Asynchronous request operation failed with synology SMB backup target

I have been having issues with the local file server/storage which is a Synology device running their latest up to date OS. I recently enabled SMB multichannel and Asyncronous read on the Synology. Unfortunately, my backups have started failing across multiple devices: 4/1/2024 12:32:10 PM :: Error: The network is busy. Asynchronous request operation has failed. [readsize = 4202496] [offset = 8585379840] Failed to restore file from local backup. VFS link: [summary.xml]. Target file: [MemFs://frontend::CDataTransferCommandSet::RestoreText_{04776693-5fd2-4b58-8adb-2a31e1e3d68e}]. CHMOD mask: [255]. Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.RestoreText} While I understand I can disable the feature and NOT have SMB multichannel on, it’s been great and beneficial. I’d much prefer I was able to support and take advantage here. Is this something I can address in some way? This is using the Veeam agent.

Question Migrate Specific Backups From Microsoft Azure Blob to Wasabi

Hey guys, I am facing the following problem: a client wishes to change services for copying their backup data. They currently use Azure Blob. They are considering several other services including Wasabi. They would like to recover their annual archives if possible. I know that through Veeam we can use the Move function to move backups, but we have more than 10 TB of data and I'm afraid it will take an enormous amount of time without guaranteeing data integrity. Currently, they don't have immutability enabled on their Azure bucket and wish to activate it on their next bucket. Is it possible to copy only archives without copying everything?

Comparing Motorcycle Safety to Data Protection Preparedness

The weather in Ontario has just started to consistently stay above freezing temperatures, even some days spiking up to 18 degrees (64F for my American counterparts). This has me thinking about one thing only; getting back on my motorcycle as soon as possible and enjoying the open road. However, as a new rider as of last year, I have prioritized safety and learning from others experiences. I do this by watching a Youtube Channel called "DanDanTheFireman". On this channel, Dan promotes motorcycle safety by reviewing footage of motorcycle incidents and providing after-action analysis of what went wrong, and would go have been done better. One of the methods/concepts that Dan teaches is called "MTC (Motorcycle Training Concepts) Awareness Stages". These 5 stages refer to the frame of mind a rider may be in at any given point in their ride. Later in this post I will look at these stages from a data protection mindset White Stage (Unaware) – The rider is completely unaware of their surroundi

Noted Malware file extension not found

I am trying to clean up my Veeam Backup environment. Since they launched the Malware detection many of my backup sets are marked as containing files that Veeam thinks are malware. Most file extensions are not and some are files that have been created from our internal Applications Development team. I am either deleting non-relevant files or adding the extension to the Trusted Objects list. One extension that Veeam marked as Malware is *.kill . It found 2 files on our file server with this extension. Confusingly, I have not been able to find these files when I search the file server. Can anyone point me to an application or process that could locate these files?

Stuck Copy Job in Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365

I have a backup copy job for OneDrive that has been running for over 60 hrs. and I am attempting to stop the job. I stopped it in the GUI however the job still shows running with a status of “Queued” and the details show “Operation pending”. The job status has not changed for 30-60 minutes. I have also attempted to stop the copy job with the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Powershell Toolkit but I am running into syntax errors.

Veeam Recovery Orchestrator and Linux Re-IP - Updated

Introduction How does it work? Prerequisites Configuration Conclusion Introduction In this blog post, tfewins introduces a great Linux re-IP script to use with your Veeam Recovery Orchestrator (VRO) environments. Since iteration is a good way to improve things, I’ve taken a shot at it and updated the script with a new feature. This feature uses Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) re-IP functionality for replication jobs and CDP policies to keep re-IP network information. It transforms VBR into the IP Address Management (IPAM) for VRO scripts. How does it work? We need two scripts configured as custom steps in VRO. The first script (GetReIpRules.ps1) is new. It takes as input the currently processed VM name and connects to VBR to search for the re-IP rule. It actually searches for a replication job or CDP policy to which the processed VM is associated with. Once it finds it, it looks for the re-IP rule and exports the content to a JSON file. Script logic The second script (ReIpLinux.ps1),

Veeam bootable media cannot connect to backup server

Does the Veeam Media Creation tool depend on the host OS when creating the bootable ISO or does the Veeam Media Creation tool contain everything it needs? None of the ISO’s that are created on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2 PC’s can connect to the Veeam backup server to perform a Bare Metal Recovery but they can ping the server’s name and IP when using Tools → Command Prompt . I posted detailed info, with the errors, here: https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-agent-for-windows-f33/recovery-media-does-not-work-v6-3-t97990.html I’m wondering if the IoT edition of Windows (or maybe version 24H2 in general) doesn’t come with something, that other Windows editions/versions do come with, that’s required during the media creation process. Has anyone else ran into this issue or know how to troubleshoot to find out specifically why the connection to the B&R server is not being made?

Veeam Backup Validator issues, always get "The handle is invalid"

Hello, I am currently in a battle with VBV - Veeam Backup Validator As has been my experience, the health check of an agent backup job is done by the machine running agent.That, for some reason, the VBR itself cannot perform this function; even though the agent is managed by the VBR and the VBR has full access to the backup repositories. As I run my veeam over tailscale, when my laptop is outside the home LAN, the health check takes many time longer than the backup job itself. So I am try to come up with a workaround. using VBV, to offload the health check to a machine inside the LAN. So far, very frustrating, I cannot seem to use /backup flag on a backup job that does not contain a VM.I did tried to set /vmname to the name of machine running agent, but never worked.Is that correct? "C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\Veeam.Backup.Validator.exe" /backup:abp_theen10_falconerPolicy selected, provide one vmname you want to check. So far, the workaround seems to be hardco

Steps to resolve "Repository time shift detected: Immutability flag cannot be set"

This warning occurs when a time shift is detected in the Hardened Repository regardless of the deployment type used. In this article, the focus is on “VHR ISO”. This is a safeguard against immutability manipulation that can also be triggered by intentional time changes etc. But in my case, it was as a result of extended shutdown. As you can see below, the backup job completed with warning(s). Did a little troubleshooting and found the root cause. Please, see the error message for more information ‘A problem occurred during setting the immutable flag: repository time shift detected, immutability flag cannot be set. Please refer to KB4482 for more details.” If you are using the Veeam Hardened Repository ISO, this solution is very easy to implement. All you need to do is connect to the VHR and in the in the Configurator Main Menu, use the Reset time lock option as shown below. Now that the Timeshift reset is successful, please rerun the backup job again. As you can see, it completed witho

Sudden COM Class Failures Overnight.

Hello, As of this morning one of my Veeam consoles is having jobs with Guest Processing enabled fail. Veeam Version 12.3.1.1139 Failed Connecting to guest OS via RPC Error: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {Removed} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)). Steps I’ve tried: Rebooted server with Veeam Console installed. Rebooted source VM whose replication & backup jobs have guest processing enabled. Confirmed that the credentials in use are still accurate by signing directly into the VM using them. Verified neither Veeam console nor VM being backed up had Windows updates installed last night or this morning. Tested guest processing using a different domain admin account to rule out profile corruption. Ping from Veeam device to VM works with no dropped packets. Verified it was possible to browse from the Veeam console server to the VMs Admin$ share with the original domain admin

Veeam vCentre Migration Utilities

I thought I’d highlight a new tool that’s been developed by Veeam to help with vCentre migrations. It’s part of a toolset that I hadn’t come across before, so thought it worth sharing. One of the US VUG’s have also been chatting about it - I’m hoping Fabian will expand the utility to allow us to reset the Veeam MoRef ID for a server in the current vCentre. This can get changed when doing operations like restores and clones. A manual workaround has been available for some time, but it would be great to see it as part of the official tool set. https://www.myitblog.co.uk/veeam/change-vm-moref-id-in-veeam-br-database/ Rob.

Saving Drafts?

Hey Folks, Perhaps this is a feature request or maybe people have their own way of doing this. It sometimes happens that I am doing a post and get distracted or have to leave it. Then for whatever reason I lose the post (dumb laptop shutdown but not only). So first of all to the Community Managers, is there any chance we can get a save draft functionality here? If not what do other people here do? Or do you simply sit down right the post and click create? Copying and pasting from word does not work well and I am assuming creating in .md format to paste in would be best. In that case what markdown editor do you use?
