Veeam Support response time

Hi, My last 2 cases are not going smooth with the Veeam support.My first case was regarding this topic and I did finally solved it myself. Then I get respons with the question how I did solved it!My new case posted 1st of aug is still in status new. Is it really because of the holidays, or are there under-staffed? I know, the severity is low, as it is not urgent, but normally I get a respons faster.The question I did ask them:My Veeam server is on a seperated VLAN, other than my ESXi servers. My storage is DirectSAN accessible. Only If I use Instant Recovery or SureBackup, the NFS mount to backup repository (local storage on server) is going over the Firewall, and I want to prevent that. So I did create on my ESXi another kernel adapter in the same lan of Veeam and yes, the connection with NFS running trough that kernel and the mount is successfully, I can even browse, but Veeam referring in the job to the NFS via FQDN what is on another IP and therefore fails as the ESXi is communicat

VSPC v7 upgrade issue

Hi guys, I’ve just updated Veeam Service Provider Console from v6 to v7 and I got a communication error during Web UI component upgrade.Web UI is installed on a different server and subnet than VSPC server component.I checked the open ports and they were correct.By opening all the ports between the Web UI and the server the installation went fine.Has this ever happened to you? is it possible that the documentation is wrong and something has changed from v6?Unfortunately, I did not check whether it used any other port than the one in the documentation. (TCP,UDP 1989) Thanks Marco S.

Configure backup notifications for Veeam Agent Linux

I’m trying to figure out how to get notifications sent via email when a backup has been successfully/unsuccessfully completed. It is on a Centos server. I looked around in the Veeam settings by opening up veeamconfig ui, but cannot find anything in the Linux version about setting up email notifications like the Windows version allows you to do. I have also looked into setting this up in crontab, but do not really know what to put in the script to send an email notification.

Can we do SOBR config , by selecting only performance tier repo and AWS Glacier repo . No capacity tier. If SOBR not possible then can we take primary backup on Local disk and backup copy to glacier repo.

Can you reconnect to an Azure blob storage to connect to the backups on it?

Our Azure blob storage was in the hands of another companies subscription. We’ve had that blob moved to our own subscription. Can we reconnect to a blob storage with a new path and still be able to use the backups? Will it pickup as imported object?

Newbie, Basic restore from .vbk file

Hi All,Apologies if I am asking in the wrong place, but using VBR V11 Community edition.I want to simulate a DR event. I have taken a Windows Agent → Entire computer full backup to a USB Drive.Now i want to restore just some files from this USB Backup to a new server ( where the same edition VBR is installed.From the USB Drive on the new server , double clicking on the .VBK file launches Veeam, but my concern is the following window just shows “Restore”. I Don’t want to overwrite the entire server from this backup? Does “Restore” actually start overwriting files, or does this proceed to show more options ( and would be better named “Next”, rather than “Restore” ) ??Many thanks in advance.

Checkpoint orphan, safe to delete?

I cannot expand a VM disk since the system is blocking this operation as for existing checkpoints.There’s no checkpoint within the chain in HyperV Manager, however some files exist on disk:I wonder if these are only some orphans created by VBR Comm. Ed., and if these can be safely deleted

How to manually install Agent to be used with Console

When I manually install Windows agent, it installs with GUI, thus I’m able to perform backups from that particular PC. But I need Agent to perform backups from B&R Console installed elsewhere. When I create the backup job from the Console, it makes a rescan of the PC with Agent installed, then does some ‘MSI packet repair’. So the Agent’s GUI disappears and Agent ‘transforms’ to the version compatible with Console.My question here is how can I at once install Agent to be used with Console? Is there some key can be used with MSI packet to directly install Consol-aware version of Agent?

Restore Veeam 11 to another server.

Hello,A customer is using a "scale-out" repository on a compatible S3 and has Veeam version 11. They want to perform a test to recover the data stored on S3 to a new Veeam server. However, Veeam does not support direct import of data from the S3 repository in a "scale-out" configuration. To work around this limitation, the chosen option is to restore the Veeam configuration to the new server.The question is whether it is possible to restore the configuration on Veeam version 12, and what limitations should be taken into consideration.Thank you.

Migrating Veeam to workstation?

We’ve been running VBR on a 2012 R2 server for a long time but it’s time to get off of 2012.Is there a reason to keep running Veeam on a server? We’ve grown over the years and I have started putting VBR on Windows 10 workstations for remote offices and that has worked well.Do we need need to keep VBR on a server or is it save to migrate this over to a workstation?Interested in hearing why?Thanks!
