Monitor AWS Jobs via PowerShell in Veeam Backup & Replication.

Hello, We are using Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3.0.310, integrated with Veeam Backup for AWS 8.1.0.7. Our environment is monitored using Zabbix, and we have developed PowerShell scripts for this purpose. However, we are facing difficulties retrieving information about jobs running in AWS from our Veeam Backup & Replication server. While we can successfully monitor all on-premises jobs, we are unable to list the jobs running in AWS. The integration is properly configured, and we can access information about the AWS-hosted servers, but the jobs themselves are not visible. Is it possible to retrieve this information using PowerShell? Thank you!

Veeam University - Now a One-Stop Shop!

Hey there VUG USA folks. Some new & exciting news from the Veeam Education team. They have now combined all “pillars” of Veeam learning into one consolidated site! No more multiple sites for “free” training, Pro, or Partner training/resources. I know I’ve shared with some of my VUG attendees how valuable the Veeam training videos are. I hope you all take a look at them, if you haven’t already. To read more all about it, see Federica Saba’s Veeam blog post which covers it all: https://www.veeam.com/blog/veeam-university-empowering-digital-learning.html To get to the new site, click the link below: https://www.veeam.com/support/training/veeam-university.html Best.

Veeam is more than just a data protection platform - it's empowerment.

I’ve been in the IT field for a long time now and doing well for myself. I’m pushing 40 now and it’s made me look back on things and made me more appreciative of a lot of it. Many things that seemed not too long ago were actually... long ago. As funny as it sounds, one of those things is Veeam and this wonderful community. I first put hands on keyboard with Veeam almost 10 years ago now in August of 2015. I started working for a local MSP that specialized in servicing foundations and organizations in the healthcare space, specifically for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. One of the Senior Sysadmins, Scott, began training me up on something I had never heard of before - Veeam. Although Veeam backup and recovery was a smaller part of my role it was crucial in two ways. One was seeing how a solid data protection platform like Veeam does more than just protect data. It protects people, patients, individuals. A file lost, or report deleted, a ransomware attack e

Veeam backing up volumes without a drive letter assigned

I just this month have started setting up and playing with Veeam Backup and Replication Community Edition. I have two desktops and two laptops I’m backing up with it. I’m trying to use just a single backup job for all of the machines because I understand that dedup only works for backups done as part of the same job. Am I wrong on that? Anyway, my issue is that I have configured the backup job to exclude “E:”. This is because my main PC has a DrivePool that contains backup data from my NAS and the drive pool is E:. The issue is that there are 4 drives that make up that drive pool. They are not configured with their own drive letter. But Veeam wants to back them up - which surprised me - I want Veeam to ignore them too since everything except the DrivePool software ignore them otherwise. I’ll attach a screenshot of my disk management so you can see what I’m talking about. Is this a bug in Veeam that it will back up volumes without a drive letter assigned or intended behavior? Thank you

PostGres SQL Database getting very very big and slow

Hello community, i have a customer doing NAS Backups from NetApp Shares to a hardened disk repository and then writing those NAS Backups to Tape. We are using a PostGres DB as the Configuration Database. Its running on a NVMe Device. We found out that the DB is growing continously over the last 4 month. Starting around 40GB it reached around 650 GB in size until now. Opening the VEEAM Console to access the VEEAM Management server takes very long and other processes also affected. We did some root cause analysis and found out that the hardware of the server is not overprovisioned or constrained. Are there any options to do a maintenance on the DB and/or restrict the DB in growing continously ? Or maybe doing some other tasks to adress those issues ?

VM Size Selection Blank when adding Azure external repository in backup and replication

Hello - In Veeam Backup and Replication 12.2 community edition I am trying to setup an external repository in Azure. When I get to the creation of the proxy appliance in the setup wizard, it checks my quota and the check passes. I then get to the step where I need to name my VM and select a size. When I attempt to select a size, the drop down is blank, meaning no options to select. Has anyone else run into this? Matt

Restoring from USB

Is it alright to restore multiple different computers from the same Veeam Recovery Media or is it best practice to create the recovery media after every Agent install? For example, I have two computers (Computer A and Computer B). When I install the agent for Computer A, I create the recovery media ISO. Then, when Computer B needs to be restored, is it appropriate to use the recovery media ISO that was created from Computer A? From the looks of it, everything is pulled from the VEEAM Server rather than stored in the ISO, but I wanted to double-check before I store a copy of the recovery media somewhere for emergencies. Thanks in advance for any help/advice!

How to backup open stacks environments?

Do we have any plans for OpenStacks? It is a product that has a very large place in the market and there is a lot of need. We can back up OpenStacks environments with the agent, but we cannot restore it back to OpenStacks. Do we have a solution for this?

EntraID Backup data placement

Dear folks, As we all know from VeeamON (thrill still present ;-)) Veeam has announced EntraID backup with VBR. My company is also working with CommVault and we currently discuss abount the EntraID backup data placement. What do you guys think where the backup data should be stored? Does it make sense to deploy VBR on an Azure VM and use Azure onboard tools to make the data as redundant and available as possible? At least customers should deploy this within a differnt tentant not have to backup data within the tentant that is to be backuped…? Most of my customers are using VBR onpremise so the first scenario could be to store the backups on the onpremise repositories, correct? I’m trying to think a step further - what about customers who do no longer have an onpremise environment (cloud only)? As from my experience these customers do not have a VBR installation running in Azure, usually they use Veeam for M365 and Veeam for Azure. Do we already have information about pricing in more de

Need information for split tunnel VPN

I have a Wireguard VPN connection to another computer. I am able to do split tunnel vpn using TunnlTo. I have it setup so I send only specific traffic over the vpn. I need to specify the executable name in the vpn client for it to go over the vpn instead of “off the side”. I tried to get Veaam Backup & Replication to do it’s backups of the server and replicate to the off-site server via the vpn. The only way to get it to work is to allow all traffic over the vpn and not split tunnel. That’s because I don’t know what executables are executing during the backup copy. What I need to know is, what executables are executing during the backup process and the backup copy process. There are just so many executables, I don’t know which to allow and which to ignore.

Error: Unable to process the VM: your socket license has been exceeded. Install an extended license, or migrate protected VMs to the licensed hosts.

We have a Dell Esxi host server that failed to come back online. In our contract Dell will try to make it work correctly or replace. Anyways, we have had a full chassis, except for harddrives, and new NIC cards installed. While it ran, for a few short days, my backups were failing with the message: Error: Unable to process the VM: your socket license has been exceeded. Install an extended license, or migrate protected VMs to the licensed hosts. The backups work as expected when the faulty server is off but when it comes back the errors reappear. What do I need to do to get licensing straightened out again? All worked fabulously for years until about a month ago. Thanks

Backup Issue with Linux Workstation Laptop - Need Assistance

Hey Veeam Community, I hope you're all doing well. I'm facing a backup issue with my Linux workstation laptop and could really use some assistance and insights from fellow users and experts here. Issue: My Linux laptop (running Ubuntu 20.04) is giving me trouble when I attempt to back up its data using Veeam Backup & Replication. The backup process seems to hang or fail consistently, and I'm not entirely sure what might be causing the problem. What I've Tried: I've checked the network connection to ensure there are no interruptions during the backup process.I've examined the Veeam logs, but they don't seem to provide much clarity on the root cause of the issue.I've tested the backup process on a Windows machine, and it works flawlessly, so it appears to be specific to my Linux laptop.System Details: Laptop OS: Ubuntu 20.04Veeam Backup & Replication Version: [V12]Network Connection: Stable and reliableQuestions: Has anyone else encountered a similar issue with Veeam Backup & Replication
