Moving backups to archive tier

We have an onpremise Veeam server that runs the following jobs:1. Backup to local storage (weekly full, daily incrementals)2. Copy job to Linux hardened repository (immutable)3. Copy job to Azure Blob cool storage (immutable)Now i would like to have the Azure monthly backups moved to archive tier. I'm assuming i have to use SOBR for this. The following question arise:i create a second immutable repository with longer immutability, say 1 year. After moving the full backup, will it calculate ‘initial backup date + 1 year’, or ‘SOBR copy date + 1 year’? do i need a new container for this or can i just create a folder within a container? if a backup is still immutable can it be moved to the archive tier? copying backups obviously generates a large amount of traffic. Download backup from one repository, upload to another. Is there something i can do to limit the amount of traffic and costs? what's the risk here? To move data the local Veeam server needs to have modify permissions in both th

veeam backup&replication failed to connect to host

Hi everyone,recenly i’m doing some test on the veeam backup&replication community edition on my Dell R710 which is running server 2019 standard. And at the first time, i can add a hyper-v server which is running server2019 (standalone) to the backup job, but once i deleted the job, i cannot add any hyper-v again.It always shows :Failed to connect to host 10.178.3.41Access denied or timeout expired. (sometimes is invalid namespace)Check if you have local administrator privileges on computer '10.178.3.41'.Possible reasons:1. Invalid credentials.2.

Drop DB on a restored test server from SQL Always On Availability Group in production

We are trying to restore a huge DB which is part of a Always On Availability group to a test server. So the test server is up with the DB. However, the DB shows as Restoring after the restore. What is the work around to make the DB Ready? From what I’ve read, we need to drop the DB on this test server from the Availability Group. How can this be done without affecting the production DB. Our DBA is unable to drop the DB so reaching out to the community for alternative solutions.

vSphere 8.0 U2 is Released: Reminder not to Update immediately

Morning everyone, VMware vSphere 8.0 U2 is now available, with improvements to lifecycle management, AI workloads, and DevOps amongst others!https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2023/09/vsphere-8-update-2-now-available.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vsphere-8-update-2-now-available A quick reminder to all, Veeam Backup & Replication v12 only supports up to vSphere 8.0 U1 currently. Veeam can’t start their validation until the code is available so we’ll now see Veeam begin their testing process. You can check the status of vSphere platform support here: https://www.veeam.com/kb2443Veeam typically target vSphere platform support within 90 days of release, so with the betas of VBR 12.1 functionality appearing online, I’d guess we won’t see 8.0 U2 support until 12.1 ships unless that encounters massive delays. So yes, wait for Veeam to support vSphere 8.0 U2 before you upgrade, there’s no point having all this new functionality if you can’t protect any of your work

Hardening - VM Security

VM SecurityThe last decade virtualization has been rapidly adopted by almost any organization in the world and became a standard industry practice. You may deploy Veeam Backup & Replication components as either a physical or virtual server. For most organizations, virtual is the recommended deployment for Veeam Backup & Replication components as the hypervisor already provides high availability, fault tolerance and great flexibility in sizing and scaling as the environment grows. Looking at the Veeam Backup & Replication components, the only component that we advise to deploy physical are Veeam Backup Repositories, but only when you have control over the hardware. This is because you still need a physical medium to place backup data on and you do not want to store it in the environment you are protecting. There are of course cases where all components including Veeam Backup Repositories will be virtualized, think of placement in Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure or IBM Cloud. Ena

File Copy is very slow

By now i’m using “Veeam Backup & Rep” in the free community edition - for testing some things an maybe buying a commercial license in future. The problem is, that “File Copy Jobs” (not Backup Copy) are very very slow.For Example i have to Copy an ammount of single (168.000) files with about 180 GB together to a local target disk. If i use the integrated windows copy feature these Files are copied within about 4 or 5 hours. The FILE COPY Job from Veeam runs for 25 HOURS (by now) and shows a state of 32% ready. What could be the issue for this long duration? The source and target are the same. thanks in advanceG.Huber

VMCE v12 x VMCE 2021

Hello veeam community! As we know, the VMCE v12 is comming soom and with that a new exam with new topics including building backup capabilities, restoring from backup and advanced repository functionalities, etc are coming too. But at this moment my questions is about VMCE 2021.Do you know how long we can still book the exam VMCE 2021?Do you think it's still worth trying to pass VMCE 2021 or its better wait for v12 exam?

Unable to create manual backups for policies outside K10 namespace

Hi,we want our users to create K10 policies in their namespaces. However, when creating policies outside the kasten-io namespace, there is no “Run once” button in the UI and when trying to create a RunAction using kubectl, the following message appears:“Error from server (BadRequest): error when creating "runaction.yaml": subject must be in K10 namespace”I was not able to find a hint for this behavior in the docs and was wondering if there is a technical explanation for this and if this will be supported in the future.

Veeam v12 and StoreOnce replication issue

working in a client env with veeam v11 and 12….just upgraded to v12.we have issues with replication not working (started all of a sudden 3 weeks ago). Support said that it was a known issue in v11 and we needed to upgrade. Tbh I wasn’t convinced as its been working fine for some time.Anyway we upgraded to v12 but replication is still not working.You can see that the copy is seen as in-progress so Veeam is just trying to send data. You can also see on the storeonce side that Veeam files have landed/created with ZERO bytes. It just sits there for hours and you dont see any data being transmitted for some reason…..We do have a call with support but just wondered if you guys had any ideas. We’ve involved HPE and run scripts on the storeonce appliances which are able to send files between the devices (1G files, 10G files etc).

Stuck in Terminating state!

Hi Everyone, I don’t remember if this has come up here before but every once in a while when deleting namespaces your deletion just hangs in a terminating state:Where is the TerminatorYes I am removing Kasten but only because this is a test lab for other purposes. Never delete Kasten in production if you want data protection 😉So what is up? I had installed via helm so this would normally not happen but I think I was tinkering and there may have been so objects left over. We can check that by running this command:kubectl api-resources --verbs=list --namespaced -o name | xargs -n 1 kubectl get -n kasten-ioNothing foundNo objects are present which is good since we don’t want to junk lying around in the cluster.The problem when this happens is that a finalizer is present for whatever reason so you need to manually remove it. We can get the namespace manifest and check it out:kubectl get ns kasten-io -o json >kasten.jsonLet’s view the file:There it isWe need to remove this in order for

Troubleshoot Unable to Use-Hot Add with Linux proxy after Veeam v12 upgrade

Hello everyone,I would like to draw your attention to an issue detected following the Veeam upgrade to version 12 at one of my clients. This also applies to new installations.During backup and restoration operational tests, which are crucial to perform during installation/post-upgrade, the following error message appeared when restoring a VM: Unable to use Hot-Add mode.While analyzing the logs of a backup job, the proxies switched from Hot-Add to NBD mode.After analyzing the logs and isolating the issue to a single proxy (Forcing the proxy to use only Hot-Add + creating a test backup job with only this proxy), I was able to obtain a more informative message.There is a Veeam Knowledge Base article available at https://www.veeam.com/kb4460.To resolve the error, it is necessary to disable "multipath" on the Linux proxies, following the procedure outlined in the KB. After applying the fix, backups and restores successfully utilize the Hot-Add mode, resulting in improved performance.I apolo

Change Expiration date of immutable restore points (in v11 and v11a)

Another post about my favorite feature in v11: Hardened Repository. This time it is about the ability to change the expiration date of already immutable restore points. Veeam made this possible by using PowerShell. The corresponding command is: Set-VBRImmutabilityLockExpirationDate. This post is about how to use it.Select the restore point you want to change immutability expiration date. To show all restore points of a specific VM in a job you can run for example:Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup immu_job_01 -Name VM02Here backup job name is Immu_Job_01 and VM is called VM02. I will change the date for the first - the oldest - restore point in the list. To work with it I save it in $RestorePoint:$RestorePoint = (Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup immu_job_01 -Name VM02)[0]Show the current expiration date by running this command: $RestorePoint.getstorage().ImmutableTillUtc We see, current ImmutableTilldate is 1st October 2021. In my example I change the date to the end of 2030:$ExpDate = Get-Date
