Hi, I’m hoping someone can point me in the correct direction. I have Veeam B&R Community edition server running on my Windows 10 workstation. I do backups of the O/S drive daily and monthly, the user data hourly and monthly and the VM drive daily and monthly.I wanted to have bare-metal recovery but it turns out that Veeam’s bare metal recovery only works if the backups are taken by a Veeam Windows agent implementation. I tried this but because I am already backing data using B&R the agent policy fails.How can I get a bare-metal recovery option?I used to use Windows backup but I keep getting issues with other drives getting flagged as required and that blows out the space required for the Windows backup.Thanks in anticipation.Bob   

One of my clients (public sector) has high security requirements for his IT environment – including backup and storage.I found the following statement from VEEAM about the used encryption standards and methods in Veeam Backup and Replication:“Veeam Backup & Replication supports the following encryption standards and methods:Data EncryptionTo encrypt data blocks in backup files and files archived to tape, Veeam Backup & Replication uses the 256-bit AES with a 256-bit key length in the CBC-mode. This is designed to support the FIPS 140-2 standard. More information around that standard can be found here. As a part of Veeam Backup & Replication’s ability to generate a key based on a password, it uses the Password-Based Key Derivation Function, PKCS #5 version 2.0 as a part of NIST Publication 800-132. Veeam Backup & Replication uses 10,000 HMAC-SHA1 iterations and a 512-bit salt. More information can be found here. Veeam Backup & Replication uses the following hashing a

When backing up o365 data if I am using DAS like windows or linux, does the repository requirements remain same as for veeam backup & replication?

VBO backup server configure in AWS ECS and data will be store in AWS cloud S3 for O365 backup. what is the configuration require for VBO in AWS cloud

After reading MicoolPaul’s question “Linux Distribution of Choice” the answers to MicoolPaul’s question seemed to be more geared for a desktop.So I began to wonder what Linux distribution do people choose for servers in a production environment. Are people’s choice the same for a production server as their desktop choice? Of course, when you’re creating a Linux production server you don’t install an X11/Wayland Desktop Environment.In my environment, there some RHEL and Ubuntu servers. Linux appliances, provided by a vendor, seem to be CentOS, Ubuntu, and SuSE.What’s your production distro of choice?

We are trying to commission a new Veeam hardened repository for off-site backups (Backup Copy jobs). we have put the server behind internal NAT (i.e. using a private IP not an internet IP) as we feel this will improve the security. Backup jobs work but Backup Copy jobs do not and I am getting the impression that NAT is the problem. The primary repository is trying to communicate with secondary with its ‘real’ IP rather than the NAT IP. Can this be overcome?  

what is the best option to configure O365 backup in veeam? cloud to cloud or first copy on prem and second copy cloud 

I have been in touch with Packt publishing and we are starting to gather a list of potential people to conduct a review of my book coming out early 2022 - Mastering Veeam Backup & Replication v11 (update to my v10 book).I can only take about 6-8 people but if you want to get a PDF copy and can do an honest review for Amazon please send your name and email.If you are a Vanguard and have already reached out please don’t send again.  

Hey guys I have a query,If I want to perform an azure SQL backup in veeam backup for azure and I choose staging server to process, what are the things I need to keep in mind when using staging server i.e, how can I add a staging server to veeam backup for azure, which region should the staging server be deployed? and while choosing staging server should I choose credentials of staging server or SQL ? If it is staging server how is it going to backup the SQL workloads without sql credentials ?

Hello,I would like to know if we can process the emails sent from Veeam once a day (once the backup window has finished) and ensure we have 2 success emails for each job (one for the main backup job and one for the replication job stating the backup jobs and its status). I would like to get an email daily that will mention all back jobs have been completed and its status (Successful, Warning or Critical). EX. I have 12 jobs and from those 12 jobs I want 2 emails stating those 12 jobs (One for main backup and for the replication) and saying that those jobs have been completed successfully, have warnings or some critical. this is for the backup and replication jobs.job 1 = back successfuly completed  or warning or criticaljob 2 = back successfuly completed or warning or criticaljob 3 = back successfuly completed or warning or criticaljob 4 = back successfuly completed or warning or criticaljob 5 = back successfuly completed or warning or criticaljob 6 = back successfuly completed or warn

Hey guys,If I want to initiate oracle RMAN backup in veeam by running the backup from database, backup will run in veeam repo, but what about the schedule settings for that? where can I edit that?

I know this might be a superfluous post, but I write it anyway because I know that someone will do a google search about it.Windows 11 is out today (and if you are an IT you doesn’t install it today definitely in some production device, aren’t you?)Anyway Veeam Agent for Windows 5.0.0.4301 has issue with it, and it’s not supported.So.Please.Wait.As @MicoolPaul said:You want v11a which currently has “Windows 11 readiness” based on pre-release, still not officially supported of course! But v11a includes 5.0.1 KB4215: Release Information for Veeam Backup & Replication 11a

Can anyone tell the difference between Static IP mapping and IP masquerading? Both are trying to access VM in virtual lab, so what is the difference?

Is there a way for teams to automatically remove objects from backups, i.e. team objeckts that could not be found anymore, but also to automatically include objects, with a certain prefix, in backups? Thanks so far!

Hey everyone, I was working on reviving my decade old MacBook Pro yesterday, I didn’t want to put MacOS on it again because the only versions it supports are end of life, so inevitably I went down the Linux route. I prepped my USB, installed my distribution of choice (Ubuntu) and set it up as I needed (my dedicated GPU is dead so I needed a fair few tweaks to force the integrated one). As I was installing Ubuntu, it occurred to me, I gave ZERO thought to deploying anything other than Ubuntu, it’s just MY default go-to when I need a Linux OS. So, what’s your go-to? Why is it your go-to? Was it a feature, a security/compliance requirement? Was it the support? Or was it the first one you just *clicked* with?For me, I first started using Ubuntu on the 10.x release. I used Debian and Centos, but Ubuntu just felt nicer to use, helping me learn more about Linux and getting me comfortable enough to go headless on a Linux server (which would make me more confident when Windows started doing Cor

Hi Everybody,one of my client facing problem in Veeam Repository. so that they create a new repository and manually copy all data in new repo. Now they want to start incremental backup from new repo. is it possible ? any body know about this ? 

Quantum announced a new feature in their Library-portfolio: Scalar Ransom Block.https://blocksandfiles.com/2021/11/02/quantum-eject-eject-eject-well-partially-eject-tape-to-block-ransomware/The idea behind is extremely simple: A magazine in the library is partially ejected, so that the robot cannot access these tapes any more! But the ejection is just a few millimeters so the barcode-scanner is still able to see the codes. Ejection can be controlled remotely but to insert the magazine again, a physical manual task is necessary! In my opinion it is a super simple and effective method to protect tapes from attackers that would otherwise be unprotected if tapes would stay in library. But – for sure – it is no protection in the sense of the 3-2-1 rule.And what do you think when comparing to Libraries Mail Slots?

i have on going PoC for Veeam VBR. customer want to take a Physical Machine back up(Dell Server) and want to restore it in another physical server(HPE server). is it possible or not. 

While backing up SQL workloads, the job returned an error saying “Unable to truncate Microsoft SQL Server transaction logs. Details: Failed to process 'TruncateSQLLog' command. Failed to truncate SQL server transaction logs for instances:  . See guest helper log. .” what could be the reason for this?In the sql settings, I enabled “backups logs periodically” and specified retention period. does these settings have something to do with the error?
