 Recently, Veeam announced the release of Veeam Data Cloud, previously known as Cirrus by Veeam. Veeam Data Cloud will provide resilient data protection and recovery for multi-cloud data, all delivered through cloud-native backup and storage services.Veeam Data Cloud is available for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure, and Veeam Data Cloud Vault is offered.Specifically, the Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a game-changing BaaS (Backup as a Service) offer. It arrives to meet a latent demand and brings it with many differentiators for customers, such as:Access the Veeam Data Cloud services in a Web browser. The cost of storing backups is included in the subscription, and storage is unlimited! *** WOW ***

Good day, everyone,I am seeking assistance in identifying the best method for migrating to new hardware.Current Environment:DC-A to DC-B bi-directional Veeam replication Old HP servers running Veeam Old HP StoreOnce appliances used as Catalyst repositoriesNew Hardware:New HP servers and HPE StoreOnce appliances procuredRequirements:Build two sets of new Veeam/HPE StoreOnce environments at DC-A Migrate old DC-A Veeam/HPE StoreOnce to new DC-A Veeam/HPE StoreOnce Migrate old DC-B Veeam/HPE StoreOnce to new DC-B Veeam/HPE StoreOnce Establish bi-directional Veeam replication between the new environments Decommission old Veeam/HPE StoreOnce hardware once backup and restore jobs are validatedBased on my previous experience with Veeam/Data Domain migrations, I have outlined the following proposed mi

 As organizations accelerate their adoption of cloud, SaaS, and AI-driven workloads, data protection alone is no longer enough. Today’s enterprises must not only back up and recover data — they must understand it, secure it, govern it, and ensure it can be trusted, especially when that data is used to power AI initiatives.This is where the integration of Securiti AI with Veeam represents a major step forward. Together, they bring data resilience, security, governance, and AI trust into a single, unified platform. The Challenge: Data Everywhere, Risk EverywhereModern data environments are complex by design. Data now exists across:On-premises infrastructure

After the First part,  Let`s continue with the second part,Let`s create our DuckDNS Sub domain before continuing:Go to the DuckDNS website, and create an account, is free.In my personal use case, I sing in with google, so the creation was super easy and smooth.In the page, write down the name you want to use in your subdomain, and click in add domainIn my case, I have two domains created, im showing you them right now:

Hi teamI was wondering if anyone has noticed some strange behavior when configuring network during ISO installer workflow?I have done two installs now. When I go into the network portion and I select the connection toggle, it stays in the connecting state and eventually disconnects.For one repo, one nic actually connected.From a switch perspective, all is up and connectedI made the changes as per documentationInstalling from Veeam Hardened Repository ISO - Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide for VMware vSphereFor the repo that manages to connect to one nic, I configured LACP as per document but only with one nic. This got the repo on the network and I manually added added the second nic the bond from the CLI.The second repo, in the netwo

Hello! I am attempting to set up SureBackup to test backups of VMs from my Hyper-V environment in a way that mimics production and simulates interactions of VMs in separate, routed subnets, but I am running into issues setting up the isolated network’s NICs on the proxy appliance. It is unclear if I’m misunderstanding the setup documentation or if I am running into a limitation caused by the logical network of my Hyper-V cluster.My Hyper-V hosts have a single logical switch for VM traffic with all VLANs trunked to it from the physical switch that the hosts are connected to. Each VLAN has a unique subnet of varying size, mostly /24 but there are some /23 and /27 networks.I am trying to create a Virtual Lab in advanced single-host mode with an isolated network for each subnet containing a VM being tested, with the proxy appliance acting as the router for each subnet.The two subnets I am testing with are:192.168.124.0/23 (VLAN 124) 192.168.196.

Hi All,My customer would like to continue to use an external USB hard drive as a backup repository on the new DELL physical VSA server they have stood up. It’s look as though it’s not supported in this release, but they would like confirmation that it’s on the roadmap for future releases.Any ideas? Thanks!

Prepping VBR/VEMMuch like Veeam ONE, we need to allow data collection in the host management pageFor a VBR HA cluster, repeat this on both individual nodes, starting with the primaryLog into the host management portal onhttps://fqdn:10443And click Backup Infrastructure, then under Data Collection, click Submit RequestAnd the same on VEM  Initial ConfigurationWe can now access the VRO WebUI fromhttps://fqdn:9898And login with the Windows administrator accountFill in the server details on the initial configuration wizard, you can add what you like here, then cl

Hi everyoneAfter christmas, I had some time to improve my lab a little bit.I decided to setup a Pi-Hole to use it as my main DNS and filtering app, and why not, use it also over my VPN with WireGuard , and be able to use it all the time reaching my Server from anywhere with a FQDN instead of an IP (Dynamic), with DuckDNS.As a base system, I chose Ubuntu Server, with the minimum installation, choose your own, maybe you will need to adapt some commands or content.After login into my clean ubuntu server machine, and update all the packets, I went to the Pi-Hole website, and click into

DellYou will need a RAID array of sorts for this, I recommend the following type due to their better overall resiliency, as this is our backups we need to ensure this is a resilient as is reasonable, from disk failureRAID 6 RAID 60Log into the iDRAC and head to Storage/Overview/Physical disks and click Create Virtual DiskGive a name to the disk and select the layout, I want RAID 6 as this is backup server so resiliency is importantFor advanced settings, make sure Read Ahead is selected for the read policy for a backup server this gives extra performance, and write policy should be write back only if your controller has a battery backup onboard so you dont loose data in the event of a power outage, the Dell H700 series have one by default, and write through if you dontThen click Next
