Explorer for Sharepoint - The specified database cannot be opened on this OS

Hi all,I’ve been using Veeam backup for 365 for a while now and every now and again I get the error ‘the specified database cannot be opened on this OS version when I try to open the adb backup in the Sharepoint explorer tool.  I seem to remember I did the backup on Windows 10, and have tried to restore on Windows 10 and also Windows 11 but I still get the same error. The error is not particularly helpful and doesn’t actually specify what the issue is.  Does anyone know what this issue is or how I can possibly resolve it? As it stands I’m not able to open the backups which is causing a big headache.  Thanks Dan

CDP setup with VMware vCloud Director incompatible storage policy

We have an existing Veeam environment as a service provider and using Cloud Connect.  With this we currently host cloud backups and replication for tenants, which works fine.  We also have VMware vCloud Director integrated. We are just now implementing CDP into this same environment.  When CDP is installed into the environment, Veeam creates a new storage policy in vSphere named “Veeam CDP Replication”.  This storage policy has a requirement defined to “enable host based rules”, and the single rule that is enabled is “Replication” and Provider veecdp, which is the I/O filter name. For reasons I cannot work out as of yet, this storage policy will only see one of our datastores as compatible, and this datastore happens to be the local direct attached storage of one of the ESXi hosts in the cluster, not storage on both hosts.  All other datastores show as incompatible.  Our other datastores that I would like to use are NFS volumes on Linux hosts.  I have set this up in a lab and demo envi

B&R Console takes forever to come up on the actual B&R server, but not on workstations ...

I hope someone can help me. I manage my B&R server by installing the console on my Win 10 workstation. That’s all fine, it takes the B&R Console some seconds to come up, but it does. But on the desktop of the actual B&R server itself, if I try and bring the console app up, it will take forever  - at the moment, I’ve been waiting 20 minutes. The console application came up on my workstation in a few seconds, but still hasn’t come up on the desktop of the server.And I’m not sure why. It can’t be a firewall issue, it will eventually come up (or used to - it’s been a long time since I actually tried to use the console app directly on the server). I see no error messages, just the warning that it’s taking longer than expected to happen. The server itself is running fine - all jobs are executing as expected. It’s just the console app not coming up on the desktop of the server. I have no problems using the console my my workstation, I can create jobs, run jobs, do backups, do rest

Onion Links detected -Identifying suspicious files

We have enabled malware scanning,  and We got a warning that some of the servers has some potential malware detection.Specifically "Onion Links". I enabled inline entropyI took a look a the full logs of the scan on mount server C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\Malware_Detection_Logs , and only the logs for windows machine appear here,  however, as confirmed by Veaam's support, scanning backups for Linux machines are not supported at this time. So Linux VM logs are missing. When you click the malware detection event, there's nothing nor paths in the details.I equally checked c:\VBRCatalog\Index\Machines\Affected-Linux-VM\ransonwareidx , but i still cannot identify what files or path-to-Files.How can i scan our Linux machines to determine the paths to the files of the Onion links malware detected? I would like to identify what files are being flagged as malware so i can "mark clean" if need be.Any help regarding this please and thank you

how to partition hardened repository

Hi, There may be a doc out there but I have not found it.I am looking to deploy a new hardened repository. It seems the ISO is not available. I am not so concerned about the deployment steps as much as getting the disk partitioning setup correctly. I see Ubuntu version 20, but also people moving to 22 and version 24 is now available.  What version are people using running Veeam version 12.2? I have a base deployment on 24 right now. I see some that go with the wizard and let the setup make the disk partition decisions.  I have a server with 24 SSD disks and looking to create a raid 10 with 2 disks for the boot and OS etc. and the a raid 6 with the 22 disks. One doc has numerous volumes based on this comment. “If you want to align with security best practices (e.g. CIS Benchmarks), then partitioning is a bit more complex.”That article is here: https://www.veeam.com/blog/installing-ubuntu-linux-veeam-hardened-repository.htmlI created disks based on the article but not confident I have th

CDP & VDRO

Hi all, having studying both CDP and VDRO a bit, I know the former is focusing on data protection with continuous restore points; while the latter focus on DR automation likes Re-IP and VM bootup priority setting.- can I conclude both CDP and VDRO are required for a complete DR solution?- any use case only CDP is required or just VDRO is required?- if our customer ask about CDP restore point keeping 24hrs is long enough, could I say those VMs are still being protected by backup?

Permission Denied when trying to add another Hardened Repository to the Backup Repositories.

I was able to setup and add/use the initial disk to the Backup Repositories. However, I’m thinking, it we reach the maximum drive size, we would need to add a second immutable disk to the Backup Repositories. In doing so, I encountered the following error:Since this is a different mount point, I’m assuming it should work. I tried re-adding the veeamuser (username used to add the original immutable disk) to sudo group and reset the password but still unable to add the 2nd immutable disk to the Backup Repo. My objective is to create an immutable SOBR that would allow adding disks as needed.What do you think am I missing here? Thanks

Why one of my Backup copy jobs start 2 days after full backup is done

Hi, We have several backup copy jobs. Some do copy to tapes, some to NAS and some to object repository. All of them are in a continuous running state; if a backup file is available, it will be copied. The issue we're facing is that the backup job using the object repository works well during incremental backups, but it waits for two days before starting the copy when it's a full backup. This is a significant delay that we need to address. Let’s say the full backup is finished on Saturday at 3 am, and I can see the .vbk file exists. All other backup copy jobs finish copying that file before Sunday noon, but the one with the object storage repository doesn’t even start before Monday afternoon. Does anyone have any idea why it could be happening? Thank you

Veeam Inline Entropy Analysis Checks

Hello everyone,Veeam Inline Entrophy analysis feature checks if any encryption has started on VMs. Does this feature additionally perform text analysis with onion links and AI/ML? In other words, is it enough to scan the backup it received to perform these analyses or should the guest index file be open in the relevant backup job and the credentials of the machine should be entered?

immutability/S3/Object lock.

We currently have our S3 retention set to 60 days. When I look at restoring from S3, it consists of all incrementals, with a full backup sitting at 61 days.Question 1: If we set our immutability to 30 days, wouldn’t we be at risk of our full backup being corrupted since it’s outside the 30-day window?Question 2: The formula for S3 storage is retention + immutability + block generation (30 days). So if we set retention to 60 days, immutability to 30 days, and S3 block generation to 30 days, would that give us 120 days of retention? Could we restore from 120 days back?Essentially, we are looking to ensure 30 days of immutability and need guidance on configuring that correctly.

StoreOnce and S3 - image-level backup copies

customer on veeam v12.2. They have storeonce at both sites and S3 at site2.With backup copy at storage level (catalyst), Veeam controls the copy via the storeonce appliances performing the replication.If I choose image-level backup copy, this gives options for VMs and repos to copy. We also have “data transfer” for Direct. When it says direct is this storeonce to storeonce like storage level copy or does data go via another route?I need to know if there are considerable differences. thanks

Veeam B&R CE - Starting from scratch with v12

Hello!I’m currently running VBR CE v11.0.0 on Windows Server 2012 R2.  We are only backing up a total of 4 VMs.My initial task was to move a couple of the backups to a new backup repository.  But, the ‘move’ functionality apparently isn’t available in v11.  Rather than try to upgrade our current instance of Veeam, I’d like to just install a the newest version of VBR CE on a new instance of Windows Server.My question is: Keeping in mind the difference in versions, should I be able to take a backup of the DB config and import it to the new Veeam install as suggested here?  If the difference in versions is an issue, what’s the best way forward?Once I have a new instance up-and-running, the ability to move the backups to new repositories should be available, I believe.Please let me know if I can provide additional information.Thanks!
