Tape drive cleaning alert message

TapeDrive alert: The tape drive is due for routine cleaning: Wait for the current operation to finish. Then use a cleaning cartridge. Check the tape drive user manual for device specific cleaning instructions. We have the cleaning tape in the library, and it is set to Perform drive cleaning automatically. Not sure why we would get the alert. Would ejecting and adding back to the drive resolve this issue?

Backups on different HDs

Good morning my friends, I have a question. Today I have 2 external HDs, where every Saturday I change one HD and the other week I put the other HD. One of them is doing the incremental process on the same folder regardless of the week it is. Already the other HD is creating a new folder and making the backups again. I don't want it to create another folder, I want it to use the same one. How do I do that? Since the other one is doing it and I just repeated the settings from the 1st HD to the 2nd HD.

Feature request: getting rid of admin credentials for application-aware processing?

This was also asked at the AMA session during the Veeam 100 summit: I’d like to have application aware processing on Windows boxes by pre-installing some special Veeam software, but without having to specify an administrator-level account during job configuration.@HannesKback then replied that on V11 AAP did that trick just fine, but further testing showed that it was not possible. At least not without providing an account with administrative access corresponding to the VM.@Mildur at the time provided me with an alternative: instead of backing up via the ESXi API, install a standalone agent on the VM boxes, that would allow backing up without having to configure an admin account to the box. Have not tested it yet, should work just fine though!In any case, it’s day one of the VMCE course (thanks Veeam :) ) and during discussion of the AAP-related options AlexH was pondering about exactly the same issue.In any case, I’d like to re-iterate my request to Veeam for providing a way to have a

In case you needed more reasoning as to why you need to backup your cloud workloads - RackSpace Hosted Exchange "Outage"

I’ve you’ve been following along, Friday Rackspace experienced a major disruption for their Hosted Exchange environment. Why exactly you’d still be using hosted exchange vs moving over to M365 I’m not sure, especially after Exchange has become such a major target for zero-day and ransomware attacks, but there were a lot of folks that still were and they’re hating life about now. Rumor’s I’ve heard indicate that their Exchange servers were not fully patched and malware has taken down the environment. Rackspace as indicated that the outage was caused by a “security incident”.To give a bit if idea just how bad it is, Rackspace is paying for it’s clients to utilize complimentary M365 Exchange Plan 1 licenses to get email up and flowing again, with the intention of moving back after this has been resolved, but I’m guessing most folks will not be moving back - I wouldn’t anyway. Rackspace actually took the hosted Exchange environment offline to try which sounds like ransomware and an atte

workingDir parameter will be removed when VM restore, that specify the root directory of the datastore

Even though the datastore exists and can be referenced at destination ESXi host, the workingDir parameter was removed during restore with the following message.2022/12/02 11:48:46 Removing workingDir parameter because it points to a non-existent datastore /vmfs/volumes/63652fbd-aed4fef5-8da8-48210b3d7365After checking with support(Case # 05738353), we were told that the Veeam specification is that if the root directory of the datastore is specified, it is removed even if it exists.Please note that there may be few cases where the root directory is specified.

Veeam SQL restore issue to Hyper-V guest

I’m using VBR Enterprise and I’ve an issue with a SQL Server database restore to a Hyper-V VM. I am currently backing up the VM using guest application processing which is working fine. It uses PowerShell Direct because the SQL VM is on a private VLAN, which cannot be accessed from the VBR server which is hosted in a different data centre. It can however access the hypervisors and all backups have been successful. Frustratingly, I’m unable to restore using the same methodology in reverse. Surely if I can backup successfully using PSDirect, I should be able to restore using the same method? I asked Veeam Support and they sent me here. 😐When I try a restore, I get an error saying VBR cannot access SQL… I can confirm that Named Pipes is enabled. Has anyone else ever run into this issue and found a fix? I really don’t think it’s acceptable that I’ve to ask for help on a community forum regarding an enterprise product that should work out-of-the-box, but here I am!

P2V Physical Dell Server

We are new with using Veeam P2V. We’ve successfully P2V’d a couple of servers without a issue.We have been asked to P2V a Dell server running windows 2012R2. Has 1 Hard drive that is 1TB.We deployed the Veeam agent and backed it up OK. We migrated into production (with NIC not connected and powered off). Once it was completed, we removed the nic from it in VCenter and added the VMXNET3 adapter and the correct assigned the Vlan back to it. We powered it on (w/NIC not Connected) and the server comes up and displays “Getting Devices Ready” and it just sits there with circle spinning.Anyone seen this before and have any suggestions of what the issue could be?

Backup job not running anymore

Hello everyone, I have run into an issue that I can’t seem to figure out. I have my system set up to backup on a daily basis but a backup has not run in the last 12 days. The only change made 12 days ago was a reinstall of Slack on my laptop. I have rebooted my system multiple times since that date along with performing an uninstall and reinstall of the agent. I am including a screenshot of the Windows agent and my system uptime below.I am not sure why there would be a job still running at this point and could really use some help. I am using Veeam B&R 11.5 CE and my laptop is running Windows 11 22H2. I know that my version of Windows technically is not supported until B&R 12 with Windows agent version 6 but they have not been released yet. I do know that the only thing that will not work with my version of Windows is the backup recovery media creation. Everything else should work according to Dimitry Popov in the following post.Dimitry Popov's post

Object Storage: Secure your buckets

IntroductionWith backup direct to object being one of the most anticipated features in v12 AND with the ever-increasing number of cyber-threats, it is paramount to secure access to our buckets.In this series of posts, I will explore v12's direct to object capabilities and offer some suggestions to batten down the hatches.Note: For this post, I will use Wasabi and Minio as my Object Stores of choice. While some slight variations are expected, keep in mind that the same concepts should apply to any S3 compatible target. Restrict bucket access with a simple User IAM policyYou can find the Amazon S3 Object Storage Permissions in the User Guide for VMware vSphere and kb3151 highlights the required steps.Let's review what that looks like in Wasabi's console. For this example, I will configure a simple S3 bucket without immutability. Step 1: Create the policy as described in kb3151This policy grants access to the <<orossisecurebucket01>> bucket to the identity it is associated wit

Thank you, Veeam, for being Veeam and being amazing

I just want to say how grateful I am for the Veeam culture and the way they operate as a company and their extensive involvement in the Veeam community. I have extensively also used a competing product and I feel largely ignored by them and I have deep seeded impression that the company’s engineers couldn’t care less about the customers’ ideas and concerns and believe they know better than the customer and just choose to ignore 99% of what is suggested to them, meanwhile they seem to have the development acumen and abilities of first year college students. Meanwhile, a company like Veeam, that is a giant and a powerhouse, goes out of its way to not only make an amazing product, but also is incredibly involved with their client community, includes them in the decision making process through the Veeam Legends and Vanguard programs, and goes out of their way to make sure their customers know they are heard and cared about.
