What is the Automation Desk and what should it become?

The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency. - Bill Gates Do you have to do that (tedious) task every day? Do you have to deploy Veeam environments quite often? Don't want to do clickety click every time you need to create a new job? Want to reduce the possibility of "Human error"? Step in to the Automation Desk! These are just examples of topics that you could find or ask for at our Desk. Within the Automation Desk, you can ask and share anything Automation. As long as it is Veeam Related. Not sure? Ask one of the leaders. You can find them on the right side of the groupWhat can you add / do in the Automation Desk?Ask any Automation question Create (blog) posts related to automation or share news Join special events Share your thoughts, ideas, struggles etc. Automate!

What is the Kubernetes Korner and what should it become?

The Korner is a place where you can start your Kubernetes Journey.Veeam understood correctly that a huge group of IT specialists will need to get familiar with Kubernetes at an accelerate time frame because the demand for specialists will grow exponentially. However, this is much easier said than done given the fact that many people are working a full-time job and perhaps still believe that they have not yet achieved enough expertise in existing technologies that they are working with.The Kubernetes Korner will help everyone overcome these difficulties and learn together. What can you do at the Kubernetes Korner? Do the daily Kube Task, a brief Kubernetes task in an environment that we help you setup Ask any question you may have Create posts. Watch out for special events and meetings that are Cloud Native related Think of any ideas for the Kube Korner, this is your Korner too! We are all on this learning path together and our joint efforts will result in everyone’s common success!!

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.

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

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

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.

VBR Proxmox VM-Backup not possible - Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)

Hi all, my first entry here :-)I use the Community Edition of VBR for backing up two proxmox-vms. Installation was no problem and worker was configured. If I backup linux-vms there is no problem. But if I try to backup two windows server 2022 vms (image for hpe proliant server) i get the error: Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). If i check the guid in windows with power shell the guid seems to be good. I tried serveral things but it is not possible to do a backup.Anybody a solution or the same problem? Daniel

veeamdeployer named containers on Azure storage account

Hi Community.  I have an Azure storage account I am no longer using as a repository for VBAz policies.  I was going to delete the account until I noticed there are three containers named “veeamdeployer<random>”, and each container contains the same 3 files: veeamDeploymentdll.dll, veeamDeploymentSvc.exe, and veeamNetworkRedirector.exe.  Does anyone know if these containers and files are needed now that I’m well beyond deployment into Azure?  Thank you.

Inline Entropy Analysis

Who here is using it and who is not? I’m going to start this thread to get an idea of how long the first jobs will take following enable it. Please list the approximate size of your data, or specific jobs, and how long compared to normal the first backup was due to not using CBT. Myself I am wanting to enable it, but really wish I could enable it on 1 backup job at a time as the CPU load is not as much of a concern as the added time to my backup window.
