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!!

How to be notified about new content at Community Hub?

Hey Community, I received a few messages from community members asking how to get notifications when there is a new content published (in this case we talked about “Blogs and Podcasts” category). I thought I would do a quick post about it. First, there is a possibility to subscribe to every category at Community Hub Let’s say, you would like to subscribe to “Blogs and Podcasts” category. To do so, you have to push ‘SUBSCRIBE’ button at the right side as shown at the screenshot below: Once it’s done - you will start receiving notifications about new topics created!Again, you can get subscribed to any category: whether it’s Discussion boards or News. You can also manage notification settings at your profile.If you experience any issues with notifications - please let me know!

Linux Server Management Options

Good day Community -With Linux being more prevalant in environments, including Veeam supporting Linux within its deployment components, it is a bit cumbersome to manage all these devices individually. So my question for the Community today is → what centralized management tool(s) do you use to manage your Linux server footprint?..to update, push scripts, monitor, etc? I’m needing to update & even push a script (change) out to our Linux servers and don’t want to touch all of them individually. Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated.I did a little bit of searching before posting and saw a tool called Landscape which looks promising, but don’t know anything about it & open to hear anyone’s experience with it...or again..any tool. Thanks in advance!

How to create direct connection from Veeam Agents to Wasabi

Is it possible to make the traffic from Veeam Agents go directly to Wasabi instead of going through our VSPC/VCC server? This will create a lot of network traffic and engress cost for us in Azure. In the manuals it says we should create cloud connect repository (with f.ex) wasabi. Was hoping that even this sets the Cloud Connect Repository in Veeam Agents, it would understand it was an object storge and route the backuptraffic directly to Wasabi itself.

Is there a way to uncheck best answer?

I did it again. Went to hit the like button and missed. lol Can you uncheck best answer once you check it? It’s not a big deal, but the second I clicked it i was thinking, that is going to look odd.

VeeamON 2023 Archive - Easy download all sessions!

have "borrowed" the content from the VeeamON event website before it disappears. I have extracted all the session details and saved them in markdown documents. Additionally, I have downloaded and stored all the referenced presentation files in this archive. Each session markdown provides comprehensive information including abstract, speakers, and resources for download."But why, Ben?!"Yesterday, a call for help was issued on the Vanguard Slack channel... And now we have an archive of the VeeamON sessions that took place in Miami!No point in embedding much here so head on over tohttps://github.com/benyoungnz/VeeamON-2023-ArchiveEither clone it offline, or you can navigate through the Github interface, all markdown files are linked together.

VeeamON Review - Mine, and Share Yours?

I did a VeeamON review post on LinkedIn. You can find it here. Thought it would be neat to have a central place for others, who didn’t write a post on the ‘Hub’, to share a link to their own write-up so people can read them. Or actually, if you want to share your Hub post...I think that’s cool too...all in a central spot! 😊 If you feel so inclined, please post a link to your review below.Thanks all!

New Cluster Node Requires Full Backup

We’re trying to do a rolling OS upgrade of two physical servers in a Window Failover Cluster. The roles/resources are two Storage Space disks holding >20Tb of data each. When we add a new node to the cluster, Veeam is insisting on a Full backup of each shared disk, which is not ideal. According to documentation at the link below, this appears to be “by design” but this is very painful and our only option is to significantly expand the size of our backup target. Is there any way to skip this full backup requirement? We do weekly synthetic fulls, so I added an additional one to the schedule but it still insisted on an actual full, not synthetic. From a technical standpoint, I could understand needing to reset or ignore CBT and do a scan of the whole disk, but this is the only backup software I’ve used that arbitrarily requires a full backup when cluster node changes happen. Does this affect other cluster workloads like SQL or VMs? I had planned on moving those into our Veeam backup en

Help Request: New Custom Search Engine

A little background for those who don't know I developed and have managed a custom search engine for Veeam named resources for (almost) 5 years. With the success of this one hitting over 200k unique searches I want to and expand and test a new search engine that pulls in content from third-party content creators outside the Veeam domain. I struggled if I should put this content directly into the original search engine or to keep it separate and I have decided to keep it separate for now... with the possibility of adding it into the main search depending how it does later. Please read AllWhat I need from you: If you would like your blog or you would like to promote someone's blog who has good Veeam content please comment that URL. I am looking for additional things that might help define good tags. Content can be anything from cross langue support, best practice, release in information, troubleshooting, and anything else Veeam related. Not limited to the Veeam 100 managed content.Not ju

Save Specific VM on a scale-out repository

Hi,I have a Dell Data Domain repository for local backups and i want to send some critical VMs backups to the AWS S3, to withstand disasters.So when I tried to create a scale-out using the existing Dell data domain and AWS S3, the interface told me that all tasks that use the Dell data domain will be updated to point to the the scale-out repository.Is there a way to keep the majority of backup jobs pointing to the Dell data domain and choosing some backup jobs to point to the scale-out repository?

VBR v12 RTM removed " Install a new instance" selection from Installation setup with the Microsoft SQL Server, bug or normal?

I noticed VBR v12 RTM removed the " Install a new instance" selection from the Installation setup with the Microsoft SQL Server.An error message will pop up if the Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft SQL Server Express does not install locally or remotely.That means I need to install Microsoft SQL or SQL express before installing Veeam Backup and Replication manager server (I knew v12 supports PostgreSQL) if I would like to work with Microsoft SQL? or is it a bug?

Disaster Recovery Orchestrator (v6) Error, Failed to Login to vCenter

We’ve been testing our Orchestration Plan and after failover to our DR site, the certs on our vCenters were replaced and broke the connections between our DRO and vCenters. Had to refresh the connection so the DRO can take in the new certs. However, when we tried to failback to our primary site, we had the login error to vCenter. The issue was fix when we had to go into the built-in VBR and refresh the connection in VBR itself. I would tend to think that DRO itself would be able to restore the connections within its built-in VBR and VeeamOne. Let me know what you think or if I’m missing something here.
