Veeam Version 12.1 - Malware Detections Query

Hello Veeam Community,I am reaching out with a concern regarding our Veeam version 12.1, as we are consistently receiving malware detection alerts on our VMs. The notifications specifically indicate:Potential malware activity detected: Too many files have had their names changed since the last backup; ensure they were not encrypted by ransomware. Potential malware activity detected: *.ttt (TeslaCrypt 3.0): 40 instances. Potential malware activity detected: *..txt: 2 instances.I have conducted thorough scans on both the VM and the backup, and no malicious activity was found. Could you please provide insights or guidance on whether this is a matter of concern, and if there are additional steps I should take to address this issue?Your assistance in resolving this matter is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support.

HPE StoreOnce Immutability - Technical and legal aspects - Part 1

IntroductionHi guys,This article is based on a request from one of our customers who asked us to conduct a study on the use of immutability with StoreOnce and related legal aspects. In addition, the request was to delve into the workflow of dual authorization. BUT first of all I would like to thanks @regnor  to permit me to re-use parts or screenshots from his StoreOnce posts - Part1 - Part2 and Part3 Transitioning from technician to architect roles in your career brings new considerations.In operational work, you simply follow instructions, but as an architect, you must be able to design and justify the necessary operations.This use case explains the use of StoreOnce with Veeam and its built-in immutability feature, with a focus on the legal aspects and audits that companies are subject to. What is a cybersecurity audit?An IT Security Audit is a systematic analysis of an organization's security system.Its primary objective is to verify the effectiveness of security controls, policies,

Support for XCP-NG and ProxMox (It's been fun VMWare)

With the recent VMWare licensing consolidation and Broadcom moving to a subscription/core model, it has caused many SMBs to explore new options for a hypervisor. (such a shame.. pouring one out for my years of VMWare experience.) XCP-NG and ProxMox keep coming up in various communities. I personally have tested both and they perform really well. My only issue with them is that currently there is no native Veeam integration for the two platforms. Are there any plans for Veeam to support XCP-NG and/or ProxMox?

Agent Backup of Windows Machines on Network with Veeam B&R 12.1 CE

Hi, I am trying to backup the Windows PC’s on my LAN using Agent backup and am having the same issue as the person on this post: https://forums.veeam.com/servers-workstations-f49/creating-new-backup-in-protection-group-issue-t79935.html I have read the issue several times and I don’t think I understand the terminology being used. And I have successfully installed Agent on my Windows machine and executed the command to connect to B&R.  I also see the machine on B&R. Ideally, I would like to schedule backup jobs for this machine and also be able to run adhoc backups using the B&R console.Is this possible? Thank you, Hammer

FileServer Backup

Hi all,i was testing and studying the FileServer Backup. Reading the guide from “Top to bottom” :-) under Requirements and Limitations for File Shares i see"To support the VSS for SMB File Shares feature, make sure that requirements listed in this Veeam KB article 3099 are met."Link at the kb https://www.veeam.com/kb3099Under Requirements of that Kb it says "The Veeam Backup Server and the Windows File Server hosting the SMB Share must be joined to the same Active Directory domain."? Is this real? I cannot use vss on fileserver that are not in the domain of the VBR Server?The guide is for the V12Thanks for helps.

Backup Chains

Backup Job Chains… If I keep seven (7) restore points and run an Active Full on Saturday (point #7) what happens to the six (6) files in the prior backup chain? Are they useless but don’t get deleted because we’re keeping seven (7) restore points?  Backup Copy Jobs are different if not mistaken. If you keep seven (7) restore points and the seventh is a periodic full, the six prior restore points are deleted all at once?

Monitor individual jobs in VSPC

Hello everyone,VSPC allows us to be alerted when a computer has not been backed up for a specific number of days.However, when a device has multiple jobs configured, what if one of those jobs has not been running for some time but other jobs completed? An example scenario is this:Job 1: when a backup target is connectedJob 2: daily at midnight What if job 1 never gets executed as the target is never connected but job 2 does?Is there a way I could be alerted? Thank you in advance.Daniele Capuano

Moving Backups Load

Hi Community,i would like to give a suggestion for maybe a future release.When moving a backup to another repository, the job occupies all free task asap. Other jobs on that server will be delayed until the Move-Jop is finished.I suggest a dialog where one can limit the tasks the Move-Job is using, so the normal backup routine is not on full hold.What are your thoughts on this?

VBR 12.1 - Quick Migration Show no Processing Rate When Job Completed

I’m not sure if this is an existing issue or new, however, when doing a Quick Migration in VBR 12.1, I see no processing rate of the job when completed.  In VBR 11, we would get a XYZ MB/s or GB/s in that “area”. Any ideas? Can this be found in logs? Some DB table (how to connect to DB if so)?

RedHat Linux Oracle database restore failed in Veeam explorer

we have backed up a Redhat Linux Oracle VM using normal vm backup and enabled application aware processing by providing required credentials. later backup was successfully completed. but when we start Oracle application based restore, it launches Veeam explorer for Oracle and directly asks for target server connection details for Huesrisitc analysis . As per documentation, after Veeam explorer is launched, we should be able to see and select our backup restore points. in our case it directly asks target server connection details. when i checked in Veeam documentation link given below, this target server details are asked for Hueristic analysis for non-application enabled backups.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/explorers/nonvss_restore_wizard.html?ver=120 below is the error we get in huerisitc analysis stage after we provide target server credentials, please help to resolve this issue.
