Backup SAP HANA with backint is very slow

Hey community, I want to use VBR 11a and VeeamPluginforSAPHANA to backup my SAP HANA database.Howerver, the test result is not ideal, Processing rate is only 1M/s.In my environment, the bandwidth between the VBR server and the HANA server is 10Gbps, and I have tested it with iperf3, everything is OK. and when I use VBR to backup VMs and NAS, everything is OK too. I also tried to set up different repositories using SapBackintConfigTool, but it doesn't work.What could be the reason? tks.

Official support for vSphere 7.0 U3 is here

Anton Gostev has just announced the official support for vSphere 7.0 U3 in his weekly R&D Forums Digest. The only requirement is to run the latest VBR release v11a. And don't forget to update to 7.0 U3a because of the bug with thin-provisioned disks (link at the bottom).Onto the Veeam news next! Our QC has just completed the full testing cycle of VMware vSphere 7.0 Update 3 and we're now ready to declare its official support with the current version of Veeam Backup & Replication 11a. However, be aware that the original U3 build has a regression which can consistently cause PSOD on multiple hosts in cluster. This issue really plagued one of our labs to the point where we had to stop using it for testing completely. Luckily, right when we finally finished our testing on Friday, VMware dropped the new Update 3a build which supposedly addresses this issue. So be sure to download and use this newer vSphere build instead of the original one! As someone just told me, it always pays to

Veeam Backup - Infected Source/VM

If the source VMs have virus/infected, technically Veeam can backup that but can Veeam knows that the source is infected with virus/ransomware?

Free Nutanix NCA/NCP certification this weekend

I've just discovered this tweet from Nutanix. As we also have community members who work with Nutanix I thought it was worth to be shared here.  So if you were targeting for a Nutanix certification, then why not write it this weekend.

Linux hardened repository - follow up and next steps

Following on from the excellent advice on what kind of storage server (and direct attached storage within) to use for a hardened Linux repository, may I push my luck to ask for some more advise or where to go next. Presuming I can get my hands on a suitable storage server and storage (as recommended) could anyone shed some light on how we’d need to set this up so that Veeam is able to back up the data on our Infortrend SAN. Here’s some further details of our config.We have a Windows server in our (remote) data centre that is running Veeam B&R v11. It is currently just making some physical backups of critical Windows and Linux hosts. These hosts are physically located in our office and there is a decent enough secure connection to make these backups over the line to the Veeam server in the data centre.However, I want to expand our use of Veeam to make regular backups of the TB’s of data on our Infortrend SAN which is also based in our office and this is where my lack of experience/k

HPE StoreOnce backup copy jobs fails with file session error

Hi, We have a lot of backup copy jobs (but far from all) that fails with the error “Failed to dispatch repository file session resource requst. Requested amount of file session (193) is greater than the maximum amount available (192).According to HPE Veeam should know that this StoreOnce has a internal limit of 192 datastreams and should not try to open number 193.  Anyone with a idea of how to fix this?

veeam replication from Prod to Dr

We have provisioned VBR in production, tecnically with compute and storage. Can we replicate the recovery points from prod VBR to VBR dr? In dr, we will provion as well VBR dr resources.  upon checking with veeam, they can replicate in the dr but the source is the vcenter prod as well, meaning 1vbr is enough as long as they vcenter in dr. Thanks

[Heads up] Do not update to vSphere 7 U3 when running thin-provisioned VMDKs

A bad bug was found in VMware vSphere 7 U3. A ESXi host may crashes with a PSOD when running thin-provisioned VMDKs. Currently there is not solution available. There are a few workarounds but no easy ones:Downgrade to older version, Convert all VMs (VMDKs) to Thick-provisioned, Disable TRIM/UNMAP in Guest OS.For more information see official VMware KB: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/86100@jorge.delacruz  already posed about the issue: https://jorgedelacruz.uk/2021/10/22/vmware-psod-after-updating-to-vsphere-esxi-7-0-update-3-panic-requested-by-another-pcpu-thin-provisioned-vms/Maybe good news: U3a is already announced: https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2021/10/vsphere-update-3a.html

Fun Friday: What's the one thing you see in deployments that you just can't stand?

Hey everyone! Happy Friday! Today I’d like to create a safe space for people to vent, and maybe learn! What’s that one thing you see in your Veeam deployments that you just love to hate? As it’s Cyber Security Awareness Month, mine is definitely Cyber Security themed:For me, it has to be passwords that are so weak, it was barely worth using them! I’m talking the typical dictionary attacks, variations on the word “Password” or “Admin” etc. Fun Side Story:I once worked with a company that decided to have their RDS server pointing out to the internet ( ), they had a domain admin leave and instead of disabling the account, they reset the password to check over the account! And what did they set this key account’s password to? “Password1”. They got ransomware’d in under 20 minutes. Thankfully they had Veeam.

Backup logic/functionality question

If I were to create a new copyjob to replace an old one, and I want it to only move over the very latest restore point and none of the previous restore points that are currently in the repository; can this be accomplished by taking a new active full on the source jobs and then running a sync now on the new copyjob and telling it copy over the latest? If not, can this only be accomplished by wiping out all current local and cloud and starting from scratch?

Different Veeam instance/server connecting to 1vmware vcsa

We have VMware private cloud, consists of different VMs for different customers, technically is has 1 center. We have a separate infra of backup, with them as a backup solution, different Veeam instances as well for different customers,Now we have ongoing project for backup and provisioned veeam instance1  we will connect to the vcenter of our vmware private cloud and assuming it will be successful, moving forward for veeam instance2 3,4, and so on and we will use as well the existing vcenter for different instances. Is there any problem or error since Veeam instance1 already connected to the existing center? Then definitely we will connect other Veeam instances2, 3,4… Thanks
