Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Rest API (v1.4) Getting the job log data

Hi All,I’m a Veeam newbie, doing some development work with the rest API. Using the REST api endpoint: /api/query?type=BackupJobSession I can get a list of backup job sessions. Within that I get the link to get the JobReference information. That's all fine, but what I need to get is the job log data:  Is this information available via the api? Thanks,Tim.

M365 Sharepoint Backup - 404 error

Hi there, I run an MSP and have just started to get get familiar with Veeam products. The community editions are fantastic.I’ve setup some Sharepoint jobs which are now working, but get a 404 error on a sharepoint file which highlights the job with a warning. https://xxx.sharepoint.com/All Users Shared/_catalogs/masterpage/v4.master A few questions if you don’t mind.How can I exclude the path / file or supress the error When SP backups are running - (Physical machine with CPU i7 4.0, 32Gb) spikes and holds 100% for long periods of time - is this normal? e.g. SP has about 30k objects Memory can go to 5Gb-15Gb - will it use as much as it can? I had some 429 or throttling issues, but adding more applications fixed it issueThank you very much,DP

Veeam 11 on Server 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2008 to V12 Server 2019

I previously posted about upgrading to Server 2019 here:My plan was to go ahead and upgrade to V12 then spin up a Server 2019 box, attach my vmdk’s and restore my config. My issue is that V12 does not support the version of SQL Server I’m on 2008. So, here is my question: What is the best upgrade path?Option 1In place upgrade of SQL Server to 2012 In place upgrade to V12 Spin up new Veeam Backup Server with V12 and on Server 2019 and SQL 2019 Migrate database Attach vmdk’s with backups Restore configOption 2Skip the in place backups and spin up new Backup Server on 2019 and SQL 2019 Migrate database attach vmdk’s restore config from Veeam 11 backupOr if you have a better upgrade path please let me know.

Pre-freeze and post-that scripts throwing error

Hi all,I have a VM running on Hyper-V 2016, its a Ubuntu 20.04.6 with MariaDB installed.So I defined a (cold) pre-freeze.sh and and post-thaw.sh and tested both in /tmp directory, it will work as expected when done with sudo, under the specified user. However when the backup job does that, it throws an error. This is what you can see in the Console windows under the details of that VM: 08.04.2023 16:47:10 :: VM is now in the required state for processing  08.04.2023 16:47:11 :: Preparing to create snapshot  08.04.2023 16:47:13 :: Pre-freeze script finished execution with exit code -1  08.04.2023 16:47:14 :: Creating VM recovery checkpoint (mode: Crash consistent)  08.04.2023 16:47:25 :: Post-thaw script finished execution with exit code -1 Other than that the VM is properly backed up.This is the content oif the Task.db01.something.log on the VBR server: [08.04.2023 16:47:13.652] <14> Info         [ScriptInvoker] No scripts are set to invoke, creating empty invoker[08.04.2023 16:4

SureBackup with Agents fails with "cannot detect IP address"

SureBackup with Agents is a brand new V12 feature I already blogged about:SureBackup with physical workloads - and some more gems | Veeam Community Resource HubAlready using it in production environments, we now faced an issue with a job consisting of a DC and and Exchange server. Both are physical machines originally. For the DC everything worked fine in the SureBackup run. But the Exchange server failed with:Error: Results: cannot detect IP addressThis is right at the beginning of the testing process and even when I disable all checks.Doing an Instant-Recovery manually with the Exchange, I could determined that the exchange VM - after the necessary P2V and intial boot - shows up an “unknown network adapter” in device manager. Installing the built-in Windows driver for the E1000 with a right-click directly brought up the interface. I guess SureBackup failed to do that automatically.So question is, why does VBR do that correctly for the DC and fails for the Exchange.We’ll try pre-insta

I failed VMCE exam

Yes, as the title says, I failed the VMCE exam this morning.69% out of 70% to pass.I want to share my mistakes so whoever reads this post will be able to do better:If you're a Windows sysadmin like me, don't leave anything related to the Linux world behind. Almost 1/3 of my questions were about Linux. So, it's really really important to have a complete knowledge at 360°.Memorize various options in menus, where it says and what it says.Don't just focus on Veeam Backup and Replication, look at all our other products as well.Very important are @haslund videos: not to get the answer, but how to get the anwser. He does a great job to explains how to reason to solve questions.YT links: https://www.youtube.com/@RasmusHaslund/playlists Community links: https://community.veeam.com/search/activity/topics?userid=80Again, @haslund he's the man.You can even find three exam preps he prepared to help you “simulate” real exam (with obviously different questions).https://rasmushaslund.com/vmce-practice

Database

Hi All,This is my first post on this site.I have been asked to backup a database on one of our servers before setting it up to be decommissioned. The DB needs to be retained for 40 years and before I can archive off the DB I need to ensure that we are able to access it. I am very  new to veeam and wondered if anyone knows how I can backup just the DB and not the VM? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Veeam with Nutanix that has two nodes issue

We have Veeam pushing a couple of Nutanix clusters.  Jobs are split between the clusters and Nutanix is replicating between the two clusters so if one goes down…Issue that we’re seeing is when Veeam is backing up a server, snaps are being created to do the backup. Replication between the two Nutanix clusters is seeing the snap and replicating it to the second node.  Since the snap doesn’t have a retention set, Nutanix is setting the snaps for 60 day retention.  When we’re starting to deal with file servers north of 20tb, this becomes and issue.  Is there anyway to force Veeam to set a short retention on snaps or is this something Nutanix should address?Thanks in advance.

Accommodating a mass amount of workstations in VBR

If someone has been doing image based backups of 100+ workstations in Acronis, but is interested in moving to a VBR environment, how do we accommodate that scale of workstation backups? The only thing I know to do is throw the Windows agent on them and create an agent backup within VBR, but I am curious if there is a better solution.

Veeam Backup runs at 91MB/s, but restoring that VM runs at 3MB/S

Hi All, it’s my first post here.I’m evaluating Veeam in my lab.  I find backups are at a fast 93MB/s, but restores are slow at 3MB/s.-ESXi 7.0 Update 3 host running on a i7 system with 64GB, SSD and HD storage and a 1G NIC-VBR 12.0.0.1420 running on an i5 system with 16GB, with two 1G NICs, NIC1 connects to the lab network with the ESXi server, NIC2 connects to the main network and NAS storage where the backups are stored-NAS is capable of sustained 112MBs read and write speeds-when I do a backup of any of the VMs, it runs at about 91MB/s-when I do a restore of those VMs, including the ones stored on the SSD, restore speed is 3MB/s-overnight I restored 3 VMs, 2 are under 100GB and finished, the third restore is about 1.6TB and completed only 9% in 7 hours, at that rate it will take 77.7 hours, the backup of that VM took 4 hours-if I use Instant Recovery performance is reasonable, for example with a Windows Server VM, I can copy files from the windows server to a client computer at the
