VMWare Proxy

I’m a newbie when it comes to Veeam so I’m still learning the ropes.I have a question about Proxys, and how they can potentially help us improve the speed in which we backup.Currently we have 4 core sites with our B&R located at one of those sites, therefore this one site is backing up the 4 sites job after job then transferring them over to a Linux Hardened Repo as backup copies.The server itsellf has x2 10G nics which I don’t belief are currently being used to their full potential due to them only using Cat5e (wasn’t setup by me).As you can appriciate a lot of load on a single server, so any help on how we can potentially set this up correctly.

Immutable Backup for Daily Backups to a Harneded Linux Storage

Need some clarification. On this scenario i have a windows server that run an app and i want to backup the whole server (in case we ever need to restore it i can just dump it on a vm) but i want to make this whole backup daily and immutable. For what i understand there is a set number of days for immutability but not sure how does this work for daily backups.  Whats the correct settings to do on this case?  Are these backups like whole backup every day or its incremental only? Thanks.

Veeam Backup for Proxmox – Architecture and Setup (Part 1)

Support for Proxmox from Veeam has been one of the top requests in the last months. Therefore the announcement in May to extend the Hypervisor support to Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE) has been long awaited! This will be the 7th virtualization platform supported by Veeam, in addition to the 3 cloud hyperscalers and the Veeam agents.The Proxmox integration is currently planned for Q3 of 2024 and v1 will already include some nice features/benefits:flexible storage options immutable backups granular recovery cross-platform recovery (for example Proxmox <> VMware) Veeam ‘standard’ performance with CBT, hot add backup and BitlookerIn part 1 of this blog series I want to give a quick overview of the architecture of Veeam Backup for Proxmox and it’s initial setup. Disclaimer: All information and screenshots in this blog post are based on an early access release.

How to move backups between different S3 (blob) providers and different Veeam B&R servers?

I asked this in the Veeam forums, I figure I ask here as well: I have Veeam B&R server1, with a SOBR repo, the capacity extend going to Azure. i have a Veeam B&R server 2, with a SOBR repo, with the capacity tier going to Wasabi.What is the best way of getting the backups going to Azure on Veeam server 1 to Wasabi on Veeam server 2? Goal is to eventually decommission server 1.I can recreate the backup and backup copy jobs on server 2, so then point forward, it will use Wasabi. But how will I get the existing historical backups in Azure on server 1 to Wasabi on Veeam server 2?

error host discovery

Hello friends, could you help me with a problem?I have a cluster with 8 HP servers, and they run Windows Server 2012 R2 and the Hyper-V feature.I have a Veeam Backup Community and every time I register my servers as a Hyper-V Stand-Alone Cluster, after a few hours, Host Discovery gives an error and gets disconnected. It only reconnects when I repeat the process of including the Host again, but then, after a few hours, it stops again.And with this problem, all the backups I schedule give an error.Does anyone have any tips for me?Please.

How to delete encrypted backup from VCC Repo

Hi folks, I have an interesting one.  I have a client whose 12.2 upgrade experienced issues and the server had to be rebuilt.  That said, the encryption password kept on file for whatever reason doesn’t match what was used in production.  I have reattached to the local and VCC repo that the client was using.  When the restore points are showing as Encrypted in the console, I don’t see an option to delete the datat.  For the local repo, I was able to just delete the data directly from the repo and rescan, but I don’t see an option to do the same on the VCC repo.  If I CTRL-Right click the job name in the Backups, I have an option to Remove from Configuration or Decrypt Backup.  Anyone have a suggestion on how to delete the restore points from the VCC repo aside from having support do it on the back-end (it’s an Iland/11:11 Systems VCC)?  I guess I can see an argument for not allowing locked restore points from being deleted in the console, but wanted to make sure there may not be anothe

MongoDB ReplicaSets + Pac-Man - Mission Critical High Scores

In this post I would like to highlight the new support for MongoDB within the Veeam Data Platform 12.2 and in particular within Veeam Backup & Replication.   What is MongoDB?  I expect many of you have come across SQL and maybe heard of the term NoSQL but what does this mean? These are two types of databases amongst many others but the purpose of this section is to discuss and highlight that MongoDB is a NoSQL database. a document-based, database management system (DBMS) that stores and manages data in flexible, JSON-like documents. It's a non-relational database, which means it doesn't use tables and rows like a relational database management system (RDBMS) does.See what they say themselves about their offering - https://www.mongodb.com/company/what-is-mongodb I will also add that MongoDB can be leveraged in many different platforms, It could be in the form of VMs making up your replicaset, it could be their SaaS based version which is called MongoDB Atlas, most of the public clou

Technical Report 4948 NetApp E-Series storage with Veeam Backup & Replication

The new “Technical Report 4948 NetApp E-Series storage with Veeam Backup & Replication: Reference architecture and best practices” is online!  But let's start from the beginning - how exactly did this happen?While we often use NetApp Ontap systems for primary storage environments, there are other requirements for backup storage.What really matters for backups:- Reliability- Blockstorage to get immutability through the hardened repository- Price/performance per TBFor smaller environments, we like to use rack servers with RAID controllers and internal HDDs.However, as soon as multiple 100 TB are required, the use of rack servers with internal discs is not always optimal, in terms of restore times, RAID expansion, etc.A very common combination for us is therefore a 1U rack server with a SAS or FC card. The E-Series is connected "Direct Attached" to this, this combination then provides a reliable and high-performance repository.I always call the E-Series "a better external RAID control

Guide to setting up XFS on top of ZFS on Linux Hardened Repository?

A little while ago we purchased an additional SAS storage enclosure for our existing Linux Hardened Repository server. Due to the number of disks, and also because we only have a Host Bus Adaptor rather than a hardware RAID card, we attempted to set this up as 5 md-raid6 arrays of 12 drives each, combined into a single volume using LVM.While initially this seemed to be working, after a little bit we have been getting tons of I/O errors. We exhausted all possible troubleshooting steps in collaboration with Veeam support, but it just seems like this is a wrong setup for a Veeam repository.I recently discovered the concept of “XFS on ZFS”, i.e. the idea of being able to set up a ZFS ZPOOL - which would replace the md-raid and LVM parts mentioned above - and then format this with the XFS filesystem. Apparently this is not a new idea either, as I found it was mentioned briefly in a Veeam webinar at https://www.veeam.com/resources/videos/build-secure-repositories-17144.html?rwty.Does anyone

IBM FlashSystem Plugin and 12.2

For those with IBM Flash System Storage, you will have noticed a surprise at the end of your 12.2 upgrade. It will ask you to install the plug-in on your Veeam server at the end of the process. It will also tell you that backup jobs may not work properly until you do. The first take away is don’t start this upgrade at 3PM on a Friday thinking you have plenty of time to upgrade your entire Veeam infrastructure before the end of the day.  This extra step didn’t take too long but still added some extra time to the process. As with anything, check the release notes, and compatibility with all hardware, software, and firmware before doing installs on production servers.   This is a very simple install that requires hitting next a few times and waiting.  Setup In this test, I’m using both backup from storage snapshots, as well as snapshot only jobs. Snapshot jobs are easy to configure as seen below.For the backup repository, choose snapshot only. If you configure a secondary destination, you

VeeamVssHwSnapshotProviderSvc.msi with VeeamVssProviderSvc does not work on Win10.

Hi all,During the upgrade to V12 for several of our customers we received an error where we couldn’t upgrade all the components.VeeamVssHwSnapshotProviderSvc.msi with Veeam VSS Hardware Provider Service (VeeamVssProviderSvc) service inside does not work on client Windows 10 A short workaround on this: Connect to the database and perform the following statement (of course, take a backup of your database first!)delete from [dbo].[HostComponents] where id = '8A3F9C13-90F3-4B1C-A2A7-C82E6AB66E0F'  It seems that not all Windows 10 installations are facing this problem. We’ll try to figure out of certain builds are involved in this. On the other hand, a fresh v12 install in Win10 works without any problems.
