Hello,We are using self-service portal for our backups and we've discovered different size for each backup job. For example backup job on portal is showing 747,1GB of given backup but vbk file showing 855GB. what is the reason of this differences?thanks,Ladislav.

I have an Netapp A900. Volumes have a lot of shares in them. Adding shares individually would be tedious. So the question is, can I add the entire volume to a NAS job and then Veeam will protect all shares within the volume ?

I have a tape library with 4 drives. Veeam seems to be only using 2 of them. For example, right now I see all 4 drives - 1 is writing to 1 tape job, a 2nd is writing to another tape job, the other 2 drives are sitting, showing “idle”. Yet I have 5 more tape backup jobs sitting in queue, all showing status “0% completed”. Why isn’t Veeam writing some of those jobs to those 2 idle drives? I do have a setting on each tape job to limit it to no more than 2 drives, because I don’t want any 1 job to monopolize all tape drives. But Veeam seems to think that means to use only 2 drives *total*, not per-job. Have I missed some setting? Or set something wrong? I have a lot of data to write to tape every night, and more to come. In fact, I am waiting on 2 more tape drives, for a total of 6. But Veeam isn’t utilizing all the drives in the library. I did ask Tech Support, while I was troubleshooting another tape issue, but I never got a resp

Tape issues, Hey guys, I have been round and round with support and we are not getting far I have 28 tapes in my tape library and VEEAM sees them and reads them, but they are only showing 107gb free of 107gb total storage.  These are 30tb LTO8 drives and the systems UI itself shows the drives are 100% clear thoughts on what else I could try? I have done everything using the itdt.exe tool and still no luck    Thanks in advance

Hi Everyone,  I have a notification of potential malware detection on one of my VM with the message "potential malware activity detected: *.purge(Globe):1”  Does anyone know how to resolve this ?

Cloud team has done final sync-up of the source and destination bucket , so we disabled the backup job , created one object storage repository with the new aws account and then added to the capacity tier extent of existing SOBR , but we are unable to see the synchronize data option , please help

I know the answer is really “it depends”, but if customer says “what would you recommend” ..as they tend to do, what would be your go-to recommendation. Feel free to offer other options.

Recently as blogged already, I got a DS923+ Nas and here is one of the guides agreed upon. This short article will discuss how to set up iSCSI Target and Storage LUN on Synology DS923+ for VBR.ISCSI stands for Internet Small Computer System Interface. It revolutionizes storage accessibility by seamlessly transporting SCSI commands over TCP/IP networks, granting unparalleled block-level access to storage devices. This innovative technology bridges the gap between traditional storage systems and modern networking infrastructures, empowering businesses with efficient, scalable, and flexible storage solutions.iSCSI allows you to use a Windows repository with ReFS which leverages FastClone.

In the dynamic landscape of data protection, the efficacy of backups hinges not only on their creation but also on rigorous testing and validation processes. This article elucidates the paramount importance of regularly testing backups and underscores the significance of validation procedures, while also shedding light on the practical application of the 3-2-1-1-0 rule—a guiding principle in data backup strategy. Why Testing and Validation Are ImperativeEnsuring Data Integrity Regular testing of backups is essential to verify the integrity of the data being backed up. Data corruption, storage failures, or other unforeseen issues can compromise the integrity of backups. By routinely testing backups, organizations can identify and rectify any anomalies, thus ensuring that their data remains intact and recoverable.   Compliance Requirements Many industries are subject to

Can someone help me with info on how Veeam processes parallel VMDK’s? Does it uses VDDK Libraries or bypasses VDDK and uses its own libraries?  I have seen few backup solutions still struggling to achieve this parallel processing.  

a)I have a VBR 12 running on Postgre DBb)I am setting up another VBR and this time I dont want to use the default Postgre DB.Hence I an selecting Miceosoft SQL Server but its asking me to create the SQL Instance first. Am I supposed to install SQL Full Blown Instance or SQL Express Instance?  

Sadly, as my friend @Scott , I wont be able to attend this year,my family will grow and we are expecting this to happen at the end of July, so too risky.Im very happy and surprised about all Im seeng with the Virtual Event,Isnt like in person, Miami was a blast and a dream! but Hopefully I will catch the things that cut my eye, and engage with y’all and enjoy the presentation.I will miss the hallway talks, brekfasts, swimming pool and parties… OMG, Im gonna stop writing or I will start to cry.Thanks for preparing all this Virtual experience for the ones not allowed to attend in person.To me, Im still in love with the “Direct to S3” backup, Now the implementations in my case turn the table to be more flexible with Branches and ROBO offices, same with Home VIP users with the Agent.The Cyber and Malware features are more than welcome!Im very exited and looking forward to the “big announceme

Hello, Thanks, I cannot install latest VBRso this is what happened.For years, at VBR 11 installed and worked great. thanks veeam! Now, tried to update to latest 12.1. i downloaded .iso and checked md5 hash. That update failed, complained could not uninstall veeam for linux. I tried again to update and this time, instead of being asked to upgrade, i was only given option to Install. I tried to install, but VBR complains about seen belowSo I tried to manually remove VBR using:https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/how-to-uninstall-v12-community-edition-completely-t89675.htm

We have Veeam Data platform enterprise plus premium license and need to install license file on physical laptop client. but no luck. we tried to install same license file on physical laptop. but no luck.Please suggest.

I have been working on learning how Veeam SysLog can be utilized with the Azure SEIM tool Sentinel. This entry focuses on what I learned about KQL and an idea of how that can be useful when examining these events. I hope you find it useful, and if anyone wants to know more about the setup, just let me know. What is KQL?Kusto Query Language (KQL) is a powerful, read-only language designed to query structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. It is primarily used with Azure Data Explorer for swift and interactive analysis of vast data sets.Why Use KQL?KQL is optimized for efficiently handling massive volumes of data, making it suitable for tasks like log analysis, telemetry data crunching, and monitoring applications and infrastructure. And is deeply integrated with various Microsoft services like Azure Monitor, Azure Log Analytics, and Application Insights. KQL's syntax is easy to pick up, especially for those familiar with SQL. It include

Hey all,I have installed veeam backup in GCP and in the policies I have created, both the snapshot and the backup are working (attached images).now i would like to clone this backup that veeam has generated, in a new instance of GCP, but i don't see how to do it.the idea is not to use the veeam windows backup (VBR) or another system, but to do it from GCP.take the structure that veeam has created when leaving the backup and restore or clone the machine in GCP.I don't see the option to do it. maybe it is not possible. someone help me to clarify this issue.I have consulted articles like the ones below, but they do not help me:If it is not possible to do it as I indicate, and I have to use VBR as a prerequisite, what is the point.I mean, is it essential to use it? is it mandatory to hav

 Deduplicating storage appliances plays a significant role in organizations' data protection strategy by reducing consumed storage, eliminating similar data blocks, and providing secure long-term data storage using mechanisms such as immutability.However, when developing the architecture and solution for any project, it is important to understand the business requirements for correctly implementing and using these solutions.Depending on the deduplication appliance, it all comes down to understanding and choosing an appropriate trade-off between space savings, restoring speed, and cost optimization so that the implementation provides the expected result.It is important to highlight that Veeam VBR allows customers

In case you missed it:Veeam has issued an enhanced update to address a critical vulnerability in Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC).Although our initial patch effectively addressed the primary concern, a subsequent review identified an area for further improvement. To ensure comprehensive protection, we swiftly developed and released a refined patch that fully mitigates the issue. We're confident this updated version reinforces the security of Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC) and demonstrates our commitment to continually strengthening our response measures. Knowledge Base article https://www.veeam.com/kb4575 has been updated detailing the issues.So the latest build number now is 8.0.0.19552 which supersedes 8.0.0.19236

Hi Team,Actually, we restored one VM through instance recovery and it’s completed successfully, but one NFS datastore mounted on vCenter datastore. why? and one more thing if it is mount then after should be delete automatically? why it is deleted manually?is there any option available to avoid mounting or delete automatically.
