What are the requirements for ExaGrid Appliance if upgrade to Veeam v12

If I upgrade to Veeam v11 to v12, the storage target is ExaGrid appliance (the backup flow is directly write to this appliance), what are the software requirements for ExaGrid Appliance, e.g. firmware? Please help.

Tapes Required Calculator

This is a very simple calculator that uses backup size from the Veeam official calculator, the tape capacity, and the number/ retention amount required. Based on this information, it will tell you how many tapes you will need. http://tape.skitchlab.com

Upcoming Linux Kernel Patch to introduce "6% performance improvement" to storage performance

Happy Friday everyone!I hope that you’ve all had a good week 🙂 I’m back with an interesting news story to share, and it provides an example of how overengineering can impact the deliverables you’re trying to achieve. So, a gentleman called Jens Axboe has published an interesting patch update (link here) that claimed with their test case a performance increase from 108M IOPS to 115M IOPS, and they said they haven’t even enabled most of the costly block layer items that means the performance improvement could be even higher in real world utilisations. Now, such a claim could be met with scepticism, but I was intrigued, how is this working? Thankfully Jens provided some insights into this, and this is where I believe a lesson can be learned in overdesigning a solution to a problem, to its own detriment. Jens explains in his patch notes that the patch reduces the number of times that the time is queried for timestamps. Historically near enough every time that a write occurred, the time wo

Veeam & Veeam Supported Products Reaching End of Life in 2024

It’s that time of year again where we need to plan for the year ahead and be sure that any upcoming end-of-life or end-of-support dates from our dependent software vendors are addressed.Why does this matter when I’m just trying to protect the data?Times change, and software changes with them, until it’s no longer supported. At any point, a patch to an operating system, a .NET framework update, or anything else really, could end up with the software no longer being backed up properly, or not working at all in production. Without valid support there’s no process to get a fix, and whilst your backup software may still be in support with Veeam, if the vendor won’t fix the problem, it’s time to start panicking.With this in mind, let’s explore the software & operating systems being declared end of life in 2024 so we can start planning our upgrades/migrations if necessary. VeeamLets start with Veeam’s, products that have an end of fix or end of support within 2024. As a recap, Veeam have

Does Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 require a Microsoft organization ID?

I’m trying to set up Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 on my regular BDR server and Veeam Backup system.  The configuration seems to insist that I provide some Microsoft “organization” info.  Am I misunderstanding this?For starters, this is a Community setup, and I normally use a Microsoft 365 Family subscription.  That has no Organization ID or organization domain name.  And it does not use, or give any access to, Azure AAD/Entra.  Yet no one at Veeam seems to think that’s a problem…?  Not sure they get it.Just as it happens, I do have a Microsoft Organization account, but it’s totally, completely separate from the Microsoft 365 Family subscription.  I definitely have a lot of OneDrive data stored there that I want to back up, as well as Exchange data.  If I use the Organization in the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, will I still be able to backup the Family subscription with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365?And I am running a local Active Directory service, but it has nothing to do with a

Quick Tip: Regain access to PostgreSQL after changing hostname

After changing the hostname of your VBR server, you might have issues accessing the integrated PostgreSQL database. For example when creating a new database or restoring configuration, you see the following error: “SSPI authentication failed for User XYZ”While the database connection itself uses “localhost”, the pg_ident.conf references the hostname itself for administrative access.So after changing the hostname, you need to replace the old hostname with the new one inside the pg_ident.conf file. Also you can add additional or different users to access the PostgreSQL instance. The default path to this files is “C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\data\”.There’s a KB article from Veeam which mentions this error. This also includes how to check the PostegreSQL logs: https://www.veeam.com/kb1471

Data Backup Basics VIII: Data Classification - A Crucial Pillar in Effective Backup and Recovery Strategies

In today's data-driven landscape, where information reigns supreme, safeguarding data against potential threats and ensuring its swift recovery in the event of an unforeseen disaster is paramount. Among the array of strategies that bolster robust backup and recovery protocols, data classification stands out as a foundational element that often dictates the efficacy of these practices. Understanding Data ClassificationAt its core, data classification involves the systematic categorization of information based on its sensitivity, value, and criticality to an organization. This process assigns labels or tags to data sets, enabling businesses to prioritize their protection efforts, allocate resources efficiently, and adhere to regulatory compliance requirements. Classification typically involves labeling data as public, internal-only, confidential, or highly sensitive, among other classifications, based on predefined criteria. Strengthening Backup ProceduresData classification forms the be

HPE StoreOnce: Immutability with v12

With the newest release V12, Veeam Backup & Replication is now capable of implementing immutability with HPE StoreOnce Catalyst stores. HPE calls this ‘Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Controlled Data Immutability (ISV-DI)’. With this post I want to quickly describe the requirements and configuration steps.RequirementsThere are some requirements, that need to be met in order to use immutability with StoreOnce systems.you need to have a Gen4 StoreOnce system with at least firmware 4.3.2 you need to configure Dual Authorization Maximum ISV Controlled Data Retention needs to be set to 365000 in the StoreOnce Catalyst Store you need to use forward incremental backup jobs and/or enable GFS for Backup Copy Jobs → For more information check the helpcenter Enable Dual AuthorizationWith Dual Authorization certain tasks on a StoreOnce require a second factor before they’re executed.

Backup Speed

The Veeam backup server operates on a 1-gigabit network, while the VMware proxy server and the data domain storage are on 10-gigabit networks. Despite this, the backup speed is consistently reaching only 270 to 300 Mb/s per second. Is there something overlooked in this setup? Additionally, would incorporating a WAN accelerator result in any performance improvements for the copy job over the WAN link?

Error when restore from tape

The issue happens when doing a restore since it asks for 2 tapes and my unit has 1 tape.

Veeam ONE Installation Error: Failed to Create Website

Hey everyone,Just a quick one from me here, I was playing about in my lab installing Veeam B&R and Veeam ONE v11a (because, why not?!), when I hit a strange issue. I’d snapshotted my VM prior to installing Veeam ONE so that I could revert back and try different methods (and play with automation). The first time I installed Veeam ONE, it worked PERFECTLY. Next day I revert the VM and tried to install it again, and I got an error that it failed to create the website and wouldn’t install!It seemed strange that a virtual machine I’d powered off before snapshotting would have two different outcomes when in both scenarios I booted the VM up and installed Veeam ONE in an identical way.So I started to dig into this and found the problem was caused by a dependency. When Veeam ONE installs, the following dependencies are required:Microsoft IIS ASP.NET 4.5 Component .NET Extensibility 4.5 Component Default Document Component HTTP Errors Component Static Content Component Windows Authenti
