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 :)

See you soon!  UPD: Adding recording of the session for those who missed!   

Hello all,I’m trying to determine if Veeam B&R supports the IBM FlashSystem A9000 Storage for Storage Integration.  The Add Storage wizard only lists IBM Spectrum Virtualize and the Get Plug-in webpage doesn’t list any other IBM storage plug-ins.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  Thanks 

Hi, A feature I think would be great is to enable the Veeam vSphere plugin without requiring Enterprise Manager. Now we are on HTML5 people are looking for the “single pane of glass” experience. It would be great to see Veeam Protection information polled straight from Veeam B&R. Currently the enterprise manager requirement can put extra burden on infrastructures using default SQL Express for example.

Hello Veeam Community, What is the trend for you to build a good repository for a large company? I’m investigating for 2021 to replace our dedup appliance, i really like the HPE Apolo Gen10 to store veeeam data on xfs!One node full HDD 50k~ 960TB, 512 gb ram, 4*25gb, xeonOne node full SSD 250k ~ 600 TB, 512 gb ram, 4*25gb, xeonThe second is expansive but could be usefull for application but very low RTO and instant Recovery DB! I want to build something focus about restore, we’r no more dupe with xfs :)

I’ve just read about the release of Cumulative Patch 20201202 for VBR 10a in the forums and wanted to share it here: https://www.veeam.com/kb4050I think the support for vSphere 7.0 U1 and Windows 20H2 is what many people were waiting for.

Hello everyone,wouldn’t it be nice if we could see the duration of every backup job inside the Veeam Service Provider Console?I am pretty sure I could see this kind of information before in the following view, when the tool was still called Veeam Availability Console.I guess this is a feature that has been removed.What do you think? Daniele

Morning Guys, So like a lot of you we’ve been playing with Veeam Backup for Office 365 v5 and deploying the updates on our services and for our customers, we’re catching a bug fairly frequently that is having major consequences. The Veeam Repository isn’t able to upgrade, which is a requirement for the subsequent backups to run, causing immediate backup issues. We’ve engaged with Veeam support and been informed that there’s a hotfix, but that hotfix has also caused issues it appears and jobs are still failing to run. Just wanted to advise prior to everyone upgrading their productions, it might be worth waiting for a few more days… Thanks!

Here in South America is very common to find deduplication appliance without / with integration as primary backup repository...I would like to know what you think … 

 Hi all i have Problem to Connect Veeam to SharePoint Server to Restore Collection Site !i have Microsoft Hyper-V Are content:Windwows Server 2016 is Domain Conttrol and windows server 2016 is sharepoint 2016and Windows Server 2016 is Sql 2017 and veeam Server 9.5 u4 hosting at windows server 2016when i try to restore site collection appear falied to connect sharepoint server  

Veeam have just released Veeam O365 v5a.Release notes here:KB4078: Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 5.0 cumulative patch KB4078 If you followed my previous post regarding issues, we’re currently testing to see if this resolves them.(Veeam Backup for Office 365 V5 Show stopping bug | Veeam Community Resource Hub)

Any talk of adding this to config backup function? I know to add a file copy job for config db backups but an unnecessary step I think and always the risk of forgetting this?

New exciting features have been announced for upcoming version 11: CDP, Linux Proxy, etc…Customers quite often ask when a HTML Veeam console will be availbale...Once VBR has been upgraded, latest console is immediately available to be used and no need to install/update the console in every admin’s computer…Do we really need a HTML console for our daily duties?Maybe we don’t need it but it would be a nice feature to have...What do you think? 

Currently Cloud Connect doesn’t support direct backup CIFS share to this repository. Currently my workaround is;CIFS share > robo copy local > Veeam agent backup to Cloud Connect Is there an alternative? And will CIFS share backup will be supported in the near future directly to an Cloud Connect repository?
