ALT TEXT: Banner with blog post title “Veeam & File Shares: Licensing & Feature Comparison” Hi!Today we’re going to talk about file shares and how to protect them. We’ll also look at how Veeam handles the various backup options available within the Veeam Universal License.File shares can take many forms, so we’re going to look at the following:A Physical/Virtual Server A NAS/SAN/Storage Device with File Share capabilities Azure Files Amazon EFS (Elastic File Systems) Physical & Virtual Servers Before Veeam introduced native file-share support for Veeam Backup & Replication, you could still backup physical or virtual servers. This was achieved via native hypervisor integrations, or the use of the Veeam Agent, on supported operating systems.When protecting servers that provide file shares from a traditional Windows/Linux/UNIX operating system, we license each server, without many considerations to the file shares themselves.There are a few considerations still to talk abo
I just had a situation in a customer environment where the customer complained that a restored VM had more disks than the one that was backed up before (6 instead of 5 for a SQL Server VM).The recovery was done using Entire VM Restore - User Guide for VMware vSphere (veeam.com).When restoring to the original location, Veeam prompts you that the original VM will be deleted first:At first, I though this was related to the user that Veeam uses to access vCenter no having the appropriate rights. For example, the user does not have permissions to delete the VM.But then I noticed that the additional disk to be 200GB in size. The old state the we wanted to restore only had 2x100, 2x300 and 1x500. So where did the 200GB disk come from?It turns out that the size of this disk was adjusted by the VMware team a few weeks ago (100 → 200). We wanted to restore from an older state with the 100GB still there. Could this be the reason? Does VBR leave resized disks being alone while recovering and adds

Has anyone community notifications missing starting from August 1st?
Hi, My last 2 cases are not going smooth with the Veeam support.My first case was regarding this topic and I did finally solved it myself. Then I get respons with the question how I did solved it!My new case posted 1st of aug is still in status new. Is it really because of the holidays, or are there under-staffed? I know, the severity is low, as it is not urgent, but normally I get a respons faster.The question I did ask them:My Veeam server is on a seperated VLAN, other than my ESXi servers. My storage is DirectSAN accessible. Only If I use Instant Recovery or SureBackup, the NFS mount to backup repository (local storage on server) is going over the Firewall, and I want to prevent that. So I did create on my ESXi another kernel adapter in the same lan of Veeam and yes, the connection with NFS running trough that kernel and the mount is successfully, I can even browse, but Veeam referring in the job to the NFS via FQDN what is on another IP and therefore fails as the ESXi is communicat
Hi guys, I’ve just updated Veeam Service Provider Console from v6 to v7 and I got a communication error during Web UI component upgrade.Web UI is installed on a different server and subnet than VSPC server component.I checked the open ports and they were correct.By opening all the ports between the Web UI and the server the installation went fine.Has this ever happened to you? is it possible that the documentation is wrong and something has changed from v6?Unfortunately, I did not check whether it used any other port than the one in the documentation. (TCP,UDP 1989) Thanks Marco S.
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.
We had a few unplanned circumstances this week - we will not be recording a Veeam Community Recap this week; we’ll be back next week!
Can we do SOBR config , by selecting only performance tier repo and AWS Glacier repo . No capacity tier. If SOBR not possible then can we take primary backup on Local disk and backup copy to glacier repo.
is it possible to extract a single file from the most recent backup of a hyperV VM from a commandline utility? It tried “extract.exe” and it appears to only extract EVERYTHING and actually restores the vhdx file. Which I would then have to mount the vhdx somehow and extract the file I need. I’d like to run this from cmdline on a daily schedule. Any help greatly appreciated.
Hi all. I am quite new to Veeam. I was trying to set my laptop up to be backed up daily and at one point I selected VM as an option. I did eventually get it set up as an Agent Backup, but now I get these emails below every day and I can’t find anywhere to delete or remove anything so I quit getting this message. Any help?[Failed] Backup Policy: Agent Backup ….. (1 VMs) 1 failed
