We have a Veeam AWS Appliance in its own backup account on the latest version, 7.1.08We are backing up more than 200 AWS accounts. I am looking for a Terraform code that, when included in creating a new AWS Account, automatically imports the account to the Veeam appliance. I looked into the Veeam Hub and did not find any. The only Terraform code I found was for deploying the Veeam AWS Appliance.Does anyone have the Terraform code, or is this possible with Veeam AWS Appliance?Thanks,Zahra   

I'm getting the following error in my Veeam replication job. This problem is sometimes solved. But I started to get a few more replication jobs. Has anyone seen this error before and know the solution? 

Hi, I have a protection group setup with multiple Windows PC’s (all running Agents managed by B&R) and I would like to perform a full backup on one of the machines (vs. all machines).  Is that possible?  I know I can select the machine and do a Quick Backup, but I think that does an incremental backup and not a full backup.  I would like to do this because I found that the existing backup is corrupt (I get a decompression error when I try to restore it). Separately, is it possible to delete the corrupted backup from the Backup Repository?  And is it possible to scan all the backups to make sure no other ones are corrupt? Thank you and happy 4th for those in the US!   

IntroductionAs security operations centers (SOC) manage a daily flood of alerts and logs, the ability to effectively analyze and interpret this log data becomes an essential part of the cybersecurity workflow. Processing and investigating security incidents are the be-all and end-all of any SOC analyst. Before starting an investigation, we must have a common terminology to define attacks and security-related activities and a search that leads us to those activities.In my previous blog post, I demonstrated how log data from VBR can be sent to Elastic via Syslog for evaluation and visualization. Let us take a step back and start with the basics.The Basics

In this KB https://www.veeam.com/kb4027 The Huawei Plug-In for Veeam Backup & Replication reached End-of-Life on 2022-04-22 and is no longer available. VBR cannot call Huawei storage with it’s API to complete the backup job with storage’s snapshots. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/system_requirements.html?ver=110In user guide of VBR v11, Veeam Backup & Replication does not offer integration with Huawei storage. According to the above, Veeam VBR cannot support any backup integration with Huawei storage. If the environment only includes VMware ESXi 7 and Huawei storage, what is recommended backup mode can be selected in VBR v11?

As we all (must) know, when you have e.g. yearly and monthly restore points for multiple machines in one chain on a ‘classic’ backup repo, you can delete the monthly backups from this repo by deleting the according files (VBK, VIB, VBM). This allows to manually keep the repo and only allocate storage for yearly backups.How do you achieve this on object storage ? I can delete machines from a backup, but then all restorepoints are affected. The same granularity to delete some points in the chain would be nice.This helps to save storage on public cloud storage accounts that were previous used to store monthly and yearly backups, but now to keep more backup points, the customer only want’s to keep the yearly backups because he already builded a monthly chain on another repo.

ICYMI, the Story:On the 20th June, one of the two national datacenters in use by the Indonesian government was attacked, and ransomware deployed.Normally that is a headline in itself, but the story gets worse when you dive into it. This datacenter, housing more than 200 government agencies, had very little in the way of backups. According to an official from Indonesia’s cyber security agency, approximately 98% of the government data stored in the datacenter had not been backed up. (Source: TomsHardware). The government regardless took the stance that they would not pay for the decryption key and would instead manually proceed to working on decrypting & recovering the data, which I don’t doubt would be c

Hello Community! SynopsisI couldn’t wait to get this out to you all. If you’ve been following along my Veeam Malware Detection journey, specifically with Inline Entropy scans, you know I’ve shared it has some shortcomings; although, it’s still a great tool to implement in your environment in my opinion.The post today coincides with my most recent Malware Forensics post on how to work through events you may receive from Veeam. Click below to read it if you like:Since my Forensics post a few weeks ago, Veeam has provided a few updates to its Malware Detection engine. UpdatesThe first update came with the latest Veeam Backup release, v12.1.2. Much of the Malware updates in this release came mostly from Community feedback on the

In this article, we will learn how to Migrate Veeam Configuration Database to PostgreSQL Server. I am sure you already know what PostgreSQL is. So let me not bore you with this information as some of our peers have already discussed this topic.   By default, PostgreSQL is used with all new installs of Veeam Backup & Replication 12. Existing Veeam Backup & Replication deployments that were upgraded from 11a or older will continue to use Microsoft SQL Server until they are manually migrated to PostgreSQL Why switch to PostgreSQL?Migrating Veeam Backup and Replication from Microso

Hello Forum Members,I'm currently using Veeam Backup and am keen on configuring an automatic power-off for the system once the backup process is completed. Could anyone kindly provide guidance on how to set up this feature, or direct me to the relevant documentation?Your insights and assistance would be highly valuable.

Hi all, I have a question about RMAN Backup. I've been testing RMAN Backup at a customer recently. For security reasons, they have blocked access to DB and RMAN with the OS account and only allow access with the DB account 'sys'. I know Veeam recommends that use an OS account (typically ‘oracle’) that belongs to the 'dba' group and has ‘SYSDBA’ privileges but, this is company's security policy. This doesn't work, so the plug-in won't install, and I can't run the RMAN script.My case is not the first one in the world.Veeam support team just tells me to assign permissions to the OS account (which is irresponsible). Is there any workaround? Thanks in advanced !   

Hello Community! I am in the middle of modifying my Backup/DR environment →  adding infrastructure, upgrading VBR servers, etc, etc...basically a refresh cycle as it were. One of my VBR Servers is used for DR purposes using Veeam Replication. I created a new server for it on the newest server OS (2022) and did a Configuration Backup migration. This was the first time I performed a DB migration and was pleasantly surprised by the ease of this task. Well done Veeam! As for my other VBR server, I’m not wanting to do a DB migration. I’m going to recreate most everything from scratch for various reasons. But, out of just under 30 jobs I have on this server, I do want to retain 7 of them. Sadly, as some of you know based off a Hub post from a yr or so ago by @shawnl :..exporting Jobs isn’t really possible. I really woul

This blog intend to assist SAs/SEs whose customers wants SAP integration(with Oracle databases) in OS platform like Windows, AIX etc. Q1. Customer’s SAP Environment is running on AIX or Windows with Oracle database as backend. Which solution should be proposed?A1. As there is no SAP on Oracle Plug-in for windows or AIX, we must utilize the Oracle RMAN Plug-in such cases.Ask the customer if he wants to utilize the advanced features of RMAN and can work independently without Brtools integration.If there are strict integration needed with Brtools, refer the Q&A in the following sections. Q2.Customer need strict integration with Brtools in such environments.

Hello,These last few weeks I have had the time to give some attention to the AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VB365 report. This time a lot of improvements and new sessions were added to collect much more information about the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 infrastructure. Here I provide you with the changes:https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VB365/releases/tag/v0.3.0 Now the reason for writing this post is to share with all of you about a project I have been working on in my spare time and it is about Diagramming the Veeam infrastructure. In this new version of the AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VB365 report I added the ability to create a simple diagram of the deployed VB365 components. This tool uses Graphviz a

So, my backups were not running and it was giving me DB is not synchronized error, I tried to resolve it but I couldn’t resolve it.

Hello Veeam Community,I hope this message finds you well.I'm reaching out to inquire about the possibility of using Veeam to protect Azure Arc enabled SQL Managed Instances (SQL MIs) on Azure Stack HCI. Currently, it's my understanding that Veeam does not support this functionality. It support only Azure SQL MI.Looking ahead, I'm eager to learn more about the potential for future Veeam support for backing up Azure Arc SQL MIs. Specifically, I have the following questions:Is there a roadmap or timeline outlining potential support for this feature?Are there any ongoing discussions or plans within Veeam for integrating Azure Arc SQL MI backup capabilities?Can you provide any insights or information regarding Veeam's future plans in this area?Any assistance or clarification on these points would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

I encountered the above error when using a new Windows server. I'm certain that communication between servers is normal, and the ports are open. I've successfully added several servers of the same type without any error. And I've tried the following:Disabling the firewall and antivirus software. Adding a new account with administrator privileges. Using the IP address instead of the DNS name. Checking the registry or services to ensure they don't affect the relevant services. However, this issue still persists.My server is not within a domain, and this server is not a virtual machine

I removed the veeam B&R server and Enterprise manager from the domain due to security issues, and now I want to know if it is possible to log in to these servers, which are workgroups, with domain users ?Is there a best practice? 

Are there anything besides the tape that need to be preserved before removing the old tape library?

In my interactions with numerous customers through my role, a recurring concern is their reluctance to grant open sudo access. However, many are more receptive to the idea of allowing limited sudo commands specifically needed by the application.Today, let's explore the sudo commands required by Veeam Backup & Replication v12 for the Veeam Agent for Linux. Bear in mind that this list is subject to modification based on community feedback. I encourage you to participate in this collaborative effort – feel free to suggest additions or removals to this list, which I've compiled based on my preliminary research.The necessary sudo commands for the veeamserviceraccount are as follows: veeamserveraccount ALL=/usr/bin/[ -d /tmp/ ],/usr/bin/id,/usr/bin/whoami,/usr/bin/mkdir,/usr/bin/rmdir,/usr/bin/arch,/usr/bin/uname,/opt/veeam/veeaminstaller,/usr/bin/rm,/usr/bin/cp,/usr/bin/chown,/usr/bin/veeamconfig,/usr/bin/chmod,/usr/bin/mv,/usr
