We have VBR BAAS, provisioned in VM, initially we sized  it with the server inventory provided. How can I know or what will be the basis if I need to add addtional cpu or ram in the veeam backup server?for example: addtional 10vms added in the job will add 2 cpu and 2gb ram?

Just in case anyone is looking for Veeam version numbers you can check this KB to find out and get links to the KB articles related - KB2680: Build numbers and version of Veeam Backup & Replication

Now that we have 2 of the 3 days of VMworld out of the way who’s been following along? What’s new that you see as interesting?Personally the whole project where the management layer of vSphere is containerized I think is both interesting and is going to create some challenges in the near future for those of us thinking about BCDR. That itself lends itself to the idea of the other project where your vSphere management is now done as a Service.From the Veeam perspective I keep thinking about the idea of having physical repositories that I use the project Monterrey smart NICs with to fold them into the NSX overlay to really nail down the connectivity with.

Veeam has released backup for Nutanix AHV 3.0.  Release notes here - KB4214: Release Information for Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV 3.0 

As everybody knows, yesterday Facebook has the biggest outage ever register in the company.  Just to be clear it has noted that the problem is about DNS and BGP protocol through the network. So, it wasn't attack. It wasn't ransomware. It wasn't hardware problem. I think that is important to talk about these big problems with IT companies, because is very common hear and see so many fake news about this kind of outage. Here is a good post of CloudFlare about the problem: https://blog.cloudflare.com/october-2021-facebook-outage/   

Soo…. VBO hard to install ? Or you never had the chance to play around with Wasabi object storage? Or you have some internships at the office that have a O365-like-assignment? Some students that suddenly asked you to play around with our tool? Or a client (who has no time as usual) still wants a POC to play around himself… But in real live he/she will never even manage to install it….For the above use-cases i’ve added VBO from-scratch install to a fully functional configurated instance. Redo the steps and you’ve got VBO up and running in less than 15min before the first job kicks in.feel free to use: http://www.veeamclick.be/vbo.htmlNext steps (pending when I have some spare time): restores off course :-)( PS: yes my veeam-sales can now officially configure a backup-job ) edit: wasn’t supposed to be a “question” but “content”...oeps...

Just saw this VMworld session of Dell/EMC’s PowerProtect backup solution:Protect Your Virtual Infrastructure with Drastically Less Disruption [SEC2764S]Then I read this article about Transparent Snapshot with Dell/EMC in vSphere:https://www.storagereview.com/news/dell-emc-powerprotect-adds-transparent-snapshotsFirst I thought this is a new feature in vSphere 7 U3. But at second glance it is something different. It seems, Dell installs some VIB in the ESXi host. This daemon/service monitors all changed blocks of protected VMs and reports these at backup time. So no vSphere Snapshot is needed.Does anyone knows more about this feature/technology? Am I correct in my assumptions? 

Hey guys,I just wanna understand the difference between recovery and recovery verification.Recovery verification is testing VM Backups for malware scan and if nothing found we proceed for restore. While performing recovery, there is an option to perform malware scan.The question here is for recovery if the customer chooses to perform malware scan then what is the difference between recovery & recovery verification? Can anyone tell me or am I wrong somewhere?

Hi,I am useing PowerShell doing VM Restores. It works pretty well. The only thing, that is not working for me, is to place the Target Network. I am restoreing VMs in an different target. If I understand the documentation correct, I need to Get the ViServerNetwork Info from my host. So I put this information in a varible like this:$target = Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo -Server "srv01.veeam.local" | Where-Object { $_.NetworkName -eq "NW01" }But putting this varible to the Start command, the restore process will fail because auf the -TargetNetwork. So what I am doing wrong? Start-VBRRestoreVM –RestorePoint $restorepoint –Server $server –ResourcePool $rpool –Datastore $datastore –PowerUp $true -TargetNetwork $target

As per Gostev’s latest digest Veeam now has a site that you can go to for seeing anything that integrates with Veeam like Storage, S3, etc.  No more visiting the “Unofficial” page in the forums.Check it here - https://www.veeam.com/alliance-partner-integrations-qualifications.htmlYou can filter with the dropdown lists.Example of S3 with Immutability - https://www.veeam.com/alliance-partner-integrations-qualifications.html?ad=menu-solutions&type=object-storage-target&product=vbr&programCategory=objectImmutable

Hello to all,On my Veeam Cloud Connect server I have a SOBR with 2 extents and S3 storage from Wasabi.1 of the 2 extens was recently added but no offload to the S3 was happening.I probably shouldn't have, but I removed the S3 from the sobr then put it back.I ran a rescan and since then I have the "Configuration Database Resynchronize" job running for almost 63 hours ....There are 15TB of backups on the S3 storage.Is it normal that it takes so long? What can I do?Thanks

After setting up our first secure linux repo at work I had the thought of adding some more at branch office locations. Initially, I wondered if it would be possible to take a raspberry pi to host the ubuntu server, but soon came to the conclusion the Veeam agent service is not likely to support ARM. I wanted something small we could drop in a locked server closet and push copies out overnight.So where I have ended up is running/testing this on my home lab: Secure linux repo setup on an old SFF x64 Celeron machine that was decommissioned with the Win 7 EOL. It’s equipped with 4GB RAM, gig ethernet, and a 5TB WD USB 3 drive. Loaded up community edition on my Win 10 Hyper V install and loaded the agent on the host desktop. Disabled IPv6 on the Veeam app server and my agent installed desktop to alleviate some veeam proxy connection errors occurring mid-job and away we go. I’m also running backups from my standalone Hyper V host. Being able to use something this sophisticated at home seems

Hi, all I am wanting to get some insight and pick you all’s brains on your best practices when it comes to copyjobs. Here’s the situation I am in:I have backups servers that have fairly complex backups schedules that range from hourly backups to daily, and even weekly backups. Lately I have been running into copyjob failures that say “the restore point is locked by another job”. This is happening when primary backup file healthchecks, merges, or defrags run. I created a topic about this, last week, and @Chris.Childerhose gave me some good insight. I guess I am at take 2, at this point, and I need you all’s input. The problem is, I have no idea how to schedule the copyjobs around these schedules...there just really isn’t a way, and consequently, i don’t know of a way to avoid these failures. They used to not happen. It’s only been recently that they have started cropping up. I am also working with support on this, but I would love you all’s input and get some insight into how you all ta

Hi,  We are using Veeam to back up our on Prem HyperV VMs with no problem.  This is working like a dream.  What we urgently need to do is restore a VM to AWS EC2 that we can RDP onto.Ive tried this but when I start the EC2 instance RDP just doesnt work…. Some backgroundWe have an on-prem domain mydomain.local with two physical host servers that contain around 9 VMsThis onprem set up is also covered by Forticlient VPNIn AWS we have a VPC (for example myVPC) with a public and private subnets.  Im able to spin up new EC2 instances into both subnets and connect them to our domain and login with a mydmomain\User for example with no problem.  The issue is when restoring a VM to EC2 via Veeam to our public subnet - there is no way I can RDP to it.  Ive checked that the security group has RDP 3389 listening but no joy.  I cant imagine that Im the only person who has tried to do this????  Does anyone have any advice or walkthrough on this?  As it’s really giving me a massive headache! Many than
