ESXi VMs not recognized in Veeam after async DR failback

Hello Everyone,Someone asked this question in Nutanix Forum:“We are running asynchronous Protection Domains and also employee Veeam backups of VMs. If we failover to the secondary site and then failback to the primary site, Veeam no longer recognizes the VMs in previously created backup jobs. We have to delete all the old backup jobs and set them up again. This is with ESXi hosts. Is that normal?”Didi anyone face this issue before and how to fix it?

Veeam proxy network for vSAN backups

We have a vSAN cluster where the vSAN network is physically separated on different network switches from the management and other VM networks. When configuring Veeam backup proxy for VM backups on vSAN, what interfaces or connectivity is required? What traffic flows over which interface? Is the below understanding correct or we need only one interface on the backup proxy connecting to the ESXi mgmt network? ESXi: vmnic0 - esxi mgmt  (connected to a pairA of network switches)vmnic1 - vsan (connected to pairB of network switches) NIC0 - connectivity to ESXi Mgmt (Connects to ESXi/vCenter for VM and esxi details, mouting the backup VM disk to the proxy VM)NIC1 - connectivity to the vSAN inetwork (data of the VM is fetched through this interface) Thanks,Sudhir

SQL Database export -Question on how it process

Regarding the SQL database export, using SQL staging server, it appears that the export was executed from the existing production instance rather than from the Veeam backup storage media. This suggests that a direct export from the Veeam backup storage is not possible, which is what I wanted to verify.As a result, Veeam management tools will be required to restore the SQL database and its transaction logs to a specific point in time using the Veeam backup storage media.Is my understanding correct?

Backup Job - Statistics

Hello, I wanted to be sure that fast clone is enabled but I can’t see it anywhere.As I remember on v11 it was written in the “Action” description.I’m using Synology NAS connected directly via iSCSI to the Windows Server 2022.It’s formatted as ReFS (64KB).You can see that it was a Synthetic Full but FastClone nowhere to be seen.

Veeaon One Report to show Number of VM Disks Processed

Morning All. We are in the process of adjusting Proxy resources as we go live with our Veeam implementation. What would be really helpful would be to see the number of disks a job processed. I just can’t find the report in Veeam One. Anyone know of such a report or better still where this info is ?ThanksPhil

Veeam Calculators

Are there any other advanced backup storage calculators kind of like the one Veeam has?Calculator - VM (veeam.com)I’m trying to get a good estimation of storage needs. Don’t get me wrong, you can probably never have enough storage 😂 but with that comes budget. The one from Veeam I’m using total amount of space taken by current VMs in the datacenter. It doesn’t take into account growth (additional VMs) or reduction (consolidation/removal of VMs). Our SAN is right around 90TB but remote datacenters have local stroages for VMs at about 3TB and 1.5TB respectively.  Do I size based off SAN/local array storage?

[Link] Reading Recommendation: Backup Myths

I want to share a blog post by John Nicholson (VMware - not the guy from Shining !) which is about VMware Backup Myths. If you are in a backup related job, it could be funny to read. I did not know some of them!https://thenicholson.com/backup-myths/My favorites are:Virtual machine backups are not useful for file, or app level recovery. Agent-based backups are “lighter-weight” than hypervisor-assisted backups. Network based backups will bottleneck on the vCenter. Snapshots Suck. Here you have to read details in post! Enjoy reading!

Adding new proxy or Repo from adding proxy or repo wizard

Hello everyone,I faced a weird issue, I am not sure it’s normal or not, however it wasn’t like that before. The issue is when adding Proxy or Repo by clicking “Add New” it doesn’t work and show errors in the installation, however when add the machine in advance from adding servers, then add it as Proxy or Repo from the existing servers, it works. Please advise.

Drive for Office365 Backups

We’re using Veeam as a backup to Office365.  Our old-school owner wants to backup on-prem and periodically take a snapshot of the DB and bring it home.  We also are a small shop and don’t have a dedicated NAS.  What we do have is a compact i7 with plenty of RAM and a USB 3.0 port.We put a 1T PNY flash drive on it and it worked for about a month.  Then we started getting JetDB errors.  We put in a ticket and have been going back-and-forth with support (they have been responding nicely and it’s appreciated.)We’ve tried several solutions, seemed to be making progress but after the last iteration, they think it’s the drive.  I asked for a recommendation for a good set of specs but they couldn’t give me one.Is anyone out there using a Flash drive as their primary repo store?  If so, can you tell me what brand/model you’re using? Thanks in advance!  Scott.

Issues replying to topics in the Community Hub

Curious if anyone else is running into issues when replying in the hub.  I tend to get a lot of emails to catch up on topics and open tabs for them and then come back.  However, there’s a been a lot lately where I open a tab, come back to it 15-30 minutes later, reply, but when I go to post my reply I get the below error.  Usually refreshing the tab and then posting works, but in the meantime, I’ve lost what I typed.  Curious if anyone else has been running into this issue as of late.  Seems like the past week or so I’ve been having this issue.
