In my continuation from my first blog post which can be found here - Cybersecurity Month - Blog #1 I now present blog #2 which deals with the same Synology C2 Object Storage but this time using it with Veeam B&R for offiste.Synology C2 Object Storage with Veeam Backup Synology C2 Object Storage with Veeam Backup This will be my second article in the continuation of Cyber Security Month. This one uses Synology C2 Object Storage with Veeam Backup & Replication as a target repository. I have tested many providers over the years with Veeam, and this one is just as easy to set up as most of the other S3-compatible storage vendors.You first launch your Veeam Console, go under Backup Infrastructure, and click on Backup Repositories. From here, you will add a new repository, which must be S3 Compatible. The screenshots below show the process of adding the Synology C2 Object Storage to my Veeam Console.S3 Compatibility – adding using Veeam Console wizard –Configuration of the S3 Object
Hi Guys, I wonder if I can get some help on this one. I have the Veeam One report showing VM Snapshots older than 3 days which is showing snapshots that have long been deleted. Does anyone know if there is a way to kick Veeam One into recognising that they have been deleted ?I’m thinking a SQL query to clear a table in the DB that has got stuck or something like that ?Any help greatly appreciated.ThanksPhil
Hi, I’m running Veeam B&R CE on my home server and plan to upgrade from Server 2022 to 2025 when that come out. I would like to do a clean install of 2025 and was wondering if there’s a way to backup my install of Veeam so I can reinstall it on my upgrader Server 2025 (eg., the configurations, databases etc. The backup repositories are on separate disks and so will be directly accessible). Thank you

When you try to install or upgrade the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager 12.1, it might fail to create a website, and the error code is 0x80070020. You can follow the instructions to open the logs folder and try to check the cause of the issues. The folder path is C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Setup\Temp. I noticed the error message: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. Failed to create website. Error code: 0x80070020. Bae on Veeam KB1992 https://www.veeam.com/kb1992, this known issue--Local antivirus or antimalware software interferes with installation.In my case, the Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection caused this issue. Unfortunately, I cannot temporarily disable the Microsoft Defender Advanced Thread Protection service. The service properties greyed out.

Sanity check!On our Exagrid we have a single 1GB NIC and two 10GB NICs. From the beginning we configured the Linux Managed Server/Repository to point to the 1GB NIC assuming that the Veeam Datamover magically knew about and utilized the 10GB NICS for backups. Considering how slow our backups are Im wondering if our network is misconfigured and we should be pointing to the 10GB.
The Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV backup products now has support for Nutanix AOS 6.10. Please read the KB article below for more details. The VBN AHV user guide has also been update. The link is also listed below. One known is is also highlighted below.😀Release Information for Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV 6.1https://www.veeam.com/kb4668Known IssuesWhen using Instant Recovery to restore a VM to Nutanix AOS 6.10, it may fail to boot if the VM's Guest OS utilized UEFI. To resolve this, modify the Instant Recovered VM to enable UEFI boot at the VM level, as documented in the "Acropolis CLI" section of Nutanix KB9400.System Requirementshttps://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbahv/userguide/system_requirements.html?ver=6 Note: See note about UEFI boot support. Nutanix also plans to release a fix for AOS 6.8 when available.
We want to restore a SQL Server database within a small window, so that there is minimal downtime for transferring usage from the old database to the new database. With our previous backup software (Backup Exec), we used to restore the full backup and leave the database in recovery mode, then restore the differential backup on top of that, still leaving the database in recovery mode, then restore the transaction logs up to just before the downtime period, still leaving the database in recovery mode, so that, once the downtime commenced, we would only have to restore a couple more transaction log backups to bring the database up-to-date with the source database.We are struggling to find a similar option in Veeam. We have 2 support calls open, one attempting to see if we can use a similar method to the above, and one attempting to see if Instant Recovery is the solution to this.- for the first option, it appears that Veeam cannot append any restores to the original restore - it simply of
Hi, all. I have question about how to perform large backups on a slow network. My current infrastructure is : headquarters and the IDC where the physical servers(119 TB) are located are more than 100km apart, connected by a 1Gbps network. (This network is for business, and I don't have any plans to set up a backup network yet.) Initially, I wanted to have the backup server and repository server at headquarters so that I don't mind if the initial full backup takes a long time, but if I need to recovery backups, it will take too long. (Single largest server is over 7TB). The second way I thought of is to install the backup server and repository server in IDC and make a backup copy to HQ.However, the backup copy is also downloaded at 1Gbps, so I think the business network will be disrupted on the day of copying the full backup data. How would be the best way to configure it in my situation?Will the 'WAN Accelerator' feature help?Also, does this work on a local network? I need your advice.
I have decided to share this link to my article on how to “Install Splunk and Veeam App on Windows Server to monitor VBR”. This guide is comprehensive and it outlines the detailed steps to create a VM on Hyper-V, install the Windows Server OS, steps to specify syslog parameters on the Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) server, install Splunk and the Veeam App.Because this article is lengthy, Here is the link: https://techdirectarchive.com/2024/05/06/install-splunk-and-veeam-app-on-windows-server-to-monitor-vbr/It thoroughly describes every step and addresses potential issues you may encounter while setting up Splunk Enterprise in your environment. Here are some advanced guides by my peers on this topic as well. You would also learn how to get and apply your DEV NFR License for Splunk.

Hi, I’m trying to understand SB mainly the networking side of things. In short I want to be able to ulitise SB as a sandbox to spin up a SQL server, however only spin up the OS of the SQL server - I then want to test attaching the databse to this SQL OS to see how it would perform in a reallife DR scenario. So I need to ensure that it is fully isolated from the existing environment but then I would like the SB VM to be accessible from an RDP session if possible but then to see network shares so we can attach the DB. Any ideas if this is possible and could someone maybe give me some information on the following as there really isn’t much learning material out there to understand this:
