All I want for Christmas is LDAP!

This may be a head in the clouds idea/thought, but I really wish there were way (and there may be and I just don’t know about it) to link Veeam to Active Directory and stored domain credentials automatically get updated whenever a needed password gets changed or updated due to rotation policies. No more ‘RPC server unavailable’ errors!

Windows patching for Veeam Infrastructure

Do you guys treat Veeam like the rest of your servers do do things differently?I know a good portion of us have our Veeam servers Non Domain joined, which will require treating it a bit different.  I also have extremely long jobs run to tape sometimes so a manual process to reboot and patch is needed for myself. For most of my servers I use  a WSUS deployment I have scripted all of my servers to check in weekly and to download the updates at a specified time. I use flags so they won’t download the updates if a reboot is currently pending incase a previous month is missed. I then use VMware to scheduled reboot the hosts as It’s much more consistent this way and easy to disable. I can also generate reports for people to know when their apps will be down. I was thinking about creating a script to preform the staged download of updates for my Veeam infrastructure, but we will see how time permitting my next while is.

VeeamOn Update Labwarz - How'd you do?

Apparently I knew all of the linux commands...and I’m not really a linux guru by any means but guessed well on a few of them.  Also didn’t realize that I can do malware scanning in a SureBackup job until now.... Scored a 39121 which I think is decent?  I see a bunch of folks scored higher, including @JonahMay.  How about the rest of y’all?https://labwarz.veeam.com/

Veeam SQL Database server local or External question.

I have used both. Internal SQL express, external SQL server, SQL server in an Always ON cluster replicated to our DR site. All 3 worked great, I have never noticed a difference in performance, and never hit the limits.Here are my questions about SQL and Veeam.Has anyone here ever hit the SQL Express limits?Has anyone here ever installed a full blown SQL instance on their Veeam server? Did this make much difference than an external SQL server?We have a DB admin, so using external is pretty easy for me, but I really have no clue when I'll outgrow SQL Express.  I suppose I can change it up in V12 as well with the new option.

Veeam M365 - Modern App Only Authentication best practices ?

Hello guys,Following the Disable Basic Auth in M365 since Oct. 1, 2022, I m looking for the best practices to implement the Modern App Only Authentication.I ll not explain why it’s important to protect M365 datas @Iams3le already did it very weel right here: To improve security, I would use the least privilege approach and only assign the permissions which are required for the task at hand. But I m a bit confuse with the best way to do it.Regards the required permissions in the help center (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo365/guide/vbo_required_permissions.html?ver=60), we need Veeam Backup Account Permissions and Azure AD application permissions.Is the Veeam Backup Account Permissions mandatory with the Modern App Only Authentication? In my understanding is only needed when we need to use the legacy mode.For the creation of the Azure AD app, we need to provide a user to login to M365. What kind of account do you use as this step? A dedicated service account or an admin user accou

unable to use database as it was created with an earlier version

Dear concern, we have one server where we had a previous version (9.5 U4b) of Veeam running for some tests on. However we’ve never really used it until now. That time veeam was removed from the system however it seems not completely. While trying to install version 11 on this particular server, we are now getting an error message, telling that usage of DB for VeeamBackup is not possible as it has been created with an older version of veeam. Indeed there are still two DB services running. What is the best way to get this clean as we will use this server to run as our B/R server in the future but of course on main latest. The goal is to have a clean installation of veeam 11 now in order to reduce future problems in case of any migration is necessary for a new version. thanks and best regards Stephan

M365 backups - transport

Hi, quick question. We are moving to M365 for email. Our Veeam infrastructure will remain on-premise. Per Veeam literature, says that I can backup my 365 mailboxes to any location, inclusive of on-premises. If we backup our 365 mbxs back down to our local infrastructure, will there be any egress bandwidth costs assessed by Microsoft? So if I have 1TB database now on-prem, and we move that to M365, for that very first backup, should I expect Microsoft to assess some bandwidth costs for that 1TB pull? Moreover, for any subsequent backups where presumably only deltas from the prior are processed, will I see transport costs there too?Thank you in advance.Cheers.

 When you start your journey to becoming a Legend or Vanguard the road ahead can seem lonely and even frighteningMuch work must be done and in the beginning it is easy to become distracted by things on the side and loose focus You need to be careful not to break any rules or run into areas of dangerYou will cross many work rivers and then face a steep climbYou might be tempted to turn back and avoid the effortYou might think that you are almost there and then face yet another challengeDon’t let yourself feel caged inWhen you finally become a Legend or Vanguard the reward is in reaching new heights and seeing things in a different and omnipotent way!Veeam treats you like Royalty and you feel as if you are finally in the Castle that you deserve!#veeam100summit

Veeam 365 object storage extent no local backups

Hi there,I’ve created a backup repo in my Veeam for 365 backups and also specified an extent to offload to Azure:Since that’s live I have no backup data on my local disks other than some sort of a cache… looks like everything has been pushed to Azure. Is there a way to still have local backups and then offload to Azure like we do with Veeam B&R ?Thank you.

Fun Friday #52: Which Database will you be using in v12?

The Veeam Availability Suite v12 is fast approaching, when it arrives, you’ll be able to utilise a Postgres database for VBR and VBEM, will you be using this? Or sticking to your tried and true SQL Server? Further, do you use a standard edition of SQL or higher? Or still using Express? It’d be interesting to hear the split of the people the intend to move to Postgres and what they’re coming from!

How does Veeam choose the proxy for backup

Hello guys , I was wondering if one of you know how Veeam selectionne a proxy when you leave the default option in automatic.Cause I have a remote site with a proxy deploy on my standalone ESX during the job is not my remote proxy that is used but my local one, so I let you imagine the backup performance.In my memory Veeam classifies the Proxies in groups : 1.SAN, 2.HotAdd and 3.NBD.Group 1 having the higher priority. If all proxy in group 1 are busy (max tasks used), Veeam switches to group 2. Group 3 is only used if groups 1 and 2 have no responding proxies.But in my case the remote proxy do absolutely nothing...Of course I changed the default settings to selectionne only this proxy in my job, but I curious to know the exact process.

SOBR rebalancing with hardened Linux repo - division by zero?

Most of us love and embrace SOBRs as well as hardened Linux repos for obvious reasons.Once in a while a SOBRs shifts out of balance because VBR cannot predict sizes of VMs and especially chains with changes.Therefore, for a non-immutable repo we have ways to rebalance the SOBR: KB3100: Manually moving backup files between Scale-Out Backup Repository extents (veeam.com)V12 will even bring us the conservation of space optimizations here: New in VBR v12: True per-machine backup files - vNote42This though is and will not be an easy task for the hardened Linux repo, as it will prevent files from being moved between the extents. I e.g. currently face a customers SOBR with one extent having 0% free while the others all have more than 80% free...Question is: Did you ever face this challange? How did you solve it? (Build chains from scratch? Disable immutability, reorg files, enable immutabilty?)

Best DR approach for Service Provider

Hi guys,first of all, hope this is not a duplicated post.I would like to discuss about best options for DR solutions of VMware on-prem environments.Working for a small-medium SP,  I can use our datacenters as target of Veeam Cloud Connect replicas.Sometimes it is difficult to make a large amount of resources (cpu, ram, storage, bandwidth..) available to the customer in a short time.Furthermore, in my opinion it is not the best approach in terms of cost optimization and resource efficiency.One solution might be to use public clouds as a target, but using VMware the options are narrow.What do you think about it?

VBO365 - Public folders - Modern authentication and Legacy Protocols

Hi all As you all know, Microsoft is deprecating basic authentication from the first of October.So if you are using basic authentication in VBO365, it will no longer work.Personally we never use basic authentication, only modern authentication.Only when the customer is using public folders we are activating the option legacy protocols.What will happen with the backups of public folders after the deprecation of basic authentication when using modern authentication with legacy protocols.I assume that the backups are still working, except for the public folders. Am I correct?If so, what is the solution, alternative?Migrating the public folder to a shared mailbox or sharepoint online, so a backup is than possible?What if the customer still wants to use public folders?I know that Microsoft wants to get rid of public folders and is now in this pushing this 🤔.I already read the article on the Veeam forum, but no real solution or feedback from Microsoft.Public folder backup after October 1st
