@Mildur the GA installation worked now fine without any issues...
I was using the object storage integration since it first appeared (4 years ao) and we were using azure blob storage back then. Half a year later I saw wasabi and realized that the pricing was unbeatable. So we switched to wasabi, but they became victim of their own success in that phase, which has led to some performance issues - but they were able to fix it and within the last 3 years it has been a very stable, reliable, fast and cheap object storage. I can recommand it to everyone. Don’t waste your money, use wasabi.
It’s a bit off-topic but I wouldn’t recommend using iSCSI via QNAP. Why? Because I did it some years ago (for a vbo backup) and the result was that due to a failure, I’ve lost the whole volume… Also, some years ago there was zero data left when someone has removed one of two disks of a RAID-1, how could this happen if you have RAID-1? Since then I do have zero trust into those devices and hence my advice. Good luck!
I guess when you do a fresh installation, pg will be used while during an upgrade, mssql is still in use - that’s the default situation on the UI, so I guess it’s exactly the same on the unattended installation?
Had no issues in my testlab (clone of production-vm), except at the start of the upgrade-process in the wizard - I received some very weird errors about invalid handles. Never seen that before… If that is of interest, in which log would I find that message again?
exactly, Michael, your last words are the crucial ones: you just can’t have such a quality for sensible data.
Exception from server: Bad Data.Failed to call CryptDecrypt Had such things in the past and it looks like corrupt data… Also, I’ve seen these issues in combination with QNAPs. Frankly speaking, I would never ever buy such things again for the backups, they are just not resilient enough for those purposes. Also, if I’m not mistaken, they have implemented RAID on a software level which seems to be the cause why those silent data corruption happens here and then. Has anybody seen corrupted data on a hardware RAID? I haven’t and so for me it’s clear: Don’t use NAS devices any longer (which is btw recommended by Anton Gostev). I know this doesn’t help in the current situation, but probabyl in the future ;)
Yeah, thanks guys, I know how the chain works… In the mentioned case it was:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and number 8 got deleted, so no points after the deleted one. I would have expected veeam to continue the chain as there’s no reason why it couldn’t continue that chain...
I’d probably look into SQL replication if that’s the need. No, that wasn’t the intention. The idea was to do a full restore of the server plus a database recovery to the latest point or a certain point after the last backup of the vm. And that all combined in one restore-process so that you don’t have to first restore the vm (and make sure that nobody else connects to it meanwhile) and then do the database restore…
Thanks Rick! But do these new options help rolling the database forward before it goes online? I’m just thinking from a bullet-proof point of view...
@Rick Vanover: We talked about this case a while ago and you wannted to have a look at it. Do you have any news for me meanwhile? Thanks!
okay, thanks for your comments! Does anybody know if the PM’s take a look at this conversations regarding the feature requests? Or would I have to post that on the forums? Thanks!
True, if possible I’d take down the application for the recovery process and return access once the database is ready for use. Yes, but only possible if you have control over the network and the application. In our case, the application is hosted somewhere else and so I’d have to disconnect the network… That’s why I thought there should be a better way...
Yeah but if somebody uses the database between the IR and the database restore, you have (unknown) data loss...
