Veeam Agent backup failure due to VSS error. When checked in Event logs, found an error for VSS “automatically choosing a diff-area volume processing endpreparesnapshots”. Has anybody worked on this without rebooting the server?

Start Backup when USB drive is inserted

Hi, I vaguely recall seeing an option where a backup job is automatically started when a USB drive containing a backup repository is plugged into the server.  I can’t seem to find it again…was I dreaming?Thanks, Hammer

Resetting CBT per job settings for active fulls

We relocated one of our VMs to another backup job and noticed that the job completion status information for the VM is “Resetting CBT per job settings for active fulls”. Our backup jobs are configured with incremental backups and one synthetic full backup per week.  I am curious if we move one of the VMs to another backup job, does Veeam automatically perform an active full on it? Thanks Pete

Veeam options for longer term copies

Running Veeam v12 and currently backing up for 14 days to a local HPE storeonce.I want to also put a longer term copy into an AWS S3 bucket for about 1 year. Probably once a month.The best option I think is to perform a backup copy, not via a SOBR.If via copy is there a compatibility issue creating a copy job from storeonce catalyst repos to S3 repos? thoughts?

Random failures on new setup

So we are deploying Veeam for ourselves and I have been fighting with it for a few days.  Our setup is: Veeam server - Non-Domain joinedVeeam Proxy - Linux with XFS volume attached via RDM in VMwareA scale out Repo setup that is backed by the xfs volume from the Linux machineOur primary Altera arrays are also added into Veeam under the storage Infrastructure and i am able to browse the snapshots on them and perform restores. Both servers are located in the same site/network.  The storage is coming from a LUN on an Altera Hybrid array that is presented to both hosts in the esxi cluster.We have a mix of domain joined, non-domain joined windows machines along with some random Linux boxes.  I just have a simple nightly backup job created that has all of our servers included in it.  I have selected the Linux proxy for the backup proxy in the job which then pulls in the Scale-out Backup Repo.  In the advanced settings everything is default with the exception of changing the compression level

Veeam Backup Service completly stuck randomly

I learned a lot during the last few weeks about Veeam and I am kind of exited about this software. I resolved almost all problems, but there is still one issue I cant get a grip on. Ich have several backup jobs in a chain. No parallel Jobs. I have a lightning fast proxy (Veeam suggests a maximum of 24 parallel jobs).My persisting promlem is, that jobs get stuck absolutly randomly. Sure, after hours the stuck job fails, goes into retry1 and finishes successfull. But thats not satisfying… Is there anything I missed about jobs getting stuck? Just for your information: Jobs launch and run. They get stuck somewhere after 20%, 50% or 90%. So abolutly random… I recognized that the “veeam backup service” gets completly frozen. This service cant be stopped by anything else than a server restart.

ESXi 8.0.2b Now Available

Hey Everyone,VMware has recently rolled out the newest iteration of ESXi, version 8.0.2b. Among its fixes of fixes and enhancements, one particular fix should be called out: addressing an issue related to Changed Block Tracking (CBT) and virtual machines with a hot extended virtual disk.  In vSphere 8.0 Update 2, to optimize the open and close process of virtual disks during hot extension, the disk remains open during hot extend operations. Due to this change, incremental backup of virtual disks with CBT enabled might be incomplete, because the CBT in-memory bitmap does not resize, and CBT cannot record the changes to the extended disk block. As a result, when you try to restore a VM from an incremental backup of virtual disks with CBT, the VM might fail to start. For more information and to get the bits, head over to the release notes page of 8.0.2b.

Can a veeam server be a proxy from another Veeam server?

I have customer with two veeam servers and we want to de-mote one to just be a proxy. As we transition, could the 2nd veeam server also be a proxy for the main veeam server while we test all backups from the main server. Once all looks good then we can uninstall B&R and just run that host purely as a proxy.thoughts?

How to calculate Storage Area Network (SAN) Storage in a Physical Server + SAN as REPO setup

Hi All,We are designing a new Veeam Backup Solution. This will be a hardened solution with Linux OS on REPO Server for immutability Snapshot integration will be setup for Veeam to backup from NetApp Snapshots Solution will consist of virtual VMware proxy servers, 1 physical server as the repository server with RHEL installed, iSCSI connected Storage Area Network (SAN) Storage to provide the Repo storage to this RHEL physical serverWe need to understand the Storage Area Network (SAN) Storage requirements such as how much RAM, CPU that SAN should have on the 2 controllers? The Physical RHEL repo server will have 128GB memory, 2 x 18 core CPUs and can see the sizing detail for this in the vse sizer, however have not been able to see sizing around the SAN and the RAM/CPU they should have as we dont want to be in a position where the SAN Controllers are struggling. Thanks,

since installing Agent 6.1.0.349 many "Job HOST_1"s being created

Before installing Agent for Windows 6.1.0.349, unlicensed, I’d never seen a “Job HOST_1” created. That’s on something like seven years and two or three Windows 10/11 clients running the free agent every night. Since installing 6.1.0.349, I see these created by one or more of the three clients most night. One client is Windows 10, two are Windows 11, all target a Synology Diskstation over SMB, one via Ethernet connection and two via WiFi.These started showing up the first night after installing the Agent update.I’ve deleted or relocated the _1 job folder on the server, and then edited the job on the client to map it back to the “Job HOST” backup set. It says HOST is already using the backup Job HOST. I say OK. Happiness is restored, the job runs as expected, and all is good until I go looking for Job HOST_1 folders the next morning. Rinse and repeat.Any suggestions?

ONTAP 9.14.1 now supported with Veeam Data Platform 12.1.

For any NetApp ONTAP or Lenovo ONTAP fans. Veeam has qualified ONTAP 9.14.1 GA with Veeam Data Platform 12.1. One of the features I was waiting for was ONTAP S3 with Object Lock for ransomware protection. Unfortunately this did not work for me see screenshot below. I have reported it to NetApp. They told me that it could be fixed in an ONTAP 9.14.1 “P” release. The non object lock version still works😀.   Veeam Documentation link for NetAppNetApp FAS/AFF/ASA, FlexArray (V-Series), ONTAP Edge/Select/Cloud VSAhttps://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/system_requirements.html?ver=120#netapp-fas-aff-asa--flexarray--v-series---ontap-edge-select-cloud-vsaVeeam Documentation link for LenovoLenovo DM Serieshttps://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/system_requirements.html?ver=120#lenovo-dm-seriesNetApp ONTAP 9.14.1 Release Noteshttps://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2492508

Resrever port ranges on Cloud Connect and VSPC server for communications

Hi Team,The question is based on the article Veeam Service Provider Console 8.0 Deployment Guide’ ( Veeam Service Provider Console 8.0 (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vac/deployment/ports.html?ver=80). Communications from Veeam Service Provider Console Server to Veeam Cloud Connect server the on TCP  port range 49152 to 65535. As per a Veeam support team person, they mentioned that, it is better to open around 50-100 ports to facilitate potential requests between the servers.Just wondering the best method to assign the ports through the firewall. Tried using the ‘netstat -aon’ to identify any listening state ports. To facilitate the connection from VSPC server to VCC server, simply can create an outbound rule on the VSPC server firewall for the specified port range (49152 - 65535) and an inbound firewall rule on the VCC server for the same port range.However, not sure whether this is the best method to achieve the task in a production environment since, opening ports on a server unn
