Copyjob Best Practices: what are yours?

Hi, all I am wanting to get some insight and pick you all’s brains on your best practices when it comes to copyjobs. Here’s the situation I am in:I have backups servers that have fairly complex backups schedules that range from hourly backups to daily, and even weekly backups. Lately I have been running into copyjob failures that say “the restore point is locked by another job”. This is happening when primary backup file healthchecks, merges, or defrags run. I created a topic about this, last week, and @Chris.Childerhose gave me some good insight. I guess I am at take 2, at this point, and I need you all’s input. The problem is, I have no idea how to schedule the copyjobs around these schedules...there just really isn’t a way, and consequently, i don’t know of a way to avoid these failures. They used to not happen. It’s only been recently that they have started cropping up. I am also working with support on this, but I would love you all’s input and get some insight into how you all ta

IBM announces three LTO-9 Tape Drives

IBM has announced three LTO-9 tape drives for usage in tape library TS4500. The drives are available from September 10th 2021 IBM LTO-9 models F9C, F9S, and S9C are designed for the heavy demands of backup and archive tape storage, and can help improve data center economics. The number of tape drives, cartridges, and associated floor space may be reduced with LTO-9 models, delivering higher performance and greater capacity as compared to IBM LTO-8 tape drive models.IBM LTO-9 features help improve performance and reliability:Native data transfer rate of up to 400 MBps for full-height (FH) tape drives LTO Generation 9 media specification tape cartridge compressed capacity of up to 45 TB (18 TB native) 8 Gbps Fibre Channel dual-ported drive attachment on models F9C and F9S 12 Gbps dual-ported SAS attachment on model S9C A 1 GB internal buffer Support for media partitioning and self-describing tape with IBM Spectrum Archive Enterprise Edition LTO-9 encryption support Open Recommended Acces

VCC Restore process from archive storage is concerning

We have been using VCC for two years. We keep a couple of months on performance storage and use GFS to move data to the archive storage.  The provider uses Wasabi for archive storage (news to us). We have never had the need to restore from archive until this week. After trying for two days the provider (a Veeam Platinum provider) has told us they must move the entire archive (app 160 TB , copy jobs from ten office locations) to their local repo, have us restore, and then move it back. Honestly the process is very concerning and we were never told of this.My question is has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal? Is the move of data down and back up to archive reliable (since we can’t test restores once its back there)?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated since I am very concerned about the integrity of our firms cloud backups.Also has anyone moved providers? Is there a migration process or similar? Charlie

Copyjob failing due to running backup

Hi, team I have a weird one for you. Have you ever seen a copyjob fail due to a normal backup running at the same time? I have been running into an issue where a copyjob is running and then a scheduled backup starts while the copyjob is running. When this happens, the copyjob will fail and throw the error: ”Source restore point is locked by another job ” My understanding is that this should not happen. I did notice that the last time it happened, there was an incremental to full backup file merge happening. I am not sure if that may be the cause in this case, but I do not believe that is always what’s happening when I see this error. The copyjob is set to Immediate with a 24x7 schedule. This server is running VBR v.11

Option to rescan repositories has disappeared

Script to perform Failover and undo failover using Veeam replica

We wish to run the replica on a different IP periodically to extract data from the VM.  Hence time and again I perform failover to replica using the RE IP options within Veeam and then undo the failover. Just checking if anyone has anyone automated failover and undo failover for a Veeam replica using Powershell.

Fun Friday: What’s the longest time you’ve seen a snapshot/checkpoint in-use for?

Happy Friday! We know snapshots/checkpoints aren’t backups, but sometimes people don’t know this, and other times people forget to tidy up their snapshots. (Even worse when they don’t have Veeam ONE notifying them of this). So the question today is, what’s the longest time you’ve seen a snapshot/checkpoint in use? I’ve seen one customer environment whereby all VMs have multiple snapshots going back as far as 6 years, and counting! They’re engaged with VMware support due to the chain age and depth but they also can’t just take a backup and clear them down due to the lack of performance from the system now as a result!

Update attatched object storage

Hi, is there a smart way to update attached s3 object storages. Not used in sobr(!). I am useing capa offloading to s3 on aws. in our Prodution environment (B&R Local). Thats working fine. I also attached the s3 on another Veeam B&R in VMC on AWS. I can see all backups once I attached the object storage in the repository view. Thats fine. I can do restores direct from s3 in vmc on aws. thats fine too. But ...I only do backup and offloading from B&R Local. Veeam B&R in VMC on AWS is only for restore purposes in our desaster environment. Unforunatly the attached s3 will not be update once B&R Local completet a new backup an offload. I can not rescan the object storage repository. The only way is to detach and do an import again. Thats working, its ok, but a more smart way to do a rescan during attatched s3 would be great. Thank you.

VSS Error with File to Tape Backup "Shadow copy provider vetoed the operation"

Hello community,I have an issue with a file to tape backup in combination with the usage of VSS.I have to copy the files of the RMAN Backups to tape. The backup files of the RMAN and SAP plugins are not recognized as backup Jobs with the tape jobs, so I have to copy them as files and not as jobs.The RMAN backups are running 24/7 - so there are some open files every time the copy job runs. And therefore I have activated the usage of VSS in the file to tape backup job.Every time the job runs an VSS error is given - "Shadow copy provider vetoed the operation"I did not find useful information to this error.Does anyone have some idea why VSS is not working properly? A reboot did not help. On the drive is enough free space (around 62,5 TB free of 105 TB total).

Can we get a Raspbian 64-bit Backup Client?

I added a Raspberry Pi to my test lab.   I just installed their new Raspberry Pi 64-bit OS released in May 2021.    I love VEEAM Community Backup.   I can’t install the Linux client on the Raspberry Pi OS.   It would be great, if they made a client for them.   Many corporations are developing IoT devices based on the Pi.   Here is a picture of my Pi / Arduino test lab.   My website is https://mc.scsiraidguru.com/ I wished they had a $99 Pro version that home users could buy with no limitations.   I could get many users to buy it.

How to archive in tapes the Veeam Office 365 repository

Hello, I understand that there are no a tape backup option directly in VOB, however we can use VBR, so I would like to know what is the “best practice” to archive every year in tapes.Our initial full backup took 7TB, then, because we configured 7 years of retention, we’ll keep all the messages and we’ll have around 7TB more per year, so how we can manage that in tapes if we don’t want to buy more disk? Thanks in advance, Omar De Souza.

Veeam on VMware Cloud on AWS -> vCenter / Host Permissions

Hi,I have problems, restoreing VMs from s3 to vmware cloud on aws. I get a permission denied error.s3 and vCenter is added probably in veeam b&r thats insalled on VMC too. I can see my backups in Veeam B&R in VMware Cloud on AWS. I also can see the virtual machines in VMware Cloud on AWS. But I cannot give crendentials to the vSphere hosts, because it is not allowed in VMC. I guess that is the reason for my problem? What can I do, to use Veeam in VMC to backup and restore my VMs?

Questions on veeam backup with nutanix & veeam repository

Hey guys, I have two questions For veeam backup for nutanix, after I install a nutanix plugin on VBR will veeam setup a nutanix proxy VM or should we setup the proxy VM in the nutanix cluster? If VBR backups to a repository, later VBR crashes and I deploy another VBR and add the repository which has the backups stored, will this new VBR able to access or see the backups stored?
