Veeam One: adding M365 server in AWS – No data collection

Hi all,today I checked and solved a Veeam One issue during Veeam M365 data collection.This is the scenario:1 Veeam M365 in AWS cloud with its DNS_HOSTNAME 1 Veeam One customer on-premIn Task and Events tab I see the error:Fired by event: VeeamEventCollectionFailedEventEvent description: Failed to collect events data for object AWS_HOSTNAME. The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)Initiated by: Veeam ONE Monitor (ONESERVER-NAME)The RPC service is running on both hosts.From the ONE server I can ping the DNS_HOSTNAME and telnet on needed ports are ok (Firewall is ok).Why I’ve bolded DNS_Hostname?Because it’s different from AWS_HOSTNAME. This difference cannot permit to use RPC connection and start collection data.What’s my solution?Added AWS_HOSTNAME in host file on Veeam ONE server with DNS IP Address and collection starts properly.I hope this solution can help someone.

Unable to create recovery media with Community Edition 12.1

Hi, built a new home server just in time to test the new 12.1 Community Edition. Everything seems to work fine except I can’t seem to create a usb recovery stick. When I click on Recovery Media, I get an error message that says “Cannot find backup file for <Server Name>”. I’ve created a backup on this server and it finished successfully. Anyone else run into this issue?Thanks!

Backup Service Not Starting

After doing a cold boot of the host server, the Veeam backup service has failed to run or come back online. When trying to connect through the client we receive the error message of “No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:9392”After checking the logs, we’ve found an error stating that it failed to fetch logical page (1:21805) in database 5 failed. It belongs to allocation unit 72057594191544320 not to 72057594190823424

Removing stale vcenter server from enterprise manager

I have an install of Enterprise Manager that is still referencing an old vcenter server that does not exist any longer. Of course, I can’t just right click it and remove it, since it doesn’t exist anymore, so I was wondering what procedure I can follow to remove this stale vcenter server from my Enterprise Manager. Thank you

Tape job issues if job can't complete in time

So I have an issue. We backup to disk (a Data Domain, in our case), and from there, copy to tape. So I have 2 jobs - a backup job that writes to the DD, and a tape job (set as secondary target). Backup job is set to make an active full once a week (usually on a Friday), and the other days are incrementals. Pretty standard so far.My issue: on the weekend, we ran out of blank tapes in the library. I had to cancel the running tape job (which was trying to write out the Friday FULL backup). I got some new blanks, and loaded them. But the Monday tape job went to write out the (missed) Friday FULL backup, instead of just doing the Monday incremental. The FULL job is like 4 TB, no way it will finish in time before the next night’s incremental backup will start up. I had to change the scheduled start to “Not scheduled”, just so it would have enough time to finish (else it would have been interrupted by that evening’s incremental job). I don’t want to hold the source backup job - I want it to w

S3 Task internal parallelism?

If I’m reading the docs correctly, Object Storages (Direct or SOBR) use one Task per backup chain.These backups create MANY files. It looks like I can limit the maximum concurrent Tasks for an S3 compatible backup, essentially limiting the number of concurrent backups.I am, however, interested in increasing the speed of one very large backup. I see many small objects are created. At least in the case of SOBR, I assume that the data has already been deduped and compressed, and that and some sort of Task parallelism is happening during offloading. Is this correct, and is there any way to increase the parallelism or number of Tasks used during SOBR offload and/or direct backup?

Veeam SQL Agent Access Denied Error

Keeping your Veeam Hardened Repository safe and secure for up to 10 years

What and why?The Veeam Hardened Repo (VHR) is definitely in my top 10 list of product features. However, as with any IT system, having it in place means that it needs to be maintained. Veeam's own components are maintained by Veeam during patches or upgrades. With the initial release of 12.1, updating a VHR is still a partly manual task. You will need to enable SSH to do this. Cumulative Update 1 to 12.1 should allow us to update the Veeam services without having to enable SSH: https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/upgrade-of-vbr-to-12-1-with-hardened-repo-t91251.htmlBut there is more to it than that! The Linux underneath also needs to be maintained. Update your Linux underneathFor example, as Ubuntu is one of the recommended distributions to use with a VHR, this is of course easily achieved through its package management system APT.We always recommend using LTS releases. With those you immediately get 5 years of update support after their initial release date. For 20.04

VEEAM 9.5 and VMWARE 8

Good morning, I'm trying to install VEEAM 9.5 on a WINDOWS 10 that is virtualized in VMWARE 8, but at the time of installation it gives me a certificate error with ID 110, according to KB2137, I would have to contact VEEAM support, the guy who helped me couldn't solve it, so I came to the community to see if anyone had experienced this problem. With VEEAM 10 AND VEEAM 12 we were able to install but 9.5 generates this error, but I need Veeam 9.5 because the others do not accept VCENTER 5.1, another detail when I install VEEAM 9.5 on VMWARE 6.7 it works correctly.

SureBackup Lite (Scan Backup) coming to VBN AHV 5.1 with VDP 12.1.

A much awaited feature request is coming to Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV 5.1. This will require Veeam Backup and Replication 12.1. It is the ability to scan backups with SureBackup. This will not be the full blown version like the vSphere edition with Data Labs capabilities but it is a good start. The need to protect your restore points from malware and ransomware attacks it a must. Customers can no longer wait for an infection to happen. As you see in the headlines when attacks happen, these could have already been dormant in the company for some time. I heard this time and time again. It just takes one time for a bad actor to be successful but you have to be correct one hundred percent of the time. SureBackup allows for scanning backups utilizing your antivirus software or Yara rules. If you search google this is what you will find as a definition for Yara - Yet Another Ridiculous Acronym. Veeam Data Platform 12.1 will bring radical resilience to assist in a time of need. If you are

Upgraded 12.1 with previously installed ISO for Veeam Hardened Repository?

I built a Hardened Repository using the ISO provided here many months ago. Very happy with it, until I decided to upgrade Veeam to 12.1. Now it wants to update components on the Hardened Repository end or it will no longer be usable, which it can’t. Is there a workflow to deal with this or do I have to start all over again on the Hardened Repository side?

Trying to do bare metal restore of Windows server from one ESXi host to another.

I have a basic question. I am using VMWare ESXi Free license and the Free Veeam Backup. Was using just the Windows Agent for a long time but am now using the Backup and Recovery 12. I have an OLD ESXi host running a Windows 2012 Essentials server, and a new ESXi host I am transferring it to for legacy purposes. For Testing I originally just copied the Virtual Machine files to the new box, registered the VM and that worked. When I finally decided to actually move the machine I tested by restoring a backup from Veeam windows agent to the VM as a bare metal recovery. This worked the first time, and the second time. I was testing on the weekends after hours so there was a week between. The next week I decided to actually do it following the procedure that had been successful previously. The restore said it completed successfully, but the server would not boot normally and went to the Recovery Console. It apparently had problems with the active directory database.I tried this several more t
