Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Backup & Replication

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. Job Historical Information Table – Very similar to the previous panel, but this time with more details about job name, status, date, etc. Job Historical Information Duration – Very simil

World Backup Day Blog - My little story

My professional experience with backup procedures starts when servers were only physical and backups only with tapes, long recovery times and a recovery rate of 70-80%.If the operating system became corrupted, you were forced to rebuild a server from scratch...Then the advent of hypervisors and a chance meeting with Veeam in the VMUG community event and it was love at first job !No hard-to-understand interfaces and incomprehensible logs and the restores worked !From version 5.0 to version 12.1, years of work and successfully completed restores have passed with the many thanks received from Customers for saving them from various disasters. Of course, it is necessary to know it well in order to configure the jobs correctly for each environment and infrastructure, but the result is guaranteed.I really appreciate the effort made to guarantee the security features included from version 12 onwards, and I give a 10/10 to the 4-eyes feature in addition to the other YARA backup control and 'in

immutability flag

Hey everyone,We've encountered an issue with our immutable backup setup. We've configured our Ubuntu server to shut down after completing the backup, turning it on before initiating the backup process. As a result, the server shuts down at 1 AM every day after finishing its backup routine.However, once a week, we receive the following error message. I've been able to resolve it by deleting the file, but it keeps reappearing. Is there a way we can extend the immutability time to avoid this issue recurring? A problem occurred during setting the immutable flag: repository time shift detected, immutability flag cannot be set. Please refer to KB4482 for more detailsProcessing finished with warnings at 3/17/2024 10:33:16 PM

Quick Friday Veeam B&R Check

Hey folks, Here is a quick check for a Friday afternoon when it comes to your Veeam B&R installations. If you have installed Veeam B&R years and years ago and keep updating to the latest version of Veeam, have a look at the default Veeam generated Self-Signed certificate.This can be found under the Main Menu > Options > CertificateInspect the ‘Signature hash algorithm’ attribute and if it shows as ‘sha1’ it might be worth re-generating the certificate. If you have vulnerability scanners, it should pick this up.Even better, instead of using the Self-Signed Certificate, replace it with one signed by your Internal CA - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/tls_internal_ca.html?ver=120To re-generate the certificate, some instructions can be found here - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/self_signed_tls.html?ver=120Just bear in mind the following:IMPORTANTIf you update the TLS certificate used on the backup server, you must also update info about the

March 2024 Windows Updates - DC Crashes?

I recently learned the latest Microsoft server updates could potentially lead to domain controller crashes and restarts due to a Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process memory leak issue.The affecting patch KBs are: KB5035855 and KB5035857 Windows Server updates. From the article below, it appears only Win2016 / Win2022 Core and DE are affected, but may affect all types. For now, Microsoft is advising uninstalling the above KB patches from DCs.wusa /uninstall /kb:5035855wusa /uninstall /kb:5035857You can read more from the article below:https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/new-windows-server-updates-cause-domain-controller-crashes-reboots/

SureBackup using replicas

Hi,I am trying to create a SureBackup job using replicas rather than run from the backups (For performance reasons) but when I go to add a VM from replicas there are no objects in the Select Replica screen.the replica is stored on a standalone Hyper-V host with large DASI’ve created replicas from live VM’s and current backups and although they exist in the replicas folder, there is nothing appearing in the Select Replica screen in the SureBackup application group settings.I’m running VEEAM 12.1.1.56 Any ideas, it’s driving me nuts ThanksRhys

Kubevirt on K3S

Hi Folks,Recently Veeam Vanguard @k00laidIT aka Jim Jones asked about which Linux distribution to use for kubernetes/minikube. Turns out he is going to explore kubevirt. Now if he is looking into this you know it is serious. Feeling pangs of IT conscience I decided to take a look myself. I have known about kubevirt for a while but for some strange reason never wandered into those woods.So this week I decided it was high time to discover potentially yet another Kubernetes rabbit hole to fall blissfully into!To my surprise everything was much simpler that I was prepared for. Here is my step by step set of instructions for getting kubevirt up and running on a 3 node k3s cluster. I might also try this on a Laptop Rancher Desktop install a bit later as well.First we need to get the current stable version.export VERSION=$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubevirt-prow/release/kubevirt/kubevirt/stable.txt)echo $VERSIONNow we will deploy the operator.kubectl create -f https://github.com/

WORDL BACKUP DAY – ANOTHER STORY, SAME LESSON

This is a story that is certain to have happened in a similar way to many of you.It is a story about a topic that is unfortunately becoming more and more current and frequent for those in the sys/backup admin job: managing the response to a ransomware attack.It was a Friday morning, the business week was drawing to a conclusion, and outside a pleasant spring sun was already warming the earth.As I arrived at the office, I was immediately notified that a client whose virtual infrastructure we were managing was no longer able to access some servers.In most cases, so many reports turn out to be minor issues, sometimes all it takes is a few tiny actions and everything gets sorted out.… But this time, I don't know why, I had a bad feeling: we connect to the vCenter, it responds, fine, but as soon as we log in we see that most of the VMs are in an "inaccessible" state..what could have happened? The storage seems ok, the datastores are mounted..looking here and there we take a browse to a VM'

VMCE VMCA Study Group coming soon at a Veeam Hub near you!

Hi Everyone,Just an update. The Study group is coming soon! Don’t be tempted to buy any practice exams 😁! Again the study group won’t provide any answers, it will do much better, it will provide the means to get to the answers. Those same means and methods can then be used in real life production situations to solve problems. At the end of the day that is what we all want apart from the shinny certificate!

CONTEST: World Back Up Day Blog of the Month Special EditionBlog of the Month

As mentioned in my February 2024 Blog of the Month winner post, March marks the celebration of World Backup Day. In honor of this occasion, we're planning a dedicated and special edition of the Blog of the Month. We're inviting you to share stories about how backup saved your precious data or, conversely, instances where you wish you had known then what you know now to avoid data loss. It seems Jason also has an idea on how we can enjoy World Backup Day, so be sure to check out his post!Here's a brief personal story to kick things off: In 2009, fresh out of graduation, I embarked on a volunteer journey to India for three months – undoubtedly one of the best times of my life! During this unforgettable experience, I captured hundreds of photos, all stored on a single computer. Unfortunately, that computer was stolen, and I hadn't backed up any of my precious memories. The result? Not only did I lose the computer itself, but all those cherished moments captured in photos vanished in an in

Which Linux Distribution for Kubernetes/miniKube

Hey all, going to try to start up with a bare metal, single node kubernetes implementation with kubevirt. From what I can gather minikube is probably the easiest method to get there so plan to use that as my k8s level. One question I have is that of what is the preferred linux distro to sit underneath such things? I tend to skew towards ubuntu but curious if you all see something better out there for this kind of use case.
