After taking the manual snapshot on GCP it is going to another zone this behavior of Veeam or GCP as per my understanding the manual snapshot will always save the snap in a multi region location closest to the VM.

It seems that every VBR update requires to download the whole VBR software of over 4GB ?Then it is an ISO, but what I usually do is mount the ISO then copy out to like c:\VBR_12.227 (example of the version) then run the update from the folder. But is there also a smoother update process as I have to update the Veeam Enterprise Manager, then the VBR server itself and then probably need to like rescan the vCenter, edit WAN accelerator, edit Veeam Virtual Labs, edit storage repositories, edit the unstructured data file shares etc then it would start to update the individual items when I click finish.

Does anyone have a blog/step-by-step guide for setting up VSPC with SSO Azure AD?

I encountered the issue several times i restored the entire VM / Instant recovery to GCP after choosing the option to restore to its original location with the original setting after completing this procedure I noticed that the VM IP had been changed.

One of my customer wants to take backup VMware ESX 5.0 VMs. anyone can help me which Veeam Version is supported VMware ESX 5.0? ThanksShaokat

What are the limitations I will face while environment securing on GCP backup?

Data drive of the backup server has two folder Backup Job 7 which has backup from Oct to Nov and XX-Backup job from Jan 24’ What would be the correct process to delete the backup jobs from CZ60-Backup job from Jan 24 

I get the error Failed to connect to Veeam backup and Replication Server: object ... has been disconnected or does not exist at the the server.This is happening when trying to connect to the Veeam Console on the localhost.I have to reboot the server to resolve this issue, the server then seems to run OK but then later when the daily replication jobs (2) are run, the server seems to stop responding sometime during the 2nd replication job.Any suggestions on how to resolve this.  

We need to install the Veeam agent on 2,000 devices within the organization, but centralized file restoration to multiple devices simultaneously is required. Currently, the Veeam Backup & Replication solution does not have this functionality, and it is needed to reduce restoration times for user operations to ensure business continuity in case of ransomware or disaster.

I need to disable/enable Proxmox VE Backup Jobs with Powershell.Get-VBRJob: shows only jobs for Hyper-V VMs and linux Computers Get-VBRComputerJob: shows only jobs for linux ComputersI need Powershell Scripts to manage jobs for Proxmox VMs Thx,    Harry

The company I work for is looking to improve its BCDR capabilities utilising Veeam and Azure.  Currently in a DC we have VBR (physical server with local storage repo) copying to Azure blob storage and Enterprise Manager on a vm.  We are aiming to change the Veeam license to include VRO with the idea of being able to stand up VMs in Azure in the event of the DC going down.  My questions are about the placement of the various components.  Do we need a second VBR server in Azure?  Should the Enterprise manager be shifted to Azure?  Would it be best to build the VRO server in Azure?  Also where does ONE fit into this?  We are talking to an MSP about getting this set up but wanted some advice from the expert community to put my mind at ease.  Thanks!

There has been an increase in interest from our customers and partners in alternative platforms and there’s no shortage of options in the hypervisor and cloud market. While many of the underlying virtualization components like KVM/Qemu/etc might be common to most of the platforms, the storage and management layers can vary quite a bit. Storage choices can affect the ability to take snapshots and capture changed block data between backup points via a host API and each management plane that sits above the compute/storage/networking can expose features and capabilities via the their APIs differently. KVM and Xen are Linux based hypervisor technologies that allow VM processes to access hardware through the host. The virtual disk data can be stored on a large variety of options such as local filesystems and disks, NFS, iSCSI/FC, LVMs, and distributed storage options like CEPH and Gluster or even proprietary options. Platforms can choose which software/hardware components to pair with their

Hi everyone,This is my situation: i configured a backup job on Veeam 12 on rdx drives; i ve got 3 drives (4TB each) and the total size of vms backup is around 1,6 TB; drives are changed daily.My goal is to make an incremental backup, veeam perform each day a full backup tough. So the third day the drives is put in the rdx reader  veeam gives me error because the storage is full.In repository settings i marked the rotated drives options. If i set the retention policy to 2 days nothing changes (because veeam policy always keep at least 3 restore points i guess).I tried also reversed incremental with no result. Is there any chance to manage an incremental backup on rotated drives in my situation?The best option would be to have in each drives a full backup + x incremental file, at worst i may configure a pre-job script to manually prune one of the two full backup on the drive. David

提示升级和更新。扫描后，它会提示该文件不存在。应该怎么做？我觉得这个需要手动更新，我不知道该怎么办 

Good day all,Hostnames and IPs are ficticious, just to protect my environmentCase:N.B. Primary veeam server was off during the config restoration. Both servers can resolve hostnames to IP, full communication between sites/on WAN, same domain as well.I used (Site1) primary veeam server “veeamserver1” backed up .bco file and restored it to (site 2) secondary veeam server. “veeamserver2” After restoration on veeamserver2, RED X came up on both hosts and repositories.On veeamserver 2, I did a rescan on on hosts and i got error(all hosts) for below:-Error - [Serverhost1] Disks and volumes discovery failed Error: Access is denied.  RPC function call failed. Function name: [GetSvcVersion]. Target machine: [192.168.40.30:6160].-Host discovery failed For the local repositories rescan i got error below: -Error    Processing backup repositories Error: Selected server Veeamserver2.JPOL.LOCAL is unavailable.-Warning    Failed to synchronize Site1Repo Details: Selected server Veeamserver2.JPOL.LOCAL

Hi all,I’m currently running Ubuntu 20.04.6 in a Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V VM. Veeam B&R CE 12 is installed on the VM host, which is scheduled to backup the VM every so often. I’ve been struggling for quite awhile now trying to troubleshoot some instability in the VM. It appears that applications start crashing following a Veeam backup opeartion on the VM. Multiple different applications will seg fault, including systemd. In doing this troubleshooting, while watching journalctl, I see several I/O related errors scroll by during a Veeam backup:Oct 16 16:12:43 ubuntush multipathd[600]: sdc: path already removedOct 16 16:12:42 ubuntush multipathd[600]: uevent trigger errorOct 16 16:12:20 ubuntush multipath[16675]: sdc: can't store path infoOct 16 16:12:19 ubuntush kernel: sd 0:0:1:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI diskOct 16 16:12:19 ubuntush kernel: sdc: detected capacity change from 167772160 to 0Oct 16 16:12:19 ubuntush kernel: sd 0:0:1:0: [sdc] 4096-byte physical blocksOct 16 16:12:19 ubuntush

Hi All,Occasionally there are a few Windows replica VMs that come up 169.x on NIC 0 during boot. They are VCD enabled replicas. We are using VLAN direct mapping without NSX in this case. Job network mappings are set and functional. 95% of them boot as they should. The few that come up with an APIPPA address will obtain the correct IP *if* I go to the NIC config in VCD for the VM and disable NIC 0, add NIC 1 and set to static pool along with the VLAN. (connected, primary). This has been tested as repeatable across reboots once it’s been changed in VCD. I took a look at the VMX and the Veeam statements look correct as far as I can tell. PCI ID also matches. This doesn’t seem to be limited to a single VCD Org. Troubleshooting I’ve tried so far, Update VM tools to the latest.  Review device manager for ghosted adapters.  Add a second NIC (works)I’m wondering if anyone else has bumped into this and what the findings were if so. TIA

Hello,I am trying to do a bare metal recovery of a physical windows server 2019.First, I have created a recovery media from the agent backup, then mounted that .iso on the Dell Idrac9 and tried to boot form virtual CD/DVD/ISO, but it’s getting stuck at the windows logo screen.I have also tried to boot from the same iso on a VM just to test. This time, it worked, the veeam console came up and  I got all the options for restoration. But on the physical server, it’s not working.Please let me know where I am going wrong. I have attached the screenshot of the stuck screen. Thank you.

IntroductionIn the first of 4 blog posts of this [Migrate Veeam Infrastructure Off Production Domain series], we described the fundamental security reasons behind moving the Veeam infrastructure components OFF Production domain. In this blog post, we will provide step by step guidance for moving a Veeam Backup and Replication™ (VBR) infrastructure off the Production Domain onto a Backup Workgroup. Disclaimer: This is not intended to be a complete Security Best practice reference, nor does it address every possible scenario. A Veeam Solutions Architect can be engaged as needed to assist with VBR Security Best Practices, especially with complex deployments.Setup  The scenario is comprised of the following servers:A Production Domain Controller / DNS server 2 ESX hosts and 1 vCenter Veeam Backup and Replication server (VBR) with local PostgreSQL database Veeam Enterprise Manager server (VBEM) with local PostgreSQL database Veeam Gateway server Veeam Mount server Veeam ONE server Veeam Pro

Since a few weeks, my backup of my Windows disk (that used to work seamlessly) fails with:Error: Shared memory connection was closed. Failed to upload disk. Skipped arguments: [EmulatedDiskSpec>]; Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}. Exception from server: The size of the internal FIB block (58368) cannot be less then the default block size (1048576). Failed to download disk 'a289c469-b376-11ec-83e5-68545a920099'I could not find this particular error message online. How can I get it to work again?I use Veeam Agent for Windows 6.2.0.121.

I want to ask that anyone has tested that  Veeam Backup and Replication Software Version 12 Supports IBM Spectrum Scale GPFS File system ?If any one has tested it on this version, guide me please.
