Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager do you implement it everytime ?

Hey guys a new question for you !Do you implement Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager in your installation ? VEM is usefull to manage jobs across multiple Veeam backups servers, centrally manage licences or delegate restoration operations through backup portal.But in a small infrastructure I have doubts about its usefulness, it will install additional components like IIS which are potentially vulnerable.In Security Analyzer there is a checkbox "Password loss protection must be enabled", which means that VEM must be installed, but to be honest I never used this feature except one time since I use Veeam.

Restore individual files returns the last version of the file

I’m running Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 6.0.2.1090 - Free Edition on my Windows 11 PC and I’ve never come across this issue so far:Open Control Panel Run restore Individual Files Select a backup date browse the backup and select a specific file the file is shown in its current state, not in the state at the time when the backup was run. Even non-existing files at backup time, created after the backup was taken, are shown in the backup treeIs it a bug? Am I supposed to set some configuration parameter?I used to navigate the backup tree and select individual files to restore specific files in their state at the time the backup was run.Thank you in advance  Vieri

Direct to Object Backup with archive tier without capacity tier

In a SOBR (Scale-Out Backup Repository) if my performance tier is already a object storage (direct to object) is it possible to run a archive job to offload data to archive tier without a capacity tier? Or i would need first to offload to capacity then archive?

Veeam with Nutanix that has two nodes issue

We have Veeam pushing a couple of Nutanix clusters.  Jobs are split between the clusters and Nutanix is replicating between the two clusters so if one goes down…Issue that we’re seeing is when Veeam is backing up a server, snaps are being created to do the backup. Replication between the two Nutanix clusters is seeing the snap and replicating it to the second node.  Since the snap doesn’t have a retention set, Nutanix is setting the snaps for 60 day retention.  When we’re starting to deal with file servers north of 20tb, this becomes and issue.  Is there anyway to force Veeam to set a short retention on snaps or is this something Nutanix should address?Thanks in advance.

Cyber Resilience for the Modern Data Center

My new technical paper “Cyber Resilience for the Modern Data Center” will available on Dell Education Website this Friday. You can download it for reference.https://education.dell.com/content/emc/en-us/home/certification-overview/knowledge-sharing.htmlThis technical paper provides information on multi-tier Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR). We will consider how to plan and design the cyber-resilient architecture for data recovery across three separate locations; will discuss the high-level and low-level design of this data recovery solution. This cyber-resilient architecture includes software-defined storage (SDS), unified backup and recovery software and backup hardware appliance. Veeam Data Platform is one of core components in this solution. Please stay tuned.

failover query

Hey guys, this is query related to failover plan. Is failover plan dependent on replication job? When u select failover plan, u can select from replicas or infrastructure. From infrastructure option, can we select the VMs which are not replicated?

New feature for restores

We currently have a situation where we need to copy backed up files on a different subnet from the Veeam server.The backup files are on the proxy server in a different subnet and I need to copy them to a different server on the same subnet.  Veeam is across a VPN so copying 1 TB of files from Veeam across the VPN would take too long.When I mount the files to restore it would be great if they were available in the VeeamFLR folder on the proxy server.   Then I could copy them directly on the same subnet.  Right now the files to restore are only available on the Veeam server.As a workaround I’m going to install Veeam on the Proxy server so I can access the backed up files without using the VPN.

Playing around with TIERS from a SOBR

Hi all,Anybody faced issues with the usage of certain TIERs from a SOBR on another VBR server ? Here’s what we want to achieve:Customer is upgrading to brand new VBR server (new hardware)Together with this shift, he want’s to move from S3 provider.All configured well, but what with the existing SOBR were we only want to keep the archive tier. Both Capacity and Archive tier are S3 compatible repo’s (encrypted). We just want to break up the SOBR and mount the S3 Archive tier to the new VBR and perfrom a rescan. All backup points should then be visible as ‘imported’ backups.This gives the customer the opportunity to keep the possibility to restore from his previous archive tier when necessary and get rid of the costly capacity tier. Any things we should keep in mind ? I guess a rescan of the repo will populate the internal DB with the necessary info to perform restores via the new VBR.

VMworld thoughts, what are you excited about?

Now that we have 2 of the 3 days of VMworld out of the way who’s been following along? What’s new that you see as interesting?Personally the whole project where the management layer of vSphere is containerized I think is both interesting and is going to create some challenges in the near future for those of us thinking about BCDR. That itself lends itself to the idea of the other project where your vSphere management is now done as a Service.From the Veeam perspective I keep thinking about the idea of having physical repositories that I use the project Monterrey smart NICs with to fold them into the NSX overlay to really nail down the connectivity with.

VMDK Parallel processing

Can someone help me with info on how Veeam processes parallel VMDK’s? Does it uses VDDK Libraries or bypasses VDDK and uses its own libraries?  I have seen few backup solutions still struggling to achieve this parallel processing.

Veeam Backup for Azure - Azure Files scheduling no yearly retention option

Hi All,Why does Veeam Backup for Azure (Azure Files) have no scheduling option for yearly retention?Is this in some way related to the Azure only allowing up to 200 snapshots on Azure Files? In which case would a feature like we have with VM snapshots being used to create a more traditional backup be worth thinking about if you require longer term archiving? Cheers,
