Daylight Saving Time (DST) triggers Full Files to Tape backup of complete repository?

Hi there in Virtual World :)Running Veeam 11 - We experienced a complete full “Files to Tape” backup when the daily Tape job ran for the first time after entering Daylight Saving Time (DST) last weekend.ALL files in our backup Disk repository (xx TB) - that means UNCHANGED Veeam backup files from the last 4 months - was all sent to Tape once again - taking several job-runtime days to finish - and filling up a lot of new Tapes, which we needed to supply into the Tape library.Have anybody else experienced similar issues?As far as I have read - Veeam operates in the UCT format - which should not be sensitive due Server time changes or DST - except changes in the local job time schedule:Daylight savings time - Veeam R&D ForumsDaylight saving switch changes job start time - Veeam R&D Forums We didn`t have any other issues running the usual VM Machine jobs to disk.This issue has been raised to the Veeam Support - and it has been escalated to their RnD engineers.So hopefully they wil

Question about reports

I’m looking at my Veeam B&R and all of my VMs show backed up and they even show restore points. You can see from the attached pic that my VM has 10 restore points. I’ve even done a restore from one of the restore points and it is in fact the VM from 5 days ago. Now, in Veeam ONE, when I look at my protected VMs report, I see zero VMs as protected no matter what time frame I select. My “other” reports that I run look accurate, but my protected VM report literally shows all of my VMs as unprotected, meaning no backups or no restore points for the RPO. It sure seems like I’m missing something. Only just now looking at reporting so hoping for some guidance here. Thank you

synology running linux vm as hardened repo

Can’t find an exact answer to this scenario. Is it possible to run a Linux vm (Ubuntu) on a synology (via VMM), and expose (or give access to) the underlying storage to the vm so that we can use the immutable feature?example:1: 40tb storage in one volume2: ubuntu vm having access to that storage somehow (I’m unfamiliar with vms aim synology)3: somehow configuring the veeam server to point to the Ubuntu vm storage so that it can use immutability

Free Quantum DXi V5000 Community Edition

If you are like me and can’t turn down something that is free, you should try out the Quantum DXi V5000 Community Edition download. What you get is virtual backup appliance that has all of the features and capabilities that Quantum’s physical DXi dedupe appliance has. What is wicked cool, a New England way of saying “awesome”, is you can store up to 100TB of data on the DXi V5000 using only 5 TB of disk capacity. This is assuming you see the full 20:1 deduplication of your data, so based on your data you might see less than the full 100TB. Like I said, I can’t pass up a good thing that is also free. So, I am going to download the DXi V5000 and install it in my home lab. I will also write a future blog on how to use the DXi V5000 with Veeam. Hope you take a look at the DXi V5000 and find it useful.

Design Q for Agent backups

Design question, how to not overload the firewall.Customer has a physical B&R server on LAN1, and a physical Linux Hardened Repo on LAN1.They also have like 100 Physical servers on LAN2, 3 and 4.Traffic goes through the firewall obviously, and the fear is that it will overload it, affecting production.Since we can’t use Proxy Servers for Agent backups (no such thing apparently), how can I avoid pulling the traffic through the Firewall?The B&R Server and LHR are 10Gbit and use tagged VLANs, so I can quite simply add VLAN2,3,4 to the VLAN trunk and give them a link into the Agent VLANs. Will that work? Do I need to add both the B&R server and the LHR, or just the LHR? Can an LHR have several IP’s like that and still work? Will the traffic go from the agent directly to the LHR or via the B&R server?Other ideas welcome...Thanks!

Configure AMI / timeout / retries for Veeam Proxy Appliance in AWS

Hello,I’m trying to restore a Veeam backup from Capacity tier (S3) into an EC2 instance in AWS.However, I’m facing a problem with the proxy instance. Once I start the restore process, the proxy instance is created, but after abou a minute I get an error:“Preparing proxy appliance VM Error: The destination would not be a correct SSH server.”I tried ssh to the proxy, but the connection gets rejected, while connections to other hosts in the same subnet with the same security groups are successful.So I manually created an instance using the same settings Veeam uses for the proxy, same subnet, security groups, AMI, and found that connections are successful, but only a few minutes after instance creation with that particular AMI Veeam chooses for the proxy instance (aws-parallelcluster-3.1.4-ubuntu-2004-lts).Now, the question is, is there a way to configure the AMI, the timeout or the number of SSH retries for the proxy appliance?Thanks!!!

SharePoint Online Auth Failures - Modern Auth Backups Likely Impacted

Hi, Microsoft have a service alert for SharePoint Online. If you’re doing everything right, odds are you’re using modern auth for your Microsoft 365 backups, in which case, you’re using the Graph API. In this scenario, you may find you’re getting “Access Denied” errors in your backups, or even in your BAU processes. If so you want to check out SP381039. The latest information is some authentication components are missing for certain environments causing the failure. Microsoft are redeploying these components, no ETA as yet. Full output here:—-Published Time: 17/05/2022 16:40:16Title: Users may see 'Access Denied' errors when using Graph APIs for SharePoint OnlineUser Impact: Users may see 'Access Denied' errors when using Graph APIs for SharePoint Online.Current status: We've confirmed that a recent feature deployment misconfiguration has prevented components associated with the authentication feature from being available in a group of customer environments, which is producing 'Access

Question about reporting, Veeam ONE

One of my clients uses Veeam B&R for backing up 43 VMs. It’s working great. Now I’m being asked for a report on each VM, how often it’s backed up, how many restore points are kept and for how long we keep the backup of the VM. As I am new to ONE reporting, I’m hoping someone here can tell me what report I need from the canned reports or whether or not I need to create a custom report, and maybe how. Thank you! NVM...I figured it out. Pretty sweet reporting tools in ONE.

Is Object Storage ready for primary storage?

This week at VeeamON we will get a lot of information about VBR’s v12 new capabilities to use Object Storage as primary backup target. For many customers this is most often the use case of Object Storage: Backup. But not all are of this opinion of course! For example VMware vSAN is an Object Storage. Also MinIO says it is primary storage. I would be interested what the community thinks of this? Is Object Storage ready for primary storage? What are your experiences with it?

Veeam Upgrade issue.

I recently updated a client from Veeam 11, I think .816 to the latest version available. Everything went as usual as I do these quite often but this one is throwing a pop up that states, "unable to upgrade plug-ins under the current user, please open the console under an account with administrative privilege's:" when I launch Veeam. I am logged in as a local administrator account and have updated this client in the past with no issues.I just click on okay and it opens up like normal. I also checked for any updates to the managed machine and there is upgrade option. This is a stand alone Veeam system with no remote components.I don't think it's going to impact the functionality but will know more after tonight's job run.Appreciate any feedback!Thanks,Poettone!

Ever wanted a Write-Once SSD? It’s now here, sort of…

Evening, Wanted to share this interesting intersection of marketing & technology, the write-once SSD. Correct this isn’t April Fools… Verbatim have announced a write-once SSD. Theres a 10 year warranty against drive failure, it uses an exFAT file system and can be read by any OS supporting exFAT, but you require Win 10/11 and .Net 4.8 to install the proprietary software to write to the drive. Somewhat unsurprisingly, there are huge caveats listed, effectively it’s not tested to destruction against experienced hackers, but a handy way to prevent accidental file deletion. I wonder if we’ll start to see a market for this emerge…Interested in the full story? I read it on Tom’s Hardware here: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/verbatim-write-once-ssd
