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…

restore backup and keep time+date when the server was backed up, not current date/time

Hello, Thanks,I need to restore a backup, but need that date/time to match the date/time that the backup was taken.For example, I have a .vmb, .vbk, and recovery agent isoNeed to restore full backup from 10/07/2023 into a hyperv vm.But no matter what I try, after restore and reboot, the date is not set to 10/07/20231. I have setup the hyperv vm not to use “Time Synchronization”2. disable network access, so not ability to contact NTP server.3. As soon as the vm boots, but before starting the restore, i open a command prompt and manually set date to 10/07/20234. then I run the recovery, reboot into the OS and the date is wrong.Any suggestions please?

How to customize a user on Veeam Service Provider?

Dears, I have Veeam backup & replication connected to Veeam service provider console, and I would like to customize a user on VSPC to be allowed to run and stop specific jobs on VBR and not all the jobs created.Because my client wants to run some jobs manually and not periodically and I do not want him to have access to all the jobs created on VBR. Regards.

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance errors after applying updates

Hi, Yesterday, we applied the available updates to our Veeam appliance through Veeam Updater UI. There were several updates available and they all were successfully installed and the appliance were rebooted all fine. After applying the updates, we started to see this warning in our Azure portal under this Veeam appliance vm:"Virtual Machines in your subscription are running on images that have been scheduled for deprecation. Once the image is deprecated, new VMs cannot be created from the deprecated image. Upgrade to newer version of the image to prevent disruption to your workloads."As a result, our Azure site recovery replication for this appliance was broken between our primary region UK South to the secondary region UK West. When tried removing and reenabling the replication, it throws the error below:"Site recovery extension does not support the Linux operating system kernel version running on the source machine. Ensure that the VM is running a supported Linux Operating system."Al

Quarterly backup to USB setup suggestions

Hi, team I need some advice. We have a client that we need to do a quarterly full backup for. We would like to run an active full to a USB attached drive that will be rotated out each quarter. Each USB drive will be designated for a specific quarter (i.e. USB Quarter 1, Quarter 2, etc). This job will only run once per quarter and we would like each run to be a full backup. What is the best way to accomplish this in VBR 11a?

SQL restart when doing Instant DB recovery

SQL restart when doing Instant DB recoveryThe Database went offline and in Recovery Pending state. It is currently doing Instant DB Recovery. Is it safe to restart SQL to bring the Database online without affect transactions already in the cache folder? Would it affect the Instant DB recovery process (I don’t think so but better to ask). What other processes should we consider before doing a restart of the SQL? Thanks.
