vbr 12.1 False positive malware detection

i enabled malware detection, the next day an alarm went up on the ubuntu Hardened backup repository server where immutable backups are saved. Backup jobs are " enable backup encryption" I suspect this is the cause of the false positive. Ran the secure scan Linux version -scanAV which with - YARAScan of 12.1 comes out clean .thanks to the invaluable guidance of @SteveHeart https://community.veeam.com/yara-and-script-library-67/vbr-securerestore-lnx-ps1-secure-restore-for-linux-vm-4617 .\vbr-securerestore.ps1 -Mounthost myububtu -Scanhost immu-repo -Jobname D10-my-job -Keyfile .\public-key.key -AVScan .\vbr-securerestore.ps1 -HostToScan immu-repo -Jobname D10-my-job -Mounthost myububtu -LinuxUser my-user -Keyfile c:\cert\public-key.key -YARAScan Has this happened to anyone? For the moment I mark them as cleanThanks

BCP - DR options

Hi Community Looking for a DR option that would help us leverage Cloud storage. We have an on-prem VBR server with a pair of local repositories. We would like to backup a portion of our our Local VM infrastructure to S3 as part of our DR strategy and in the even of a DR incident leaving our primary data center offline we would like to be able to restore these instances from S3 to EC2. 2 problems i see instantly are the lack of access to the backup server if the primary datacenter is offline and the VMs communicating unless we use the same network segment on EC2 when we spin up the environment. Anyone see a way to do this short of replicating all the needed VMs to EC2 in an offline state? I believe this can be done with replication of the VMs to EC2 and the file shares to S3 Active and even orchestrated but I was hoping for a less expensive option as well.

Stacking VUL and Capacitiy licences

Customer has 3TB (500GB x 6 CPU) from VUL. They need to add additional 2TB. Capacity is a lot cheaper then VUL but I don't know is this going to be stacked or is it doable to combine these licenses ? This is essentials version of the Veeam.

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.

Migrating backup from old to new repository

Hi everyone… I have deployed a new backup repository which is going to be replaced by the old one. By which Veeam features I should use to copy those backup data to the new storage? Maybe replication or backup copy job? Backup source is mixture of bear metal, VM, DB, app etc. in multiple OS

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 rest

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

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)

RHV VM restore issue

Hi, I was working with older version of veeam long ago and I remember I never had any issues with it, currently I am trying to set a backup and restore solution and I’m evaluating veeam with our Ovirt Node 4.5.4 infrastructure.I did the setup step by step and later installed the RHV plugin and connected to the engine and got the proxy vm up and running I can setup backup jobs and all is good until this point, I do get a warning during backup but it finishes anyway, here is the error I get :{VM-Name}: Image transfer URL is inaccessible: CURL error 6: Couldn't resolve host name, switching to the proxy URL I tried to restore an VM and I am now getting this error and task fails: 10/18/2023 2:18:16 PM Error {VM-Name}: Unable to write data block.

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. 😋
