Hi, Has any one had the below error on the new CDP Proxy function on B&R v11?Source Proxy Replicator error: encryption; Cannot decrypt message, possible due mismatching key.I can see that the disk are replicating, but now and then it shows the error? Note this is a new CDP job 

As some of you might already know, with V11 the creation process of GFS points within backup copy jobs will be completely renewed.As I understood it, the new method will be exactily the same then, as it is already for primary backups.So instead of forever forward merging and meanwhile somehow dropping a GFS point, we will see a forward chain with synthetic fulls. The latter will then be flagged with the GFS flags.This will in my opinion be remarkable for two reasons:We’ve seen problems with GFS backup copy jobs not adhering to the SOBR placement policy. During one support case I was driving we narrowed it down to the legacy way GFS points are generated in these jobs. SOBR placement policy disregarded for GFS - Veeam R&D Forums. So this might be solved then, whi

v11 was officially Launched and GA’ed last week meaning customers could get their hands on the next flagship release of Veeam Backup & Replication. Since then we have already had about 15,000 downloads! This is why we offer our Cloud and Service Provider Partners an RTM build two weeks in advance of GA… So What’s in it for Service Providers?… a lot!https://anthonyspiteri.net/v11-veeam-service-provider/ 

Hi Everyone, I have just moved over to Kasten on loan from Veeam to really focus on the Technical Community and Content. I thought I would ask the Veeam community about your experiences so far into the learning journey of Kubernetes and Cloud Native technologies. I have been on this learning curve for the past 2 years and there is still quite a bit to tackle and as always in technology you can go as far and as wide on all areas of learning. I have started to document this for the blog my building out an environment in my home lab. I want to see how you are all navigating this? Any training methods you have found? Are your companies starting to or into the Kubernetes journey? and here is another one, how long before we see this trend become our normal, most likely alongside virtualisation which we all know and love today. Finally I would love to hear from you if you have Kubernetes or Kasten blog content because we want to share this as wide as poss

Here is a case of sucess of Puma SE using Veeam. Let’s enjoy! 

Hello Veeam Community! For 2 days consecutive I receive this error below:This is a Linux VM as a file server running on ESXi enviroment. So, today, after I run this job mannualy I can see a health check on it. It lasted almost 40 minutes during the job. I don’t know what it exactly means. But now, everything is working properly! Did you already see or hear something like these?

If the answer is obvious and I don’t see it: sorry for my question!In a large customer setup, SureBackup is managed by script (cusomized: https://www.virtualtothecore.com/can-test-1000-vms-veeam-surebackup/). So VMs are dynamically added by a Application Group. For a long time, we put just one VM into the group. SureBackup jobs failed when this VM failed - most often because of timeout. Now we increased to two VMs per run. Now I see job is skipping second VM when first VM fails. My question: Is this a designed behavior with Application Groups? Did not find the answer in the helpcenter. 

Hello everybody!I'd just like to know… What do you all think about this:   Almost 1 hour to backup a VM to a completely offsite reposittory.Obs.: It was across the Internet, not in some private network.

Hello All...We are moving from one Veeam Cloud Connect Partner to another.  We have already finished the migration.  We have disabled all of the Backup Copy jobs to the old partner and are ready to sever our relationship.  However, we want to make sure that the VCC Partner does not have access to the remote repos.  We do not suspect they will do anything but we just want to cover our bases.  I know when a backup copy job is created there is a setting to “Allow Veeam Cloud connect partner to manage this repo”.  Is it a simple matter of unchecking that box to prevent access?  Or should we completely delete the VCC partner from the service provider window?  We would like to avoid deleting them for a week or so since we still do not have 7 days of retention with the new provide so we want to option to get to that data if needed over the next week or so.  So will unchecking allowing them to have access achieve what we want?ThanksDave

Hi, greeting from newbie last month, our neighboring company was attacked by ransomware,it become worst because their datastore is encrypted too, they still use vmware 5.5 from investigation, they analyze that one server made network drives directly to the datastore,that's why ransomware is able to attack and encrypted the datastore. i want to know if it is possible to create a network drive directly? if attack the datastore is possible, I think veeam replicated server will be useless.

 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 si

I’m sorry, no v11 content here…I wanted to share this video on v10 which I’ve found in the Veeam channel; although it’s almost a year old I hadn’t seen it before. After viewing this video, the question is: Will v11 be even better?

Afternoon! I raised a case with Veeam about the RTM that I don’t believe has made it into the GA in time so thought I’d mention here.Scenario:Latest Veeam v10a in a distributed deployment, with dedicated roles to each server. Attempting to upgrade to v11.Issue:When upgrading Enterprise Manager to v11 when it is the sole Veeam product installed, the main setup executable from the v11 ISO will incorrectly report that only v9.5u4b and above are supported for upgrading to v11.Workaround:After a discussion with Veeam support this is purely an issue with the main setup launcher reading an old attribute (this wasn’t elaborated on further). It is still supported to browse to the Enterprise Manager section of the ISO and run the installer from there. It will detect it is a supported upgrade path and install as expected.

Will The New Version Of “V11 Backup And Replication Community Edition” Be Released This Week?

HiWill CDP be compatible with Oracle ensuring transaction consistent replicas?

Hello everybody! So now, we have the official date for Veeam v11 release.I'd love to know what are your expectations about this version. Is there some feature that someone would like to highlight?Any concern about that? Just let me know!Let’s talk!  

Hi guys One of our customer migrated all his workloads to Azure. For backup compliance he defined all workloads have to be backed up daily to AWS S3 immutable object store.So we have Veeam Backup for Azure for IaaS and NAS Backup for Azure File Share.Now my struggle is real. When I backup the file share with NAS Backup I’m not able to write the data to AWS on daily base, only “Keep previous file version” works. I used a scale-out backup repository with capacity tier the s3 immutable store and the setting “Copy backups to object store as soon as they are created” and “Move backups to object storage as they age out the operational restore window” but nothing happened.Also the Azure IaaS Backup Copy job does not work as expected. As backup repository I need to specify a scale-out repo because directly to object store is not possible. With same scale-out repo as above the local stored elements will not be deleted. Does anyone have any exp

Hi guys, want to make you aware of a major update on the VBO Best Practice guide available at https://bp.veeam.com/vbo.

I think it will be very good to hear Veeam at this event and above all to win to win prizes hahaha Register Now: https://www.veeam.com/microsoft-ignite-2021.html 

Update 5b for Veeam Backup for Office 365 was released yesterday, which I’ve discovered from @AnthonySpiteri’s blog:https://anthonyspiteri.net/patch-backup-microsoft-office-365-v11/https://www.veeam.com/kb4092Besides the preparation for the upcoming v11 VBR release I would like to highlight this resolved issue:Under certain conditions retention policy mistakenly cleans actual Exchange backup data from Jet-based repositories set with snapshot-based retention of less than 2 years. This issue applies to Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office versions 3.0 – 4c. I’m not sure at what conditions this could happen but it sounds rather serious.
