Very small environment - ten users and two quite old servers Fujitsu Primergy TX1310 M1 with Windows Server 2012 R2 Foundation. They have the same hardware, the only difference is in disks models and capacity. The first one is a domain controller (+DNS, DHCP, home folders, other shares). The second one is joined to domain with installed Veeam B&R 12 Community + MS SQL Server. Both servers are built on internal LSI Software RAID (four disks, 2x RAID 1). AD server has two partitions on LUN 0, the first one is OS volume. Recently we had serious power problems and AD server stopped to work properly - no licenses, no services, no RDP etc. I was able to log in locally but there was a problem with networking - the interfaces worked very slow and sometimes stopped. I was not able to start services nor change their settings - the service property window was frozen during saving. I wasn’t able to install any update because of the network problems. After next and next etc. restart it start

I am soliciting feedback from the community and Vanguards in Slack about an issue we are seeing so wanted to get feedback here also.Scenario - we have a customer using v12 with latest patches sending data to one of our DCs with Hitachi HCP Cloud Scale cluster which is very large.  They are sending over 20PB of data to us.Object Lock is turned on for some of the buckets and we are seeing billions of gets/puts/list commands which is causing havoc on the cluster worker nodes for HCPCS.The client has configured their jobs with the default block size of 1MB and we were thinking to change that to 4MB, but it would not make sense for 106-byte files.  That is the sizing of the files we are seeing the issue on for three buckets of which 2 of them are Windows servers and one is Linux.Any thoughts or has anyone run in to this before?  I am working with Veeam and Hitachi together as well but if this rings a bell for anyone your input would be great.Thanks.

I’ve added a shared mailbox to an existing backup job this morning - the mailbox is 7GB in Office 365. The job completed a little while later but in the summary I see “Transferred: 419.6 MB (25466 items)”. Those figures don’t add up, so I’d like to investigate more but I can’t see a way to show the backed up data size for any mailbox. How do I do that? 

Hi Folks,(I don’t want to be mean but… sales people can quite seriously perturb me. I don’t know if it is because I assume immediately that they think I am some kind of spaced out idiot, or perhaps that as Don Corleone said “nothing personal just business” i.e. they are mass sending messages using AS (Artificial Stupidity) to change the name etc. I am getting more and more of the following on Linkedin like this today  “Hi Goff (so much for AI.. at least it won’t be taking my job in the near future), we noticed that you are a Veeam Professional (what in the name of the Salisbury soccer team is a Veeam Professional?, is that some kind of new certification? have I overdosed on Veeam swag and now been permanently branded a VP (alas not Vice President). Then follows the ingenious sales pitch. “you might be interested in…...” The minute I see “you might be” there is macro in my amygdala that furiously injects the word NOT into the sentence. I have long s

Hi,I’d like to add Recovery ISO to boot menu so that I don’t have to use USB. Is there a way to do it?

Hello everyone! Recently I installed a new VEM, however I notice that configuration button is missing on the right corner: Am I forgetting something?I presume it is a permission problem, but I cannot remember that.

Hey Community, we have Customers, which have quite a big Physical Infrastructure. It would be really Helpful, if the Protection Groups can not only be having Top Level Folders, but 1 or 2 Subfolders for Organization. Something like:Steel Production Hot (Protection Group) Cold (Protection Group) North Wing 1st-Floor Management (Protection Group) Sales (Protection Group) 2nd-Floor Technic (Protection Group) Engineers (Protection Group)  If you are thinking different or have a better solution for my Problem, i would be happy to hear/read what you have to say. GreetingsMathias

Hi folks,Can someone explain to me “the programming dummy” this word mutex? Is it just a log shock and awe term, i.e. someone like Geoff sees something “mutex” in the logs and thinks back to Grade 10 Math and makes a quick retreat? 😁Recently I have seen this word in different logs and wanted to double check with the pros before I press the terrifying search button on google. (I say that because I had a red mark on my face and thought I should google, it basically told me all the horrible things that it could be, until the unsponsored answer way at the bottom had a nothing to worry about explanation)!!

Hello,We are going to set up a backup copy of a vm on a compatible S3 storage, and we will apply a GFS policy.Immutability is activated for 7 days on the object storage.Can you confirm this information below? Do you have a veeam article that explains this?The immutability of GFS backups is not based on the immutability period defined in the Object Storage Repository, but on the retention period of the GFS backup point (e.g. Annual with a retention period of 7 years will have immutability defined for 7 years, so it won't be deletable for 7 years).

Hi,With VAMW, can I exclude some folders/files in Volume backup?Thanks

Hi,I was trying to restore individual files after booted in using the Veeam Recovery Media ISO (from USB stick) but not like in Windows it only supports restoring volumes I guess or am I missing something?  Thanks

If a backup copyjob shows one vm in the job in a warning status that says “Waiting for backup resources availability”; did that particular VM actually copy over or did it ultimately fail to copy over?

My final Veeam Update. The aftermath! It did not take long for my swag to disappear. This time Alfred the Legend Cat and the Veeam Teddy bear I found with their new friend Carlos. Carlos is highly trained in DH, “Dealing with Humans” so he always opens his eyes slightly when people approach, just in case, the old trust but check thing :) If you look closely below in his den you will also see the Cloudian Ninja hanging out as well.  Carlos 

hello, my problem is the following: I have a backup job scheduled at 5 p.m. and a continuous replication job on one of my virtual machines.  So it happens that the 2 tasks are done at the same time.  When that happens, my VM no longer works (it seems frozen, it can no longer be reached by ping, nor by remote desktop, the database it contains is no longer reachable either).  I am therefore obliged to stop one of the jobs.  help me please

SureBackup with Agents is a brand new V12 feature I already blogged about:SureBackup with physical workloads - and some more gems | Veeam Community Resource HubAlready using it in production environments, we now faced an issue with a job consisting of a DC and and Exchange server. Both are physical machines originally. For the DC everything worked fine in the SureBackup run. But the Exchange server failed with:Error: Results: cannot detect IP addressThis is right at the beginning of the testing process and even when I disable all checks.Doing an Instant-Recovery manually with the Exchange, I could determined that the exchange VM - after the necessary P2V and intial boot - shows up an “unknown network adapter” in device manager. Installing the built-in Windows driver

We are using Veeam Backup and Replication 11, getting this error when backing up the servers: 

I’d backed up some data for a group of users during a mail migration. The job is complete so I’ve deleted it all to free up the licenses for another job. Unfortunately I believe that I’ve done things in the wrong order. The repository has been deleted and now I can’t get “Remove-VBOLicensedUser”. For every user it outputs:“Remove-VBOLicensedUser : The process cannot access the file '\\10.1.1.1\office365backups\BackupName\Repository.xml' because it is being used by another process” The repository listed is nothing to do with these users and it’s not in user by any process that I can see - certainly openfiles is blank. Any idea how to proceed? 

We have used NAS device to create a backup folder with Commvault. Can we upload the backup from NAS to Cloud? We are using Community Edition 10
