Veeam Community Recap #4

Please never stop doing these, I’ve had just over a week off focusing on other bits and not been able to check the forum, but these digests enable me to make sure I haven’t missed the hottest topics, they’re also a great way to snapshot themes of the community over time!

What would you put into a Veeam training course?

I agree with SureBackup as it’s one of my most common training elements when I’m asked to Health Check an environment as I always ask where their SureBackup is (basically, why Mr Customer are you not using SureBackup). Another delicate balance to find but could be useful is to focus on some backup vendor agnostic concepts, explaining the key importance of some decisions and explaining with examples the scenarios that each part of the 3-2-1-1-0 rule helps protect (though I understand this could age quicker than the rest of the course content). For example I explain to customers that all backups, not just backups to Tape/USB/Cloud should be encrypted. If a malicious person, insider threat or external, wanted to exfiltrate data undetected or practice compromising the network to avoid triggering alerts in production, you could spin up that backup data in an isolated environment and you’d never know they’ve done it! I believe that providing best practice advice in-line with course content w

HTML Veeam console, do we really need it?

I think a HTML console would make sense as Veeam further migrate from a Windows first approach to a Windows & Linux based platform. The main risk I see with Veeam via the web would be the overheads for Veeam, they either go full HTML5 for example and force others that prefer traditional applications via a deprecated state like how VMWare did it or end up supporting two code bases. Then there’s also the rapid pace they’re committing to by supporting the web browsers that release on a far more agile lifecycle. Enterprise Manager is bad enough if a web browser broke compatibility but losing access to backup/restore would be catastrophic.

Thank you for taking the time to write up your feedback @DerekA, really love it! Could you expand a bit further on the “I would include migrating from Current State (Backup Exec) to Veeam”, maybe provide an example or two to make sure we understood correctly? I had the in house responsibility of upgrading our Backup Infrastructure and Application.  We used Veritas Backup Exec and a Silo infrastructure with 4 Backup Exec installations to their own tape libraries.  Veeam Availability Suite was procured to replace Backup Exec.  When I started this upgrade, it was my first introduction to Veeam.  My mindset how backups in general worked was how we used Backup Exec as a Blueprint.  With priorities and needs setting the expectations,  I needed to draft my own Blue Print of the new Veeam Backup infrastructure.  What would make things easier for me would be a chapter on configuring Veeam for Backup Exec users.  In Backup Exec,  you can schedule Tape Drive Cleaning with a tape.  In Vee

Studying to pass your VMCE certification exam?

Already did my 2020 VMCE but I’ve been steering my colleagues to your content as I think it’s brilliant and it’s always nice to see the content through someone else’s eyes and interpretations, I’d really like to see a live session or sessions when the next VMCE comes out (assumingly for v11). Just please ensure it’s recorded and available for those in different time zones :)

Just please ensure it’s recorded and available for those in different time zones :) That makes perfect sense. Which time zones do you think would be the most appropriate? Maybe CDT for Americas? CET for EMEA? and perhaps SGT for APJ? In principle, I agree they are good time zones, but crucially the best attendance will be determined by what time you carry this out within those time zones. For example CET is perfect for EMEA if you carry out a morning training, if you get to late afternoon then carry out the training then people in eastern Europe may be less likely to attend.CDT then by contrast is better slightly later in the day as you have less competing time zones that are further ahea

What kind of storage for backup and restoration efficiency?

What size dataset have you got for the production, what retention? It’d be good to know what size you need for your latest backup chain as it may be worth looking at using a smaller SSD section within the same box for a latest chain or two for the immediate recovery acceleration of SSD but still able to use backup copy to a full HDD based larger and slower longer term retention storage.

Veeam Backup for Office 365 V5 Show stopping bug

Sorry to hear about the issues @MicoolPaul, thank you for taking the time to let us know. Could you post an update once you have a workaround? Will do, I wanted to avoid muddying the waters until we have a definitive answer from Veeam Support but currently Veeam Support are insisting on using certificates for authentication now. Prior to this they wanted us to re-create all our backup jobs which as a service provider would be extensively time consuming. I’ll update this as more develops.

Office 365 backup Teams vs. backup mailboxes

For my own curiosity; why do you create separate backup jobs for teams, mailboxes, etc? If you’re hosting O365 backup on-prem you may well have bandwidth restrictions that make you prioritise different RPOs for different services and this would be a tidy and simple way of controlling this. That’s been a key driver with some of my clients.

Friday Funday: Christmas is coming!

I used to manage my own internal IT team, due to the physical lift/shift work involved my team would always be wearing scruffy clothes, whilst the rest of the office was smart dress/suits. My first Christmas jumper day I decided to turn it on it’s head and dress smart whilst they all dressed down and purchased this:Every year since I’ve had to try and top it!

"Still" use tape for backup? Interesting reading about tape usage in 2020 and in future.

I think tape is great, I think the stigma it suffers is due to misuse like deduplication appliances. The issue isn’t in the technology but it’s deployment. I don’t believe tape should be used as an air gap solution (or not the primary air gap solution at least), for a single reason, it’s so slow! I was dispatched to a school trust due to a ransomware attack, I discovered due to the attack vector and the entire backup solution being domain joined the primary backup repo had been encrypted, the customer then proceeded to recover from tape but it took between 1-2 weeks for all of their data to be recovered and brought online. It was nearly a week before core services were even restored. With solutions such as Veeam Cloud Connect it makes sense to use VCC for air gap and keep tape for long term archiving purposes only. Most customers will keep their tape systems far longer than necessary and this causes them larger issues in the long run when using this as their DR response. With v11 pushi

Office 365 backup Teams vs. backup mailboxes

For my own curiosity; why do you create separate backup jobs for teams, mailboxes, etc?   As MicoolPaul writes it´s one way to control a. bandwidth repositoris with different retensions RPO I found out, when I´m getting this warning: 11-12-2020 19:04:13 :: Processing mailbox X completed with warning: Mailbox X is already processed by another job It´s when both the mailbox backup runs at the same time the Teams backup is running and  both jobs hits the same mailbox at the same time - then we are getting this alert. So the warning is correct but somewhat anoying.  It’s good you’ve elaborated these jobs are running concurrently. If this behaviour is intentional (and it sounds like it is) would be good to have a registry key to suppress this.

That is a good question @MicoolPaul - I’m actually quite a special fish. I don’t like the ‘attention’ on me - I can be in front of 1,000’s telling the good Veeam story, but don’t put the focus on me. I carry a lucky quarter at all times. I don’t like shopping online. LOL    It’s stuff like this that shows Veeam is not a business, it’s a gathering of unique people to develop something great, thanks for sharing! @Kseniya maybe one of these fun Fridays can be fun facts and trivia like this!
