Fun Friday: What’s the longest time you’ve seen a snapshot/checkpoint in-use for?

Not about longest snapshot but fun enough to share: One time at Veeam Support I got a problem with VBR failing to backup one VM because the VM reached the limit of snapshots. 30 snapshots in this VM. :) Would’ve loved to hear their justification for so many snapshots!

Query Veeam Vulnerabilities

Got an update here on this everyone.  I can confirm this is an initiative underway as we speak. We'll share it here and other vehicles when the mechanism is in place.  This would be a great secret to share in the weekly recap when it is live @vNote42 and others - as we’ll beat Anton to the news that comes in the Sunday digest. Friday for the win! Thanks for the update Rick! Very brave going against the WORD from Gostev!

Physical to Virtual

Yes, it‘s possible and supported. You can try Instant VM Recovery with the Agent Backup: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/performing_instant_recovery_vm.html?ver=110   Windows works most of the time. Never had any issue.  Linux should work too, but because this os is very complicated in terms of kernel and other modification, a P2V scenario needs more than only converting the vm. You should analyze the error message and try to find a solution from there. Could be that another kernel or driver is needed.    https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agentforlinux/userguide/integration_instant_restore_vsphere.html?ver=50   This is definitely the best solution. You’ll need to install VMware Tools afterwards though!

VCC Restore process from archive storage is concerning

Yes, that‘s the way, veeam implemented it: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/cloud/cc_capacity_tier_download.html?ver=110   With the powershell command, only files from the active chain will be downloaded. That‘s much faster to get back the files for the tenant in his cloud repo: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/powershell/start-vbrdownloadtenantbackup.html?ver=110 But if you need older restore Points, everything needs to be downloaded first by the service provider. Veeam doesn‘t have a feature, to choose which vm needs to be downloaded and which restore point. That‘s nothing your or another service provider can do better here. Some service provider might to use an on premise object storage in their datacenter. That help to get lower download times, to get the data back. But not with a cloud service like wasabi. Downloading from Wasabi could get really time intensive, because it‘s s cloud service. The service provider needs to download all data from the internet. Wasabi

VBO365 - Disable Basic Auth in M365 per Oct. 1, 2022

This will be an interesting situation to watch, Microsoft have looked at charging for certain API accesses  historically (and backed down every time). Part of me worries that once we lose alternatives such as basic access, we are giving Microsoft more leverage to take a “like it or lump it” approach and start charging for certain Graph APIs or above certain usage rates. (Understandably, they are a .com after all). It tooks ages to get the Microsoft Teams Graph APIs but hopefully we’ll see the shortfalls addressed in v6 and subsequent updates as Veeam work with Microsoft to reduce the feature disparity between Basic & Modern auth.It’s 2021 and I have to suggest to customers to use Basic Auth as the “holy grail” of Modern Auth is too limited to be a replacement for some.

Thanks @Mildur seems likely based on historical updates, as it’s early adopter I’m not 100% it will be, but will update this post in either case

Would like to give a special thank you to Detective @Mildur for finding this little piece of information:https://forums.veeam.com/post429806.html#p429806 So the product updates will be in their usual destinations, for easy access I’m going to include the links to the latest version threads on my original post!

I’ve added all the links possible, now remember this doesn’t mean there WILL be an update this week for them. Some are highly likely such as GCP due to the upcoming B&R and GCP integration but others such as Backup for O365 got an update the other day and so it’s extremely unlikely they’ll get another in rapid succession.

VEEAM SureBackup and VXRAIL

Hi, what error do you get? And what is the physical server that’s protecting the environment? Does it have Windows Storage Server edition installed? I’ve seen this repeatedly get installed with the NFS service by default, which messes up instant recoveries and SureBackups.

Thanks @Mildur & @regnor 🙂 I’ve added the release notes next to Veeam B&R! Note everyone: The list of all fixes is still being collated so if you’ve got a hot fix you can’t yet guarantee it’s been included in v11a, odds are it is but that depends how recently the bug was discovered and fixed. If the bug fix is critical to your environment it’s worth checking with Veeam Support that it was included!

VEEAM SureBackup and VXRAIL

Morning @HansWalter  So the issue reported is VMware can’t connect to the NFS share. Validate the following: There are no firewalls between ESXi and your Veeam ServerIf Windows Firewall is enabled on the Veeam server, you’ve enabled firewall rules to allow connectivity from the ESXi servers on the NFS port.Run the following command from command prompt or PowerShell before starting SureBackupnetstat -abno > output.txtThen start SureBackup and once it’s initialised and waiting for connectivity from ESXi run the command again but change the name of the output file. Once you’ve got them both, compare the two outputs, you should see the NFS port on the second output but not the first. If you don’t see any change then something else is already bound on the same port that NFS wants to mount on, hence the connectivity won’t work. The command I’ve given you should also output the executables bound to the ports, search for “Veeamnfssvc.exe” I believe it’s called. If Microsoft’s NFS server rol

Architecture Document

@haslund has asked some great questions already. For diagrams you could use Excalidraw or draw.io to mock up their expected deployment. The below pictures come from the Veeam Certified Architect’s Exam Spec/Guide PDF directly from Veeam: I find this a great reference point for project workflows and ensure my documentation highlights these criteria.

Unique Features

Hi @Manish.Bhandari, Speaking honestly, you’ll inevitably get a more Veeam sided opinion here because we’re all users of Veeam and love the products, I’d suggest somewhere more neutral such as Spiceworks or reddit to get a wider set of opinions that include why people might prefer commvault. I personally have ZERO workflows whereby I would need a feature in commvault that doesn’t exist within Veeam, that’s not to say they don’t exist, but I haven’t discovered one. I’ve also only had one customer ever leave Veeam to go to commvault and that’s because they signed up to a managed services provider that required the use of commvault. To give this some shape, what features do you require of your backup software and what workloads are you trying to protect? Veeam v11 can protect Azure, AWS, GCP, Mac, AIX, Solaris, Windows, VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, Office 365 and is getting support for Red Hat and Kubernetes (via Kasten) It supports migrations of workloads between these solutions too such as

[Fun-fact] (Floppy) disk celebrates its 50th birthday!

This is awesome! It’s scary how quickly technology that was revolutionary gets leap frogged and how other technologies continue to grow. LTO and HDD are old tech, but continue to evolve and prove themselves. When SSD was first released it was considered the demise of disk based storage, but just this week we see Gostev sharing more stories of how fragile they are! We may no longer use floppies during a day to day but the durability of them was fantastic!

We may no longer use floppies during a day to day but the durability of them was fantastic! Correct. I have still a floppy drive in a old computer and most 3,5” disks are still readable or mostly readable. So, I could rescue some of my wifes files she has written 20 years ago as she needed some old texts… Only one file was damaged. Good ratio…. Fun fact, my dad’s been in his job so long when he started looking for another job recently we had to find his CV on a floppy! 😆 That’s awesome you still have a drive, I had to search through my old tech bins for one!

Was certainly a nice trip into the past! Great! although i must say that the last disks i used were far less reliable! not in comparison to the good old Monkey Island disks  I didn’t have to work with 5.25” disks too much, but I did have one scenario where I needed them. Lemmings on Windows 3.1!

VeeamON Update: SHOES ARE BACK!

Okay I’m registered! Candidate 1:These have been my dog walking shoes since 2014! The sole has been almost worn through on both sides 😆 they’ve lived through so many winters the dirt doesn’t come off anymore in the washing machine and I’m scared to put them in anymore in case they don’t come out! The colour has faded and the shape has warped! I need a better day to day pair to demote an old set to dog walking and retire these to the recycling centre! Help me be “green” for the planet! Candidate 2: No shape, colour fading and the number of growing holes, soon to be no shoe at all, I need Veeam to protect my feet! Slightly younger at SIX years old, I’m not sure shoes were meant to live this long as daily drivers… I’ve come to realise how bad my shoe collection is these days, send help! Preferably in the form of Veeam trainers!
