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 Re

Anyone using Veeam Enterprise Manager have issues with the API URL?  We use a custom built tool that connects to VEM (VBR behind the scene) and provisions customers for our VCC.  I have one server that cannot get to the API for some reason and shows the below connection reset message.I have upgraded the VEM to the latest patch from July and ensure everything with FW, etc. is configured correctly.  Any suggestions appreciated.Veeam Enterprise Manager API URL - Connection Reset Message 

Hi everyone,I am thinking of a design like that A tape library with x3 FC drives (say XYZ), connected to SAN switches Then the SAN switches connecting to 4 servers (say ABCD)Normally, the tape drives are backup up servers ABCWhich mean drive X-A, drive Y-B, driveZ-CWhen one of the servers down, (say B), server D will take up the role become X-A, Y-D, Z-Cwill it work and if Veeam support setting like that?

I have on the VBR a copy job, a backup copy job to a hardened repository and a tape job. Now for VBM the customer also wants the data to be copied on the primary repository, then a copy on the hardened repository and finally on tape, how can I configure this?

Hello, I’m new to Veeam. Are there any API’s I can use for Veeam for Salesforce. I could not find anything in Documentations. Only for other Veeam products. ThanksRainer 

I’m going to be likely setting up a new client on a VBR VM with a local NAS as their primary repository (I know...I’d rather do a purpose-built physical server but cost is an issue) and Wasabi object storage for an off-site copy (and likely replication to 11:11 Systems VCC for DR).  I’m curious now that we have backup to object and copy to object capabilities, what you folks are doing for that second copy?  Traditionally I obviously have used a SOBR using Wasabi as the capacity tier in Copy mode (move mode disabled *usually*, but I just noted that I’m performing copy and move for my internal server) so that I had the data in both locations. However, now that we can backup and copy direct to object, curious if anyone has abandoned the SOBR and are instead using a copy job to send data to the object storage and are keeping the data there with the traditional copy job managing things.  @Nico Losschaert posted a debate about the pro’s an

Hi, we have Veeam backup for Azure all setup and running and its been a couple of months. We have private network deployment with private endpoints in our environment with premium service bus and all subnets are allowed to access this service bus. We have 5 backup policies in total, 3 of them have been running fine but 2 of the jobs (with our file servers), the snapshots are running fine but the backup policy is getting failed after 4/5 hours of the session run with an error :Failed to perform backup of vm1 to Production Backups Repo 1. Worker VBA-5bf0973a-8e2c-4dda-ba63-28814324c1bb: getting of the job status failed (trace ID: b8b3fb4e-c7f0-4f86-aa22-4f2122f45b00)We have noticed that when the backup policy session starts, it backs up the data all the way to 60% percent and then it stuck for a very long time before erroring out this message. We have raised a support case with Veeam and they said they will need to check with their R&D team, as we have the

Hi, I would like to know that can we directly restore from tape for VM backup with HPE Store as disk storage Thank you

Hello everyone. I’ve been beating on this for a week and have finally given in to post a question here. I have the plug-in installed and it works great. Very easy to setup, and it just works.The problem comes where I am not very familiar with MS SQL. I would like to get email notifications for the database backups. It appears that this needs to be configured within SQL Server Management Studio. I have database mail setup and it can send test messages, but I can’t seem to get the SQL agent job for the database backup to kick out an email when it completes.Has anyone attempted to get this working who can provide me with some information?Thanks,Joe

HelloIm looking for an openshift backup solution and would like to have details about kind of objects can be backed up with Veeam\Kasten.I guess that backup of Deployments, DeploymentConfigs, StatefulSets and VMs is a “must” so what about ability to restore, if necessary, a simple secret, service-account… Can we do that?Another topic, it is possible to create a SLA selecting as source of data an specific project? Where can I find out detailed product features?Best Regards

Hi all, last week I deployed a new storage array.  I’ve migrated all production VM’s as well as replica’s that resided on the datastores, except for CDP replica’s.  I cannot for the life of me figure out how to migrate the CDP replica’s and update the CDP policy to point to the new datastores. Storage vMotion inexplicably gets cancelled by a user later on - assuming that’s VBR even though I currently have the policy disabled.  That said, I can’t modify the specified datastore below as well - all is disabled.  I thought I might clone the policy, but it looks like CDP policies can’t be cloned like backup and copy jobs - not a big deal but also caught me off-guard.So am I missing something, or do I need to recreate the policy and restart replication from scratch?

if I have a backup job with GFS, and then the job is saved in a backup copy job, will the GPS backup also be taken over or do I also have to set GFS in the backup copy job?

Hello everyone,have you read the latest news?https://www.veeam.com/news/cirrus.htmlIntroducing Cirrus by Veeam – Backup as a ServiceI understand that it is a SaaS, but what are the major differences in functionality with the existing Veeam products (Veeam backup for Azure and Veeam backup for 365) ?What will be the implications on future developments of the respective solutions? Edit: I’ve just found a post on Veeam Forum with the same argument, let’s follow the progress  https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-cloud-providers-forum-f34/cirrus-clarifications-t90286.html

Just a quick info for the community, as the deadline is today at 08:00PM/20:00 PT.VMware is doing a challenge on their Hands-On Lab Plattform via VMware Odyssey. There are 4 different labs which prepare participants for the VCP DCV (Datacenter Virtualization Professional) exam.

Hello,I'm facing a challenging situation with our Veeam server and vCenter, and I'm seeking assistance to resolve this issue. Here's the scenario:Our Veeam server is not part of our domain.Our domain computers are signed with our Domain Controller (DC) as their root certificate.The vCenter is  not part of the domain.However, the vCenter certificate is assigned by our DC, which acts as the root certificate authority.The primary issue arises when attempting to update the vCenter. I encounter an error, and I've attached a screenshot for reference.Furthermore, it's worth noting that our Veeam server is also not a member of the domain. We are utilizing Veeam Enterprise Manager.I am seeking guidance on how to resolve this matter. What steps or configurations should I consider to ensure a smooth update process for our vCenter and resolve the certificate-related errors?Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I’m running Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 6.0.2.1090 - Free Edition on my Windows 11 PC and I’ve never come across this issue so far:Open Control Panel Run restore Individual Files Select a backup date browse the backup and select a specific file the file is shown in its current state, not in the state at the time when the backup was run. Even non-existing files at backup time, created after the backup was taken, are shown in the backup treeIs it a bug? Am I supposed to set some configuration parameter?I used to navigate the backup tree and select individual files to restore specific files in their state at the time the backup was run.Thank you in advance  Vieri

I have a customer on Veeam v12 which backs up to Data domain. Veeam performs a copy job to another mtree, then the DD performs a DD replication to a central immutable DD.Customer has space issues but we are seeing old veeam backup files still on the DD. We did a delete from disk for an old backup, but the file is still on the DD.Any recommendations or seen this sort of behaviour?I’m questioning whether Veeam is cleaning up old data. Backup copy retention is only 5 days.
