SOBR capacity tier encryption - who does the job?

One option to have encrypted date in the capacity tier is to enable capacity tier encryption.Encryption for Capacity Tier - User Guide for VMware vSphere (veeam.com)Question is: who exactly does this encryption?I always assumed the gateway server is used for offloading. But helpcenter isn’t specific here. Elsewhere helpcenter states that the encryption will be done “at source” - which in that case would be the repo extent server of the performance tier.Who can provide evidence here? Thanks,Michael

Design Veeam backup server in DR scenarios

I am working on a backup and recovery design for a customer who have an Active-Active data centers and VMs are replicated both ways. For e.g. Few VMs replicated from DC1 --> DC2 and some from DC2 → DC1.Customer has a physical server in each DC for backup storage. My initial design was to deploy the Backup server and backup repo to be installed on the same physical host in each DC. Have Backup and CDP proxies configured as VMs on the VMware clusters to replicate and backup VMs. However, while discussing the same with the Veeam services architect, his recommendation was to deploy only a single Veeam backup server and have a backup repo in each DC. Replicate the Veeam backup server to DC2. In case DC1 is lost, recover the Backup server VM on Dc2 and then restore or recover other VMs. What are your suggestions? Which option is better? Is there another option? Thanks,Sudhir

DataDomain: Convert non-Immutable to Immutable MTrees without pain

Hi,Anybody aware of a migration path to shift from a DataDomain without immutability to Immutable MTrees on the same box ? I guess the only way is to create a new repo and chain… and make some good calculations on free space to keep it in the same box.

Cost Impact- Veeam Backup to direct Azure Blob COLD TIER Storage

Team, Using VBR V12- I’m directly pushing the data to Azure Blob COLD TIER (min 90days retention) storage. In Veeam Backup Job settings-  defining 7 Days retention, weekly once Full, Monthly once Full.Will these retention impacts COLD TIER Cost? How it impacts? What type of impacts?Suggest the opinion based on above subject and below notes. Note: Maintaining the retention 7days so the backup chain will be forming and removing data from COLD TIER Azure Blob COLD TIER have 90days min retention and costs for earlier deletion@Rick Vanover @Kristen225 @Melissa @Veeam User @Veeam Administrator @VEEAM_Legend @VEEAM NOVICE @VeeamDream

Full Storage Not Found - How I resolved this error

I wanted to create this in the hopes that in the future, someone who is experiencing this error will find this thread and see a solution. I randomly had a backup start throwing the below error:Failed to pre-process the job Error: One or more errors occurred.  Unable to apply retention policy: failed to delete backup files Error: Full storage not foundThrough some Google searching, all I could really find was to run an Active Full and start a new backup chain. I tried this, but the error still persisted. At this point, I did the only other thing I knew to do, so I told Veeam to delete the restore points for that job from disk, and I then ran a new active full. I essentially started over with a fresh dataset. I was able to get a successful backup after this.In conclusion: if you ever run into this issue, try running a new active full. If this does not resolve your issue, go to your restore points (the Disk section in VBR), and tell Veeam to delete from disk all of those restore points fo

Unable to quiesce VM for backup possible due to Event ID 157

There is one VM in our prod environment that I am unable to backup due to unable to quiesce the VM. I looked at the event log of the machine and found out Event ID 157 and Event ID 15 started occurring same time the backup started failing. Looks like there are phantom disks seen by the OS. Device Manager shows 2 drives and this is correct. I have storage migrated the VM but the error keeps on occurring meaning it is with the VM itself. System scan (sfc) not showing any error.  What are your thoughts on this?

Azure Archive appliance low speed

Hello Community,I successfully deployed SOBR ( Performance > Capacity > Archive). The archive tier is in Azure. For the archive tier, I am experiencing that the speed of moving backups from the archive to the capacity tier is 50MB/s. I selected a high-capacity VM in the VBR, specs are below however the speed does not exceed more than 50MB/s. Size - Standard F8s v2vCPUs - 8RAM - 16 GiBSo I have a question for the community is 50MB/s is usual speed for Azure archive appliance? If not than what is your recommendation to increase the transfer speed.If I use private endpoints,  will it assist in increasing the speed? I am currently communicating via public IP.

SAP migration to new HW

Hi all, a customer with a physical node with SLES for SAP needs to migrate the system to new hardware.Unfortunately I don't have much experience on SAP, and not much information on OS and software versions at the moment either.The OS is installed on local disks of the node, while the db data resides on external storage (SAN).Is it suggested to use VAL to migrate via volume restore?What are the caveats and/or points to watch out for?Can application consistency be achieved?ThanksMarco S.

Malware Detected points to the location of the files but the location is empty.

Hello All.About 5-10 years we were hacked and had ransomware. Installed the latest edition of Veeam and with the malware detection enabled. It now found 20 instances. Some are pointing to certain directories and I can recognize the names of the files and they have the .wallet extension (this appears to be from the old hack I had) when I go to the location of the folder and enable show all files and folders I still do not see these files listed.  I therefore deleted the entire folder (it was junk anyways) and today a day later it detected the same malware in the folder that was deleted yesterday.   I’m trying to figure out how this is detecting items in folders i erased.  Anything tips?

SANS and Servers have been ordered!

Hi All. How many of you are using Linux Repositories in your own production environments? Is there any thing you would change or do differently right now?For those of you who have made the switch did you notice any performance differences? I have many SAN’s arriving my way in the next few weeks. Many PB’s of storage.  For Veeam I’m going to be using NVMe flash at our production.  We want the ability to run a good amount of prod from backups for labs, testing, fast recovery in a critical event.  I also have tape jobs running air gapped copies at multiple sites. . .  For DR, it’s less common to run out there so it’s not going to be quite as fast on the storage side.  As I’m using SAN’s, I need to attach servers. Currently with Windows servers things have been great, but the idea of immutable storage is nice.   This gives me an opportunity to potentially change 1 or both sites even to Linux . Currently now I have an all in 1 setup at each site.  It actually works good, but running Proxy,
