Redundancy of Backup Data

Hi @jaceg23, personally I wouldn’t replicate between your Synology devices as I wouldn’t class it as an independent copy of your data. If you corrupt the source, the corruption syncs to the destination. You’ve then got to rely on your replication retention to have something recoverable which is extra overheads on the storage, and if your replications are taking place whilst metadata updates are taking place, you could have a corrupt set of files you’re trying to recover. I’d rather use the KISS approach, and create a Veeam native backup copy job. You can have your own retention for this, your backup copies won’t update until your backups are complete so you’ve always got at least one static file, and then you’ve got a repository that already exists within Veeam’s configuration to recover immediately without faffing about with restoring Synology snapshots. I’m not saying this to rubbish your idea, just to share some pain points I’ve seen over the years! 🙂

Veeam Windows backup slowing computer with NVMe/SSD

That’s fair enough you’ll naturally get higher latency when you generate IO, was that latency from a benchmark or from a backup task that time? Can you rerun a backup and show the IO for the drive and the backup target?

And latency was fine during the testing? When you do the backups, what about your other system metrics? CPU for example? Wondering if the latency is instead by wasted time trying to write to your destination and that is then actually the issue instead?

I’d try a benchmark to see if other things cause this latency when doing read/writes. Based on the health metrics it does seem unlikely to be a failing drive

At very first glance here I’d suggest investigating your drive health. My boot drive had a SMART health of 60% and saw excessively high latency on light tasks, latency of seconds like you said.

Veeam 12.1.2 update? Any information

Just wondering if there is any official information on Veeam Update 12.1.2 out yet? What might be coming with it, improvements to SOSAPI? I have heard rumors but wanted to know if I had missed any official news. Thanks So will everyone call this Veeam twelve-twelve...? Well Eleven Eleven was taken 😆

Failed to index guest file system. Failed to zip folder

Hello 🙂 My first guess if this is across multiple VMs is your anti-virus software is locking the zip file as it’s being created to scan it, so check your AV exclusions.

understanding Veeam backup proxies

Hi @crp0499 - Proxies, from a high-level, are responsible for moving the backup data to the Repository. They do the work, whereas the Veeam Server is the "brains" of it all, if you will. You do need a Proxy at each site for your Copy job for best performance. You can read more about Proxies below. Let me know if you have further questions. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/backup_proxy.html?ver=120 Just to clarify on this, you don’t use a proxy for a backup copy job, this takes place directly between backup repository components. If you were doing a replication of virtual machines then yes you should use a proxy between each site.

understanding Veeam backup proxies

Hi,Veeam components should only be part of one Veeam deployment for task management reasons. A backup proxy is used for the reading of data from a hypervisor and then passing that data to a backup repository component to then be written to disk. If you’ve got a P2P network, are there different subnets or just one stretched L2? By default your backup job will be set to automatically detect which proxies it can use, this might be suboptimal and your proxy at site a being used for reading from ESXi at site b, you can override this by defining which proxies to use for which jobs 🙂

Need help to configure a remote SQL server for Veeam

Hi, That’s correct the browser won’t find it because it’s not in the same L2 network, but if you use SSMS from another server within the same subnet as the SQL server, does it appear? does the name appear as expected? Oh ok! I learned something. Unfortunately I have only my Database Server in this Vlan I have test to connect with a native SQL user but got this message I ll try to install a new sql in the same vlan of my Veeam for test Try installing SSMS on the SQL Server itself and see if the browser discovers Veeam and then try another server in the network and see if it still appears as that will rule out any firewall/networking on the server itself, even if there are other network issues elsewhere it rules out the SQL Server endpoint being the issue.

Veeam Backup & Replication: v12 Compression Improvements

Hi @MavMikeVBR sorry can’t say I have, but dedupe appliances are always superior due to their ability to dedupe across all backup files, both between different restore points and different backups. I’ve seen over 2PB of backups on a 250TB Data Domain and only 200TB was consumed on the device. But your restores will always be slower. To that end I advocate on-prem object storage or solid state block storage as the shorter term primary backup chain, with dedupe used as a backup copy target when long on-site retention is needed but not on tape

Upgrade (v11a to v12) Problem

Hi @Kralik ! Do you have version 11.0.1.1261 P20240304 ? Yes, exactly that version Check out the KB I shared as it may help you @Kralik Thank you, I will make the clean reinstall of this Version 11a and we will see. Hi, if you’re doing a clean install then you could purge the DB and go straight to v12.1. Your issue is that the final 2024 build of v11 doesn’t yet have an upgrade path to v12.1, this will change soon but until then, those on that final path can’t move to v12. Your options are to restore a 9.5 backup and upgrade to an older v11 build then to v12, or just fresh install of v12.1 and import your backups and recreate jobs etc. I personally would just take screenshots of your existing backup jobs, do a fresh v12.1 install and recreate them after backup imports, otherwise I would build a new v12.1 server and just recreate your jobs by looking at your old server Hope this helps.

Need help to prepare for VMCE_v12 exam

Hi, the best exam prep for the VMCE is trying the different features in a lab/your environment, and reading the Veeam documentation. None of the questions are designed to trick you and are more focused on your understanding of concepts than explicit details. I believe the Veeam partner portal has some mock exams if you’re a partner. I’d also suggest trying the Veeam hands on labs 🙂

Teams chat backup option is not showing

Hi, you need to follow this KB: https://www.veeam.com/kb4340 If you’re not aware and wondering why this isn’t an “enabled by default” setting, this is because the teams chat API is “metered” so you’ll pay per message processed. At present this also only covers teams channel chats, not 1:1 private conversations, there are multiple reasons why, conversations I’ve had with multiple backup vendors all point the finger at Microsoft’s current implementation of the API. Key comments made to me were it’s “all or nothing” so you can’t just backup specific users, it’s 1x API call per message, and if you have a group chat it’s not just 1 API call per message, it’s 1 API call per message PER RECIPIENT! So sending “hello” to 10 people in a group chat means 10 API calls, as the API is charged per call, it’s expensive!

Error: Failed to call RPC function 'FclsExists': The user name or password is incorrect, Hyper-V

Hi, What server is being used as the gateway for the SMB share? Is it set to automatic or is it defined as a server? Wondering if another server is unable to access the QNAP. Does the QNAP have any logs that indicate why it isn’t connecting successfully, such as an network ACL list for who can connect from an IP Address standpoint. Can you supply some logs from the gateway server for the backup failure please
