Cannot create SOBR - "Failed to save scale-out backup repository" when saving

I am trying to make a second scale out repository (not overlapping with the first) and I keep getting the following message when trying to save it… “Summary: Failed to save scale-out backup repository: F:\Backup Copy” I got this message another time but pointing to a different directory, which linked to some orphaned backups. I deleted those in hopes this would fix it, but it just keeps throwing a different backup path each time. This specific one doesn’t even exist on my server under backup repos or disk backups (copies or orphaned), so I have no clue how to get past this. When I check the logs, all I see is this… [13.10.2022 17:08:05] <01> Error        Failed to save scale-out backup repository.[13.10.2022 17:08:05] <01> Error        Failed to save scale-out backup repository:[13.10.2022 17:08:05] <01> Error        F:\Backup Copy (System.Exception)[13.10.2022 17:08:05] <01> Error           at Veeam.Backup.UI.Sobr.CSobrWizardCtx.SaveRepository(String& warni

lost restore point

We had a firm that upgraded our veeam to v 11.In the same time, we replace the SAN.The original SAN that was used for backup was replaced by the new unit.The original SAN was then used for the copy, and the copy SAN not use anymore.It appear that we lost all 95% of restore point that we had before cause of a disk space problem that corrupt the file for most jobs in the server. Now we only have one month of restore point cause. we lost everything else. We think that it was cause of a bad way to upgrade, but the consulting firm continue to claim that it was the disk space problem that caused the loss of six-month  backup.is it possible that the disk space corrupt all the restore point and there is no way to recover the old backup or maybe from our old copy SAN that is still unused since the migration?Thanks for your help.

VDRO - vCenter Location or HA Configuration

Hey all, getting ready to setup VDRO in the lab and production, but I have questions on the location of the vCenter server.  Currently, my vCenter is located in the primary site, but wondering if it should be instead setup at the recovery site, or if I should have HA or ELM configured so that there is a second vCenter setup at the recovery site.  ELM doesn’t sound as useful for this situation, but HA may work and there is low enough latency between the primary and recovery sites to support HA.  That said, I was hoping to the put the witness at our third site, but latency is higher to that location so that may not work.  Anyhow, I know I need to get my VBR backup server moved to the recovery site (was already on my list) but what’s considered the best practice here?

How do you bond/team NICs in Linux?

This topic is not directly related to Veeam. But because of the Veeam Hardened repositories running on Linux, this is also an topic for Veeam.Do you prefer bonding or teaming?https://ngelinux.com/difference-between-bonding-and-teaming-in-linux/https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/networking_guide/sec-comparison_of_network_teaming_to_bondingWith bonding, which mode do you prefer?https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/networking_guide/overview-of-bonding-modes-and-the-required-settings-on-the-switchI personally preferred bonding with ALB. But lately I have heard more and more about problems with this mode.What are your experiences with this topic?

All I want for Christmas is LDAP!

This may be a head in the clouds idea/thought, but I really wish there were way (and there may be and I just don’t know about it) to link Veeam to Active Directory and stored domain credentials automatically get updated whenever a needed password gets changed or updated due to rotation policies. No more ‘RPC server unavailable’ errors!

VeeamOn Update Labwarz - How'd you do?

Apparently I knew all of the linux commands...and I’m not really a linux guru by any means but guessed well on a few of them.  Also didn’t realize that I can do malware scanning in a SureBackup job until now.... Scored a 39121 which I think is decent?  I see a bunch of folks scored higher, including @JonahMay.  How about the rest of y’all?https://labwarz.veeam.com/

Veeam SQL Database server local or External question.

I have used both. Internal SQL express, external SQL server, SQL server in an Always ON cluster replicated to our DR site. All 3 worked great, I have never noticed a difference in performance, and never hit the limits.Here are my questions about SQL and Veeam.Has anyone here ever hit the SQL Express limits?Has anyone here ever installed a full blown SQL instance on their Veeam server? Did this make much difference than an external SQL server?We have a DB admin, so using external is pretty easy for me, but I really have no clue when I'll outgrow SQL Express.  I suppose I can change it up in V12 as well with the new option.

unable to use database as it was created with an earlier version

Dear concern, we have one server where we had a previous version (9.5 U4b) of Veeam running for some tests on. However we’ve never really used it until now. That time veeam was removed from the system however it seems not completely. While trying to install version 11 on this particular server, we are now getting an error message, telling that usage of DB for VeeamBackup is not possible as it has been created with an older version of veeam. Indeed there are still two DB services running. What is the best way to get this clean as we will use this server to run as our B/R server in the future but of course on main latest. The goal is to have a clean installation of veeam 11 now in order to reduce future problems in case of any migration is necessary for a new version. thanks and best regards Stephan

M365 backups - transport

Hi, quick question. We are moving to M365 for email. Our Veeam infrastructure will remain on-premise. Per Veeam literature, says that I can backup my 365 mailboxes to any location, inclusive of on-premises. If we backup our 365 mbxs back down to our local infrastructure, will there be any egress bandwidth costs assessed by Microsoft? So if I have 1TB database now on-prem, and we move that to M365, for that very first backup, should I expect Microsoft to assess some bandwidth costs for that 1TB pull? Moreover, for any subsequent backups where presumably only deltas from the prior are processed, will I see transport costs there too?Thank you in advance.Cheers.
