VeeamON 2024 - Use Code "COMMUNITY10" for 10% Off!
Hi @Keren -I found a Forums post which states it could be something with a user.config file in your AppData folder. See this post what Egor (PM) suggests to do. Obviously, in the path he references, yours would be 12.1###. Basically, you’ll just need to change the name of the user.config file. Try that and see if it works. Just to be safe, make sure to take a snapshot of the VM before attempting the change.
Great adds there @Andanet ! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks @leduardoserrano . Looking forward to helping the Community here!
What about using “per-vm” repo vs normal repo? Are synthetic operations faster than traditional operations since Veeam uses existing restore points to create the synthetic full? Sorry @jaceg23 ...didn’t see the 2nd part of your question re: Synth vs Active Fulls - well, mostly I would say definitely yes, especially if you’re using a Block Clone filesystem like ReFS (Windows) or XFS (Linux). Creating a Synth Full is almost negligible/instantaneous because of how this storage filesystem architecture works. 1. all data is currently on the Repo storage so Veeam just uses all data “local” to the Repo, as such 2. Veeam doesn’t have to traverse the network as is needed to create the Active Full; and 3. Veeam doesn’t have to create snaps on the source VM lessening the load on the prod storage and thus doesn’t hinder production VM performance.
I'd configure per-vm for 2 reasons...1. To get the most stream usage out of your SAN, 2. because new (starting with v12) copy jobs by default use per-vm.
I used to use the latter @jaceg23 (FFwd and periodic compact, etc), but since I now use Immutable storage, the only option there is Fwd. And, I configure synthetic fulls. I actually recommend that route, if you can.
Another thing to keep in mind @jaceg23 ...if you use ReFS on Windows or XFS in Linux for your Repo, it is recommended to do Synthetic vs Active fulls as the time it takes to perform is negligible. Just FYI.
Only when you reach your configured retention settings...yes. You have to retain a full chain, due example.. 7, or you wouldn't be able to perform a restore. So, for the Fwd method, you need more Repo storage because you can have up to 2 full chains before the previous one is deleted.
Basically speaking, yes, Veeam has to keep all previous restore points in a chain to adhere to your configured retention settings.
Hi @jaceg23 -Imo the best way to see how it all works, is to watch the retention animations Veeam has in a KB. See below, and click the link there for each backup method (Fwd, FFwd, Rev). For your specific question, you would focus on the Fwd method. https://www.veeam.com/kb1799
Great list @Chris.Childerhose !!Great point about the hands-on. Probably the best learning method.
@loughraj - another way to possibly narrow down where the ‘access’ issue is, is to look at the other Win11 machines which are fine and look at the log process for those to see where Veeam is accessing at each step. Maybe something stands out that’s different between the success and failure computers?
As Chris shared, yep..you can. You can read more about Surebackup creation, etc in the Guide for assistance:https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/vlab_datastore_vm.html?ver=120https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/surebackup_hiw.html?ver=120

3 very knowledgeable Veeam evangelists, not just locally in their region, but the Community as a whole. Great video and stories. Thanks for sharing! 😊
I’m looking to update my cert this year. Looking forward to interaction in the Group!
Hi @juggu -As suggested, can you provide more details on the process you took? How is the VM backed up? How was the VM restored? Entire VM? Instant Recovery? Other info Chris asked you for (Are you using AAIP? OS of VM and HV host?)Can you share a screenshot of your error? Make sure to remove any pertinent biz info.
Hi @Noushad -I found a couple Forum posts which may help with your issue. It appears the error may be caused due to an older kernel version. See this Forum post for more info. If you use 4.1.12, you need to upgrade it. There was another post for a user with the issue ping’d support, as Chris suggested you should do (and I agree), and they offered a suggestion of adding the proper Oracle group (oinstall group), but seems that may not have worked for the user, but worth a try.If those suggestions don’t help, recommend opening a case as Chris suggested.
Thank you @miriam1989 😊
Hi @miriam1989Chris hit the nail on the head 😊 With Performance Tier in a SOBR you can utilize pretty much any regular Repo as an Immutable one & be good to go.
Ah, thanks @coolsport00 and @Chris.Childerhose. I will put getting the V12 VMCE on the back burner! Not a problem. Always here to help and assist.😁 Indeed...what Chris said 😊
I did do a class years ago… 2019… before VeeamOn in Miami… but just never did the exam. Do you think that counts? This would not count...no...because you didn't take the exam to get certified. If you did get certified and have kept up your cert since then, you'd be good. So, you'll need to redo the Course to be certified by Veeam.
HI @miriam1989 ...no problem at all. Glad it helped you 😊
@coolsport00, Thanks for the solution. I selected the wrong post to be the answer, but I cannot undo that and select the correct post. How do I change which post is the answer? @Madi.Cristil or @safiya can unmark this so you can choose the one you want. 😊
