeam’s Object Storage Journey:For the past several years I have had the pleasure of working with my friend Pierre Gueant, Director of Solution Partners at Scality.  Our latest collaboration is to create a series of blogs that we will publish together here on Veeam’s Community Resource Hub.  This is the 1st blog in that series and its purpose is to introduce you to Scality’s ARTESCA Veeam Assistant. When Veeam started our “object storage journey” back when Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) v9.5.4 was released in early 2019, we realized that object storage would become the predominant storage platform for secondary storage. This realization culminated when VBR v12 was released in early 2023. One of the major features in VBR v12 was the ability to directly backup customer

Hi Folks,just a quick Overview in Screenshots of the new Malware Detection Settings within V12.3. pre 12.3:the Tab Incident API & Notifications remain the same with V12.3  starting with V12.3:new Tabs with File Detection and Signature Detection. Suspicious activity detection (with Update malware definitions automatically) moved to the tab File Detection within the Release Notes, modified URLs are listed regards Signature updates, so keep this in mind for your Firewall - please also check the note regards to existing AVs (KB1999 will be your friend):

Managing and filtering Syslog messages can reduce noise and highlight critical events. This blog post explains how the PRI value helps categorize messages by severity, describes syslog filtering, and shows how to use rsyslog in a Docker container to forward selected messages based on a filter.What is the PRI value for, and why does it matter?The Priority (PRI) value combines the facility and severity into a single numeric value. This value helps categorize Syslog messages. Each log message is assigned a Facility Code indicating its source, such as system processes, mail server, etc, and its severity. I could tell you from my memories and more about the origins of the Facility Codes 😉, but plenty of websites on the Internet describe this in detail. Veeam Backup & Replica

Hello Everyone, I would like to check if anyone managed to configure SNMP v2c for Veeam Backup & Replication? I understand that Veeam Backup & Replication supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (including including v2c and v2p), however when configuring SNMP in Veeam Backup, there are no options for me to select Version 2, on my monitoring system end I'm able to see that VBR is sending SNMP v1. 

Dear Expert, Greetings! I have configured a lot of VAW server few of them server reset the portI checked this issue with the network security team and found that the traffic passed the firewalls, but there was a reset ports from the server side. Please put your feedback on this. Thank you.

In this blog post on deployingNATS.iofor VB365 with Podman discusses the implementation ofNATS.io to support Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 version 8 at scale. It highlights the shift towards a more distributed and cloud-native approach, utilizing proxy pools for better load balancing and scalability. The post provides a detailed guide on setting upNATS.io using Podman, emphasizing the benefits of process isolation and container management. It also covers the configuration of environmental variables and sizing recommendations to optimize performance.For more information on how to deal with this check out my post on koolaid.info!https://koolaid.info/deploying-nats-io-for-vb365-with-podman/

For everyone who uses Veeam to backup Nutanix, now in version 12.2 it is possible to have the "Dynamic backup job scope" It leverage Prism Central VM categories (a.k.a., “tags”) to facilitate automatic VM inclusion into backup jobs based on Prism Central VM category affiliation. Definition of category from Prism Central Infrastructore Guide: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Prism-Central-Guide-vpc_2024_2:ssp-ssp-categories-manage-pc-c.htmlA category is a grouping of entities into a key-value pair. Typically, new entities are assigned to a category based on some criteria. Policies can then be tied to those entities that are assigned (grouped by) a specific category value.For example, you might have a Department cate

Hello Veeam Community, maybe someone can Help me.I have an Virtual Machine that i need to backup. Before i do that, i need to shutdown the VM,create Backup and then Run the Vm again. I thought i can do that with Powershell script, but i run in an error.Script finished execution with exit code -1.When the Job starts, i can see that the VM shut down, then Veeam take 10 minutes to try to backup and run in the error.As i understood, Veeam should  run the PS Script before the Job and when he´s done do it again. If i Run the Script in the Powershell console, then i have no problems.Did someone have an idea? Thanks and greetings

Veeam v12, does Wasabi support SOSAPI as I’m trying to create an archive tier. It looks like SOSAPI has to be used with archive. Is this correct?

t’s been a few weeks since I returned from the most excellent Veeam 100 summit, this time in Berlin! I’m lucky enough to have been a Veeam Vanguard since 2021, and this was the first time the summit happened in Berlin. The last time I was in Berlin was at least 15 years ago.In this post I am not going to sum up the summit directly; There are some blog post from fellow Veeam Vanguards and Legends I link at the end of the post. Instead, I want to focus on the new version of Veeam Hardened Repository (VHR), that was introduced during the summit.have set up VHR in my home lab before, and decided to load the ISO directly into the home lab from Berlin, because….why not;-)One big change is that VHR is becoming official…like production official. VHR will be supported by Veeam, so you can open a support case if you run into issues. Here is the statement from Anton Gostev, Chief Product Officer at Veeam.“Support This build is now a subject to

Running Linux Mint Mate 20.3.  Successful weekly backups for several years.  Today forgot to connect b/u medium when starting veeam, got “warning” message in the “success” column.  Tried exiting and restarting backup with medium connected, got another warning message. Not sure what to do next.

Hello All,I will start using Huawei Cloud soon. According to my department, I will deal with backup and replications. Does anyone know how Huawei cloud integrates with Veeam? Can I replicate my on-prem server to Huawei cloud with Veeam? On the backup side, how is the backup again?

Hello Veeam Gnus ;)Got myself totally confused so can someone unpick this for me?I need to protect a single physical DC which has all FSMO roles. So guessing I don’t need a Protection group as its 1 computer. So do I just create a Veeam Agent job and add the DC ? But can I use a gMSA ? I want to use the Explorer and I am sure I read that you can’t use a gMSA with explorers ? In which case I need to create a domain account and add to BuiltIn Administrators group in AD ? (InfoSec are not going to like that !)Presume I also will not need a GiP because the Agent job will install the Agent on the DC which will remain persistent ?Have I got that all right ? I’m seeing double after reading so much ! Thanks Guys Phil 

We have upgraded VBR and EM to version 12.2. According to our discussion with the OS team, due to a vulnerability, they need to remove the older version 3.1.32.31915. We can only see the highlighted .NET version required for version 12.2NET Framework and ASP.NET Core Shared Framework 8.0 We observed  .NET Core runtime 3.1.32 and .NET Runtime 7.0.20 in VBR server We would like to know if we can remove .NET Core runtime 3.1.32 and .NET Runtime 7.0.20, as it is not mentioned in the articlePlease advise.

The restore is just not working properyIs this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

When I went to download the updater for Veeam I get redirected to a page that ask to upgrade my profile and requires a business email which I do not have. I am running the community version. 

  It has been few weeks traveling for me, but I couldn't skip the invitation from community managers to share our experience at the Veeam 100 SummitThose who know me are familiar with my physical limitation and how my hearing starts to perceive distorted and incompressible sounds when discussions shift to technical topics, so my experience, I am sure, is quite different from the rest of participants.First. What is Veeam 100 Summit?Veeam 100 summit  get together our most active community members (Vanguard, Legends MVP). This year the most active this VUG Leaders were invited for the very first time. What happens in Veeam 100 Summit?

 Being my second Summit, I was more prepared traveling half way around the world this time, and excited to see everyone I previously met in Prague and Miami.   DAY 1On Day 1 I received my swag and checked in. The trophy was such a awesome surprise! My nephews wanted to play with it but I had to explain it’s on my desk because it isn’t a toy. The jacket fits perfect and I’ve already put the screwdriver to use. Due to passport issues I had to book my travel last minute and couldn’t get a spot in the VRO workshop. I didn’t bring a laptop but would in the future as spots do open up. As I’m looking at a quote for VRO right now it would have been a great workshop.  

This year marked the 5th year being priviledged enough to attend the Veeam100 Summit. Since my 1st attendance in 2018, the venue has normally been held in Prague, CZ. The Product Strategy Team decided to change things up a bit and hold this year’s event in Berlin, DE; that would be Deutschland , or Germany, for those who use Duolingo 🙂 . With the event being held in a new city, and getting a preview of some of the content decided upon to be shared, I was really looking forward to the event this year!The Summit was held the last week of October. And personally, I love going this time of year to central Europe as the Fall colors are at or slightly past peak color.Fall in BerlinI got to Berlin a day and a half early so I can peruse around the city to take in some sites I’ve longed to see since

Can VBR backup VBR it self?My VBR server ip address is 10.18.120.200 then when i try to make Backup Job using Windows Computer then fill the VBR IP Address, i can see the job have failed with below picture. 

 hi all….I have question about VRO and VBR placementFor DR to cloud part, I refer to the architecture belowHowever, what if I need to cater both backup and DR to cloud simultaneously?  Our customer is having on-prem VBR server, all jobs and policy are running on-prem.While they want to explore the possibility of DR to Azure, in case the production site is down, when on-prem VBR server is goneWhile the VBR server on Azure does not have any data, the failover seems can’t be success Any workaround for this scenario?  

 This person and many others on youtube installed the veeam sql plugin and after installation, the plugin is fully integrated in the ssms gui. I am running similar ssms versions and after veeam sql plugin install, the plugin icons are scattered on desktop. I am running Veeam VBR 12.1Could you kindly explain why this is so?
