optimise the backup performance in SMB shares

Hi Guys,Any best practice while doing backup of Veeam Agent for Windows on SMB shares? so that we get better performance?We are using shared folder option in Veeam agent due to fact that we do not have server in that location.Around 4 to 5 users in that location and does not make sense to have dedicated server. Only device present in the location is Synology NAS. Takes around 45 min to complete backup.Any possible option to optimise the performance ?

one line command to check veeam agent for windows is success or not on standalone computer

Hi TeamPossible to have one line command or script which can be ran on computer to check if backup is successful or not. This command will help me( probably others too!!) before the installation of windows update. Planning to run as pre-deployment task where patch management software checks if last backup is older then 4 days and its success, then patch installation will proceed or else patch deployment will wait until it see status as success. I think it will work better with exit code. Like Exit code=1;success and Exit Code=0 failure?In recent time we have see some laptop getting crashed, due to incorrect windows updates applied (restart of laptop by user) and we found that system cannot be restored using restore point since boot files corrupted.

Veeam Backup and Replication + Synology

Is there any best practices when implementing these two into work?Currently we have it setup as a SMB share folders and Veeam is sending backups to it.I did a little bit of research and saw that people are using ISCSI and connecting Synology drive to Windows Server and using it like that. As I can see they are using ReFS File System.What would be the best optimization when we have Veeam + Synology in our Environment.Veeam B&R and our main Synology are located in the same location within same subnet.After that main Backup is done we have a Backup Copy Job trough IPSec to our Branch Office where we also have Synology NAS with SMB share.With ISCSI I saw that people are using FastClone and I’m not familiar with it at all. What is the use of it?Any advices are welcomed 😀

VM backup to tape - back to front

Hey all,We have Veeam (12.0.0.1420) backup jobs with a secondary target to tape.I noticed that the tape jobs were saying they took 21 hours to complete which is strange. Seems that the tape job is starting before the backup job.We have the vm backups start at 9pm and they take about 2 hours to complete. The tape backup starts at 9am.Example: I saw the tape backup start at 9am on a Monday, then wait until the vm backup that starts at 9pm that night finish.Not sure how it got out of whack. The backups are still working I guess but is there a way to reset the timing? Delete and re-add the backup job? Maybe just re-add the secondary target to the backup job? thanksjc

No logon servers

Hi All,I have restored two servers using veeam backup and replication. Both servers restored successfully but to a different host. However, when I login I get “No logon servers avaialble . . . “ error, I am also unable to login using the local administrator account.The Network is pointing to the server network on the new host and I don’t see any errors or anything glaringly obvious. I had Application-aware processing enabled on one of the restored server jobs but not the other. But I am unable to login to any of them.I did restore a server last week without any issues and was able to login to the Domain without any issues. Can someone offer any advice as I need to move servers off this host and the only way to do this is by Veeam backup. I have no option to migrate via vmotion or directly via the Hosts themselves.Thanks in anticipation.

Issues trying to restore AD object

I’m working on a server that someone else setup, so I don’t know much on it’s config sorry, but it’s Veeam backup & replication 12.I’m trying to restore an ad object, so i’ve found our AD server in the backup list, went to Application items and chose active directory.When it brings up our AD, I can find the deleted user, and when I choose to restore objects it asks for credentials to connect to: ad.mydomain.com.auI’ve tried all my credentials including the domain admin one, and it just keeps erroring with the message: The supplied credential is invalid.I’ve tried with just the username, with domain/username, with username@domain and it always shows credential is invalid.Any ideas?

Veeam One Weird Graph

I have noticed that if I go to Veeam Backup and Replication and look at our SOBR’s Space Usage Graph under the Summary tab, it shows just one day (e.g. it shows just Sat 9x instead of different days). This happened when we upgraded to version 12. Monthly Summary shows one set of datesWhat setting if any should I change? I have updated to the latest patch and still shows the same. Version 11 did not give me this issue.

CRC error during backup copy job

Hi, we have 3 backup copy jobs for one backup job. All backup copy jobs for a specific vm fail with the following error: 9-8-2023 22:31:45 Error: Failed to decompress LZ4 block: Bad crc (original crc: 5a73d881, current crc: 3fa0f4bc). Failed to upload disk '65505BFB' Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}. Exception from server: Failed to decompress LZ4 block: Bad crc (original crc: 5a73d881, current crc: 3fa0f4bc). Unable to retrieve next block transmission command. Number of already processed blocks: [132]. Failed to download disk '65505BFB'. The only way to solve this, was doing an active full on both the backup job and the copy jobs. I'm puzzled why this CRC error occurs. There is corruption on the source backup files (Backup validator also reports this). The backup files are located on a ReFS raid 6 volume. Integrity streams are enabled, so if there's corruption shouldn't refs detect that also? I can copy the file from windows explorer fine. If ReFS detects an inte

Home Lab Upgrade

Home Lab upgrade!Hi Folks, recently I wanted to «upgrade» my home lab, and I was thinking the best way to have an affordable, low consumption usable home lab for a ESXi Cluster, nothing fancy, just to be able to deploy a couple of little VMS, play with HA, DRS, shared storage and so on.I started checking out the Intel NUCs, but then I realized that it comes «empty», so it becomes costly at the end.Then, what about HPE Gen 8-9 Servers, «the wife would kill me»They are noisy, expensive and consumes tons of electricity!So, looking over the hardware I have, I looked into my Workstation, a Lenovo P320 which it has 64GB of ram, more than sufficient to run a Nested lab, but I wanted something more realistic, with wires and lights, you know, Im a hardware and wires lover!I kept the Workstation as base Server, Planning tu run there the base or foundational vms I normally run like: vCenter, DNS, AD, a Storage Appliance and a Veeam Server.lets keep it «low profile», so, Nowadays normally we do h

Configure backup notifications for Veeam Agent Linux

I’m trying to figure out how to get notifications sent via email when a backup has been successfully/unsuccessfully completed. It is on a Centos server. I looked around in the Veeam settings by opening up veeamconfig ui, but cannot find anything in the Linux version about setting up email notifications like the Windows version allows you to do. I have also looked into setting this up in crontab, but do not really know what to put in the script to send an email notification.
