Veeam Recovery Media fails to boot with Server 2022 on AMD Server HPE DL345

Hello.I have an issue with booting from Recovery Media created with Windows Free Agent V6.The Server HPE DL345 GEn11 is running Windows Server 2022.When i try to boot from ILO Boot starts. I get the message Press any Key to boot. Than it immdiately switchs back to BIOS boot settings.Same Problem with booting from RUFUS Stick.On DL380 Gen10 with Intel CPU it works fine.Booting from Server 2022 ISO is working on the AMD EPYC is working fine.I created the Recovery Image twice. And added the USED Drivers as otopnal drivers too. No Changes.Booting the AMD from a different WRONG Recovery Image (Z2 Workstation) boots “Press any key to start ...) and freezes the Server at once. Any ideas?Greetings from Germany.

Discrepancy between used space in a bucket and Veeam?

Hello all, I have been looking in the forum but I have not found information. In my job we are using Nutanix objects, one of the  buckets shows  450 TB of usage space on Nutanix, but when I review on veeam the backup software it only shows  90 TB. Is there an issue with this space not being reclaimed?, on a  previous post, I found ReFS takes some time to free up space and show the proper amount.I hope you can shed some light on.

Second AV for SureBackup

Hi Community,We are using as AV solution Sentinel One. This Solution isn’t standard included in the AntivirusInfo.xml for Secure Restore/SureBackup. So I had to create my own entry, based on very little info and no list of error codes. It’s working but I don’t feel 100% safe as it wasn’t standard included or supported. During a recent Veeam On Tour it was brought to my attention, that using a different AV solution other then the one that’s active on your server bring an extra level of security/check. Now standard on this windows servers os Defender installed.Defender is also standard part of the AntivirusInfo.xml. We don’t want 2 AV solutions add the same time active on our systems. However if we could for example with SureBackup start a PS script that activate Defender at the start of the job and deactivates it again add the end of the task. This would be a great solution to me. Has anyone here this kind of solution in place and would like to share the PS?What about the AntivirusInfo.

First Time Learner - Apologies!!

Forgive me for this new discussion and please do delete if it is not the right place to ask. I am trying to do a bit of studying around my job currently and wanted to clarify a few points with Veeam (in the process of doing a small course). I'm getting very confused with the differences between forward incremental and reverse incremental backups and wondered if you could clarify.  Am i correct in thinking when choosing forever forward incremental backup, that if there is no synthetic backup scheduled, then the first full backup is completed followed by incremental the days thereafter. Therefore, if you wanted to complete a full restore, you would need to restore that original full backup followed by every single incremental up to the date of the full restore?And if a full backup is done, the retention period is approx 6 months and there are no synthetic backups scheduled.. then if there is a day mid way through that the backup job fails, then this runs the risk of not being able to res

Question about Forever Forward backups

Hello,Regarding Forever Forward backups, is it necessary to create period full backups (either Active or Synthentic), or can you just go with the initial full backup and everything else is incremental? (I know it is probably at least RECOMMENDED to do periodic full backups, but let’s not worry about that for purposes of this post/question) If you were to go with just the initial full backup then leave the rest as incrementals, what happens if you have a corrupt/failed incremental backup in the chain, but need to do a restore of a file?  Is Veeam able (and smart enough) to work around it? (i.e., if it has a failed or corrupt incremental backup, is Veeam smart enough to start the next backup based on the last good incremental and basically ignore the failed/corrupt one?) Thanks! :-)

Moving backups to archive tier

We have an onpremise Veeam server that runs the following jobs:1. Backup to local storage (weekly full, daily incrementals)2. Copy job to Linux hardened repository (immutable)3. Copy job to Azure Blob cool storage (immutable)Now i would like to have the Azure monthly backups moved to archive tier. I'm assuming i have to use SOBR for this. The following question arise:i create a second immutable repository with longer immutability, say 1 year. After moving the full backup, will it calculate ‘initial backup date + 1 year’, or ‘SOBR copy date + 1 year’? do i need a new container for this or can i just create a folder within a container? if a backup is still immutable can it be moved to the archive tier? copying backups obviously generates a large amount of traffic. Download backup from one repository, upload to another. Is there something i can do to limit the amount of traffic and costs? what's the risk here? To move data the local Veeam server needs to have modify permissions in both th

Help me to reconfigure my backup strategy

Hi there.Need to review my backup configuration after adding a linux immutable box and a 10 TB vcc cloud space. 20 vms ( 15 windows server and 5 linux ). About 6 TB storage space (compressed). One backup a day at night. veeam server is a physical windows 2022 server box with local storage. Here is my idea:First backup job on the veeam server itself. Backup copy on a scale out repository based on the local linux immutable storage and vcc cloud storage.Any suggestion?thanks in advance,Max ( Italy)

Veeam One Multiple Vulnerabilities - Hotfix Potential Issue

Many of you saw the hotfix that came out for Veeam ONE that takes care of some pretty high CVEs (yesterday).I checked with Support on my custom hotfixes and was given the go ahead to do the hotfix.  So I implemented it this morning and now I am running in to problems with the data collection and a persistent warning message -11/7/2023 1:00:04 PM [warning]: servername: Method not found: 'System.String Veeam.Reporter.GrpcService.GrpcServices.GrpcAuthInterceptor.get_CurrentAccessJwt()'.This is an example of one line but happening for all my VBK/VEM servers added in Veeam ONE.I am working through with Support on my case for data collection to see if I need to revert the hotfix for now to allow RnD time to fix the hotfix.  😋

Migrating Veeam and backups to new hardware

Morning all. Hoping someone can help identify the best method available to us for migrating to new hardware. Overview of current setup:All in one VBR server (physical)  Currently on v11 Local storage (ReFS volume)  SOBR using Wasabi S3 for the capacity extent. Backups are copied to capacity.  1 job (agent managed) backing up 7 physical servers at remote sitesOverview of new setup:All in one VBR server (physical)  Fresh install of v12 Local storage (ReFS volume)How would we best approach moving the data/job from the current setup to the new setup? The approach needs to consider the following: Ideally, we want to use VeeaMover in v12 to move the data between current and new setup so that we maintain the ReFS block cloning savings.  The storage from the new system cannot be directly attached to the current system, but the servers are on the same LAN.  We want to use a SOBR on the new system that utilises the same Wasabi S3 bucket so that we don’t have to re-seed wasabi (if this is possibl
