Hi all, Running Veeam Backup and Replication V11 on an Enterprise license - we have been backing up to HPE StoreOnce repositories for nearly a year, but due to operational changes with more VM’s, additional encryption and retention requirements we are filling these up faster than anticipated (less de-dupe). We would like to move our older monthly/yearly backups to Azure storage for long term retention in order to free up space on the StoreOnce devices for our nightly/weekly backups and restores. Initial research suggests that creating a Scale-Out repository, adding the existing StoreOnce repository as the performance tier extant and a new Azure object storage container as the capacity tier extant is the way to go. The documentation confirms this will re-point all existing jobs to use the new scale-out repository when they next run and anything older than X days (whatever we set in the capacity tier option) will be automatically offloaded to the capacity tier. 

An advantage of software-defined Veeam products is that they can be installed in many different ways and on any hardware your company owns and uses.  They can be installed on-premises, or in any hyper-scale public cloud, you choose.  To help customers architect, size, and secure the various Veeam products and features, the Veeam Solutions Architect team has created Veeam Security Blueprints (SBP) and they are publicly accessible. Veeam Security Blueprints can be found at https://www.veeam.com/security-blueprints.html Veeam Security Blueprints (SBP) are short (3 – 4 pages) scenario-based reference architectures covering common scenarios seen in the field. Types of scenarios include:

Subjectfailed to sycnchronize DD-BACKUP details: Selected server Veeam-bkup(os username) is unavailable  

Hi all,A customer’s device is complete gone, but has daily full backups stored via CloudConnect in Wasabi. When we try to import the backups, it gives the message ‘No backups found’. Altough, the Cloud Connect server gives usage of the bucket and de job just ran fine. Any ideas how to import the backup in the Cloud Connect server to start the recovery ?  The import of the backup doesn’t seem to find the backup chain….  

Our customer are running Veeam and replication to protect EXSI 10 workload .They would like request the disaster recovery plan .We know the Acronis/Azure have the backup solution just install the agent in workload and destination is to cloud .When the disaster is coming we just turn on the workload in cloud then they start charging all the necessary like EC2.In Veeam have any solution similar like Acronis/Azure ?

Hi, I have a question. I recently added an object storage repository (Cloudian) with an immutable retention period of 7 days. Then, I created a new backup job and pointed it to that repository, and I ran the backup. After the backup job completed, I checked the object files in Cloudian and looked at their retention period, and the result shows more than 7 days. Shouldn't it be exactly 7 days, not longer?Attached is the screenshot:Repository config for immutable days The date when the first backup started The object retention displayed in Cloudian Management

Hi all. The EMEA SAs have recently just added a new tool to https://www.veeambp.com called the ‘Ports Finder’ (aka Ports Directory).  The idea behind the tool was to make it easier to find all the ports you need for a Veeam solution. It doesn’t provide mapping for specific hosts or any of the advanced feature that the Veeam Ports Tool provides.Currently it only has VMware and Hyper-V ports; however, that will be changing soon and will have:VMware Hyper-V AHV Enterprise Manager All Explorers Windows, Linux and Solaris Agents V

Working with a customer to install the Veeam Tintri Intelliflash Plugin.   We have installed plugin version 1.0.85.  Per this KB it says it supports  the following Tintri versions:Tintri IntelliFlash 3.9.2 Tintri IntelliFlash 3.10.1 or laterHere is the KB:https://www.veeam.com/kb3226The customer array is running version 4.5.1.  After installing the plugin and trying to discover their Tintri array it errors out saying you need version 3.9.2 or higher on the array.    I assuming 4.5.1 is higher than 3.9.2 so not sure why it won’t discover.Anyone else seen this and have a suggestion?Thanks…Dean

hi allwe try here to create for our Postgres Servers to create a backup job with the Veeam for Postgres WAL Feature, so the agentless Version, of storing the WAL Files in a Backup. But i get it not to work. I see bulent his video, i look that i make all Documentation Settings in our Postgres Instances, but it will not work. But we have one great difference. We dont use the linux standard installation of postgres. so no /etc/postgres is there. we use a automated installation of postgres with ansible, but in different directories. example. the software itself is in /u01/app/postgres/product. the data dir is in /u02/pgdata/instancename, and the archive dir is in /u03/pgdata/archive/instancename. so i am not sure, how i can say in veeam to look in that locations for the WAL Files. the only info we have in /etc is the /etc/pgtab. did anyone know how to get Postgres WAL Backup running with a non standard postgresql installation?regards franco

After taking the manual snapshot on GCP it is going to another zone this behavior of Veeam or GCP as per my understanding the manual snapshot will always save the snap in a multi region location closest to the VM.

It seems that every VBR update requires to download the whole VBR software of over 4GB ?Then it is an ISO, but what I usually do is mount the ISO then copy out to like c:\VBR_12.227 (example of the version) then run the update from the folder. But is there also a smoother update process as I have to update the Veeam Enterprise Manager, then the VBR server itself and then probably need to like rescan the vCenter, edit WAN accelerator, edit Veeam Virtual Labs, edit storage repositories, edit the unstructured data file shares etc then it would start to update the individual items when I click finish.

Does anyone have a blog/step-by-step guide for setting up VSPC with SSO Azure AD?

I encountered the issue several times i restored the entire VM / Instant recovery to GCP after choosing the option to restore to its original location with the original setting after completing this procedure I noticed that the VM IP had been changed.

What are the limitations I will face while environment securing on GCP backup?

Data drive of the backup server has two folder Backup Job 7 which has backup from Oct to Nov and XX-Backup job from Jan 24’ What would be the correct process to delete the backup jobs from CZ60-Backup job from Jan 24 

I get the error Failed to connect to Veeam backup and Replication Server: object ... has been disconnected or does not exist at the the server.This is happening when trying to connect to the Veeam Console on the localhost.I have to reboot the server to resolve this issue, the server then seems to run OK but then later when the daily replication jobs (2) are run, the server seems to stop responding sometime during the 2nd replication job.Any suggestions on how to resolve this.  

We need to install the Veeam agent on 2,000 devices within the organization, but centralized file restoration to multiple devices simultaneously is required. Currently, the Veeam Backup & Replication solution does not have this functionality, and it is needed to reduce restoration times for user operations to ensure business continuity in case of ransomware or disaster.
