Veeam Backup Repository Access is Denied

Fairly new to Veeam so this may be a silly question.I’ve had Veeam for Office 365 setup and running for a while, but recently my repository which had been working fine stopped working.The repository is a shared folder on a Buffalo NAS.  Editing my Repository, and checking Free Space I get “Access is Denied”. yet through File Explorer I can  fully access that share.

Slow backup problem

I’m testing the Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition on 2 Windows 10 Pro PCs, connected with Gigabit Ethernet.  Everything’s functional.  With no throttling, backup read speed fluctuates between around 60Mb/s and 140Mb/s (note - when the read speed was around 77Mb/s, network usage shown in Task Manager on the server computer for Veeam Agent was around 940Mb/s).  But browsers and email applications on the client computer become unresponsive at times.  Setting throttling (via a Network Traffic Rule on the server) to 50Mb/s fixed the unresponsiveness problem.  But with the throttling, backup read speed dropped drastically, hovering between 1Mb/s and 5Mb/s.  I got the same result after disabling firewall and antiVirus on both computers. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to track down the cause of this problem?

Cannot find any buckets in Region

I’m testing several On-Prem S3 Object Backups ( Backing up Object Storage in 12.1) no matter which of the 4 systems I try I get the attached error. All of the systems have “buckets” that Veeam 12.1 has written to, and they have data in them, and are set as repo’s in VBR that I am using for this test. Suggestions? Error is attached - I get it on all of them.

Fun Friday: What do you use to lab/test?

Happy Friday everyone! I’m back for another Fun Friday question: What do you use to lab/test/play with technology? Whether you’ve just got a preferred cloud provider, live on the “hands on labs” of a particular vendor, or have a substation in your garden powering a giant datacentre in your basement, I wanna hear it! I’ve currently got a 48 Port 1Gbps PoE switch with 6x 10Gbps uplinks, 2x HPE quad core servers with 32GB RAM each running ESXi and if I need to overflow I’ve got VMware workstation on my quad core 32GB PC, all sat under my desk!

Veeam Proxy without domain

For security reasons, our backup proxies should not be domain servers. Can anyone tell me if and how I can add a non-domain server as a backup proxy? Both the server and the proxy are VMs and in the same networks.

Homelab Choice

I am sure someone else will find this blog post very useful. I have been doing extensive research since I created this blog post below.  So I purchased Beelink EQ12 3x recently. Beelink EQ12 mini PC since it has an Intel 12th Alder Lake-N100 processor (4C/4T, up to 3.4GHz, 25W TDP), delivers 25% more power than N5105. The low power consumption makes this mini-computer great for light work, 4K video playback etc. At this time, this Mini PC costs 329.00, and there is a promotional voucher of 45 euros. So it will be about 284 euros. Other Additions- Got a TP-Link TL-SG108E 8-Port Gigabit Switch (Plug and Play, Gigabit Ports, VLAN, QoS)- A Synology 923+ [I got this due to my Veeam Legend and vExpert status]. Here is a post on how to set up DS923+, and many more to come. The next would be on how to protect DS923+.- Wyebot wireless intelligence (To be reviewed as well)- I'm considering purchasing a NGFW appliance and would appreciate your insight.  Today, I completed these blog posts based o

script for an immutable configuration backup on linux

Hello,I could say better late than never, i’m using a script since many years to make my configuration configuration immutable on a linux repos.Even it is now available for object storage and it will probably be immutable in future release, i think it could useful to share it. #!/bin/bash# Define a list of target directoriestarget_directories=("/path/to/your/target_directory1" "/path/to/your/target_directory2")attribute_to_apply=" +i" # The chattr attribute to apply (e.g., immutable)time_to_wait_days=10 # Time to wait in days before removing chattr attributelog_path="/path/to/your/logfile.log" # Replace with your desired log path# Calculate the time to wait in secondstime_to_wait_seconds=$((time_to_wait_days * 24 * 60 * 60))# Log the start timeecho "$(date): Chattr attribute application started for files in ${target_directories[*]}" >> $log_path# Loop through all target directoriesfor target_directory in "${target_directories[@]}"; do # Loop through all files in the target dir

File Share to Immutable Repository

Hi Everyone, I just created an immutable repository using Azure Blob storage and connected to it using a Veeam 12 B&R client on Windows.I was hoping to create a File Share job to send a small set of data to the immutable repository but this doesn’t seem to be an option as when I do a new file share job the immutable repository is not available to select.Have I maybe missed something when configuring my Blob or Repo or is this just not possible? Thanks.

error with hiper-v

Hi team:I have a problem with 2 hyper-v hosts that I added to the veeam backup.In 1 the host IP had been changed. The josbs were removed and created from scratch. Now, when executing the job, the message "Unable to allocate processing resources. Error: On-host proxy [<Hiper-V name>] requires upgrade before it can be used." appears. I have a rscan over then host and its finished with warnings.In the second hypervisor, this was added directly with the name, but when executing the job, the message "Failed to connect to endpoint <vbr-server>:2500" appears. An error occurred during the connection attempt as the connected party did not respond properly after a period of time".How can i solve this?It should be said that I do not have a defined proxy and it is automatic.Greetings,

Powershell - VBR Backup Scan - Updates

Hello community,you  probably know my many scripts on the subject of backup data scanning? I am happy to share with you what I am currently working on.Secure Restore / Scan BackupCurrently "only" Microsoft Windows machines can be scanned using Secure Restore or Scan Backup (see here). However the Disk Publishing (Data Integration API) allows us to publish a disk from different types of backups to a Windows or Linux host. The disk can have a Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix or other file system. On top Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1 gives us many more options for scanning backup data. For example we now also can mark restore points as clean, suspicious or infected using a PowerShell cmdlet. What if i were to extend one of my scripts with this function? Said and done!New Script - New FeaturesThe new script presents all existing restore points from a Linux VM, Windows VM or Agent backup to a Linux host, scans the specified restore point and marks the selected restore point as infected
