Hello friends, Can Veeam perform a file level backup by specific file name prefix? If a file starts with dept1 across all servers, then Backup only those files to repository X.If a file starts with dept2 across all servers, then Backup only those files to repository Y. Our retention policy require us to keep specific files for a short period of time while other files for a longer period of time. There are several file servers with TBs of data to backup this way. Is this even possible? Any feed backup would be appreciated. Thanks, Derek

I recall from one of the recent Veeam R&D Forums Digest newsletters that Reverse Incremental for Hyper-V is being removed or has been removed in VBR.  This is useful for sending full backups to Tape, otherwise we have to do synthetic full to Tape (heavy use of virtual memory for our TB-sized backups) or create a synthetic .VBK (use more disk space).Which VBR version did Veeam start doing this?  Luckily still on 9.5I feel like Hyper-V is getting short-changed ... 

Hi All,I have 3 destinations for my backup and it’s all in the same network. I would like to secure my last copy of my backup. I have multiple possibility.Second internet connection and qnap sync with ACLQnap backup SSHVLAN and Qnap backup sshWhat do you prefed and for why ?I have 200Mpbs for the second internet connection and my second vlan is on the other building with 100 mbps mpls.I would like to have a backup outside of my first building.Thanks you

Hi, A feature I believe would be extremely useful would be scheduling SureBackup around the completion of a Backup Copy Job. Backup Copy Jobs aren’t scheduled the same as usual jobs so I understand the additional complexity around this however the reason for my request is simple.One of SureBackup’s primary limitations is Disk IO, if we create a SureBackup job to run after a backup job is complete, a Backup Copy Job could then start consuming IO to transmit this backup to an archive tier, Cloud Connect or to some other secondary repository. This creates contention for IO with SureBackup, impacting the ability to validate virtual machines.A key example of this behaviour is when VMware Tools fails to start within the traditional 30 seconds (I’m aware of registry keys that can amend this behaviour, but it’s just one example). If we could chain either BCJ’s to run after a backup is validated (so we know we’re copying good data firstly) or even inversely whereby we run SureBackup after the c

As you know, we need a name for this cat There were a lot of suggestions from you across all social media channels, so we put together a shortlist, a poll for community members to choose the best name.  

Although there is a lot of great content out there, sometimes you may just be stuck and not sure what your next steps should be.I’ve been planning some YouTube live Q&A/Study group sessions and wanted to check if there would be any interest in such a format from the good folks here? 

Hi, Hopefully I’m not alone in my wishing of this but I believe that Veeam need to adopt an MFA offering for their sign in systems. The amount of services covered by the Veeam single sign on is increasing and there are some services that would really benefit from the increased security such as the ProPartner portal. Also I’m interested to hear everyone’s experience with the “keep me signed in” setting for Veeam. I don’t find it keeps me signed in longer than a day on average. MFA + keep me signed in for 14/28 days would be awesome improvements this year IMO.

Is it possible in the future releases to see Veeam B&R appliance? physical or virtual?

A very interesting feature in Veeam Backup for Office 365.You can get an email alert when data from defined users is accessed in VBO V5.I think this would be a great feature for the “normal” Exchange backup, too.https://benyoung.blog/get-a-notification-when-restricted-user-data-is-accessed-in-veeam-backup-for-office365/ Thanks to Ben Young for the detailled description.

In VBR v11 v11 there are several improvements on User Interface –Console And Enterprise Manager But are you using all the features that Enterprise Manager has?One of them In v11 there will SAML For vSphere Self-Service Portal•Added support for SAML accounts (e.g. at service providers)•External users and groups•Group quotas have usual behavior•Delegation mode: vSphere tags  

I just wanted to post about my upcoming book for those that might be interested in learning about Veeam v10.  The book is title - Mastering Veeam Backup & Replication 10 from Packt Publishing.  It is in pre-order now on Packt and Amazon. It will cover some of the more advanced topics in Veeam v10 and requires some knowledge.  It will be a great reference for anyone wanting to learn more about Veeam. If you have any questions just let me know.  The publishing date is noted for March 9th but I have fast tracked the chapters which are all done now so that we can move the date up sooner to February timeframe hopefully.  I can post more news once I have some. Pre-Order Links: Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Veeam-Backup-Replication-environment-ebook/dp/B08QZRXMSC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2N5O91R64JGSL&dchild=1&keywords=veeam+10&qid=1610123247&sprefix=veeam+%2Caps%2C273&sr=8-1 Packt - https://www.packtpub.com/product/mastering-veeam-backup-replication-10/978183898044

Please share, as per your experience the best backup target for the repository.

hi alli make sure username and accont and turn off firewall 

Just read a excellent and very comprehensive article about VMware vSphere VM quiescing. This is the necessary process - within a VM - to get a consistent status of the guest OS (especially virtual disk) and applications. So VM gets quiesced before vSphere snapshot is created. Because VBR uses (like I think any other backup software vendor) vSphere snapshots for backup/replication, I thought this article would be interesting to share. It is definitely worth reading and I highly recommend to do so!https://blog.zuthof.nl/2020/11/26/vsphere-vm-quiescing-essentials/Here a short overview:What is quiescing? Consistency options Non-quiesced Crash consistent Quiesced File-system consistent Application consistent  Interfaces Veeam uses Network (RPC) vSphere VIX Usage in Windows VSS Script Linux Script Quiescing impact on app recovery Transaction Logs Quiescing impact on performance Snapshot based Impact because of vSphere

Hi allwhen i try to delete backup repository failed to delete  

I have a performance tier on a scale-out of several repositories and a capacity tier on object storage. I copy backups to object storage as soon as they are created so I can have a disaster recovery in case a repository failed irremediably.What is the best practice to restore the whole data of a repository starting from data in object storage? 

I am using VEEAM community on my cell phone often, especially in the evenings When I want to write an comment on my cell phone there are few functions avaliable only…On my PC the comment window has a whole bunch more functions.So it would be a huge improvement for me when the available functions were equal on all plattforms… What do you think?

Hi!I need to select in Powershell all backup jobs that do not have a backup copy associated yet.They are vCloud backup jobs.The complete task, just to give you a better understanding, involves checking if every backup job on a pre-filled list (not all backup jobs are on the list) has a backup copy.I’m looking for a properties  or anything else you could suggest. Thanks in advance 

Hey guys!As promised, I’m starting a Friday Funday thread! This is completely and totally off topic space. Let’s share Christmas pics, decorations, trees, first snow, and everything around New Year and Christmas theme!   

Something new is comming in Veeam v11Register here and be the first to know when it's available 🤓https://go.veeam.com/v11 

I often don’t have the time to look at certain topics. So, it would be great if the community had a read me later or bookmarking feature, besides the possibility to subscribe to topics. The subscription list doesn’t quite fit this task as it will get messy over the time.

So, I’m going to be working on rebuilding our repos to be Linux repos to leverage the new security in V11.If you were going to build a repo for 15 TB drives running on VSphere 6.7. Ubuntu. These will provide back up copies to 5 customers each. I can look at what the specs are but I want to know what you all think. Thanks all :)
