Veeam Recovery Media fails to boot with Server 2022 on AMD Server HPE DL345

Hello.I have an issue with booting from Recovery Media created with Windows Free Agent V6.The Server HPE DL345 GEn11 is running Windows Server 2022.When i try to boot from ILO Boot starts. I get the message Press any Key to boot. Than it immdiately switchs back to BIOS boot settings.Same Problem with booting from RUFUS Stick.On DL380 Gen10 with Intel CPU it works fine.Booting from Server 2022 ISO is working on the AMD EPYC is working fine.I created the Recovery Image twice. And added the USED Drivers as otopnal drivers too. No Changes.Booting the AMD from a different WRONG Recovery Image (Z2 Workstation) boots “Press any key to start ...) and freezes the Server at once. Any ideas?Greetings from Germany.

Question about Forever Forward backups

Hello,Regarding Forever Forward backups, is it necessary to create period full backups (either Active or Synthentic), or can you just go with the initial full backup and everything else is incremental? (I know it is probably at least RECOMMENDED to do periodic full backups, but let’s not worry about that for purposes of this post/question) If you were to go with just the initial full backup then leave the rest as incrementals, what happens if you have a corrupt/failed incremental backup in the chain, but need to do a restore of a file?  Is Veeam able (and smart enough) to work around it? (i.e., if it has a failed or corrupt incremental backup, is Veeam smart enough to start the next backup based on the last good incremental and basically ignore the failed/corrupt one?) Thanks! :-)

Nutanix AVH plugin vs Agent?

Hello, I just recently installed Nutanix AVH for a client; they were previously on VMware (and backing up with Veeam). I setup two backup jobs that use the Nutanix AVH plugin/appliance, but to be honest, I am not “happy” with it, and am wondering if it might be better to use the Windows/Linux agent to backup, but not sure what pros and cons are. What I am not overly-happy with with the Nutanix AVH plugin are:   * Even though VMs are in the same job, backups get split per-VM, which I don’t think get any benefit from deduplication (though I think they benefit from compression still).  The agent-based backups seem to behave more like the VMware-based backups in  that the VMs in the same job get backed up to one file (named for the job), and benefit from deduplication (as well as compression)  * The “session report” is very light on details.  I had come to like the details provided by the “normal” session report I could see previously (and which I can get with the agent-based backups) What

vSphere 8.0 U2 is Released: Reminder not to Update immediately

Morning everyone, VMware vSphere 8.0 U2 is now available, with improvements to lifecycle management, AI workloads, and DevOps amongst others!https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2023/09/vsphere-8-update-2-now-available.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vsphere-8-update-2-now-available A quick reminder to all, Veeam Backup & Replication v12 only supports up to vSphere 8.0 U1 currently. Veeam can’t start their validation until the code is available so we’ll now see Veeam begin their testing process. You can check the status of vSphere platform support here: https://www.veeam.com/kb2443Veeam typically target vSphere platform support within 90 days of release, so with the betas of VBR 12.1 functionality appearing online, I’d guess we won’t see 8.0 U2 support until 12.1 ships unless that encounters massive delays. So yes, wait for Veeam to support vSphere 8.0 U2 before you upgrade, there’s no point having all this new functionality if you can’t protect any of your work

Veeam v12 and StoreOnce replication issue

working in a client env with veeam v11 and 12….just upgraded to v12.we have issues with replication not working (started all of a sudden 3 weeks ago). Support said that it was a known issue in v11 and we needed to upgrade. Tbh I wasn’t convinced as its been working fine for some time.Anyway we upgraded to v12 but replication is still not working.You can see that the copy is seen as in-progress so Veeam is just trying to send data. You can also see on the storeonce side that Veeam files have landed/created with ZERO bytes. It just sits there for hours and you dont see any data being transmitted for some reason…..We do have a call with support but just wondered if you guys had any ideas. We’ve involved HPE and run scripts on the storeonce appliances which are able to send files between the devices (1G files, 10G files etc).

Second AV for SureBackup

Hi Community,We are using as AV solution Sentinel One. This Solution isn’t standard included in the AntivirusInfo.xml for Secure Restore/SureBackup. So I had to create my own entry, based on very little info and no list of error codes. It’s working but I don’t feel 100% safe as it wasn’t standard included or supported. During a recent Veeam On Tour it was brought to my attention, that using a different AV solution other then the one that’s active on your server bring an extra level of security/check. Now standard on this windows servers os Defender installed.Defender is also standard part of the AntivirusInfo.xml. We don’t want 2 AV solutions add the same time active on our systems. However if we could for example with SureBackup start a PS script that activate Defender at the start of the job and deactivates it again add the end of the task. This would be a great solution to me. Has anyone here this kind of solution in place and would like to share the PS?What about the AntivirusInfo.

Issue with SMTP Notification Emails After Update to Version 12

Dear Veeam Community,I hope this finds you well. I've encountered an issue after updating to Veeam Version 12 and was hoping someone might have come across a similar problem or can provide some guidance.**Problem Description:** After the update, I am unable to send notification emails. I consistently receive the error message: "Unable to connect to SMTP server because of invalid credentials or connection settings." I am certain of my credentials, having double-checked multiple times.Steps Taken:1. I've tried all configuration variants using both ports 587 and 465.2. When using port 465, I am able to apply the settings, but an error then displays.3. With port 587, the error surfaces after sending the test message.**Mail Server Error Logs:** From the logs, the following sections raised concerns:* `SASL login authentication failed`* `TLS library problem: error:14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate`The error regarding the TLS library is particularly concerning.

Let's talk storage.

I’m in the market for new storage at 2 sites. I’m hoping to get some input from the community here if any of you have a lot of data, or fast storage. Requirements - You need to be able to hit a minimum of 2GB/s on your Veeam jobs to post your solution. I want you to detail your proxy, repo, and storage setup as well. (This is not a competition though) Currently I have 2 V7000’s. I can hit about 2.2GB/s sending data to 6 LTO8 drives. I am hitting about 6k IOPS but the latency starts to increase at this point.  I’ve been happy with this storage, (7200RPM disks) but it’s time to upgrade, and I am looking at a few options. Option 1) Exagrid at 2 sites. 10+ EX84 per site    - Does anyone here own Exagrid storage? What is your performance like, how about long term restores? The price is decent, I just have concerns about a large scale instant restore, synthetic operations, merges etc.  (Those are my current pain points with my current v7000s It’s fast untill I run too many at once) Option 2)

Who likes Tofu? The Linux Foundation announces OpenTofu

Hey folks,It seems like just yesterday that HashiCorp announced changes to the Terraform licensing plan and already there is a possible alternative on the horizon. The Linux Foundation announced today the formation of the OpenTofu project which is being billed as an alternative to Terraform. As they say, we will wait and see what happens but since LF is involved this is definitely not a dead from the start.You can read more here: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/announcing-opentofu

After v12 Upgrade Agent Backup Job Of Veeam Server Fails

I’ve recently gone through the process of upgrading my Veeam implementation from v11 to v12. Everything has upgraded correctly and I’ve even managed to get a hardened repository server upgraded successfully. My problem is that although all configured jobs are quite happily running and successfully completing under v12, the physical Veeam server running as an agent backup job fails. This was working previously before the upgrade. Is there any solution to this issue.

Entra ID Protector - A new Powershell script on the horizon

NewsI would like to share with you a recipe from my "Script Kitchen" that I'm in the process of matching ingredients to. The question I asked myself: Do you really need to protect your Entra ID tenant(s)? My answer: see below ;) IntroEntra ID stores a variety of settings and policies that are important to the continuity of your business. Anything that compromises your Entra ID configuration can result in an immediate loss of access to data and applications. So how about exporting the information to another location so it can be analyzed and imported or reconfigured if something bad happens? And how about adding a retention to the exported data?Microsoft provides some built-in retention mechanisms (Recycle Bin), but these mechanisms are not enough to meet the needs of most organizations. The Recycle Bin stores deleted objects such as users and groups for 30 days. Some limitations which I associate with it:- After 30 days the deleted objects are permanently deleted and cannot be recovere

SQL restart when doing Instant DB recovery

SQL restart when doing Instant DB recoveryThe Database went offline and in Recovery Pending state. It is currently doing Instant DB Recovery. Is it safe to restart SQL to bring the Database online without affect transactions already in the cache folder? Would it affect the Instant DB recovery process (I don’t think so but better to ask). What other processes should we consider before doing a restart of the SQL? Thanks.
