gMSA V12 services

Hi everyoneWe did install in our test environment Veeam VBR V12I want to test the gMSA.Installed as subscribed inhttps://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/using_gmsa.html?ver=120Is it possible to run the Veeam Service with gMSA and so yes on which services I should run it on.Currently the Veeam services on this test VBR are running with the local system account.I have on a production VBR the services running with a service account worked fine but after the last crittical update I had to change the Veeam NFS service to local system as It did make my SureBackup during the mounting phase.Looking forward to your comments!

CDP and Replica Snapshot alerts at DR site question.

What do you guys do in your VMware environments for VMs using CDP or replicas? Once I have a bunch of snapshots at the DR site vCenter likes to give nice little red alerts. Other monitoring systems tend to remind you that there are too many snapshots too. I found the easiest way is to disable that alert at the DR site, but I have to be manually monitoring my environment to make sure an unwanted snapshot doesn’t get left behind somewhere.

v12 Upgrades through Service Provider Console - Check the Logs

I ran several V12 updates through our Service Provider Console and just wanted to make sure that anyone else running these upgrades watches for this issue as well. The issue being, when you push the update and it updates successfully, check the results to make sure that it reenabled all backup and copy jobs at the end. I had a handfull of upgrades where it stated the upgrade was successful, but in checking the logs, the update didn’t reenable a couple of jobs at the end. It seemed to me mostly copy jobs, but I had at least one or two backup jobs as well. Veeam Service Provider Console log results for upgrading a VBR server to v12 that indicated success in the upgrade but failed to reenable jobs afterwords. One other thing to look out for is that when you update, make sure that the client isn’t copying data to a VCC provider that isn’t yet on v12 (looking at you 11:11 Systems/Iland). In that case, copy jobs will now be broken and won’t run until the provider has updated their e

What does " Warning: Task was not processed in the current session " mean?

What does " Warning: Task was not processed in the current session " mean? I receive the warning after it tries to run a backup copy job. Any advice on what this means, why this happened, or how to solve the issue?I get the same message after running a new sync after about 10 minutes. Job will finish with warnings, with no successes.

Backup Enterprise Manager account locked out

Trying to migrate Enterprise Manager to a new Server. I stopped the Veeam services on the old server and disconnected it from the network. I installed the EM on the new server and pointed it to an old DB that was used by the old server. There was a dialogue window confirming that the DB was owned by the old EM server and that it would be transferred to the new EM server.What happened next is that the the service account was getting locked out. So I had to roll back the changes. Good thing, I did not uninstall the EM from the old server per the instruction on https://www.veeam.com/kb1889 . Curious what happened here.

Veeam EM v12 Upgrade - Antivirus Problem

Hi all,I want to share with you a problem I encountered on a customer while upgrading Veeam Enterprise Manager from v11a to v12 latest release. The environment This is a simple Veeam v11a installation, VBR + EM.The customer uses Windows Defender for Endpoint (Antivirus/EDR) on the server, the exclusions are correctly set as per KB https://www.veeam.com/kb1999. The upgrade..Ouch! After successfully updating a dozen Veeam environments to v12, I start this new upgrade with the confidence "It works!".Once I get to the end of the wizard and start the update, at some point you receive the error "Failed to create website 0x80070020".This error is reported in the KB https://www.veeam.com/kb1992, where it is actually recommended to disable the antivirus. Support case and solution I was followed by a good Veeam support engineer, but there was nothing to do..unfortunately it was not enough to disable the AV (we tried everything, registry, powershell, voodoo rituals), but it was necessary to compl

Don't post brain dumps

Folks, Please don’t post brain dumps. You are not only cheating the system but also yourselves. I have had to deal with paper cert folks and believe me they don’t last long. The exam and the piece of paper are not the point. It is the process and the knowledge that is what you want. At 1 am when sitting there clueless on a severity 1 call your brain dumps will be of no use. cheers

Can't install VeeamOne Agent

Hello, Just getting into Veeam. Trying to install VeeamOne agent on my Veeam B&R box from my standalone VeeamOne server. However, it keeps failing out. I’ve tried unloading any anti-virus, disabling firewall. I’m running it using administrator credentials. It is not domain joined so it does not have any odd security policies. I’m using ComputerName\Administrator for the installation account. I looked at errors 1639 and 1708 but it provided little help. has anyone seen this or know a workaround?=== Verbose logging started: 3/24/2023 15:57:11 Build type: SHIP UNICODE 5.00.10011.00 Calling process: C:\Windows\OneAgent\Veeam.One.Agent.Deployment.Service.exe ===MSI (c) (20:A0) [15:57:11:775]: Resetting cached policy valuesMSI (c) (20:A0) [15:57:11:775]: Machine policy value 'Debug' is 0MSI (c) (20:A0) [15:57:11:775]: ******* RunEngine: ******* Product: C:\Windows\OneAgent\OneAgent.x64.msi ******* Action: ******* CommandLine: **********MSI (c) (20:A0) [1

Pre-Veeam V12 Upgrade

Prior to upgrading to Veeam V12, ensure that, "Transform previous backup chains into rollbacks" is not enabled in your environment. If it is, the upgrade will fail as per KB4390: Feature Deprecation: "Transform previous backup chains into rollbacks" (veeam.com)I just wanted to point out a slight caveat when checking our environment. If you decide to check each job setting and disable the option, bear in mind, if you have a snapshot job with storage integration, it may still show as enabled. Normally a snapshot job looks like as follows without an option to select the backup chain option: However, running the PowerShell command:Get-VBRJob | where {$_.BackupTargetOptions.TransformIncrementsToSyntethic -eq $True}returns the following: This can be easily sorted by running:Set-VBRJobAdvancedBackupOptions -Job "Job Name" -TransformIncrementsToSyntetic $false

Backing up a remote server drive shared across a L2TP VPN.

I have installed Veeeam Backup V12 Community edition on a local Windows 10 PC. I have a 4TB external USB drive connected to this machine that I intend to use as a backup repository.The local machine uses a VPN connection to connect with a shared windows server 2019 drive located on a remote server. The connection is always on.In my reading across various forums, Veeam seems to the the product of choice to accomplish this. The tutorials I have read thus far appear to target a much higher level of backup sophistication (VMs, Hyper* and whatnot). Can anyone please advise or point me in the right direction to accomplish this somewhat trivial task?Thanks

Azure Immutablity - possible to enable it on existing container?

One of the great features we’ve gotten with V12 is object-lock with Azure S3.@Rick Vanover did a great walkthrough for MS Ignite last year with a V12 beta already.With new storage accounts and containers it works as he explained, which I could prove in a few environments already. My (and some of my customer’s) question now is: can we enable it safely and supportedly on an existing blob bucket with let’s say hundreds of TB of data already inside? First, you would have to enable “version level immutabilty” within the container: Quite easy while creating a new container like Rick has shown, but if you would want to do this afterwards, you first had to enable a policy on the container: Having this policy also makes the container differ from a freshly set-up immutable container. The latter would not have this policy.To add this policy one would also have to enable versioning for the storage account beforehand: I tried that in a testing environment and ended up being able to activate immutab
