CDP on it own VLAN

Hi everyone,We are currently using Veeam CDP and are very pleased with its performance. However, we would like to configure the CDP bandwidth to utilize its own VLAN instead of the LAN network. We are operating within a 10GB physical network environment.Thank you for your assistance.

Veeam 12.1 CP1 - Released 12.1.1.56

I was looking in to an issue today for something and happened to look at the Veeam KB page that shows versions and updates for v12.1 - KB2680: Build Numbers and Versions of Veeam Backup & ReplicationI noticed there is a cumulative patch that released on the 17th (Wednesday) with a new build 12.1.1.56.For those that are using the Veeam Hardened Repositories this update addresses the need for the SSH to be enabled for updating.  I have run tests, and it works much better for updating.You can download it here - KB4510: Release Information for Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1 and UpdatesIt also addresses a bunch of other fixes as well like the Invalid XML when opening reports that some reported here - After upgrade to V12 and DB migration to Postgresql get error when trying to show job report | Veeam Community Resource HubNot sure if this will help with your Object backups @DrObject but might want to see as there were some changes in this area.Happy patching everyone and happy Frida

remove backup repository

Hello all,I have really small environment(manufacture) with 2x virtual server on HyperV where HPE autoloader is connected over switch. This autoloader is used as backup destination of course. After installation of Backup Server on one of the servers(this server has also other role), Veaam discovered share and automatically added as Backup Repository. This share has different purpose, not for Veaam. Because is the only repository I'm not able to remove it from Veaam. Any hint?

Synology - Using SSD Drives for a Storage Pool

You can find my blog on this topic here - Synology NAS - SSD Storage Pools Have you ever wondered how to create a storage pool and volume using SSDs on a Synology NAS? Well today I will walk you through the process to use the SSD drives within your Synology NAS to create a storage pool and volume to use within a VMware environment.Now you must be using one of the supported NAS devices that allow you to use SSD as a Storage Pool as many just allow SSD drives to be used as Cache within a Storage Pool - Supported NAS Devices. You must be using a device on the supported list otherwise the only option you will have is to create an SSD Cache. I will discuss SSD Cache vs Storage Pools in my next article.In order to configure an SSD storage pool you need to use the Storage Manager application on the web UI. Launch the web UI and log in, from the main screen open Storage Manager and use the Create button to begin the process to create a new LUN.Storage Manager - Create button for new Storage Po

Veeam Self-Service Portal Invalid Username or Password Issue

I have a user who is having issue logging in to the VEM Self-Service portal. We have added groups to have access and I have added myself to their group so I can test every now and then.I can login just fine as a member of the group but he keeps getting Invalid username or password error. We are sure that his credentials are good since he is able to use them on other servers and applications so it is only in Self-service portal where he is getting the error. He cleared his browser’s cache and used other browser as well to no avail.I looked at the Veeam.WebApp.log, these are the entries that I see for the userConnecting to [ServerBEM] under [current account]. Selfrestore modeFailed to create user context from authentication data. Data: [Username: domain\user,  Invalid username or password (System.Security.Authentication.InvalidCredentialException) When I login as part of their group, this is what I seeConnecting to [ServerBEM] under [domain\myself].

What is the use of CBT drivers and how to work CBT ?

I am using Evaluation Enterprise License on Veeam server and actually I manually installed Veeam agent for Microsoft windows 6.1.0.349 and CBT drivers in windows 10 endpoint system. As per my understand, once installed CBT drivers, if any file level changes then incremental backup will perform. But it is not happened. So what is the use of CBT and how to work ?

SOBR only copy from performance tier?

Hopefully someone with experience can help me with this. I'm struggling to understand the SOBR in combination with GFS, and if what i want is possible within Veeam.What i would like is the following:Backup job to local storage attached to backup server. Copy result to tapeThis i can manage. Now...Copy result to SOBR containing: Performance tier: local repo immutable, store recent 4 weeks Capacity tier: Azure S3 hot immutable, store recent 4 weeks (copy instant checkmark) Archive tier: Backblaze S3 immutable, store month and year backupsI'm trying to save cost here, so what i don't want is for Veeam to send the files from Azure S3 to Backblaze S3, since this will result in read and egress costs. What happens on the last week of the month? Will Veeam SOBR copy from performance tier (thus local to Backblaze (ingress)), or will it copy from capacity tier?Or should i use plain copy jobs with GFS?

Backups on-site, Backup-Copies on-site, Backups off-site, different retention how-to?

Current setup.I have a regular Veeam backup job. It backs up my VMs, keeping 15 copies.I have a backup copy job, that copies the backups created above to the performance tier of my SOBR. This job has set as the retention policy: 2 restore points.It also keeps 13 weekly, 13 monthly and 5 yearly backups.  The option ’Read the entire restore point from source backup instead of synthesizing it from increments ’ is setIn my SOBR, I have the option set: to Copy backups to object storage as soon as they are created. Move the backups to object storage as soon as they age out of the operational restore window: Move backups older than 1 days.What this results in is:15 backups in the backup repository from the regular backup job. Up to 7 daily backups in the SOBR performance tier AND in the capacity tier. They get deleted as per Veeams retention-logic. But always a minimum of 2. Weekly/Monthly/Yearly backups in the capacity tier Now to my question:The regular backup keeps 15 daily, the backup cop

Hyper-V and VMware Guest can System state backup and restore?

Can the Virtual server achieve System state backup? If so, is there relevant documentation and Veeam certification and actual operation? Physical server Installed Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows, But company policy blocked the USB drive that can't use Bare metal recovery media. Can the Physical server achieve System state backup? If so, is there relevant documentation and Veeam certification and actual operation? When I used the server HDD from 2 months ago and put it on the existing server to test startup, the server name from 2 months ago can be recognized in the Veeam console, and the related file recovery can be restored without affecting it. Existing server backup job. Then shut down the server, put back the original server HDD, and restart. In the Veeam console, the backup can be successfully performed without the need to create a new Backup job.

Build replica environment

In theory could I use Veeam bu&r to completely rebuild my datacenter environment (VMware) on new esxi hosts? I have been tasked to build 2 identical rigs with the same SSO, domain name, IPs etc on seperate vSan ready nodes. Rather than do this twice I wondered if it possible to mirror the build using Veeam. I’ve picked up the limitation with vGPU enabled desktops. Are there any more gotchas that I need to worry about??? If the new esxi hosts had the same fqdn/ip would Veeam throw a wobbly and no it’s a new target environment?

Veeam Community Edition waketimers going nuts with Backup for Microsoft Office 365

I’ve had a problem with a Windows 10 workstation waking up from S3 sleep every few minutes all night long.I tracked the problem to Veeam-created waketimers, created repeatedly by the Veeam.Archiver.Service and the Veeam.Archiver.Proxy.Service.  Stopping those services stops the waketimers, and the system returns to normal sane behaviour.  These services run under Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and Veeam Backup Proxy for Microsoft 365. Even when I have scheduled backups turned off at the server console, this keeps happening.  Note, I do WANT the system to wake for backups -- once a night, every night. But that's all.So it appears those services are creating those timers, but I see no Veeam-supported way to stop it or make them behave sanely.  Stopping backups at the console does not seem to affect these timers.Now, I did install Veeam Agent for Windows 6.0.2.1090 -- Workstation Edition as well as backup for Microsoft 365 on that workstation, using a local swapped hard drive, before inst
