migrating backups to new object storage bucket

Hello Veeam community!I have been trying to determine best approach for a backup migration from one object storage bucket to another and need some help.  My customer has a large amount of data in the 100’s of TB’s of backups and a bucket copy will take 30 days which is too long.  They also don’t have the space to pull it all back down locally to copy to the new bucket so that option won't work.  I am going to have them setup a new capacity tier in SOBR and start new jobs going to the new bucket.  But the issue is the old backups on the old bucket are left orphaned.  i need to move some but not all of the backups due to retention policy.  I was trying to determine which backup objects are related to which backup jobs but can’t determine backup_id via powershell.  my thinking is this would allow me to “grab” the backups that need to be moved to the new bucket.  Does anyone have a helpful tip on how to get this accomplished?  Thank you!

Veeam backup copy job directly to the cloud?

Hi,Please can you clarify if it is possible will Veeam to do a backup copy job directly to say an AWS bucket, or Azure Blob? We want to move away from using tape, but do not want to implement Veeam Connct and all its associated complexity.Kind regardsAndrew Rycroft

Restore to AWS and use user data/script

Hi.I use restore from on-premise to aws via veeam. It works perfect but I need option to run scripts on aws after restore. Something like user data on aws ( Specify user data to provide commands or a command script to run when you launch your instance. Input is base64 encoded when you launch your instance unless you select the User data has already been base64 encoded check box. )Is there such a functionality?

copy backups to object store in VBR 9.5

In VBR11 in scale-out configuration there is an option “Copy backups to object storage as soon as they are created” which is missing in VBR9.5. Is there a forcible way to copy it anyway? :)

Fun Friday #47: Your favourite piece of community content so far

Happy Friday everyone! So, next month it will have been two years since the Veeam Community Hub was first revealed during VeeamON Update 2020. During this time, there are now over 13.6k users, nearly 20k comments, and over 2.6k topics. Lets take a moment and reflect on those numbers, it’s VEEAMAZING. What’s also amazing is the visibility this platform gives to amazing content, even content that isn’t directly related to Veeam can get hundreds or thousands of viewsExhibit A: Exhibit B:Exhibit C:Now I turn to the community and ask, was there any particular topic or content that you were especially impressed with? Maybe it didn’t get the visibility you thought it deserved at the time and want to re-share it? Whatever the reason, please share your favourite topics below and why you like them! For me, it’s actually this awesome recovery post from @falkob that I wish had got more attention:It’s a scenario we never want, but will inevitably face due to one reason or another, having someone ex

Can't upgrade to or install Veeam Agent 5.0.3.4708 on Windows 10

Hello, I attempted to upgrade a v4 Veeam Agent (free version -- this is at home) to the latest v5.0.3.4708 and it failed, saying I needed to install Sql Server 2012 Express localdb, which was already there. (FWIW I successfully did this upgrade on two other similar PCs before trying this one.) I tried uninstalling the old version of Veeam and it still failed. I then uninstalled Sql Server Management Objects and CLR Types, trying to get a clean slate. The installer said it was installing the prerequisites, then died again. The logs say that Sql Server installed successfully, but either Veeam just doesn’t think so, or it can’t see it. The “endpoint<timestamp>.log” is showing an exception that just doesn’t say much of anything.[16.09.2022 14:28:53][INFO] Checking presence of Microsoft Universal C Runtime redist.[16.09.2022 14:28:53][INFO] 'ucrtbase.dll' module is found, redistributable is already installed.[16.09.2022 14:28:53][INFO] Checking presence of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Sy

Veeam MOVE to capacity TIER

Hi TeamWe have a challenge with one of our customers .They have requested for a monthly full backup to be stored for 12 month retention.They had requested for the same to be stored on cloud for the same considering onpremise storage space .We have added an blob object storage from Azure and created a SOBR with the same as capacity tier and onpremise performance tier. We have configured the data to move after every 5 days from performance to capacity. Configured a monthly full backup with 12 restore points to be run on the last day of the month.Movement of backups donot happen and currently 2 full backups have happened and have stored on the local onpremise repository.Support initially stated that we would need to wait for 2 backups for the previous backup to move but this has not happened.Now they have stated the configuration should be part of a GFS configuration.Nothing substantial interms of configuration has been provided clearly .Need some help or recommendations for the same .Not

Capacity tier - copy mode - work space

Can’t find anything specific about this, but have to assume when using the COPY mode, Veeam uses some work space to extract/hold the data blocks before copying to the Capacity tier?

Feature Request - Remove Capacity and Archive Tier Object Storage Restrictions

I would very much like to have ANY storage target be allowed to be targeted/used for a SOBR capacity or archive tier. As a for instance…  the primary performance tier for the SOBR lands on a RAID 10 of either HDD or SSD and then rather than being forced to use object storage for the Capacity and Archive tiers it would be possible to simply offload to another repo that sits on a much slower but more capacity efficient RAID 60 array of disks. That would be much appreciated. That’s just one example of course, but the point is that I would like to have the system admin ultimately determine what they want to qualify as “performance”, “capacity”, and “archive” worthy storage. If they determine that based on their needs that the “performance” tier is a RAID 10 of SSD and their “capacity” tier is a RAID 10 of HDDs, and their “archive” is a RAID 60 of HDDs… let them be the judge of that. Don’t force their hand into using object storage.For all anyone knows, what the backup/storage admin want as

Enabling ping (ICMP) on Windows Server

Frequently we need troubleshoot Veeam Backup Server through the network.However, if Windows Firewall is enabled on SO it doesn’t reply ping and echo requests. At this moment so many people act disabling Windows Firewall and mostly times don’t remember to enable it again.So, if you want to allow ping without disabling Windows Firewall you can just run this simple command on cmd:netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="ICMP Allow incoming V4 echo request" protocol=icmpv4:8,any dir=in action=allow

Restoring the whole folder from the NAS archive repository

I’ve just been informed by support that Veeam does not allow restoring more than one file per restore job from a NAS archive repository. They suggested I create a feature request, so here goes.  Can I suggest adding a “feature” that allows for multiple files and whole folders to be restored from archives? Restoring one file at a time is a ludicrous proposition if you need to restore 1000’s or even 10 files.  We’ll need to find an alternative solution as we are already concerned about user requests for future data restoration from our already archived repos.

Fun Friday #46: Most Disappointing Tech

Happy Friday, Everyone! Today I ask. What was your most disappointing piece of tech?We all know tech is supposed to improve our lives, jobs, etc, but what about when it’s over promised, and under delivered? For me, two things stick in my mind. From a gaming angle, the most disappointing tech I ever witnessed was the Steam controller, the prototype looked amazing and revolutionary, a controller with a built in, full colour screen that could be controlled by the games. Then they scaled back their vision the closer it got to release, ending up a generic controller mainly, with a couple of Haptic Touch circles that were supposed to allow for more adaptive control, but then nothing supported it, now it gathers dust on my shelf! From a more high-tech angle, it’s got to be 3D X-Point, but you probably know it as Intel Optane, even though it was a joint venture between Intel & Micron.Again, a vision was sold that this was it, we’d be swiftly bridging the gap between storage and volatile RA

Backup failure

Running Veeam free version for Linux on Dell Optiplex 5060, OS is Linux Mint Mate 20.3.  Just setting up this machine and moving from an older Dell pc.  In old pc, ran Veeam free version for years of weekly b/u’s, no issues.  Veeam downloaded and installed via Synaptic and set for full system image, target is ext. HDD, USB connection to computer.In new machine, 5 b/u’s have failed, see s/shot.  Targets were 2 different 1tb ext. disks,  each formatted to FAT32, exFAT, and then EXT4.  One of the disks is the same one used for the backup chain in the old pc, no problems..  All failed attempts show the same bottleneck, “source” after running for 2 to 8 minutes.  Not clear what to do here since no previous snags w/ Veeam.   Any suggestions appreciated!
