How do you bond/team NICs in Linux?

This topic is not directly related to Veeam. But because of the Veeam Hardened repositories running on Linux, this is also an topic for Veeam.Do you prefer bonding or teaming?https://ngelinux.com/difference-between-bonding-and-teaming-in-linux/https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/networking_guide/sec-comparison_of_network_teaming_to_bondingWith bonding, which mode do you prefer?https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/networking_guide/overview-of-bonding-modes-and-the-required-settings-on-the-switchI personally preferred bonding with ALB. But lately I have heard more and more about problems with this mode.What are your experiences with this topic?

Backup of Deleted User but mailbox/OneDrive still exist (for 30 days)

Just a quick question...I was tasked with restoring OneDrive data from an account for a client that apparently left and the user was deleted, but someone else was accessing the OneDrive data while the user account was still in the Deleted Users status/folder, but once the 30 days elapsed, that data was purged.  This client is currently being backed up by Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud backup (until I get those folks moved over to Veeam) but I noticed that the last backup of the data was before the user account was deleted.  Makes sense, but I hadn’t considered that their OneDrive would even be accessible by the other users during that time period if the user/mailbox had been marked as deleted.So my question is, if a user account is marked deleted, does VB365 still backup the deleted mailbox/OneDrive (or can it even do so - assuming that you had that user explicitly specified or had the job set to backup the entire organization, etc) until Microsoft purges that data?  I imagine I can test thi

Backup Job Scheduling & Storage Capacity Sizing

Dear All, we have following data protection requirement, so looking forward for your guidance for creating a Backup & retention policy. File Server - at present we have 5TB files & folders currently backing up using Veeam. The requirement is that we need a 36 months of retention period of data and the backup job should run every 1 hour. The objective is to restore any file or folder with in the period of 3 years. VM Backup with at least 2 restore points with daily incremental and weekly full. Thank you in advance

Restoring backups from tape without Management Server?

Hello everyone! I am building brand new VEEAM environment. The plan is to have Management Server as virtual machine as well as proxy servers. Physical components are: Immutable repository, Tape Server+Tape library, SANs. I got stack with the point of restoring environment in case of main management server is not available (ransomware attack, whole virtual environment is down, including SANs). I still have backups on tapes. Maybe on Immutable repository. I was going to backup Management server configuration to repository on Tape Server . And Tape server itself periodically to external hard drive. So as a starting point  we have healthy Tape server + backup of the configuration can be used.What will the the steps to recover the environment? Cheers,

Cohesity Immutable snapshots and DataLock with Veeam Backup

Greetings,Below is a part of Cohesity's multi-layered protection against a ransomware attack as mentioned in the Cohesity datasheet, there is a document for best practices when configuring carving regular repositories and/or SOBR from Cohesity to the Veeam Server and this is can be done over SMB or NFS protocols. my question is if we followed these best practices, can we leverage Immutable snapshots and Datalock from Cohesity with Veeam Backup?  also I read this on Reddit:

Would you like dark mode for community?

Hi all,would you like a setting for a dark mode on the community side?Dark mode means dark background of the site and bright writing. I have switched to dark mode in many applications in the last time, because it's much more relaxed for my eyes when using the PC and/or phone the whole workday.What do you think? Does this make sense for this community site? Seems that you cannot add a poll after creating a topic.So I will count the positive and negative reactions in the comments by hand and update here 😎11 pro dark mode 2 contra dark mode 2 undecided

Deletion of old backup copies after removing individual computer/deleting or disabling the backup job - Agent managed

Hi All,Currently we are using Agent managed backup jobs. When we perform the decommission of backup jobs/remove a computer/workstation from backup job/rotation, we have to keep track of the retention of deleted computer/job manually and to remove the backup copies from ‘Disk(Orphaned)’/’Disk(Imported)’ . We have also enabled the ‘Remove deleted items data after’ parameter. But still we could see some scenarios were we want to delete the backup copies manually. My expectation is Veeam to delete the backup copies automatically once it crosses the set retention (even after the job/computer is removed from backup rotation). Is there a way to achieve it?

Veeam Instant recovery for Agent based backups

Hi All, Currently we do an Instant recovery from the ‘Entire Computer’ backup taken by Veeam agent, it goes for P2V conversion. Once the instant recovery completes, when we initiate ‘Migrate it to Production’ (may be to VMware Hypervisor using dedicated proxy which can handle 4 concurrent tasks. But it seems Veeam is treating the restore as single task and the number of VMDK files/Disk associated with the restored VM is migrated one by one which prolongs the RTO. Is there a way to consider each VMDK file as separate task (which will allow for parallelism) during the entire VM restore (using instant recovery method and ‘Migrate it to Production’)?

Ok need help here. ZERTO VS VEEAM CDP

Hi Folks, I am making a plan to try and get Veeam CDP introduced. I have used Zerto but have only used Veeam CDP in labs so far. Does anyone here have production experience with both? I am not looking for a “just boost Veeam” answer 😁. I love Veeam but honesty is always best so if there a things that still need working on with Veeam CDP no issues.

Backup Health Check

Now this is just for my own curiosity. When Backup Jobs complete, Veeam runs Health Checks on the backup files to check for any corruption on the vbks. What happens if the VBR server goes offline whilst a Health Check job was in progress? Does it carry on from where it left off, or does it start the whole process again?Additionally, would it affect the vbk files in any way?

Poll : immutable object storage appliances

Hi all,This week no top-10 or top-15 or a best practice from me, but a poll this time ;-)Since object-storage is more and more interesting for putting backups onto, I want to implement object-storage appliances using SOBR capacity tier at our biggest customers and also on our VCC infrastructure. This especially for having an airgapped/immutable copy of the primary backups.Requirements it must meet, are : it has to be IMMUTABLE object-strorage, so implementing the object-lock functionality it needs to be VEEAM READY (must be on the list Veeam Alliance Partner Technical Programs) it has to be an appliance (so no need to use Linux CLI, but just a user-friendly web-interface, an all-in-one box, all included) easy scalable cost-effectiveI think on Cloudian, Nutanix and Quantum object storage appliances.What is your personal expericence with those and others regarding : cost-effective? easy scalable - modular? what is the minimum setup? number of appliances? what is the minimum storage? expe

Feature Request - Veeam Backup For Office365 Should Be Able To Do Intune Backups/Restores

Hi VeeamWe are using VeeamBackup For Office365 and we have daily jobs for Exchange Online mailboxes plus all of our SharePoint Online sites and our Teams data.  This is all good and its stable and reliable and restores are easy.  We are now starting to use Intune for device management of iPads and Windows10 laptops.  It would be a very good thing if Veeam could backup the Intune “environment”, such as the policies and apps and configurations.  At the moment, our Intune is completely unprotected from a mis-configuration or getting wiped out if a GA account is compromised.  I can’t even take a “snapshot” on the Intune environment before experimenting with new settings and new configurations.  I only have less than 100 devices in Intune but there must be orgs with potentially many hundreds or thousands of devices in Intune that don’t have backup protections in place.SignedCustomer who needs Intune backups

How do you monitor Hardened Repository hardware?

When it comes to Veeam Hardened Repository Server, we hopefully talk about a dedicated hardware server. Because of the high secure implementation of this feature it makes perfect sense to disable any additional attack surface. So it is highly recommended to disable platforms like HPE ilO and Dell iDRAC.On the other side, it is essential to monitor this piece of hardware. IMHO it is important not to open any incoming network ports for monitoring. Means, monitoring (agent, script, deamon, ...) should open a port from within the host to in external instance like mail-server, SNMP-host, syslog-server, … and closes it afterwards. Otherwise a service - most probably with root-permissions - is running and open for external access.So how did you implement hardware monitoring?

How does Veeam choose the proxy for backup

Hello guys , I was wondering if one of you know how Veeam selectionne a proxy when you leave the default option in automatic.Cause I have a remote site with a proxy deploy on my standalone ESX during the job is not my remote proxy that is used but my local one, so I let you imagine the backup performance.In my memory Veeam classifies the Proxies in groups : 1.SAN, 2.HotAdd and 3.NBD.Group 1 having the higher priority. If all proxy in group 1 are busy (max tasks used), Veeam switches to group 2. Group 3 is only used if groups 1 and 2 have no responding proxies.But in my case the remote proxy do absolutely nothing...Of course I changed the default settings to selectionne only this proxy in my job, but I curious to know the exact process.

Restore full mailbox with Veeam Explorer for Exchange - ID handling

If you want to restore a deleted Exchange mailbox (on-prem), you first have to create an empty mailbox within Exchange for the user. This has already been described earlier: https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/restore-deleted-mailbox-with-veeam-explorer-for-exchange-t16174.html Challenge is, while creating a new mailbox you also create a new ID for it. This leads to loosing some functionality (permissions to folders for 3rd parties etc., recurring appointments, etc.). Is there another known way to recover the mailbox including its original ID?I would rather have expected VEXE to create the mailbox for me while recovering - including all metadata.
