Hello Techies,We use Veeam Backup as our backup solution, and I am planning to configure Veeam as follows to make sure that our data are safe during a primary site unrecoverable disaster.Regularly backup configuration and keep it external storage source ( One Drive, external HDD ..etc )  At the end of each backup, I will configure a copy job to secondary storage  The secondary storage will be mapped from the DR site using the site-to-site link.So, after each job, a copy will be placed into secondary storage and the secondary store will be on the DR site. In the event of primary site unrecoverable disaster, I will perform as follows 1- Install fresh Veeam software 2- Restore configuration3- Map secondary storage backup LUN / Volume 4- Restore from secondary storage Am I missing something? any suggestion? 

While  creating backups in a Hyper-V environment, you need several permissions to be able to properly snapshot and process a VM. What are the  permissions are not necessary for on-host backups, if used?Full Access permission on the targetfolder and share access given. 

Hi guys One of our customer hosts VBO on a Azure VM with managed disk as backup repository. Not the best practice and most cost efficient, but customer started with VBO v2 :)To the problem: Customer tries to restore a sharepoint site of 50GB with many files. The restore performance is quite bad around 3MB/s with bottleneck shown as source.Are we hitting against Microsoft limitation? CPU and disk on VBO VM is low during the hole restore time. Also tried with SSD as managed disk without any effect. SincerelyDaniel 

hi team can any you explain me where the veeam Credentials is store? if it's store in the sql database is the Credentials is encrypted? is it possible to recover Credentials from sql database?

Production Environment is a four Node VXRail VSAN Cluster. Backup Server is separated on a Physical Machine with local Storage and Backup Jobs are running fine.Want to use SureBackup to proof that my Virtual Machines are could be recovered after been backed up.  Setup everything what is needed for SureBackup but the Job went wrong.At the End i figured out that something goes wrong on the vPower NFS which uses Port 1063 and Port 2049. But even i change the Port 1063 to 1058 there is no success.Have someone a clue what ports are needed for VXRail to work? 

So, our kid is becoming a teenager…17 years of Ubuntu! Do you use Ubuntu on your IT/Veeam projects?How often do you use it? 

For me my favourite either had to be:@falkob’s Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 sizing guidelines (that trick with using the first two characters of the object ID was awesome!) Or the nine keys to better BC/DR with @vmiss33 & Jason BuffingtonMissed out? Watch now: Select Region - VeeamOn Update

Log-shipping with VBR involves your SQL or Oracle server (VM or agent), optionally a log-shipping server and of course a repo to store the VLBs.With Hyper-V underneath one might even log-ship through the hypervisor by using PowerShell direct. This is nice, as it allows to isolate your DB workloads from the backup network and still leverage log-shipping.During the process Veeam creates temp files of the logs to be shipped first on the DB server and then the log-shipping server. Finally, after a LZ4 compression, those are driven to the repo and deleted on those temp locations.On the DB server the temp path for logs is defined in the registry and defaults to the largest disk the server has (since 9.5U4a). The path can be changed: https://www.veeam.com/kb2642On the log-shipping server the process is always using the %TEMP% path to store the data.Problem is, V

​In these two weeks, updates have been released for two of the most used operating systems in the world, I’m talking about Windows 11 and Ubuntu 21.10.Windows 11 comes with all-secured new OS (and relative limitations too, es. TMP 2.0 and 3-years CPU), new design and sounds, new start, heavely power-up of multitasking, optimized and reduced uptades, integrated teams and widget, new Xbox funtionality, store and Android app support ( this one will come very soon). And if you have an AMD, tomorrow will get fix for that issue onb L3 cache and performance too.Ubuntu intead comes with new features, but this release’s not a LTS so only around 5% of installations will get new update (long live to LTS), Linux k

Veeam has just released the RHV backup in Beta if anyone is interested.  Find details here -KB4221: Release Information for Veeam Backup for Red Hat Virtualization 1.0 

Evening all!Seeing reports of Windows Update pushing a bad driver for VMware PVSCSI to Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 VMs, it shows as “VMware, Inc. - SCSI Adapter - 1.3.18.0”. Hopefully Microsoft will pull it, just be careful of any patching windows or you may be fishing for old drivers through your backups… or if you’re using SureBackup/SureReplica, if you’ve got a pending Windows Update reboot and it’s a ticking time bomb, you’ll soon know when those VMs fail to boot! Good luck out there!

Additionally, for users with tape installations (for file to tape jobs processing more than 1,000,000 files):1.5 GB RAM for file to tape backup for each 1,000,000 files 2.6 GB RAM for file restore for each 1,000,000 files 1.3 GB RAM for catalog jobs for each 1,000,000 files Please anyone expation what its means?

As many of you may have seen from your email Veeam has recently released a VMCE 2021 Fast Track package for any v9, 2020 certificate holders or people who have taken the v10 class but not passed the exam. I’ve written a blog on the subject but TL;DR it’s definitely worth checking out. 

Veeam has extended its Azure Stack HCI OS support in v11a.  See the following KB - KB4047: Veeam Support for Azure Stack HCI

Hey! Fancied trying a different fun Friday this week, what’s your favourite cloud storage?This could be a public hyperscaler or an object storage specialist vendor. With Veeam having such a list of supported vendors it’d be great to see the ones you’re all most enthusiastic about working with, bonus points for why!

Hello,a customer of mine wants to use a teradata box for a database application.Up to now I have learned already that there is no direct integration with Veeam and that teradata is a little bit “special”. It brings a own data protection solution with it on board. We don’t want to support and maintain a second backup solution besides Veeam for this customer if it is avoidable….Does someone here have some experiences with data protection of a teradata box?My fist idea was to check if the OS is a linux/unix and if it is possible to install a Veeam agent on it. I assume the internal solution can write the backup data in a filesystem and the agent can send it to the VBR server.But perhaps there are some other solutions I didn’t think of. I am looking forward to hear your expertise
