Migrate Veeam to Server 2019

I am currently running Veeam 11 on Server 2012. I would like to migrate to Server 2019. I’ve tested a couple boxes doing in place upgrades and it didn’t go smooth. So, I  would like to spin up a new Server 2019 box and migrate Veeam. I’ve read the below article, and actually had to utilize it during my Veeam 11 upgrade to restore my config. My question is, how to I migrate since my repositories are on the Veeam 11 box? I have 3 disks on that machine with multiple repositories. When I go to perform the restore, those repositories are not yet on the new machine. What is the best technique for doing so? This is in VMWare, should i just add the old vmdks to the new machine? Is there a better method? I would love to shrink the vmdks in the process if possible. The backup database is much smaller than the vmdks.

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

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

Agent backup of Windows failover cluster - CBT warning after switchover

In an agent job for a WSFC (fileserver role) we see a warning after having switched over to the secondary node. Each job run now finishes with a warning that CBT table has changed.As with VM backups I expected the warning to disappear in the next cycle - but it didn’t. How can I reset the CBT for an agent backup (not hypervisor based CBT but Veeam CBT driver here)?

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 Upgrade issue.

I recently updated a client from Veeam 11, I think .816 to the latest version available. Everything went as usual as I do these quite often but this one is throwing a pop up that states, "unable to upgrade plug-ins under the current user, please open the console under an account with administrative privilege's:" when I launch Veeam. I am logged in as a local administrator account and have updated this client in the past with no issues.I just click on okay and it opens up like normal. I also checked for any updates to the managed machine and there is upgrade option. This is a stand alone Veeam system with no remote components.I don't think it's going to impact the functionality but will know more after tonight's job run.Appreciate any feedback!Thanks,Poettone!

v12 Upgrades through Service Provider Console - Check the Logs

I ran several V12 updates through our Service Provider Console and just wanted to make sure that anyone else running these upgrades watches for this issue as well.  The issue being, when you push the update and it updates successfully, check the results to make sure that it reenabled all backup and copy jobs at the end.  I had a handfull of upgrades where it stated the upgrade was successful, but in checking the logs, the update didn’t reenable a couple of jobs at the end.  It seemed to me mostly copy jobs, but I had at least one or two backup jobs as well.  ​​​​Veeam Service Provider Console log results for upgrading a VBR server to v12 that indicated success in the upgrade but failed to reenable jobs afterwords. One other thing to look out for is that when you update, make sure that the client isn’t copying data to a VCC provider that isn’t yet on v12 (looking at you 11:11 Systems/Iland).  In that case, copy jobs will now be broken and won’t run until the provider has updated their e

CDP and Replica Snapshot alerts at DR site question.

What do you guys do in your VMware environments for VMs using CDP or replicas? Once I have a bunch of snapshots at the DR site vCenter likes to give nice little red alerts. Other monitoring systems tend to remind you that there are too many snapshots too. I found the easiest way is to disable that alert at the DR site, but I have to be manually monitoring my environment to make sure an unwanted snapshot doesn’t get left behind somewhere.
