Multiple Tape Servers Managing Single Multi-Drive Library

Anyone have a need for this:Currently customers have 2 options when connecting a Tape Server to a Tape Library1: Physical Tape Server: attached to the Library/FC2: Multiple Virtual Tape Servers: partitioning the tape library so each Tape Server (VM) will see only select drives, and slots.Either way would maximize the throughput of data transference. Currently having 1 VM as Tape Server does not maximize the libraries efficiency throughput.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110You can add multiple tape servers to the same installation of Veeam Backup & Replication. But mind that you cannot add one tape library to two different tape servers and write data to it from both tape servers.Would this work: Ability to have multiple tape servers within single VBR see and manage same multi-drive tape libraryTo optimize the use of libraries and drives, it should be supported between multiple Tape Servers within a single VBR.

Trying to create a duplicate Windows server for disaster recovery.

Recently upgraded a client to a new server, running ESXi. It has 2 windows servers and a win10 backup and replication server as VMs. The old server was also ESXi only running 1 windows server and the windows agent. When I first tried to bring the new server up starting with a bare metal restore of the original server I ran into problems because Veeam would not restore the server to a functional state because it was a standalone domain controller. There were many suggestions on how to correct this but none of them worked. Finally I got around this by setting up a new windows server on the new hardware with the old server still running on the old hardware, and made it a BDC. Then when I turned off the old server and restored it to the new hardware it synced to the existing Domain Controller and worked normally.Now I want to take backups from the same vm on the new server, and restore to the original vm on the old hardware, which will be in a different location, creating a disaster recove

Veeam Agent Backup Fails and computer freezes

Hello friends,Currently running veeam agent v6.1.2.134 on a Win 11 machine.Have a full back up running every 3 months with incremental backups about every two days. Backups run to a network share hosted on a centos box.My issue: about every 5 days the back up fails and my computer freezes. It won’t kick the monitor, keyboard or mouse back on and I end up having to restart the computer by holding down the power button. I’m pretty sure it’s Veeam because it wasn’t happening before veeam and every time this happens veeam’s backup has failed. The backups will run fine the other times. There is no rhyme or day pattern I can tell of this happening since it’s every 5 days that it happens. So the last 3 failures occured on Fri 6/7; Wed 6/12; Mon 6/17. In between those I have successful backups and the 6/19 backup last night ran fine.Any thoughts? I’m a bit stumped. Happy to share the log file.

A First Look at Veeam Backup & Replication v13: Linux-Based and Web Console Awesomeness

Extracted from the original blog at wcithipster.com on Nov 25 Written By Zane AllynAs a Veeam Vanguard and a longtime backup enthusiast with more than six years of experience working at Veeam. Today, I’m beyond excited to share an early look at Veeam Backup & Replication v13. This release introduces two major enhancements: a fully Linux-based backup server and an HTTPS-based web console. These updates are not just features; they’re milestones that reflect years of community feedback.This sneak peek is based on alpha code, so things may change before the final release. That said, there’s plenty here to get excited about. Let’s get into it.A Fully Linux-Based Backup Server: No Windows NeededOne of the most significant changes in v13 is the move to a fully Linux-based backup server. For years, Veeam relied on Windows to power its core services. With v13, that dependency is gone. Instead, you’ll deploy the server using an OVA file, making the process faster, more secure, and platform-

Veeam Windows Hardening Script - one-click hardening with CIS contents

The vision:For years, I have been deeply involved in security topics, hardening practices, and strategies to make these concepts more practical and accessible in real-world scenarios. The challenge often lies in the high barriers and effort required for implementation, which discourages many customers, IT administrators, and even managed service providers. In the realm of Disaster Recovery, I view security as one of the most critical building blocks. We live in an era where it’s no longer sufficient to simply have a backup; what truly matters is recoverability. To achieve this, it is essential to protect company backups as effectively as possible, ensuring resilience against potential threats. Veeam, in its recent versions, has introduced the Security & Compliance Analyzer, which provides an initial assessment of how an environment is set up. This tool goes beyond technical measures and examines the architecture itself, including adherence to the 3-2-1 rule, the presence of air gap

Kasten - exclude a directory in a PVC

Hello,We have an on-prem Rancher RKE2, and we have backups setup of k8s applications via Kasten.Question I have is: - Is there a way we can exclude a directory from backups? The directory is inside a PVC of the application. This directory is a cache of files in S3 bucket so it does not need backup (as per application owner).I have not had to do this yet so any guidance will be awesome.Thank you,

In VMware, a Moref ID (Managed Object Reference ID) is a unique identifier assigned to different objects or resources within the vSphere environment, like virtual machines, hosts, or data stores. It helps VMware keep track of and manage these objects.Think of it like a name tag that VMware uses to identify and reference each specific object in its system. The MoRef ID naming starts with a prefix stating the object type followed by a hyphen and a number, for example, vm-197, host-29, domain-c26. Every object has its own MoRef address: https://<VCENTER>/mob/?moid=<OBJECTID>. So why is it Important? When a virtual machine (VM) is added to a job in Veeam Backup & Repl

Linux File Restore Frustration

I hate asking newbie questions, but I’ve been through the docs more time than I care, but cannot find a simple explanation of what is actually required to perform a simple file restore.Backups are VMware based. On B&R 12.3. I can initiate the restore process, but it hangs(timesout) when I hit the “Browse” button. I do see the B&R server connecting to the linux server with SSH. And in the process, creates some files/folders in /tmp. But does not appear to put anything in /var/logSame issue whether I try and restore to the same, or original server.What are the requirements for a Linux system, to be able to do a file-level restore? What does it need to connect to, what needs to connect to it.Does it, or does it not need the Linux Agent? One of the Linux systems I tried to restore to actually has the agent. But most of our Linux systems do not.Would be nice to find a doc that laid this all out. But if there is I have not found it yet, or missed something.I get that Veeam want

Greetings, friends! I want to share with you the new Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup & Replication, no Enterprise Manager is needed, and it uses 100% VBR API.Small note: For those familiar with the data protection scene, you might recall that we’ve already got a Grafana Dashboard dedicated to the Veeam Enterprise Manager API since 2020. Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup & Replication API When you finish this article, if you follow all the steps, you should have something similar to this. It might be different according to your environment, number of days you select, protected workloads, jobs, etc.Dashboard – SummaryJob Historical Information – The very first graph. The most important one in my opinion. Grouped by 24 hours, get to know the status of your policies per day, on a range in time.

fyi: some movies to share

I know, not a really 200% match to put it under the blog section, but it is all promotional video material posted on linked-in :-) These shorts-vids were made with (Bruder-)toys and RC-conversions of them I like to make. The content however is entirely Veeam focused.And here is the catch: My son is saving for a phone. I promised him 10eur for every 1000impressions on linked in. Like share and contribute to his phone (and get me poor 🤣).Veeam Data Cloud has many options and flavors. But I stressed out in “VDC the RC-series” a few things a lot of people easily forget. Managed by another “workforce”: so basically even if you (and your credentials/tenants) are compromised, your data will remain save in our hands as it is a clear segregation of security No investments needs (first RC-series): you don’t need a second DC, or invest/dig into security… leave that part up to us and just consume No unexpected costs: in case of total failure or problems, your price is the consumption per TB. egr

Sizing Veeam proxies

Hello!A great insight into sizing Veeam proxies is to use the guide below:https://bp.veeam.com/vbr/ Or the calculator for this purpose:Veeam Calculators However, it is important to understand the basic concepts behind the calculator.These are the assumptions for sizing with examples of a hypothetical environment:O = Total data source: 50 TB J = Backup window: 8 hours A = Daily change: 2% Where:O = Source J = Window A = Change T = ThroughputConversion formulas:Convert TB to KB = (TB * 1024 * 1024) Hours to seconds = (HRs * 3600) Throughput in Cores FULL = Throughput / 100 Right!So our converted environment is: O – 52428800 MB J – 28800 SEG A – 0.02 The calculation for processing the FULL backup would be:O - 52428800 MB / J - 28800 SEG = T - 1.820 ~ T - 1.820 / 100 = 18 ~ CORES That's it! Our proxy needs 18 CPUs.And the memory?We can consider 2 GB of RAM for each 1 CPU.So that would be 36 of RAM.Our proxy needs to have 18 CPUs and 36 RAM.
