Linux Server Management Options

Good day Community -With Linux being more prevalant in environments, including Veeam supporting Linux within its deployment components, it is a bit cumbersome to manage all these devices individually. So my question for the Community today is → what centralized management tool(s) do you use to manage your Linux server footprint?..to update, push scripts, monitor, etc? I’m needing to update & even push a script (change) out to our Linux servers and don’t want to touch all of them individually. Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated.I did a little bit of searching before posting and saw a tool called Landscape which looks promising, but don’t know anything about it & open to hear anyone’s experience with it...or again..any tool. Thanks in advance!

V100 Summit 2023 - Day 3

Today kicks off with another all-star cast! @Julia F Morgado, Lyudmila, Vitaly, and Alec all on stage to talk the shared features of all Veeam Backup for Public Cloud, and individual product updates! Shared FeaturesFirst up, we’ll see Veeam enabling us to leverage more granular permissions for service accounts, with a built-in validation check to confirm the permissions are assigned.We’ll also see updates to the workers, with the ability to assign tags automatically to all worker nodes for their lifecycle.The biggest announcement from this however is that we’re going to see future Veeam Backup for Public Cloud updates only become available to Veeam Backup for Public Cloud instances integrated into Veeam Backup & Replication. This will make the Veeam Backup for Public Cloud instance appear as a ‘managed server’ within VBR. The standalone Veeam Backup for Public Cloud will still exist, and all existing functionality will remain. Veeam Backup for AWSWe’re going to see support for Dyna

how to schedule jobs using script

Hello, I am looking for a method or script to run backup jobs on a custom schedule.The built-in scheduler seems very basic, and as a result, I have to run all jobs as incremental and then manually trigger a full every two weeks.I have searched the veeam scripts and forum, could not find an solution.so does anyone have a script or technique to run backups on a custom schedule?perhaps using windows task scheduler, powershell, python or any such way?Thanks much,David

Veeam NAS Backup: Invalid Root Item Type

Alt Text: Title image with the topic title as it’s textHi, a quick workaround story today from the field.I configured a NAS Backup job that was to protect an SMB share with a bunch of sub-folders & files. When the job ran, no files and only a few folders had been processed. When I browsed the backup, the folders I was critically aiming to protect were all missing.Upon further investigation of the share, the folders weren’t “actual” folders, but were instead unsupported symlinks. I discovered this because I attempted to change the scope of the backup job to a particular subfolder to confirm access. When I tried this, I received the following error message:Unable to backup root folder <Folder Name>: folder is unavailable. Invalid root item type: a file or a symlink is detected when a folder is required. Path: [Path [<Path>], RootId [ffffffffffffffff]]Well, that’s not good! Because these were soft symlinks, this was the reason why Veeam was unable to process the data. But

Math behind the sizer

Hi everyone, greetings…I am not sure the math behind for this settings I seen the default is Forwards Incrementals with Weekly FullsSo mean Mon-Sat incremental x6, Sun full x1Daily 30 which keeps 26 incremental, 4 fullMonthly 3 which keeps 3 fullYearly 3 which keeps 3 full For full I think it’s related to ReFS, but not sure how it become 9.92TBFor incremental backup I calculated as 30TB *5% *30days *50% = 22.5TB (somewhat different)Weekly 0 because GFS set 0Monthly 3 copies = (30 + 30.25 + 30.5) * 50% reduction = 45.375 TB if w/o ReFS (but I tested it is 39.24TB if w/o ReFS in sizer) - I tried it by index 30+30.24+30.48 *50% = 45.36TB also different Btw, what are the ReFS ~50% compression comes from? any docs for that? And lastly for yearly (30+33+36.3)*50% reduction = 49.65TB w/o ReFS (very close to calculator this time but not exactly) And why the ReFS does not significant in yearly ?Turning on /off does not affect the yearly sizing much If ReFS turned off

How to synchronise your Active Directory (On-Premise) with Azure Active Directory via the Azure AD Connect

Azure AD is a cloud-based multi-tenant directory and identity service that provides identity and access management capabilities in the cloud.Since choosing the correct authentication method is the first concern for organisations wanting to move their apps to the cloud. The following section helps you decide which authentication method is right for you by using a decision tree. It helps you determine whether to deploy cloud or federated authentication for your Azure AD hybrid identity solution.Scr: MicrosoftTo choose an authentication method, you need to consider the time, existing infrastructure, complexity, and cost of implementing your choice. These factors are different are different from Organisation to organisation. Because of this, I will be highlighting on the different authentication methods.

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,

Veeam backup for Azure failed to backup a VM to Azure repository

Hi, we have Veeam backup for Azure all setup and running and its been a couple of months. We have private network deployment with private endpoints in our environment with premium service bus and all subnets are allowed to access this service bus. We have 5 backup policies in total, 3 of them have been running fine but 2 of the jobs (with our file servers), the snapshots are running fine but the backup policy is getting failed after 4/5 hours of the session run with an error :Failed to perform backup of vm1 to Production Backups Repo 1. Worker VBA-5bf0973a-8e2c-4dda-ba63-28814324c1bb: getting of the job status failed (trace ID: b8b3fb4e-c7f0-4f86-aa22-4f2122f45b00)We have noticed that when the backup policy session starts, it backs up the data all the way to 60% percent and then it stuck for a very long time before erroring out this message. We have raised a support case with Veeam and they said they will need to check with their R&D team, as we have the same settings for all jobs
