Manage tape

Hello, I would like some advice about tape management and what do you use as “tape name on label” ? I’m using only GFS media pool and export them offline as soon as they are used with different retention (14days for daily, 4 week for weekly, 12month for monthly and 2 years for yearly). Thanks for your answer.

Azure VM - VRO, VB&R using Enterprise app to connect to subscription

Hi,I currently have 2 Veeam servers, one is on-prem and one is an Azure VM. I’m trying to link Veeam to my Azure subscription so it can see storage which contains my backups. I have created an enterprise application in azure for this. In VB&R I then need to created an Azure compute account to link Veeam to Azure. For my on-prem server this is possible and I am successfully able to connect Veeam to Azure by adding the credentials. I did originally have issues, where by I was using a systems proxy - which would fail the connection, however if I added the proxy server in Edge, this would then work.Next I logged onto my Azure VM with VRO installed and went to follow the same process. I have added the proxy in both “netsh winhttp” system proxy as well as Edge. I cannot get the application to work. When I run wireshark, it looks like the Azure VM is bypassing any sort of proxy setting and trying to get directly to Azure.My question is, has anyone had the same issue, is it even possible t

Upgrade 11 to 12.1 and immutable settings

Hello,We are planning to upgrade veeam from V11.0.x to 12.1.x, but on current installation (V11) we have configured Linux repository with immutable settings. But in V12 we see that there is Linux - (no immutable settings) and Linux as Hardened Repository i(or something like that with immutable settings) . Question, do we lose immutable settings after migration and there will be need to create new repo with immutable settings ?? Thanks,

Netapp Volumes or Shares ?

I have an Netapp A900. Volumes have a lot of shares in them. Adding shares individually would be tedious. So the question is, can I add the entire volume to a NAS job and then Veeam will protect all shares within the volume ?

Veeam is not using all available tape drives in library; why?

I have a tape library with 4 drives. Veeam seems to be only using 2 of them. For example, right now I see all 4 drives - 1 is writing to 1 tape job, a 2nd is writing to another tape job, the other 2 drives are sitting, showing “idle”. Yet I have 5 more tape backup jobs sitting in queue, all showing status “0% completed”. Why isn’t Veeam writing some of those jobs to those 2 idle drives? I do have a setting on each tape job to limit it to no more than 2 drives, because I don’t want any 1 job to monopolize all tape drives. But Veeam seems to think that means to use only 2 drives *total*, not per-job. Have I missed some setting? Or set something wrong? I have a lot of data to write to tape every night, and more to come. In fact, I am waiting on 2 more tape drives, for a total of 6. But Veeam isn’t utilizing all the drives in the library. I did ask Tech Support, while I was troubleshooting another tape issue, but I never got a response to this question.Anyone? I feel it has to be something

Tape Configuration Issues

Tape issues, Hey guys, I have been round and round with support and we are not getting far I have 28 tapes in my tape library and VEEAM sees them and reads them, but they are only showing 107gb free of 107gb total storage.  These are 30tb LTO8 drives and the systems UI itself shows the drives are 100% clear thoughts on what else I could try? I have done everything using the itdt.exe tool and still no luck    Thanks in advance
