Protect Configuration Database

I have a question as we are looking to make sure that our backup environment is as recoverable as possible in the event of the most extreme events.We have our VBR server virtualized in HyperV.  We do a backup job for the configuration database.  We also have a replication task setup to replicate the VBR server to our DR location.What we are looking at is that the location that the config database is backed up to is in the primary data center.  What has anyone done to create a task to copy the config database offsite, like to SharePoint or OneDrive or something like that.

VMware has evaluated the severity of this issue to be in the Important severity range with a maximum CVSSv3 base score of 7.7.Known Attack VectorsA malicious actor with access to a virtual machine with CD-ROM device emulation may be able to exploit this vulnerability in conjunction with other issues to execute code on the hypervisor from a virtual machine.

new jobs, same data protected

Hi Id like to find out what people think the best course of action would be in my circumstances. we have an agent backup job that was running on a WSFC failover cluster file server. this was backup up to a SOBR which was tiered to AWS We have just removed the WSFC cluster in favour of single servers, I have had to create new backup jobs within Veeam (cant use clustered type for non clustered) which was fairly easy my question is what do to with the old jobs, they have backup data attached to them in performance capacity tiers which I don’t want to accidentally remove but I am unsure whether it is best to just disable the job, or remove the protected volumes from the jobs, but I think that if I disable or remove the selections that Veeam wont be able to manage the retention policies thanks!

RestAPI - SureBackup

Hi, We are utilizing the RestAPI in VBR11 to manage most of our jobs (reporting, start, stop, etc).It seems that SureBackup jobs are not included in the API, when communication with /api/v1/jobs Is there an roadmap for the API, where we can follow the progress? Or is this already included? :)

Veeam Service Provider Console displays duplicate entries for machines when Veeam Agent is installed on Citrix VM.

When VMs on Citrix Hypervisor (formerly known as XenServer), orchestrated by Cloudstack Apache or Azure Stack Hub, using Veeam Agent (for Microsoft Windows or for Linux) are managed by Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC), reporting, licensing, and management functionality may have unpredictable results.See this KB for solution:https://www.veeam.com/kb4269

A Cloud Guru - Free Training on Securing AWS S3

Hi everyone, ACG (A Cloud Guru) are providing a free training course this month on securing AWS S3 storage. Anton Gostev provided insights recently into public cloud utilisation and with AWS being used by such a big portion of the Veeam customer base, it makes sense to share information on how to secure the S3 storage. Link to course:https://acloudguru.com/course/how-to-properly-secure-an-s3-bucket Hope this helps someone!

Need Help Diagnosing Slow Backup Speed..

Hey Veeam Community,I am having a problem backing up my personal workstation to an external hard drive.I am using the free version of Veeam Agent for Windows.When I backup, my main (C:) Internal SSD shows:Local SSD (C:) (476.1 GB) 262.5 GB read at 142 MB/sHowever, my other Internal SSD ‘terabyte’ (X:)Terabyte (X:) (953.9 GB) 3.8 GB read at 4 MB/s.I benchmarked both of my drives with CrystalDiskMark and they both got good similar results being Sata SSD’s, so the X: drive should not be this slow.I’ve tried swapping sata ports, changing cables, disable throttling when system is in use, etc. Nothing seems to help.Can anyone help me diagnose what is causing one drive to backup so much faster? Thanks, Mike

Tell Me Why Patch Testing is Terrible

Let’s face it, we live in a world where security vulnerabilities and threats are top of mind.  There’s some new exploits in the news daily...and often software patches are required to protect our assets.I’ve talked to many out there and the consensus is similar: patches are a must but, the need to be tested first, and testing is terrible.So I ask you all - what makes patch testing so terrible?

[Sorry for this OT, but that’s a severe worldwide bug]A major bug has hit the Microsoft Exchanges on premise since January 1st 2022, because of using a int32 variable that long exceeds the maximum value of 2,147,483,647 causing the service goes error and blocking the queue mail.A first solution released by the community was to disable the malware filtering service with the following powershell lines:Set-MalwareFilteringServer -Identity <nameserver> -BypassFiltering $trueRestart-Service MSExchangeTransportMicrosoft yesterday released a powershell .ps1 that tricks the service by “unlocking the month of December 2021 to infinite days”, so today would be 34 December 2021.https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/email-stuck-in-exchange-on-premises-transport-queues/ba-p/3049447Honestly, I don’t know if this can be considered a good solution. For more updates, there’s a dedicated subreddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/rt91z6/exchange_2019_antimalware_bad_u
