The Many Forms of Modern Authentication – An Exchange Server Story

TL;DR: Don’t enable Modern Authentication if you’re planning on using Veeam Explorer functionality with Exchange Server. This works via EWS and enabling Modern Authentication on EWS WILL break the restore workflow.

Best Practice for DNS configuration for Veeam Cloud Connect

This is good to know. Since I only have one Gateway, I guess vspc.domain.com and vcc.domain.com pointing to the same server (Gateway and console are the same server) but I had planned on if we grew to needing additional gateways I'd add as needed. Hi @dloseke 🙂 when time permits you should consider splitting those out onto separate servers. A cloud gateway should reside in a DMZ with limited internal access due to it being web facing, and it would do a lot of damage if your VSPC server was compromised

Best Practice for DNS configuration for Veeam Cloud Connect

Was struggling to find the other part I wanted to add but I’ve got it: https://vccbook.io/3.Backups/3.5-cloud-gateway-pools.html When initiating a connection, a client resolves the record cc.virtualtothecore.com and it can receive any of the possible records from the DNS server thanks to round robin. As long as at least one gateway is available, the connection is successful. Once the connection is established, Cloud Connect server sends to the tenant the entire list of all the available gateways, listed with both their DNS name and IP address, and also tells the tenant to which Gateway it should connect, which is usually the one with the lowest amount of active connections. This design works perfectly over public internet, but it may lead to some connection issues in other scenarios; this can be solved thanks to Cloud Gateway Pools.—- This is why you create a round Robin DNS to give a customer for initial connection, then VCC instructs to which cloud gateway endpoint the tenant should

Best Practice for DNS configuration for Veeam Cloud Connect

@Chris.Childerhose, I thought he had mentioned using CNAMES like this: GW1 = CNAME for Primary URL (eg. vgw1.domain.com points to vcc.domain.com) GW2 = CNAME for Primary URL (eg. vgw2.domain.com points to vcc.domain.com) GW3 = CNAME for Primary URL (eg. vgw3.domain.com points to vcc.domain.com) Primary URL (vcc.domain.com) - Three separate A name records pointing to each of the external IPs for round robin. Am I remembering this correctly? This wouldn’t make sense because Veeam can’t load balance as it would give a gateway and then DNS could redirect it elsewhere. Veeam Cloud Connect documentation also states: Configurations with one DNS record for multiple IP addresses are not supported.The SP can use one public DNS name for their Veeam Cloud Connect infrastructure and provide the tenant with this DNS name instead of DNS names of cloud gateways. In this case, the SP must create DNSrecords for both public Veeam Cloud Connect DNSname and DNS names of cloud gateways. For example:

Pause Backup/Replication Job

I’d say either look at Backup IO control to see if that helps enough, otherwise you could use some scripting to create a more advanced policy for you, using Stop-VBRJob to stop your backup job, you could even use the -Gracefully parameter to define if it should gracefully stop processing or stop immediately depending on your preference

Best Practice for DNS configuration for Veeam Cloud Connect

https://vccbook.io/3.Backups/3.4-cloud_gateways.html the end bit has the CNAME part you’re referencing 🙂 Ive been out the MSP game for coming up 18 months now but IIRC it doesn’t matter what name is resolved as once it connects to VCC it’ll get all the gateways from the pool. A CNAME record just redirects to an A record anyway so what you’re saying makes sense but I’m not familiar with VSPC anymore to comment further

Pause Backup/Replication Job

@Link State provides a good workaround, the other thing to point out is that “pausing” a backup job could consist of two meanings:Stop processing new VMs but finish existing ones Stop processing current VMs until I resume.Scenario 1 could be useful at times, but Scenario 2 won’t provide all the benefits you expect as your VM snapshots will remain for the duration of the backup job (unless offloaded to storage as mentioned by Link State). The other thing I’d ask is, is it due to your snapshots that you’re having performance problems, or due to the speed at which Veeam is reading from your source datastores? If it’s this you could use leverage storage IO control https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/io_settings.html

how to backup copy job call backup job

i think When Backup Copy Job Complete I run script call Backup Job , Is a good Idea?? You certainly could, but are you just doing this to get as many backups a day? Is your retention set by days or restore points? As triggering an excessive number of backups with a restore point-based retention will cause you to delete backups very quickly. If you had 7 retention points for example and you could backup every hour, you’d only have 7 hours of history to go back through, which would be no good if you got hit by ransomware as it would likely take more than 7 hours to fully infect everything

I saw your post on R&D forums and I believe this is a valid worry for reinstalls, hopefully the installer evolves to incorporate this functionality 🙂

S3 repository overflow

Morning, they’ve only performed testing on the specific hardware in that article so how close does your specification align to this? If you’ve got worse CPU/RAM or a lack of flash storage then performance will be greatly impacted. What’s your block size and amount of data within your object storage repository?

Designing Meaningful Recovery Point Objective & Recovery Time Objective Policies

Hi @Seitjan 🙂 RPO refers to the time between production and your latest backup, but can also refer to the time between your backups. So in answer to your first question, this would be your schedule settings, the job run frequency. RPO is just an industry term to define your backup frequency as a policy. So if you wanted to ensure no more than 12 hours of data loss, at a minimum you would have a backup job that executed every 12 hours (though I would still say 6 hours as it gives you a buffer if your job failed or took longer to process than expected). So RPO=7 wouldn’t mean anything by itself, 7 what? Hours? days? if 7 days, you’d be saying run the job once a week, if 7 hours you’d be saying run the job every 7 hours.

Restore permissions for Veeam Backup for Office 365

Not an MSP anymore but can look into this. To clarify, when restoring to Exchange you’re finding that if you use Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange then you’re prompted to authenticate, but when you’re using the Restore Portal it doesn’t request this? Just making sure I understand what you want out of this 😊

Cloud Failures, Clouds on Fire, Clouds… Underwater? A Reminder on the Importance of Data Protection in the Cloud

@HangTen416 makes some good points here. Firstly the architecture differences between AWS/Azure/GCP were described to me in the following sentences:Amazon runs on AWS, Microsoft runs on Azure, GCP runs on Google.And I don’t say that as an insult to GCP, but I think it provides valuable insight to the way design decisions would be made with their products in the future. Furthermore, and this sounds ridiculous to say, you have to trust, or truly understand, your hosting/cloud provider’s architecture to get the best out of it.Looking at OVH’s 2021 fire in Strasbourg, there were two technical design decisions that I feel are worth shining a light on:Backups were stored within the same datacentre buildings, despite a contractual insinuation that they would be stored as multiple separate copies. I won’t provide too much detail here as this has already been taken to court and a ruling against OVH was made judged on the incompatibility between their delivered backup service providing local bac

Thanks for the mentions on the recap! Firstly, if anyone in interested in SaaS or Public Cloud data protection, definitely check out Cloud City 🙂 we have a lot planned for you all! And secondly, as my session is virtual, some people might not be able to get their answers within the Q&A time of the session, or maybe it’s too complex to write within the Q&A box, so at the end of my session is a QR code to that post, so anyone that comes away with questions can bring them to the post and (hopefully) get the answers or advice they need!

WAN accelerator sizing for 4 PB

@Ash19 when working between 100Mbps & 1Gbps connection speeds, you can use WAN Accelerator in high bandwidth mode, which will reduce the actual consumed bandwidth VS the effective throughput.There are some key differences in how this mode works, such as a lack of global cache. I’d suggest a quick read here: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/wan_hiw.html?ver=120 Unfortunately 4PB of source data is not possible with 500Mbps, WAN Accelerator or not. As Veeam recommend direct connections without WAN accelerator for speeds 1Gbps+, we can assume we won’t see a higher effective throughout than 1Gbps, so taking @Scott’s calculations for 500Mbps and cutting them in half for the POTENTIAL doubling of throughput, you’re looking at a year for the initial upload. Where are you sending this much data to? A private DC? A cloud object storage provider?If it’s cloud object storage such as Azure or AWS, you’d benefit from looking at Azure Databox or AWS Snowball for the initial seed,

RMAN Plugin - Read Bandwidth Throttling?

Update on this one. I tried to be clever and work around the issue, but the network traffic throttling behaviour is completely broken at this point. Backup Repositories have 3x interfaces:Production network, with a default gateway to upload to cloud Backup network, for backup jobs, preferred networks makes Veeam use this first Replication network, for backup copy jobs, preferred networks makes Veeam use this firstAll IP ranges exist within /24 carvings of the 10.0.0.0/8 IP addressing space, but I won’t share the specific subnets here.I’ve tried to deliberately rule out any possibility of Veeam making an incorrect judgement of my network by doing the following:Disabled the default ANY:Internet ruleCreated 7x “internet” rules, these are all different IP scopes to avoid private subnets, for example Rule 1’s target IP range is 1.0.0.1-9.255.255.255 and then Rule 2’s target IP range is 11.0.0.1-100.63.255.255, to prevent the 10.0.0.0/8 range being selected.Each of these internet rules has a
