Fun Friday: World Backup Day 2022 Countdown continues - Choose your backup!

Hi Everyone, The countdown to World Backup Day 2022 continues!If you missed the previous Fun Friday post/game then check it out here! I want to stick with the fun theme here and have a new game. I’ll provide a scenario and you can choose what type of backup YOU would want, and leave a comment as to the why below! There’s no right or wrong here, just perspectives. What has worked for you? What gave you buyers remorse and made you want to choose something else? Scenario:You’re responsible for data protection in your organisation and have asked for budget to get some form of immutability or airgapped backup in-place. You have only one chance to get your budget approved and need to justify why you believe it is best. What do you go for? Why? Infrastructure:You have a simple three-node vSphere cluster running 20VMs, total production size of 10TB. This is connected to the internet via a 1Gbps link with a 1Gbps MPLS connection to a DR site, this has three-nodes and no production workloads. Yo

How full backup + incrementals daily

Hi,Does anyone know how to get Veeam to copy the Full backup + incrementals to tape daily? As in each day a new tape has both.  Alternativly I would be happy for it to create a synthetic full to tape each day.Ideally i dont want to do a reverse incremental incase they decide to go to cloud as well at a later date.Veeam just seems to refuse to backup files it already has on another tape! Thanks for the help.

If that by itself isn’t enough to make you jump straight on the register button… there are some prizes being given away too! Register here:https://go.veeam.com/world-backup-day-2022 Now, onto Fun Friday!Veeam make backups for a lot of SaaS and infrastructure platforms, but unfortunately, Veeam only protect digital assets.

Restore os image of a different VM to another.

I performed a full backup  on one of the Severs via Veeam Standalone backup agent. I want to test if that “full backup” is an accurate one.So, what I would like to do it restore that “full backup” on a different VM or a Windows Server. So I can compare. Is it possible?

Cannot backup a VM with a GPU

 Investigating another issue where 2 VM’s have GPU’s thus VMware will not allow a snapshot of the VM’s. I am sure this question has been asked before, how can I backup these VM’s? They are running on vSphere 6.7 and the machines are Red Hat Linux 8 using an NVIDIA GPU. Also have a question about the jobs. All the VM’s were added using the vCenter server at the top level. So when these VM’s fail it seems to me the entire job get’s killed. These 2 VM’s fail, then I get a message all VM’s have been queued for processing and then a job error/failure message and it ends.

Fun Friday: World Backup Day 2022 Countdown continues - Backup Confession Time

The best way to deal with problems is to acknowledge them, and address them. Story time: I often say, there are two types of people in the world, those who’ve lost data, and those who are about to. Why do I say this? Because I’ve lost data. My PC is approaching a decade in age, with a motherboard that was always slightly questionable, it would periodically boot into BIOS/UEFI instead of booting, despite seeing the SSD attached within the boot menu, a reboot would always fix it.Suddenly the boot problem became more apparent, requiring multiple reboots to successfully connect. Then suddenly one day, it wouldn’t boot and wouldn’t see my SSD. I tested the SSD in a caddy and it was completely dead. No SMART warnings beforehand either. Thankfully it was a smaller OS device so after licking my wounds, reinstalling Windows onto a new SSD and a lot of manual retrieval of data from the various cloud services I use, I was back up and running. But clearly, a backup would’ve saved me from all that
