Yes, as the title says, I failed the VMCE exam this morning.69% out of 70% to pass.I want to share my mistakes so whoever reads this post will be able to do better:If you're a Windows sysadmin like me, don't leave anything related to the Linux world behind. Almost 1/3 of my questions were about Linux. So, it's really really important to have a complete knowledge at 360°.Memorize various options in menus, where it says and what it says.Don't just focus on Veeam Backup and Replication, look at all our other products as well.Very important are @haslund videos: not to get the answer, but how to get the anwser. He does a great job to explains how to reason to solve questions.YT links: https://www.youtube.com/@RasmusHaslund/playlists Community links: https://community.veeam.com/search/activity/topics?userid=80Again, @haslund he's the man.You can even find three exam preps he prepared to help you “simulate” real exam (with obviously different questions).https://rasmushaslund.com/vmce-practice

In an agent job for a WSFC (fileserver role) we see a warning after having switched over to the secondary node. Each job run now finishes with a warning that CBT table has changed.As with VM backups I expected the warning to disappear in the next cycle - but it didn’t. How can I reset the CBT for an agent backup (not hypervisor based CBT but Veeam CBT driver here)?

Hi, since an unattend shutdown of our server, our B&R can't established connection to our (only) linux vm.Of course this stuff worked before.When i tried to connect through ssh for the first time after the shutdown, it says that fingerprint key of the host changed. I bassicaly remove the old fingerprint in my local known-hosts file.- I checked sshd logs in the timeframe i tried to login through B&R console and this shows :sshd[10137]: Unable to negotiate with 192.168.0.216 port 52062: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 [preauth]sshd[10139]: Unable to negotiate with 192.168.0.216 port 52063: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss [preauth]- I tried to allow diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 and ssh-rsa in ssh_config file of my server. But it doesn't change anything. ❌- I tried with different user, it doesn't change anything. ❌- I reinstall ssh-server, it doesn't change anything. ❌- On B&R console i removed and add h

need to activate the SureBackup feature on Acropolis AHV from Nutanix.

Dear Community,I’m running Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition 9.5 and replicating offsite to a Cloud vendor. I upgraded it to Version 12 to get bug & security fixed. Upon reaching version 12 I came to know that the Cloud vendor does not support version 12, they only support 11a.Now the I have tried to downgrade it to 11a but the Database is locked to Version 12 and is not usable.I’m looking to rebuild on Version 11a and archiving backups. is this possible? Below are some queries and answers you might want to read. What is the exact upgrade and downgrade versions?                Upgrade (Current) Version: Veeam Backup & Replication 12 (12.0.0.1420 P20230223)                Downgrade Version: Veeam Backup & Replication 11a (11.0.1.1261 P20230227)•  What Veaam components are being used?                Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition package•  OS details on which Veaam is installed.                Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard•  SQL/ D

If someone has been doing image based backups of 100+ workstations in Acronis, but is interested in moving to a VBR environment, how do we accommodate that scale of workstation backups? The only thing I know to do is throw the Windows agent on them and create an agent backup within VBR, but I am curious if there is a better solution.

Are there any updates on Veeam releasing a DR orchestration solution for hyper-v? Surprising that it’s been requested multiple times, but haven't released anything yet for one of the most used hypervisor technologies.   

I recently updated a client from Veeam 11, I think .816 to the latest version available. Everything went as usual as I do these quite often but this one is throwing a pop up that states, "unable to upgrade plug-ins under the current user, please open the console under an account with administrative privilege's:" when I launch Veeam. I am logged in as a local administrator account and have updated this client in the past with no issues.I just click on okay and it opens up like normal. I also checked for any updates to the managed machine and there is upgrade option. This is a stand alone Veeam system with no remote components.I don't think it's going to impact the functionality but will know more after tonight's job run.Appreciate any feedback!Thanks,Poettone!

Hi, we have a strange issue where if we boot to VEEAM recovery media created in server 2016 or Server 2019 we can see the recovery EXT HDD but it shows as needing to be formatted and unreadable, we are currently using Western Digital My Passports formatted with REFS. Thanks in advance

Hi everyoneWe did install in our test environment Veeam VBR V12I want to test the gMSA.Installed as subscribed inhttps://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/using_gmsa.html?ver=120Is it possible to run the Veeam Service with gMSA and so yes on which services I should run it on.Currently the Veeam services on this test VBR are running with the local system account.I have on a production VBR the services running with a service account worked fine but after the last crittical update I had to change the Veeam NFS service to local system as It did make my SureBackup during the mounting phase.Looking forward to your comments!

Hi, we have customer with VMware infra in Production and using Nutanix AHV in DR. They want to replicate from VMware to Nutanix and failback if needed? Is that possible or what will be the work around using veeam?

Hello,I have upgraded "Veeam Backup and Replication Community Edition" from v11 to v12 and "Veeam Agent for Linux" from v5 to version v6.0.0.1060.Since then, I receive no more Backup Status mails from any Agent running v6.The only status mails I receive, ist for a Windows client with Agent version v5.0.3.4708.I have already checked the notification settings on the "VBR" several times. Various test mails are delivered successfully.Does anyone have similar problems after the upgrade, or a solution?I would be very grateful for any feedback

Hi, i need and advice on how to configure Veeam v12 where i would like to setup immutable repository where i would put the last 7 backups and in the same time have that same backup copied on DellEMC DataDomain were i have GFS with for example 7 daily / 4 weekly / 3 monthly. I know that with SOBR i can make performance (immutable) and DD (capacity tier), but will it delete/move the data from immutable repo.

I ran several V12 updates through our Service Provider Console and just wanted to make sure that anyone else running these upgrades watches for this issue as well.  The issue being, when you push the update and it updates successfully, check the results to make sure that it reenabled all backup and copy jobs at the end.  I had a handfull of upgrades where it stated the upgrade was successful, but in checking the logs, the update didn’t reenable a couple of jobs at the end.  It seemed to me mostly copy jobs, but I had at least one or two backup jobs as well.  ​​​​Veeam Service Provider Console log results for upgrading a VBR server to v12 that indicated success in the upgrade but failed to reenable jobs afterwords. One other thing to look out for is that when you update, make sure that the client isn’t copying data to a VCC provider that isn’t yet on v12 (looking at you 11:11 Systems/Iland).  In that case, copy jobs will now be broken and won’t run until the provider has updated their e

Hi guys, It is (again) that time of the year: 31/03/2023 is world backup day.What is “hot” nowadays: AI. Join me in the challenge and come up with some Veeam Action Figures.https://www.linkedin.com/posts/stijn-marivoet-3695a48_veeam-backup-worldbackupday-activity-7047497640883691520-c8qa?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop   

What do you guys do in your VMware environments for VMs using CDP or replicas? Once I have a bunch of snapshots at the DR site vCenter likes to give nice little red alerts. Other monitoring systems tend to remind you that there are too many snapshots too. I found the easiest way is to disable that alert at the DR site, but I have to be manually monitoring my environment to make sure an unwanted snapshot doesn’t get left behind somewhere.

Folks, Please don’t post brain dumps. You are not only cheating the system but also yourselves. I have had to deal with paper cert folks and believe me they don’t last long. The exam and the piece of paper are not the point. It is the process and the knowledge that is what you want. At 1 am when sitting there clueless on a severity 1 call your brain dumps will be of no use. cheers

What does " Warning: Task was not processed in the current session " mean? I receive the warning after it tries to run a backup copy job.  Any advice on what this means, why this happened, or how to solve the issue?I get the same message after running a new sync after about 10 minutes. Job will finish with warnings, with no successes. 

Trying to migrate Enterprise Manager to a new Server. I stopped the Veeam services on the old server and disconnected it from the network. I installed the EM on the new server and pointed it to an old DB that was used by the old server. There was a dialogue window confirming that the DB was owned by the old EM server and that it would be transferred to the new EM server.What happened next is that the the service account was getting locked out. So I had to roll back the changes. Good thing, I did not uninstall the EM from the old server per the instruction on https://www.veeam.com/kb1889 . Curious what happened here.

Hi All, I have recurring intermittent issues with restoring VMs. Host machine is Windows 2016 Hyper-VWith VMs ranging from Windows 2012 r2 to 2016 server.I am not getting any errors reported in the backup or restore process, but what i find is on starting up the VM a database might be corrupted. This can range from NTDS, DHCP, or single exchange databases.I have noticed that if i do a restore of just the disk file, instead of a full VM restore that the VM will then work fine.Backups are made to a set of rotated USB hard drives, however, issues still occur when the files are copied to a local hard drive.We were running an old version of 9.5 but have since tried community editions of 11 and 12.Anyone have any thoughts? Im guessing it might have something to do with replaying transaction logs?

Likely a noob question, but just want to be sure things aren’t broken.I’ve got a setup with Veeam B&R Community Edition on a single windows machine. I have full backups scheduled weekly, and daily backups every day, to a Quantum LTO-7 drive, using LTO-6 media.The console reports the total capacity of the tapes as 2.1TB. Allowing for the whole base 10 / base 2 argument, this is what I’d expect. The full backup (done last night) reports total transferred is around 1.1TB, but the tape is only reporting around 250GB free. I’m expecting around a TB free (2.1TB - 1.1TB). You can also see that the “daily” tapes are reporting 2.1TB free (again, this is expected - there’s not a lot written, maybe ~90MB per day, so not enough to make a difference to the free space reported)Is there something amiss somewhere, or am I going to have to migrate to LTO-7 media a lot sooner than I thought?
