POC of Ransomware Protection

Last month I got a POC request from my customer, they are looking for a new data protection solution to replace their current backup solution. The requirements are below.Backup storage should come with encryption and immutable features. The backup data retention is 31 days in on-perm. We target to have 7 days or more in object storage which will be managed by Cloud Service Provider. SQL transaction log backup will be happening for every 15 mins. For SQL backup, only backup the SQL instance and copy it into the object storage. The Cloud Service Provider cannot access the backup data directly from object storage Keep one data copy in two separate object storages. If both Veeam Backup Server and Veeam Respository are attached by ransomware, we can restore data from the object storage to the production server in HQ. The backup solution is fully supported with VMware vSphere 7.0 and 8.0.I prepared the following environment for this POC. HQ Site1 x Veeam Backup and Replication Server v121 x

Managed Service Provider - Alternate monitoring solutions?

I work for an MSP and we rent Veeam licenses to our clients. We can monitor backups through the Veeam Service Provider Console but their are some features that are lacking using this. We are looking for a more robust monitoring to make certain that our clients backups are functioning. One specific thing that the VSPC lacks is reporting on issues with offloading to a capacity tier. Tech support verified this and put in a suggestion for this feature. We want something that has consolidated reporting. We look at the VSCP alerts twice per day currently.Does anyone know of any product that we can use to get better reporting on errors / alerts?

Questions on veeam backup with nutanix & veeam repository

Hey guys, I have two questions For veeam backup for nutanix, after I install a nutanix plugin on VBR will veeam setup a nutanix proxy VM or should we setup the proxy VM in the nutanix cluster? If VBR backups to a repository, later VBR crashes and I deploy another VBR and add the repository which has the backups stored, will this new VBR able to access or see the backups stored?

Database corruptions on restore

Hi All, I have recurring intermittent issues with restoring VMs. Host machine is Windows 2016 Hyper-VWith VMs ranging from Windows 2012 r2 to 2016 server.I am not getting any errors reported in the backup or restore process, but what i find is on starting up the VM a database might be corrupted. This can range from NTDS, DHCP, or single exchange databases.I have noticed that if i do a restore of just the disk file, instead of a full VM restore that the VM will then work fine.Backups are made to a set of rotated USB hard drives, however, issues still occur when the files are copied to a local hard drive.We were running an old version of 9.5 but have since tried community editions of 11 and 12.Anyone have any thoughts? Im guessing it might have something to do with replaying transaction logs?

Extract data from backup in S3 Object storage created by Windows endpoint backup

Hi all,A user formatted his laptop as revenge to his company, but a valid endpoint backup was taken using Endpoint agent backup for workstation to a dedicated S3 object storage bucket.So we’re out of meta-data but should have 7 valid backup points in Object Storage. Now I want to get FLR from this backup with minimum effort, so I was thinking of adding the Repo in an Existing VBR 12.1 and import the backups from there.Attaching the bucket: no problemSyncing the repo: no problemImporting backups from the bucket: problem :-( I get the message: Failed to synchronize Object Storage <Object Name> Folder does not exist.Anybody tried this before ? Another path could be to install the Endpoint agent on a donor machine and try to connect from to the repo and perform restores…

Tape Servers - Limits & Expansion - Service Providers when do you expand?

I wanted to ask any Service Providers out there that may use tape with Veeam - do you have sizing set up so that when you have X number of Tenants you add tape drives or another tape server?I am working on our design for our Veeam VCC to Tape offering and I am trying to put together some rough estimations of when you have X number of tenants on VCC you add either - X number of tape drives more or add a second/third tape server to the mix.We have currently 47 tenants with one tape server which had 3 tape drives connected (now it is up to 6 as we added 3 more yesterday) but it still seems to be a bit of a headache due to the number of jobs running plus when a Restore request comes in.Hopefully someone has experience around this as I have also asked our SA at Veeam as well to see if there is any documentation, they have similar to the limit's spreadsheet for VBM365 which is great.Thank for looking and chiming in. 😁

Backup CIFS share to Cloud Connect

Currently Cloud Connect doesn’t support direct backup CIFS share to this repository. Currently my workaround is;CIFS share > robo copy local > Veeam agent backup to Cloud Connect Is there an alternative? And will CIFS share backup will be supported in the near future directly to an Cloud Connect repository?

Data Centre technology are extremely vulnerable and malicious to Ransomware.Let me know how Veeam protects

A data center consists of groups of networking and computational infrastructure that process and store information for a business in a central location. To keep it secure, businesses must employ both virtual and physical systems designed to protect the data center. In addition to protecting the organization's computational assets, specific network security measures must be implemented to prevent malware attacks and other threats from penetrating the data center. Considering the above details  how Incident management is a series of steps taken to identify, analyze, and resolve critical incidents  to protect from Ransomware attacks what are steps taken veeam

How to do a lot of IT courses Tips and Tricks

HI Everyone. I seem always to be doing at least 2 IT courses at the same time. The reasons are many but I can enumerate a few: One I enjoy IT :), Two I am worried about getting behind, Three I want to get ahead, Four I am addicted to getting the course completions certificates and certifications because it makes up for my years of goofing off in grade school and all but the last year of High School. Back then teachers were not very politically correct so I was called a moron, a pain in the a, imbecile, lazy, annoying and many other attributes which in today’s world would land the teacher in court :) . This obviously inflicted me with deep impostor syndrome whenever I find myself sitting at a table with smart folks :).So I am always doing courses. Now no one really pays you do do courses so you have to somehow fit them in with the boring stuff. i.e. work. I have a few tricks but wanted to know if you had any as well. For one thing on most courses you can turn up the speed of the lecture

Fun Friday #56: Labbing on the go

Happy Friday everyone! For those of you with access to a lab/test environment, what do you use when you’re “on the move”. Maybe it’s public cloud, maybe a VPN back to a DC/Home, maybe it’s a portable enough workload you can run it from your laptop. Curious to hear how people tackle this when mobile 🙂

The Path to becoming and Legend or Vanguard can be tough but it is so worth it! Veeam100Summit!!

 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

Home Lab Special Section?

Hi Everyone,I have moved forward on my home lab. Proxmox is installed and I am finding it very intuitive. I now have to see about what I can do about a Veeam setup (can I nest a Veeam supported Hypervizor in there etc). I have also added one of those ethernet over power lines connections to my basement. That also seems to be working perfectly, hooray no need to rip out walls for cabling. I got to thinking though, so many of us need to test and play with Veeam outside of work confines and the info about home labs is scattered all over the site in different posts. Do  people think it would be helpful to have a separate Home Lab section. This is a place where newbies or people re-thinking their setup could come with the ultimate goal of getting more lab exposure to Veeam. Or should we just leave as be and use the search function? What does everyone think? Again I don’t know how feasible this would be and it would not be a new group per-se. Just an idea.

Math behind the sizer

Hi everyone, greetings…I am not sure the math behind for this settings I seen the default is Forwards Incrementals with Weekly FullsSo mean Mon-Sat incremental x6, Sun full x1Daily 30 which keeps 26 incremental, 4 fullMonthly 3 which keeps 3 fullYearly 3 which keeps 3 full For full I think it’s related to ReFS, but not sure how it become 9.92TBFor incremental backup I calculated as 30TB *5% *30days *50% = 22.5TB (somewhat different)Weekly 0 because GFS set 0Monthly 3 copies = (30 + 30.25 + 30.5) * 50% reduction = 45.375 TB if w/o ReFS (but I tested it is 39.24TB if w/o ReFS in sizer) - I tried it by index 30+30.24+30.48 *50% = 45.36TB also different Btw, what are the ReFS ~50% compression comes from? any docs for that? And lastly for yearly (30+33+36.3)*50% reduction = 49.65TB w/o ReFS (very close to calculator this time but not exactly) And why the ReFS does not significant in yearly ?Turning on /off does not affect the yearly sizing much If ReFS turned off
