Hello Veeam Gnus ;)Got myself totally confused so can someone unpick this for me?I need to protect a single physical DC which has all FSMO roles. So guessing I don’t need a Protection group as its 1 computer. So do I just create a Veeam Agent job and add the DC ? But can I use a gMSA ? I want to use the Explorer and I am sure I read that you can’t use a gMSA with explorers ? In which case I need to create a domain account and add to BuiltIn Administrators group in AD ? (InfoSec are not going to like that !)Presume I also will not need a GiP because the Agent job will install the Agent on the DC which will remain persistent ?Have I got that all right ? I’m seeing double after reading so much ! Thanks Guys Phil 

We have upgraded VBR and EM to version 12.2. According to our discussion with the OS team, due to a vulnerability, they need to remove the older version 3.1.32.31915. We can only see the highlighted .NET version required for version 12.2NET Framework and ASP.NET Core Shared Framework 8.0 We observed  .NET Core runtime 3.1.32 and .NET Runtime 7.0.20 in VBR server We would like to know if we can remove .NET Core runtime 3.1.32 and .NET Runtime 7.0.20, as it is not mentioned in the articlePlease advise.

1. I get the Error code: 0x80070005 for restore2. Whether i restore backed up database to existing database(to overwrite) or another database created, i get above error.3. After restore fail at 1st attempt, the existing database(Schooldb) was removed/gone, i had to recreate it.4. After restore fail at 2nd attempt, the second db i created to point restore to (Recoverydb) has also been delteted, no longer appears in ssms.I can still do backups via veeam sql plugin. The restore is just not working properyIs this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

When I went to download the updater for Veeam I get redirected to a page that ask to upgrade my profile and requires a business email which I do not have. I am running the community version. 

  It has been few weeks traveling for me, but I couldn't skip the invitation from community managers to share our experience at the Veeam 100 SummitThose who know me are familiar with my physical limitation and how my hearing starts to perceive distorted and incompressible sounds when discussions shift to technical topics, so my experience, I am sure, is quite different from the rest of participants.First. What is Veeam 100 Summit?Veeam 100 summit  get together our most active community members (Vanguard, Legends MVP). This year the most active this VUG Leaders were invited for the very first time. What happens in Veeam 100 Summit?

 Being my second Summit, I was more prepared traveling half way around the world this time, and excited to see everyone I previously met in Prague and Miami.   DAY 1On Day 1 I received my swag and checked in. The trophy was such a awesome surprise! My nephews wanted to play with it but I had to explain it’s on my desk because it isn’t a toy. The jacket fits perfect and I’ve already put the screwdriver to use. Due to passport issues I had to book my travel last minute and couldn’t get a spot in the VRO workshop. I didn’t bring a laptop but would in the future as spots do open up. As I’m looking at a quote for VRO right now it would have been a great workshop.  

This year marked the 5th year being priviledged enough to attend the Veeam100 Summit. Since my 1st attendance in 2018, the venue has normally been held in Prague, CZ. The Product Strategy Team decided to change things up a bit and hold this year’s event in Berlin, DE; that would be Deutschland , or Germany, for those who use Duolingo 🙂 . With the event being held in a new city, and getting a preview of some of the content decided upon to be shared, I was really looking forward to the event this year!The Summit was held the last week of October. And personally, I love going this time of year to central Europe as the Fall colors are at or slightly past peak color.Fall in BerlinI got to Berlin a day and a half early so I can peruse around the city to take in some sites I’ve longed to see since

Can VBR backup VBR it self?My VBR server ip address is 10.18.120.200 then when i try to make Backup Job using Windows Computer then fill the VBR IP Address, i can see the job have failed with below picture. 

 hi all….I have question about VRO and VBR placementFor DR to cloud part, I refer to the architecture belowHowever, what if I need to cater both backup and DR to cloud simultaneously?  Our customer is having on-prem VBR server, all jobs and policy are running on-prem.While they want to explore the possibility of DR to Azure, in case the production site is down, when on-prem VBR server is goneWhile the VBR server on Azure does not have any data, the failover seems can’t be success Any workaround for this scenario?  

 This person and many others on youtube installed the veeam sql plugin and after installation, the plugin is fully integrated in the ssms gui. I am running similar ssms versions and after veeam sql plugin install, the plugin icons are scattered on desktop. I am running Veeam VBR 12.1Could you kindly explain why this is so? 

As part of Cyber Security Month I was afforded the opportunity to test out a 1TB C2 Object Storage account from Synology.  I have partnered with them having 2 NAS devices that I have blogged about (DS920+ and DS923+).  You can check out my blog at the link as well as below.Synology C2 Object Storage  Synology C2 – Object Storage Setup It is CyberSecurity month, so I am writing a few blogs on Synology and using C2 Object Storage for backups.I have been fortunate enough to have a good relationship with both 

I connected a new SAN and 2 servers that will be used for Veeam. These are just some “Hero numbers” of reads and intend to do a writeup of design with proper benchmarks in the future.  When you have an environment with a large quantity of data, you still need to be able to restore it quickly or run instant restores while you migrate to production.   For a preliminary test I connected 2 servers to a single SAN and created a few volumes to run IOMeter.  23.9k MBPS = 23.9GBps =191.2 Gbps.  with sub millisecond latency @ 240k IOPS I am very happy. There is always a bottle neck to account for in design. Usually it’s budget 🤣.  Currently my limitation is the amount of of servers/ports at this point. Specifically 32Gb fiber ports as they are all running at 100%. If I had anothe

Has anyone setup bonding with the VHR ISO? This probably isn’t VHR ISO specific but I thought I’d give it a good try.  Eventually the server this is going on will become my primary repo to replace the NAS my backups are going to currently.With that said, I’m using two Dell S4112T switches in a VLT configuration with a 40Gb QSFP to 4x 10Gb SFP+ breakout cables providing a 10Gb link from each switch.  Server is a Dell PowerEdge R550 with Broadcom 57414 Dual Port 10/25 GbE SFP28 OCP NIC.  I’ve configured a port channel on the switches and configured an 802.3ad (Mode 4) bond on the server but watching pings run while the server is just sitting at the configuration in the installer, I’ve seen it drop a few packets here and there for a while and then it comes back up.  Looking at the switches when this happens, both of the interfaces and the port channel are showing up/up.  Bond configuration is as below (aside from the MTU being set to 9000 after I took the screenshot, but the eff

I want to share with you all my initial setup of a small Lab for the Veeam Data Platformwhich is installing VBR + VONE + Recovery Orchestrator.In my case, I don't have too many resources, so, for lab proposes, all three roles will be deployed in the same machineThe wizard takes care of installing the tools, just asking you the necessary things to get it done.As you will see, installing the Orchestrator, includes the VBR and VONE.If you haven't downloaded the Veeam data platform, please do...This is the virtual specs for the VM where VDP is installed on my lab: Let's follow up on the screenshots and the comments on the installation. 

Hello,Today, the backup of our domain controller is no longer working and we can't access the host. Everything was working fine until now.17/11/2024 21:00:44 Failed Unable to install backup agent: failed to connect to "domainename" Error: Account restrictions are preventing this user from signing in. For example: blank passwords aren't allowed, sign-in times are limited, or a policy restriction has been enforced. Failed to connect to share '\XX.XX.XX.XX\ADMIN$'.The package is accessible when I try to access it manually. I don't understand. The account entered is the domain admin account and even with another account, it doesn't work.I've scoured the forums and I can't find anything.Could someone help me? Regards

Hi, I’m seeing the following error for just one of our offsite backups. The local backups are working as expected.Agent: Failed to process method {Transform.Patch}: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. Asynchronous request operation has failed. [requestsize = 4202496] [offset = 706145980416]Processing finished with errors at 18/11/2024 05:41:10This issue is only occurring on our SQL server. A 2019 Windows Server.Any troubleshooting pointers will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Good day team,Is there a plugin solution for Postgresql running on ubuntu/linux desktoip edition(application level). Have some databases that i want to selectively backup and restore. I do not want to backup at the image/file level which is simple.I need something similar to the veeamsql plugin where i can configure the plugin, open the “backup database” app on a gui/desktop and view databases, run the backup on selected databases and the corresponding jobs pop up in veeam BR gui. Need to be able to Restore as well. Thanks guys

A few issues that needs to be addressed urgently though1. I see the successful application plugin job listed under jobs in vbr12 gui but the EDIT, START, RETRY, CLONE and STOP are greyed out. Can this be fixed 2. On the Sql test server, where do view these veeamsql plugin jobs, their schedules in SMSS or the plugin app. Whenever i close the backup database icon and reopen it, i see no job/schedule, just a new blank window. How can this be addressed? 3.Do i have to keep the "Backup Dtabase" icon/app up all the time, i see no schedule

Is the updated installable ISO available yet for the VHR?

Dear Community,I'm currently exploring options to optimize Veeam Agent for Windows (VAW) backup jobs, specifically for truncating db logs. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that there isn’t an available option to configure a log shipping server to truncate the logs as per the requirements. This functionality would be incredibly helpful for truncating logs continuously and thereby reducing the workload on the Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) server. Is there any way to achieve this within the current VAW capabilities, or are there plans to include this feature in future updates? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The following Option is only available in the VMWARE Base Job This option is not available for VAW Base Backup Job. 

Hello,we want to use VEEAM for a backup on a WORM Drive. It is some kind of NAS with a WORM partition. The Problem is, that the after the first backup the backup job ends with an error. This is because the meta file (.vbm) needs to be altered for every backup. But since it is a WORM system, this is not possible.I searched and found out, that there is a possibilty for a tape WORM server in VEEAM. But firstly, the NAS is not a tape server und secondly this option is greyed out, maybe it is some sort of license problem.Has anyone an idea of how to resolve this issue?
