I attended VeeamON 2024 this year in Ft. Lauderdale and it was a fantastic event.  If you have never been to one I highly recommend it.  Below is my blog review of the event and you can also find it here -https://just-virtualization.tech/2024/06/20/veeamon-2024-thoughts-review/ I have been a Veeam Vanguard for seven years and Veeam Legend for just over two years and was fortunate enough to have attended the VeeamON 2017 event in New Orleans, VeeamON 2022 in Las Vegas, and VeeamON 2023 in Miami, which were all fantastic events.This year’s VeeamON 2024 event was in Ft. Lauderdale, which I attended in person, and it was amazing.  Besides the great weather and hotel, there were again many sessions, networking, Lab Warz, Hands-on-Labs and the Vendor Hall.The Diplomat Beach Resort – PoolVeeamON 2024 Digital Display in the conference areaAttending VeeamON is one of the best events if you want to learn more about backup and what Veeam is all about. From user sessions to networking and training

How do I go about mounting a VBK file so I can browse it and pull out some files?  I have two large VBK files (> 10TB) and I need to browse one of them and pull out a few files.  I am having trouble doing that and I hope to learn from my post the best way to accomplish that.What’s my best approach to this?

Hi Everyone, I never do this so hope I will be forgiven :). Wrote a VeeamON review from a different perspective.First time working for a Vendor at VeeamON. Gone are the days of frivolous browsing for swag and freebie food. It got serious this time and was a lot of fun!! https://objectfirst.com/blog/veeamon-2024-being-there-in-the-moment/ cheers Geoff  

Hallo zusammen,  eventuell ist hier jemand im Forum, der diesen Anwendungsfall schon einmal hatte. Wir versuchen aktuell eine Migration, unserer VCCRs durchzuführen, ohne eine größere Downtime in Kauf zu nehmen. Hierfür haben wir nicht vor, den Tenant zu deaktivieren, sondern uns eine andere Möglichkeit ausgedacht. Zudem nachfolgenden Szenario, haben wir uns auch schon eine Testumgebung gebaut, um den Vorgang einmal zu testen.Der Grund für diese “Migration” ist der Situation geschuldet, dass wir die Downtime möglichst gering halten wollen. Für den Kunden(alle Kunden) sowie für uns. Meine Frage zielt darauf ab, ob jemand schon einmal eine ähnliche Migration durchgeführt hat.Hier wäre einmal der “Schlachtplan”: Ablösung der vccr004-006 hat die höchste Priorität. 3x vccr(013-015) mit rbd auf lvm erstellen rsync von vccr004-006 auf vccr013-015 der Backupdaten durchführen über eine Woche am Anfang des Monats durchfürhen Laufzeiten der rsync-Jobs der unterschiedlicher tage ermitteln Wartu

I wanted to override the default DNS in WSL: add the following section to /ect/wsl.conf (if not present create the file)[network]generateResolvConf = false Then restart wls (in powershell wsl --shutdown) Create a normal resolv.conf file and add your dns settings. I also made the file immutable since someone posted that it would be wiped clean on reboot:sudo chattr +i resolv.conf  

I have a backup environment that consists of: 1 physical Backup Server with a 10gbit connection to the switch that is also the primary backup repository1 VM for VMware backup proxy configured to use virtual appliance (8vCPUs & 16GB of RAM)3 node vSAN cluster all connected to the same switch via 10gbit ports When running backup jobs, Veeam starts running well, reaching read speeds close to 450MB/s for some jobs. After a while, the read speeds drops significantly for both incremental and full backups, going down to ~70MB/s in some cases.The backup proxy and the backup repository are configured to process 8 concurrent tasks. The bottleneck in all the backup jobs show 99% in source. How/where should I look for the reason of this bottleneck and what types of tests can I run to find which part is holding the backup speed down?

This collection of PowerShell scripts can be used to retrieve Veeam backup usage for VMware Cloud Director (VCD) backup jobs and is now available on VeeamHub! Below is a brief description of its functionality. For more detailed information, please follow the VeeamHub link.In this collection, you’ll find 3 scripts:Sync-VcdOrganizationMapping.ps1: Automated mapping of a VCD Organization Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC) Company Set-HostedVbrJobAssignment.ps1: Assigns VCD backup jobs to a VSPC Company Get-VspcHostedUsage.ps1: Generates usage reportIn the usage report, the following is provided for each VSPC Company:Total number of protected VMs in backups Total number of licensed VMs in backups Licensed matches Veeam rental licensing policy which is workloads protected within the current calendar month Total amount of space used in backups (Optional) Detailed usage at the VM-levelNOTE: This collection uses functionality added in Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1 and Veeam Service

Deprecated: This script will not work with Veeam Backup & Replication v12. For v12 support, please use the VSPC-HostedUsage scripts. The PowerShell script to retrieve Veeam backup usage for VMware Cloud Director (VCD) Organizations is now available on VeeamHub! Below is a brief description of its functionality. For more detailed information, please follow the VeeamHub link.For each organization, the following is provided:Total number of VMs in backups Total amount of space used in repositoriesThe usage data can be aggregated on the Organization-level or the Org VDC-level. This is useful when backups for different Org VDCs are billed differently.The scope of the usage returned is also customizable. It can be limited to self-service backups, created by the Veeam Self-Service Portal (VSSP) for VCD, or it can also include backups created directly on the backup server by the provider.NOTE: Before using this script in a production environment, I recommend you verify that numbers match up

Hi All, I recently migrated some replicated VM’s on our VMWare infrastructure to a new DVSwitch and updated VLAN names, so I had to update all the Veeam replication jobs, when i tried to automate this using the Veeam powershell library I got the following error on 95% of the jobs. I did a little investigation but didnt manage to figure out what the difference was between all the failed jobs and the 3 that successfully updated. Has anyone ever seen this error message before ? Set-VBRViReplicaJob : Broker service has not started hierarchy collection for host xxxxx Here is a simplified version of the script i was using:# get all replication jobs$jobs = Get-VBRJob | Where-Object TypeToString -eq "VMware Replication"foreach ($job in $jobs) { $jobOptions = Get-VBRJobOptions -Job $job # get list of network objects on new target dvswitch $destSwitchNets = Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo -Server "<server with new dv switch>" | Where-Object SwitchName -eq "NEW SWITCH" # build array

Hi Team,I've protected an Azure VM and now I want to restore only specific files and folders. However, the "Restore files and folders" option is grayed out and I am unable to click on it.For the VM protection policy, I selected both the snapshot and backup VM options.Can you advise on why the file restore option might be disabled and how I can proceed with restoring individual files and folders?
