Clean Immutable Repository

Hello community.I'm testing Veeam's immutability proposal using an XFS repository on Linux. Everything works great, but I have the following doubt: How does cleaning old immutable backups work?I've noticed that the test repository is running out fast, I'm cleaning it manually as root, but I'd like to know how to deal with this situation.Thanks

No session info available on Tape properties

In version 11 we could open the properties of a tape and check on tab Jobs to see which sessions are on this particular tape. We used this to note on the case label and could keep track on which tape has the oldest data. Now we have upgraded to version 12 but this information isn't shown anymore on the Jobs tab at the Tape Properties. How can we enable this information to be shown again.We use a HP Autoloader tape library and Veeam Backup and Replication.

Pre-Job Scripts not working

I did a lot of testing with B&R 12 already and I learned a lot so far. But yesterday I ran into a new problem. I have my Backup Server which runs Veeam B&R 12 as domain administrator (using windows authentication to open and run Veeam). Then I have a backup repository on an other machine in my LAN. This machine is equiped with a Tandberg RDX drive. I run full backup jobs every day on these rotating drives. The job shall delete all backups on the disk and run a fresh full backup. This does not work for some reason. So I delete the RDX disks manually (via Windows scheduler) and considered this could be done with a Veeam Pre-Job-Script too. Well, it wont work. I use psexec64.exe to delete content on the machine with the RDX drive. The scipt (.cmd) I wrote works fine under my admin account. No problems when i launch it in cmd or simply double-click it. Script does what it shall do. For some reason this script does not work as Pre-Job-Script. I belive its a problem with a lack of pr

Move Veeam 365 Azure image from one subscription to another

I am having a hard time trying to migrate our Veeam365 (azure marketplace image) VM in Azure to another subscription, due to Microsofts restriction regarding move VMs with a plan attached. My latest idea was to use Azure Recovery Service to replicate the vm, and then do a permanent failover. The ASR supports cross-over subscription so it would do the job.When doing the failover, I get an error saying that I need to accept the terms of the image vms.This should be done with the azure cli command: az vm image accept-terms --urn veeam:office365backup:veeamoffice365backup:3.0.0have also tried with the subscription id in the paramteres, but the results is the same:The VM image can not be found. I guess its because its an older vm-image which Veeam now doesnt offer on that azure marketplace. So where can I go from there..? I am starting to perhaps use Veeam for this just case but before spending more time it would be great to now if this Plan paramteres is somehow following the imagedisc in

Tenant v12 to Service Provider v12

Today we updated our cloud connect server to v12. Once that was complete we upgraded two of our managed clients running Veeam backup and replication to v12.My issue is once the Tenant side was updated to v12 I am no longer able to connect to the service provider. I believe this is the related log…[14.03.2023 16:07:00.582] <117> Error        A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respondBut this is only happening from tenants that updated to v12, all other tenants running v11 are able to connect without issue.We have a support case open, Case # 05943021

CSI Provisioner doesn't have VolumeSnapshotClass - Error

But Longhorn only goes up to 1.4.0. How do I get this rectified? This product looks extremely useful for our environment.

VeeamVssHwSnapshotProviderSvc.msi with VeeamVssProviderSvc does not work on Win10.

Hi all,During the upgrade to V12 for several of our customers we received an error where we couldn’t upgrade all the components.VeeamVssHwSnapshotProviderSvc.msi with Veeam VSS Hardware Provider Service (VeeamVssProviderSvc) service inside does not work on client Windows 10 A short workaround on this: Connect to the database and perform the following statement (of course, take a backup of your database first!)delete from [dbo].[HostComponents] where id = '8A3F9C13-90F3-4B1C-A2A7-C82E6AB66E0F'  It seems that not all Windows 10 installations are facing this problem. We’ll try to figure out of certain builds are involved in this. On the other hand, a fresh v12 install in Win10 works without any problems.

Veeam ONE v12 - Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Integration

Hi all,if you are planning to connect your Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to your Veeam ONE 12 infrastructure and start monitoring this type of backup as well, one thing to keep in mind is the license versions of the two products.Below the licensing-level compatibility matrix:https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/one/deployment/license_types.html?ver=120 As for the actual connection, in my case I ran into the following issue:https://www.veeam.com/kb4422 The KB4422 is very explanatory: “Monitoring Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 infrastructure and data protection operations with Veeam ONE v12, requires a new Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 license file with the M365Suite package value.”.  In my case, restarting the "Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 REST API Service" and push again the license update using the "Update Now" button in the VBO365 Server has solved the problem.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo365/guide/vbo_installing_license.html?ver=70I hope I can have been helpful.Good work to

Are SharePoint permissions backed up using Veeam for Microsoft 365? Scenario:  A group with inherited permissions is removed from a SharePoint folder but later found to be required.If we restore the folder, will it restore the security groups/permissions associated with that folder at the time of backup?

Unable to Detach Backup from Job when converting repository to Per-Machine Backups after v12 upgrade

Ran across an interesting quick issue post v12 upgrade.  I had a client who I upgraded to v12 (via our Service Provider Console).  I had some clients where after the upgrade, some copy jobs were not reenabled.  NOTE:  The upgrade shows as a success, but if you view the upgrade job details, it does note that the jobs weren’t reenabled.  Anyhow, I was poking that clients machine this morning and realized the copy jobs were disabled but also decided to convert them from per-job chains to per-machine chains.  I changed the backup repositories to per-machine, but when I attempted to detach the backup job from the restore points, I received the below error message. Veeam error dialog stating “Disable the primary job and all dependent secondary jobs before detaching the backup.” The strange part about this was that I had already disabled the backup jobs, and the secondary copy jobs were already disabled.  Thinking that perhaps it was tied to the replication jobs (metadata), I tried disabling

So you think you have long retention requirements? Are they as long as Japan’s tax-related data requirements?

Did you know that some tax-related data in Japan has to be accessible for 100 years? I only found out as Pioneer have developed a Blu-Ray recorder and relevant media to achieve the certifications necessary to protect this data in THEORY: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/pioneer-new-blu-ray-recorder-and-bdr-promise-100-years-lifespan I say in theory because, discs break all the time, and the standard certainly doesn’t provide any tampering protection in the way of physical damage. And a multi-backup strategy is certainly still key for compliance, but it’s  interesting to see an alternative to tape for long term offline retention. Will it ever catch on? I doubt it. But a good read all the same.

Can I backup and roll back the backup repository?

My backup repository is an iSCSI mount from some NAS which can take snapshots on iSCSI LUN I’m thinking about a very simple backup plan with 30 days retention, and monthly snapshot and replicate the iSCSI LUN. If I need to restore something e.g. 3 months ago, can I just dismount the current repository, mount the 3 months old iSCSI snapshot, rescan it and restore files from it?

GFS by multiple jobs?

I studied about Veeam’s GFS, as I understand, it’ll consume a lot of disk space to work?  If I want to keep 31 daily, 4 weekly, 12 monthly, I’ll end up with 1+4+12 = 17 full copies disk space + 30 daily incrementials ?  What if I create 3 different jobs on the same VM, daily (30days), weekly (4 weeks), monthly (12 months)I’ll end up with:one daily full + 29 daily incrementalsone weekly full + 3 weekly incrementalsone monthly full + 11 monthly incrementals Total 3 full + 43 increments, should use much less space than build-in GFS?
