Change socket liscenced name

Hi all and thanks for reading!!I have a socket liscencing in a host called “roma6-1”. Now, i updated the esxi and the new name of the host is “roma-linux-1”. Well, i revoke the liscence of the host “roma-1” but when i run a job, it still appears with the old name “roma6-1”, i dont know why doesnt appear the new hostname “roma-linux-1” as appears in the inventory of veeam for example. I have searched in my dns, esxi conf, idrac conf, etc. and all is fine. Id should be something cached in veem, i suppouse, but i dont know where looking for.¿Can you help me please?

12.1 install and Malware Detection

Well, I just did the upgrade to 12.1 and things could not have gone more smooth. I did have to uninstall the console on my desktop manually and reinstall it but the server side went great.It seems like it’s running quick, and the new features are fantastic. The malware detection is going to take a bit of tuning, due to the amount of files, and odd file types some of these video players use, but I am very excited that these are now included in B and R.

Importing 12.1 encrypted backups to v12

Hi all, had an internal report of having a challenge with taking a backup chain encrypted with 12.1 and being able to import those backups into a v12 VBR. Has anybody else tried this?I know that 12.1 is considered a non-breaking release and backups definitely work when you take 12.1 to 12.0 VCC servers, but not being able to import could be an issue, albeit one that can be worked around with extract.exe.

What's your favorite VBR Trick?

We all know that Veeam Backup & Replication is great for doing exactly what it says, backing up and replicating virtual machines. What is less talked about is all the other things it enables through those and other capabilities such as Sure Backup, application aware backups and secure restore. What is that thing that you’ve done with VBR that isn’t necessarily a listed feature or use case but is a great time saver?I’ll start with my favorite: Created a process where I launched a full Cisco VoIP HA stack (2x CUCM, 2x Unity, 2x UCCX, 2x something else i can’t remember) into a Veeam Sure Backup lab from the backups, upgrade the entire stack in the lab, shutdown and removed the production from inventory then migrated the lab ones into production, Rebooted the phones. Cut my system downtime for major version upgrades from 24 hours to 10 minutes.

domain administrator credentials used in veeam

Hi team:I have a question regarding the title above. It turns out that for many things in Veeam (access to hosts, jobs, console, etc.) I use the domain administrator's credentials. If I have to change said password, should I make adjustments to all the accesses described above? Regards,

How to identify physical hard disk drives sitting in multiple SAN devices connected to a single ESXi host?

Hi Team,Got two question and appreciate your response.Q1.In my work environment, we got 3 ESXi hosts and each have connected to multiple SAN devices to store data in different locations. I need to do a mapping exercise to identify the physical HDD’s (inside each SAN device) locations to above said individual ESXi host. I can access the ESXi host from a web interface and can view the datastores connected to individual ESXi host. Further, I can retrieve basic information of  the HDDs (physical) but not an option to locate in which SAN device they are stored.Hope my question is clear and appreciate your valuable support to obtain the best eway to perform this exercise?Q2.Also would like to know a tool or a mechanism to detect the health status of the physical HDD. The HDDs are in the production environment would like to know an industry best practice to determine the health status please?Than you in advance. Kind regards, Andrew

Veeam Backup Repository Access is Denied

Fairly new to Veeam so this may be a silly question.I’ve had Veeam for Office 365 setup and running for a while, but recently my repository which had been working fine stopped working.The repository is a shared folder on a Buffalo NAS.  Editing my Repository, and checking Free Space I get “Access is Denied”. yet through File Explorer I can  fully access that share.

Slow backup problem

I’m testing the Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition on 2 Windows 10 Pro PCs, connected with Gigabit Ethernet.  Everything’s functional.  With no throttling, backup read speed fluctuates between around 60Mb/s and 140Mb/s (note - when the read speed was around 77Mb/s, network usage shown in Task Manager on the server computer for Veeam Agent was around 940Mb/s).  But browsers and email applications on the client computer become unresponsive at times.  Setting throttling (via a Network Traffic Rule on the server) to 50Mb/s fixed the unresponsiveness problem.  But with the throttling, backup read speed dropped drastically, hovering between 1Mb/s and 5Mb/s.  I got the same result after disabling firewall and antiVirus on both computers. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to track down the cause of this problem?

Cannot find any buckets in Region

I’m testing several On-Prem S3 Object Backups ( Backing up Object Storage in 12.1) no matter which of the 4 systems I try I get the attached error. All of the systems have “buckets” that Veeam 12.1 has written to, and they have data in them, and are set as repo’s in VBR that I am using for this test. Suggestions? Error is attached - I get it on all of them.

Fun Friday: What do you use to lab/test?

Happy Friday everyone! I’m back for another Fun Friday question: What do you use to lab/test/play with technology? Whether you’ve just got a preferred cloud provider, live on the “hands on labs” of a particular vendor, or have a substation in your garden powering a giant datacentre in your basement, I wanna hear it! I’ve currently got a 48 Port 1Gbps PoE switch with 6x 10Gbps uplinks, 2x HPE quad core servers with 32GB RAM each running ESXi and if I need to overflow I’ve got VMware workstation on my quad core 32GB PC, all sat under my desk!

Veeam Proxy without domain

For security reasons, our backup proxies should not be domain servers. Can anyone tell me if and how I can add a non-domain server as a backup proxy? Both the server and the proxy are VMs and in the same networks.

File Share to Immutable Repository

Hi Everyone, I just created an immutable repository using Azure Blob storage and connected to it using a Veeam 12 B&R client on Windows.I was hoping to create a File Share job to send a small set of data to the immutable repository but this doesn’t seem to be an option as when I do a new file share job the immutable repository is not available to select.Have I maybe missed something when configuring my Blob or Repo or is this just not possible? Thanks.
