Object Storage Setup with Ootbi

Nice! “S/N: VMware-56”, so it’s a Virtual Appliance? I understood they didn’t have one...Do I need to bug a bit more my ex-colleagues?😝

Block size in combination with Veeam Cloud Connect and Object Storage

Great comment Tyler, thanks.I can add two notes here: hyperscalers do it better: I’m not so sure, they seems to be able to sustain bigger loads indeed cause the underlying system has many more disks and nodes, but also cause they apply tons of throttling rules on the network. We played a bit at a provider with an on-prem s3 and haproxy cluster in front of it, and we noticed this clearly. When you start to apply throttling the storage has an easier life. But as I said before, at the expense of backup times; HDD only: that’s correct if it’s a capacity tier for SOBR, but for primary backups I’ve started to see many high-end solutions (name the usual suspects) with hybrid, full-flash or even NVME. Yes, as a backup target. The price justification heavily depends on which business you are running, so what sounds unjustifiable for your service, may be totally fine for another. For the topic of this thread, VCC, I agree it may be an overkill.

Block size in combination with Veeam Cloud Connect and Object Storage

It heavily depends on which object storage you are using, it’s not a common rule for everyone. Indeed, some suffer the IO load we trow at them, and increasing the block size is an easy solution. But at expense of highly increased incremental size. @HannesK did some tests and 2x is the value we also found.It makes total sense that a full backup has the same size, if you think about it the entire vm has always the same size, regardless if you cut it into 1mb pieces or 4mb pieces. But when it comes to incremental, a changed byte can mark an entire block as changed, so a larger block may have more chances to have changed bytes.Some other worked by introducing trottling, either in the storage or by placing reverse proxies in front of the storage (like haproxy or others). The idea obviously is to slow down the backup process to let the storage be able to ingest data. This choice will affect the SLA, as you’re now offloading data at a slow pace.Some providers instead went to test and select v

Fast Clone Savings: Call for community testing

I don’t want to steal the show from Timo, but if you look at the root of the repository…https://github.com/tdewin/ttozz“Additionally the output is https://github.com/tdewin/w32filefrag , so you should be able to use sortedfrag-analyze.(py|ps1) to analyze ReFS frags created with w32filefrag. sf-sample.ps1 is provided for such a setup.”

How to create direct connection from Veeam Agents to Wasabi

O365 and Cloud

I haven’t played with the self-service portal yet, but the way it appears to me is that it can only tie to one M365 tenant, such as if used as an internal VBM365 server and not for multi-tenant access as a service provider?  Someone please correct me if I’m wrong and don’t understand that portion of the product.  I still need to play with that functionality. No, the portal is totally capable of doing multi-tenancy and be used by multiple organizations, protected by the same VB365 server.For the design and functionality, indeed we are suggesting (if possible as many stated above) to move away from VCC+Explorers. Personally (and this is my very own opinion, not the company one) it has never been a design I liked, it forces customers to have a VBR installation around and then you start to have issues with console compatiblity. If there is any specific function missing from the portal, I’d suggest to submit the requests in the VB365 forums and have it added in future versions. So that at

So you think you have long retention requirements? Are they as long as Japan’s tax-related data requirements?

We already have media that can store data for centuries: PAPER 😋 Joking aside, we have seen such requirements , especially in financial and tax businesses as you all can imagine, there’s no easy answer to this. Probably, even more than keeping the software and its compatible hardware able to boot, we should look at some “open format” to write the data, so that even a different software in a century from now would be able to read it. Again, I think about human written language.For the media itself, I’ve seen usually tape as already said, and they use external media transfer services to move the data from old generations of tapes to new ones.

How to create direct connection from Veeam Agents to Wasabi

next up: Find a setting which sets the setting as default for every repository I add (prefer to add one wasabi respotiory for each customer. Perhaps not the best solution though...) What do you guys/girls do?   It looks like the secure mode is going to be the way to go.  Somewhat related, I know that for VBR installations, it’s recommended to have a separate bucket for each backup server because otherwise you introduce performance issues because you have multiple servers trying to read/write the metadata for the bucket.  In my case, I have multiple buckets under the same account.  As for using the Veeam agent, it certainly doesn’t make sense to have a bucket for each agent, so I’m curious about this secure mode as well, and also to see if this could filter back into VBR where you could then have multiple servers accessing the same bucket.  In most cases, I think I’d still want them separate because I can then easily see how much each bucket is consuming and bill back if neede

How to create direct connection from Veeam Agents to Wasabi

hi all,I’ve been summomed by Matthias to take a look at this thread, as I’m the guy writing the mentioned WP. I tested this new “Secure mode” as we call it (I’m not sure there’s an official name, but I’d say we can call it like this) and I can answer your questions. I know you are working with VCC but if you want Agents to go to Wasabi directly why not just point them there?  The new agent can do direct itself and would eliminate the costs for you. We need to split the two paths: backup traffic will be indeed direct from agents to object storage. One of the premise of Secure Mode is in fact the use of “Direct” option when mounting the objs itself. Otherwise, we fall again into the scenario of the gated access via cloud gateways (in VCC) that will become soon the bottleneck.VCC (and VSPC) are still there for the management traffic, so that all policies and commands to agents will be controlled by VSPC, like this:but here comes the need for IAM/STS: without it, each agent uses the same a
