Now I am learning some Backup & Recovery Solutions (from China). I list out the features comparison with Veeam for reference. Please let me know if I missed any core features for Veeam. Vinchin https://www.vinchin.com/Aishu https://www.aishu.cn/

Hi all, Running Veeam Backup and Replication V11 on an Enterprise license - we have been backing up to HPE StoreOnce repositories for nearly a year, but due to operational changes with more VM’s, additional encryption and retention requirements we are filling these up faster than anticipated (less de-dupe). We would like to move our older monthly/yearly backups to Azure storage for long term retention in order to free up space on the StoreOnce devices for our nightly/weekly backups and restores. Initial research suggests that creating a Scale-Out repository, adding the existing StoreOnce repository as the performance tier extant and a new Azure object storage container as the capacity tier extant is the way to go. The documentation confirms this will re-point all existing jobs to use the new scale-out repository when they next run and anything older than X days (whatever we set in the capacity tier option) will be automatically offloaded to the capacity tier.

Hi all,A customer’s device is complete gone, but has daily full backups stored via CloudConnect in Wasabi. When we try to import the backups, it gives the message ‘No backups found’. Altough, the Cloud Connect server gives usage of the bucket and de job just ran fine. Any ideas how to import the backup in the Cloud Connect server to start the recovery ?  The import of the backup doesn’t seem to find the backup chain….  

Our customer are running Veeam and replication to protect EXSI 10 workload .They would like request the disaster recovery plan .We know the Acronis/Azure have the backup solution just install the agent in workload and destination is to cloud .When the disaster is coming we just turn on the workload in cloud then they start charging all the necessary like EC2.In Veeam have any solution similar like Acronis/Azure ?

Deployment Information:If Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager is installed on the same machine as Veeam Backup & Replication:On the Veeam Backup Server, close all open Veeam Backup & Replication Consoles, and ensure no processes named veeam.backup.shell.exe are running. Download the HOT Fix Below URL:https://www.veeam.com/kb4682Unzip the hotfix and run the hotfix installer.(veeam_backup_12.2.0.334_PrivateFix_TF812030.exe) Please plan accordingly reboot may be required after installing the hotfix.

Hi, I have a question. I recently added an object storage repository (Cloudian) with an immutable retention period of 7 days. Then, I created a new backup job and pointed it to that repository, and I ran the backup. After the backup job completed, I checked the object files in Cloudian and looked at their retention period, and the result shows more than 7 days. Shouldn't it be exactly 7 days, not longer?Attached is the screenshot:Repository config for immutable days The date when the first backup started The object retention displayed in Cloudian Management

In case you missed the annoucement, Microsoft have released more information on their upcoming server version called, Windows Server 2025.More info here:https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-server-insiders/announcing-windows-server-preview-build-26040/m-p/4040858 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-server-news-and-best/introducing-windows-server-2025/ba-p/4026374If you want to give it a try, the Canary version can be downloaded after joining the Insiders Preview:

Working with a customer to install the Veeam Tintri Intelliflash Plugin.   We have installed plugin version 1.0.85.  Per this KB it says it supports  the following Tintri versions:Tintri IntelliFlash 3.9.2 Tintri IntelliFlash 3.10.1 or laterHere is the KB:https://www.veeam.com/kb3226The customer array is running version 4.5.1.  After installing the plugin and trying to discover their Tintri array it errors out saying you need version 3.9.2 or higher on the array.    I assuming 4.5.1 is higher than 3.9.2 so not sure why it won’t discover.Anyone else seen this and have a suggestion?Thanks…Dean

hi allwe try here to create for our Postgres Servers to create a backup job with the Veeam for Postgres WAL Feature, so the agentless Version, of storing the WAL Files in a Backup. But i get it not to work. I see bulent his video, i look that i make all Documentation Settings in our Postgres Instances, but it will not work. But we have one great difference. We dont use the linux standard installation of postgres. so no /etc/postgres is there. we use a automated installation of postgres with ansible, but in different directories. example. the software itself is in /u01/app/postgres/product. the data dir is in /u02/pgdata/instancename, and the archive dir is in /u03/pgdata/archive/instancename. so i am not sure, how i can say in veeam to look in that locations for the WAL Files. the only info we have in /etc is the /etc/pgtab. did anyone know how to get Postgres WAL Backup running with a non standard postgresql installation?regards franco

After taking the manual snapshot on GCP it is going to another zone this behavior of Veeam or GCP as per my understanding the manual snapshot will always save the snap in a multi region location closest to the VM.

It seems that every VBR update requires to download the whole VBR software of over 4GB ?Then it is an ISO, but what I usually do is mount the ISO then copy out to like c:\VBR_12.227 (example of the version) then run the update from the folder. But is there also a smoother update process as I have to update the Veeam Enterprise Manager, then the VBR server itself and then probably need to like rescan the vCenter, edit WAN accelerator, edit Veeam Virtual Labs, edit storage repositories, edit the unstructured data file shares etc then it would start to update the individual items when I click finish.

Does anyone have a blog/step-by-step guide for setting up VSPC with SSO Azure AD?

I encountered the issue several times i restored the entire VM / Instant recovery to GCP after choosing the option to restore to its original location with the original setting after completing this procedure I noticed that the VM IP had been changed.

One of my customer wants to take backup VMware ESX 5.0 VMs. anyone can help me which Veeam Version is supported VMware ESX 5.0? ThanksShaokat

What are the limitations I will face while environment securing on GCP backup?

Data drive of the backup server has two folder Backup Job 7 which has backup from Oct to Nov and XX-Backup job from Jan 24’ What would be the correct process to delete the backup jobs from CZ60-Backup job from Jan 24 

I get the error Failed to connect to Veeam backup and Replication Server: object ... has been disconnected or does not exist at the the server.This is happening when trying to connect to the Veeam Console on the localhost.I have to reboot the server to resolve this issue, the server then seems to run OK but then later when the daily replication jobs (2) are run, the server seems to stop responding sometime during the 2nd replication job.Any suggestions on how to resolve this.  

We need to install the Veeam agent on 2,000 devices within the organization, but centralized file restoration to multiple devices simultaneously is required. Currently, the Veeam Backup & Replication solution does not have this functionality, and it is needed to reduce restoration times for user operations to ensure business continuity in case of ransomware or disaster.

I need to disable/enable Proxmox VE Backup Jobs with Powershell.Get-VBRJob: shows only jobs for Hyper-V VMs and linux Computers Get-VBRComputerJob: shows only jobs for linux ComputersI need Powershell Scripts to manage jobs for Proxmox VMs Thx,    Harry

The company I work for is looking to improve its BCDR capabilities utilising Veeam and Azure.  Currently in a DC we have VBR (physical server with local storage repo) copying to Azure blob storage and Enterprise Manager on a vm.  We are aiming to change the Veeam license to include VRO with the idea of being able to stand up VMs in Azure in the event of the DC going down.  My questions are about the placement of the various components.  Do we need a second VBR server in Azure?  Should the Enterprise manager be shifted to Azure?  Would it be best to build the VRO server in Azure?  Also where does ONE fit into this?  We are talking to an MSP about getting this set up but wanted some advice from the expert community to put my mind at ease.  Thanks!

Hi everyone,This is my situation: i configured a backup job on Veeam 12 on rdx drives; i ve got 3 drives (4TB each) and the total size of vms backup is around 1,6 TB; drives are changed daily.My goal is to make an incremental backup, veeam perform each day a full backup tough. So the third day the drives is put in the rdx reader  veeam gives me error because the storage is full.In repository settings i marked the rotated drives options. If i set the retention policy to 2 days nothing changes (because veeam policy always keep at least 3 restore points i guess).I tried also reversed incremental with no result. Is there any chance to manage an incremental backup on rotated drives in my situation?The best option would be to have in each drives a full backup + x incremental file, at worst i may configure a pre-job script to manually prune one of the two full backup on the drive. David

Good day all,Hostnames and IPs are ficticious, just to protect my environmentCase:N.B. Primary veeam server was off during the config restoration. Both servers can resolve hostnames to IP, full communication between sites/on WAN, same domain as well.I used (Site1) primary veeam server “veeamserver1” backed up .bco file and restored it to (site 2) secondary veeam server. “veeamserver2” After restoration on veeamserver2, RED X came up on both hosts and repositories.On veeamserver 2, I did a rescan on on hosts and i got error(all hosts) for below:-Error - [Serverhost1] Disks and volumes discovery failed Error: Access is denied.  RPC function call failed. Function name: [GetSvcVersion]. Target machine: [192.168.40.30:6160].-Host discovery failed For the local repositories rescan i got error below:
