Hey All, Our Synology no longer supports NTLMv1 which is causing the Veeam SMB Repo to disconnect. Anyone know of a way to set the SMB level in Veeam to 2 or higher minimum? Thanks. User [veeam] from [IP address] failed to log in via [SMB] due to [NTLMv1 not permitted].

@wolff.mateus asked what Brazil community thinks about latest Gartner Report for Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions. I think this is interesting globally as well!According to Gartner, Veeam is about 1 cm (or inch, if you prefer) behind the leader in Vision  Honestly I have no deep knowledge about other competitors. So I looked at Veeam’s Strengths and Cautions. Strengths:Instant recovery True! More and more workloads are adding to this feature. Like Database and NAS in v11. Cloud cost transparency Yes, with Build-in cost estimation. Like for Veeam Backup for AWS 3.0 Technical support Customers are very satisfied with support. I personally too. What is not mentions is the satisfaction level of the software quality, which is also extremely high.Cautions:Deployment complexity In large-scale environments, this can happen. Veeam roles can be distributed over a lot of Windows/Linux servers which can be physical or virtual. Veeam does a good job in distributi

Hello, I would like to know what is the best design for Simple and Advanced.For Simple, I have 1 server with the veeam backup, proxy and storage. For Advanced, I have compute as veeam backup and a third party storage. if customer have 16tb source backup, (1) what will be the best design to position, have a Simple to lower the cost or position a Advanced Deploy since date is 16tb?(2) For Simple, what will be the basis to position the Simple Deployment? atleast 5tb and 10 jobs? or how many jobs or source data, so we can consider that as Simple?(3)For Advanced as well, how many jobs or source data? I am reading the article below. Thankshttps://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/deployment_scenarios.html?ver=110https://bp.veeam.com/vbr/

Hello,We have a VBR 10 with Enterprise Manager in a physical Windows Server 2012 R2. Also we have a secondary VBR 10 in a virtual machine 2012R2 in an external site.I have to migrate all the products to version 11 and I would like to know what is the best way to backup all the configuration necessary to restore the servers in case of problem.I read that I have to perform backup of the SQL Server configuration databases used by Veeam backup servers and Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager server, to easily go back to a previous version in case of issues with upgrade. So, In case of problem, I can go back to a previous version with the built-in configuration backup and the SQL Server configuration databases backup, right?it’s also another option to do a Veeam Windows Agent Backup of that physical server from the other VBR in the external site?Thanks in advance, Omar De Souza.

Hello y’all! I’d like to know what software or tools you often use to project and draw your Veeam environments.Do you use MS Visio, LucidChart or something else?

Hi,i work for an MSP where a lot of clients are small businesses still using Shadowprotect. (even larger clients..) not always setup by us, but as we onboard them we want to start converting to Veeam.Certain smaller clients have physical machines acting as the Veeam B&R Console + backup repository with WD RED NAS HDD’s (only for the purpose of a backup destination, not a failover/actual backup server - due to $$)I’m trying to design a standard quote to help our sales team for a certain client type that doesn't mind spending a bit more money.Thinking of a Lenovo SR250 Maybe?? as the “entry level” Veaam setup(virtualised). (if clients require faster recovery against host failure of their production servers then a custom quote would be created for more of a 1:1 setup)I just want something that will still allow for replication failover (run replicas decently)So consider this, most these clients have a Domain controller VM, File Server VM, and MAYBE exchange VM.The backup server host wo

HiMy setup is as follows : - 1 server (in a workgroup) with Veeam ONE (service account of service is a standalone user, member of Veeam ONE Administrators group and local administrators group)- 1 server (also in a workgroup) with VBR- several domain-joined Hyper-V serversProblem is situated in Veeam ONE : Adding the hyper-v servers with a domain-user (with of course local administrator group) is no problem.Adding the VBR server with a local administrator account is no problem.Adding Veeam ONE Agent on the VBR server is no problem.Problems : - in Infrastructure View : I am getting the error of bad hyper-v username logon attempt (refers to the user being used as service account on the server with Veeam ONEthe info of the Hyper-v server seems to be correct including the CPU graphs and so..Is there a way that another user can be chosen to collect the data instead of the Veeam ONE service account?- in Data Protection View : VBR server is not responding and getting the alarm : Server connect

 Could anyone share tutorial for configuring repository replication (backups) for Google Cloud Storage?t's giving user login error, I'm having configuration difficulties between Google and Veeam for Storage Standard

Hello,  I have a monthly tape job that started last Monday. Today I found that the tape job failed with the Data error (cyclic redundancy check) for some backup jobs.I decided to manually start again the same tape job with new cartridges, however, I realized that it’s taken only the missed backup jobs from the previous failed jobs, for the other backup jobs the result is “success” but with the message “no backup files found”. Do you have an idea? Thanks in advance, Omar De Souza. PS: VBR 10

Hello there,I have a backup job which was going seamlessly. but in the last days it was failing after reaching 80% with error message attached below. I tried the job by disabling firewall rules nothing new occurred. All backup infrastructure components are working fine for other VMs. I have also checked firewall logs but there is nothing blocked related to this backup.Error message:Error: Unstable connection: unable to transmit data. Failed to upload disk. Skipped arguments: [vddkConnSpec>]; Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}. Exception from server: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host Unable to retrieve next block transmission command. Number of already processed blocks: [11956]. Failed to download disk 'VM-Name.vmdk'. I need to figure out how to resolve this issue immediately.

We are being told by our Veeam Cloud Connect Provider, Global Data Vault, that we still can’t upgrade to Veeam 11 since there are still bugs in the Cloud Director services.  We are also being told that No other Cloud Connect Providers are on Veeam 11 yet because Veeam is telling them not to be until these problems are fixed. Are you hearing the same thing, or if you have Veeam 11 and have no issue with your Cloud Connect Provider, how long have they been compatible with version 11 and who is that Vendor?

Dear all,Apology I am a newbie here and my question may sound naive. We appreciate any help from your guys.We used Tivoli in the past to backup Oracle for both long term data keeping and DR. We created 3 sets of tapes. 2 sets would  be always in the tape library and one at remote site. Every 2 weeks we get back the offsite set and load it into library, and send one set of tapes to remote site for storage.Could you please give some idea how to set up file-to-tape job (let say daily full backup of Oracle) in Veeam in similar fashion? Our idea is to create a media pool with 3 media sets. One media set online for backup for 2 weeks, another offline in the tape library and one media set in the vault (to keep in remote site). And we will rotate in that way for every 2 weeks.Will that work? We value your input very much.Thank you.Hien 

If anyone uses Hitachi as their primary storage there is now a plugin that was posted in the Vanguard slack channel.  Going to test this one out since we use Hitachi as one of our primary storage vendors.https://www.veeam.com/download_add_packs/vmware-esx-backup/hitachi/

Hello everyone,So, I just tried out my new tape library (Powervault 124T) and it worked for the first job I did. I erased some tapes, let that job finish, ejected the magazine, reloaded with some tapes that had data, I did an inventory on them, and while I thought it finished. It must not have. I ejected the tape magazine, changed tapes, and discovered there was one still in the drive, and the job was not doing anything. It was stuck.I canceled it, said okay I’m going to re-run it, but now the drives shows locked & I can’t unlock it.

Hello everyone! I’m calcing somethings about blob on Azure and I’d like to know what movement Veeam do when it sends some data to blob.I saw these kinds of things on API Azure:PutBlob PutBlock PutBlockList AppendBlock SnapshotBlob CopyBlob SetBlobTierAny idea?

Morning all, For anyone that missed the news story, Kaseya have been the latest victim in the increasingly dangerous threat of supply chain attacks.Who are Kaseya? Kaseya offer a remote management system primarily aimed at Managed Service Providers (MSPs). MSPs use tools like this to automate patching and monitoring of systems and can automate deployments via reusable scripts that can be targeted at one or more devices.By the very nature of this software it is designed to run with elevated privileges.Cyber Criminals found a vulnerability with the Kaseya VSA platform and have used it to deploy ransomware to systems.Full details can be found here: https://helpdesk.kaseya.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4403440684689The ransomware used is a variant of REvil and has been known to target backup systemsWith this background information out the way, many in the infosec community have been debating the best defence against these kinds of threats and one suggestion posed had me interested. These platforms

Good day… We’re a small MSP with a cloud environment of about 120 VMs mostly on HyperV (our target platform) with perhaps 40% still on VMware. We run a 10Gbps core with Veeam running on a dedicated server, sub-interfaces into each customer network for guest interaction and 12 14TB spindles behind a MegaRaid 9361-8i controller. We use a separate set of 12 2TB disks for our internal systems. We’re on the hook for 90 days of backups per SLA and the last set offsite (we try to keep at least the last 30 days, but we’ve been adjusting this). We’re running on an older generation server with 2 Xeon 2620 v2’s (6C @ 2.1), 96GB of RAM and REFs on the repos. We’ve tried using 1TB of cachecade on the MegaRaid, but the size seems too small and it actually hurts us on performance. We’ve turned it off for now.We have been struggling to keep up with our backup workloads, despite the box seeming to be okay from a resource perspective at the OS level. We’re right at the concurrent process limits based on
