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!!

Veeam Agent Backup Fails and computer freezes

Hello friends,Currently running veeam agent v6.1.2.134 on a Win 11 machine.Have a full back up running every 3 months with incremental backups about every two days. Backups run to a network share hosted on a centos box.My issue: about every 5 days the back up fails and my computer freezes. It won’t kick the monitor, keyboard or mouse back on and I end up having to restart the computer by holding down the power button. I’m pretty sure it’s Veeam because it wasn’t happening before veeam and every time this happens veeam’s backup has failed. The backups will run fine the other times. There is no rhyme or day pattern I can tell of this happening since it’s every 5 days that it happens. So the last 3 failures occured on Fri 6/7; Wed 6/12; Mon 6/17. In between those I have successful backups and the 6/19 backup last night ran fine.Any thoughts? I’m a bit stumped. Happy to share the log file.

Kasten - exclude a directory in a PVC

Hello,We have an on-prem Rancher RKE2, and we have backups setup of k8s applications via Kasten.Question I have is: -  Is there a way we can exclude a directory from backups? The directory is inside a PVC of the application. This directory is a cache of files in S3 bucket so it does not need backup (as per application owner).I have not had to do this yet so any guidance will be awesome.Thank you,

Linux File Restore Frustration

I hate asking newbie questions, but I’ve been through the docs more time than I care, but cannot find a simple explanation of what is actually required to perform a simple file restore.Backups are VMware based. On B&R 12.3.  I can initiate the restore process, but it hangs(timesout) when I hit the “Browse” button.  I do see the B&R server connecting to the linux server with SSH. And in the process, creates some files/folders in /tmp.  But does not appear to put anything in /var/logSame issue whether I try and restore to the same, or original server.What are the requirements for a Linux system, to be able to do a file-level restore? What does it need to connect to, what needs to connect to it.Does it, or does it not need the Linux Agent?  One of the Linux systems I tried to restore to actually has the agent.  But most of our Linux systems do not.Would be nice to find a doc that laid this all out.  But if there is I have not found it yet, or missed something.I get that Veeam want

Multiple Tape Servers Managing Single Multi-Drive Library

Anyone have a need for this:Currently customers have 2 options when connecting a Tape Server to a Tape Library1: Physical Tape Server: attached to the Library/FC2: Multiple Virtual Tape Servers: partitioning the tape library so each Tape Server (VM) will see only select drives, and slots.Either way would maximize the throughput of data transference. Currently having 1 VM as Tape Server does not maximize the libraries efficiency throughput.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110You can add multiple tape servers to the same installation of Veeam Backup & Replication. But mind that you cannot add one tape library to two different tape servers and write data to it from both tape servers.Would this work:  Ability to have multiple tape servers within single VBR see and manage same multi-drive tape libraryTo optimize the use of libraries and drives, it should be supported between multiple Tape Servers within a single VBR.

Veeam SOBR and S3 endpoint in AWS

TeamNeed your advice and support on below topicWe are using AWS S3 for cloud backups, with the on-premises performance tier, the cloud capacity tier set to S3 Standard class, and the archive tier set to Glacier.The data transfer from on-premises to the cloud uses Direct Connect and the S3 private endpoint, which works perfectly fine.The issue is when data moves from the capacity tier to the archive tier. This process is handled by a helper appliance, which uses the S3 private endpoint for transferring data from capacity to archive tiers and for deleting data from the archive tier. These activities generate significant data transfer costs.If the helper appliance uses the S3 gateway endpoint instead, it would be free as per AWS. We need your assistance how to instruct the helper appliance to use the S3 gateway endpoint instead of the S3 private endpoint.

Veeam Book - Fourth Edition - Technical Reviewers Needed

As many of you know I have written three books on Veeam starting at v10 and the last one being v12.  I am working on the outline for a fourth book that will use 12.3 and focus more on the security aspects and enhancements to Veeam.Once the outline is complete (working on this over the holiday break) they will ask me about technical reviewers so I wanted to solicite the community to see if anyone is interested.  I have had people like Rick Vanover, Matt Crape and Craig Dalrymple be technical reviewers and be recognized in the beginning of the books.If there is anyone out there interested in this contact me by DM and we can chat.  I just need name and email address to give to the publishing company when the time comes.  I appreciate any that volunteer as it is a bit of work to do and there will be deadline dates to meet.If there are any questions please post them here so I can answer for all to see that might be considering this.Appreciate this wonderful community as always.

Agent Backup of HyperV

I’m a newb Veeam user.I have a WS2022 server with Hyper-V installed on new server.  A vendors app would not function properly on a guest due to USB Pass-through.  In order to get the application working we left HV installed on the server and installed the application on the HV server itself, IE: BareMetal App server.I have an upcoming project which will hopefully get the application migrated to a guest.  In the mean time, it would be nice to backup the Server. I have a guest on server (TEST), and Veeam guest backup works fine.I try to run an agent based backup job, to copy the entire server:I get this error on my Veeam Server:  12/18/2024 2:25:04 PM :: Processing Hyperv.XXX.com Error: Failed to connect to Hyperv.XXX.com:11731Will the Agent work properly if I uninstall HV?  What do I need to do so that it will work?

Veeam Agent fails to install on Hyper-V Server

Hello,I’d like to evaluate Veeam’s backup solutions. I’m trying to install Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows on a Hyper-V Server 2019 OS, but any attempts ends with a failure. Checking the installation logs reveals the error message "System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Fatal error during installation". This instance of Hyper-V Server has no additional software installed, including anything related to SQL Server (which seems to be the cause of this issue, as I found out from other topics about this error code).Is there perhaps a component that’s missing on Hyper-V Server that’s required for Veeam Agent to work?

TOTAL DISASTER

Hi Community We woke up one day to a dead HDD. We are replacing the entire server, as the server is or was over 12 years old. New DELL Server coming in, which will be the host, and internal SSD drives now. It will have ESXi 8 on it. My question is. We had 2 servers (virtual machines) on the old server, both using Veeam Agent 6.0.2 shooting images to Wasabi, and incremental, with periodic full images on the weekends. This has worked for us for years, starting from Version 4 until today, we upgraded versions along the way. But never been in this situation. Being that the Windows Agent was directly installed on the machines that were affected, and now dead, and being that Wasabi has all our data, does anyone have a suggestion how to download those images or I should say, restore the vm’s to the new host? We have a few ideas, but with Veeam, making one wrong move can take hours and hours as you have to wait before it fails, where you think its potentially working. We’re pretty stuck and in

Veeam Backup for AWS Worker Instances in Production account accessing S3 bucket in Backup account

Hi everyone,How does a worker instance deployed in a “production account” access a S3 bucket repository in the “backup account” if there is no S3 bucket policy, cross-account IAM roles, etc. in place? Not sure if this is relevant but I’ve shared a VPC subnet between the production and backup accounts for the worker instances to use. I’m using the Veeam provided IAM roles for the backup appliance (vaws1-VeeamImpersonationRoleV1-XXXXXXXXX) and worker instances (VeeamInstanceBackupRestoreAccessRoleV1-XXXXXXXXX). What am I missing here? Thanks!Steve
