Hello,The question is in the tittle :)How do you perform the 3-2-1 golden Rules with Veeam for Microsoft Azure?I read this blogspot https://micoolpaul.com/2021/04/19/veeam-achieving-3-2-1-1-0-protection-for-cloud-native-workloads/ (thanks @MicoolPaul ) but I have some questions !Do you keep all your backup datas in Azure or use another repository for your copy?To be able to make backup copy an VBR must be deploy right ? Where do place you VBR server OnPremise on Azure? If we want to transfer backup data located in the Azure block to another S3 compatible storage, will transaction fees be applied?thanks in advance

Hi teamPlease excuse my ignorance as I have not done this before and would like your advise.Current VEEAM implementation has AHV proxy configured to back up the environment.A new AHV clusters will be added. My initial uneducated thought assumed to re-use the existing proxy but I think that is actually not possible now. It seems the proxy configuration cannot be altered so I think it leaves me with no choice to create new one. No biggie.Also, I noticed that there is an embedded worker for the cluster configured in the proxy.In general, Would you suggest adding more workers to the new cluster? There are 3 nodesCheers

This week Anton Gostev talks about hardware for primary backup repositories. He discusses what kind of servers are used in the market and which advantages they have.Really a must-read.  I've recently talked to a number of our field folks regarding primary backup repositories they see our customers deploying these days and collected quite a bit of factual data that I think is worth sharing, as it should be helpful for your planning purposes. I also included some anecdotal information about the pricing just to give you an idea but keep in mind this will the price to channel without reseller margin (so you will pay slightly more) and this data came from one particular cost-sensitive region – so YMMV depending on where your company is located. Also, while I will be talking about HPE and Cisco offerings simply because these are "safe choices" used by the majority of our customers (both companies are our resell partners which explains this phenomena) this does not mean other vendors should

Hello everyone,I am looking for advice on how to manage a migration from a VMWare host to a Hyper-V host while maintaining backups continuity under Veeam B&R 12.2 with only 2 sockets licensed. BackgroundWe have decided to move from VMWare to Hyper-V.  Our environment is small and it makes solid economic sense over the lifetime of the current Windows Server edition.  The Windows Server licensing was bought before Veeam expanded support to other hypervisors, so Proxmox VE was not in scope for this move.  We have timed our migration to coincide with a hardware refresh, so we will move from a two-host ESXi setup (VMWare VSphere Essentials with Veeam managing replication to the second host) to a two-host Hyper-V setup.  Again, we intend to use Veeam to manage replication because Windows Server Hyper-V Replication is constrictive compared to the options we have under Veeam, for our risk profile.There are 18 VMs in scope for the move.  The bulk of the data is approximately 50TB of data fr

I’m attempting to backup an entire Ubuntu 24.04 computer with the Veeam Agent for Linux.  The destination is an external USB drive.  I can do this with a Windows 11 computer and the Veeam Agent for Windows with no problem.However, when I try to do the same thing with the Veeam Agent for Linux, I’m given an error message that the destination path is included in the backup.  As far as I can remember this used to work.Why does this work now only in Windows but not Linux?

How can I back up our Proxmox Ve cluster environment to Cloud Connect Service Provider storage? With VMWARE and Hyper-V I can choose from the Cloud Connect repository that has been created, but when I create a backup job for Proxmox this is not available to me. Does anyone know why? Is there a solution?

Hi,I would like to offload Archives to AWS Glacier. I added a AWS Glacier Repository to an sobr as archive exent. Once offloading starts I get the following error messages.I thing that the gateway server is not able to connect by ssh to the ec2 proxy appliance? Are these Appliances deployed in advance, or just temporary during archive offloading job? It is a new deploy, we didnt use these feature. 01:42:55    Failed to provision a proxy appliance: Unable to connect by SSH to appliance.     04:3201:47:28    Queued for processing at 28.04.2021 01:47:28     01:47:33    Task failed.

Hi. I have a mid-range gaming PC. It has a 1 terabyte internal SSD. 510 gigs are used, of which Steam games are 230 gigs (easily redownloadable), hyberfil.sys is 13 gigs, pagefile.sys is 8 gigs and my VRChat cache is 32 gigs (easily rebuildable). Experiments have shown that this filesystem, when these items are excluded, compresses to 185 gigs and that an incremental each day comes to about 20 gigabytes.I have a 1 terabyte external disk drive that I want to leave permanently plugged in. Obviously I’d like to keep as many days’ backup as possible, while allowing for reliable backup.What settings do people suggest I use?  Keep backups for _ days, and in the Advanced tab, what should I put for: Synthetic full backup, Active full backup, Defrag and compact full backup file. For the advanced tab, I don’t quite understand them. 

Hi, I am going to done a PoC for one of my customer. But before done PoC customer wand architecture document from me. anyone can suggest me which documents I can share to my customer.  Thanks 

Hello,How would my Backup copy Job chain look?Backup Jobs are 7 restore points (Incrementals + Synthetic Fulls)Backup Copy Jobs will also have 7 Restore points.As I’m going trough some old discussions I can see that with Forward incrementals and first Full Backup with backup copy jobs everything has stay above 7 restore points.Also one more question, do I need to seed backup copy jobs if I’m going to use WAN Acceleration in High Bandwidth Mode 

Hello, As of this morning one of my Veeam consoles is having jobs with Guest Processing enabled fail.Veeam Version 12.3.1.1139Failed Connecting to guest OS via RPC Error: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {Removed} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)).  Steps I’ve tried:Rebooted server with Veeam Console installed. Rebooted source VM whose replication & backup jobs have guest processing enabled. Confirmed that the credentials in use are still accurate by signing directly into the VM using them. Verified neither Veeam console nor VM being backed up had Windows updates installed last night or this morning. Tested guest processing using a different domain admin account to rule out profile corruption. Ping from Veeam device to VM works with no dropped packets. Verified it was possible to browse from the Veeam console server to the VMs Admin$ share with the original domain admi

Hi,does anybody have experience in backup vms from elastic cloud server (ECS) in the open telekom cloud? My idea would be, installing veeam backup server inside the cloud. Backup the ECS with agents to an external storage provider AWS S3 oder WASABI for example.Greetings Hartmut

For legal purpose we have to make a full backup of one of the server and store it in either the server or tape for infinite retention. If I click on inventory, vcenter server, server name, there are few options like Quick backup, add to backup job….. Can the copy of the backup job be stored for infinite retention in the server since we do not have tape copy activated. Can this job be also used to restore files from backup.Backup server stores files(.vbm and .vbk) for 5 months but the edit backup job retention policy is 12 days. Not sure how the files in the backup server are stored for 5 months.

Hello everyone,We are a cloud backup provider and I would like to clarify some doubts before migrating to version 13.We currently use version 12 in the latest available build and will soon migrate to version 13, however my question is:After the update, is it possible to restore the settings in the VSA?And will all Cloud Connect configurations be done in the VSA or in the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance?

Hi community, if you are using Dell Data Domain and you are planning to upgrade to v12.1, be careful and read well the documentation, especially release notes (https://www.veeam.com/veeam_backup_12_1_release_notes_rn.pdf): Dell Data Domain: the supported operating system version is 7.3 to 7.12. Upgrade to it, or thebackup jobs pointed to this repository will fail to start. As @foggy explained to me in the R&D forum, “earlier versions are already End Of Support from the Dell side and 7.3 is required for Retention Lock support from the API perspective“ Enjoy! 💚

I have backed up a Windows 11 PC using Veeam Agent for Windows. I would like to restore that backup to a USB Drive, so then I can just boot Windows up off the USB.I created a Veeam Recovery Media USB, but when I boot up off it and select BMR and select the backup file, my USB drive that I want to restore to, does not come up in the destination drive selection screen, it is not listed at all.I can see the drive if I go to a Command Prompt, but cannot see it in the Veeam BMR Interface.Is there anyway possible to restore the backup to the USB drive.  Could it somehow be done using command line utilities ?Thanks.

Hello guys,I’m planning to do the upgrade to v13.Is there any recommended way of doing it, documentation that I can follow?Thank you in advance.

I had a few questions about backup from onsite computers to the cloud. I am currently using the community edition of veeam backup and replication. The backups are currently going to onsite storage. Does the community edition has the capability to backup to cloud storage? If so how? Is there any difference between the community edition and the essential edition aside from the number of workloads they can support? I see that veeam supports backups to AWS, Azure, and Google. Does veeam support backing up to other cloud storage providers?

Hello, Thanks, I cannot install latest VBRso this is what happened.For years, at VBR 11 installed and worked great. thanks veeam! Now, tried to update to latest 12.1. i downloaded .iso and checked md5 hash. That update failed, complained could not uninstall veeam for linux. I tried again to update and this time, instead of being asked to upgrade, i was only given option to Install. I tried to install, but VBR complains about seen belowSo I tried to manually remove VBR using:https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/how-to-uninstall-v12-community-edition-completely-t89675.htmlhttps://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/how-to-uninstall-v12-community-edition-completely-t89675.html But, when i try to install, I still get that same error message, as shown above.here is the contents of VbrSuite_26_05_2024_10_32_34.log[26.05.2024 10:32:34][INFO] Configuration file: G:\Setup\VBRSettings.xml[26.05.2024 10:32:34][INFO] Engine is starting...[26.05.2024 10:32:34][INFO] Creatin

Hi teamI was tasked with creating a new repo in Azure and setting up new backup policies.I have created policy per service (Sharepoint, Teams, Onedrive, Mail)Services other than sharepoint have finally completed but sharepoint is not playing nice.It appears not to be progressing and been at it for nearly 7 days.Any idea what the issue could be? I have stopped all other backups for now but makes no difference.Any thoughts?  

Hi community, While waiting for Veeam Backup for MS365 to release a tool for migrating backup data from one bucket to another, I was thinking what could be another way of doing it. On the forum I saw that there are several options by using other tools, which are currently not supported by Veeam, as they might change the structure of files, but seems to work, and I thought of Veeam object storage backup feature. Has anyone used object storage backup job to archive Veeam for MS365 backups? It won’t help with backup mapping and will only be ok for smaller environments, but purely for archival purposes it doesn’t look to bad for me.  Thank you!

 Are you tired of typing kubectl over and over again?Hi Folks,If any of you are planning on taking the CKA or CKAD certification exams bear in mind that effective use of your time is very important for passing because they are both hands on practical exams with no multiple choice questions. I completed the last question of the CKA in the final minute of the exam!You can save a lot of time by creating aliases. So instead of having to type constantly kubectl you can create an alias k and type this instead. It is up to you how many you want to create during the exam but for daily work life these aliases are also huge time savers.Ahmet Alp Balkan has a great script to create many aliases for your home labs or work. If you are like me can just pick and choose a few and create them. https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectl-aliasesHere is a simple example to create a k alias for kubectl:open the .bashrc file in your home directory with your favourite editor Type in the alias (I normally put mine rig
