SureBackup - IP masquerading

Hi all,I’m looking at the following guide I was recommended on one of my previous posts (great guide btw).Does anyone know the logic behind the assignment of the masquerade IP? I can’t seem to understand where Veeam pulls this from nor find any explanation as to the logic behind it.Many thanks in advance.

How can I configure backup job retries in Veeam Backup & Replication?

I'm trying to set up backup job retries in Veeam Backup & Replication to automatically retry failed jobs a specific number of times. Could anyone guide me on how to configure this and suggest best practices for retry intervals?

Backup job set to 2 restore points

Backup job is set to 2 restore point and it has backup job (.vib) file created everyday. There is shortage of space and need to reduce backup jobs. If I choose the restore point it is picking up restore point for a month. Is there is a way to reduce the number of days of backup?

Security & Compliance Analyzer - PostgreSQL Check

INTRODUCTION As you know, the latest version of Veeam Backup & Replication, that is 12.1.2.172, was released last May 21.Among the various new features and security patches, the aspect I would like to elaborate on is this:Security & Compliance AnalyzerA new backup infrastructure check was added to ensure that the PostgreSQL instance hosting the configuration database has been configured with the recommended settings. These settings can be applied with the Set-VBRPSQLDatabaseServerLimits cmdlet.This new check just verifies that the recommended settings for PosgreSQL are actually applied to our backup server.But what does it mean in detail? INFRASTRUCTURE CHECK DETAILSWe know that since version 12 of VBR, the database that is installed by default is PostgreSQL and no longer the Microsoft SQL Express.So when installing the product, if you choose to keep the default DB and have it installed during the wizard, Veeam will install PostgreSQL on the same VBR server.During this operatio

VB365 Proxy Automation - Part 3 (AWS)

Background How the Proxy Automation works Configure MonitorBackground With the release of VB365 v8, several awesome features (NATs, Proxy Pools, PostgreSQL cache DB, etc) were added to the product that add performance benefits and high availability for VB365 Proxy deployments. These features open the door to some possible proxy automations. The main benefit that came to mind and started this project is about efficiency and minimizing costs for deployments in the cloud. This has been a multi-part project that I hope will start the ball rolling for some even greater community projects to fully take advantage of these capabilities. The focus of this “Part 3” of the project is to automate VB365 proxies in AWS EC2. If you have followed along for Part 1 or Part 2 of this project, most things will be repeated except for the parts that specifically pertain to AWS. You can review the previous posts for VMware and Azure proxy automations here:Part 1 - VMwarePart 2 - Azure How the Proxy Automatio

How to Best Prepare for the VMCE!

Hey Community -Let’s start off the Group by sharing some of the ways you use which best helps you prepare for the VMCE.I’ll start:For me, first and foremost, I follow the VMCE Exam Guide. From there, I go through the vSphere User Guide from top to bottom….yep, you read that correctly, from top to bottom...and read through only what I call the high-level sections of it for those sections I’m least familiar with.What is a “high-level” section? They are the sections which generally start with “About <topic/section>”, for example, About Backup, or How Replication Works, etc. I then go on to the Limitations and Considerations of each section. I rarely go through the actual install/implementation steps (these are what I consider “deep-level” sections), unless I’ve never done so in my environment or lab.After I do the above, I then go through and skim through sections of the Guide I am most familiar with just for review as there are generally quite a few detailed things I’ve forgotten.L

Kollect - A Cloud & Kubernetes Inventory tool

I have been building, I use the term building loosely. I noticed there was a gap in the world of cloud and cloud native when it comes to gaining an inventory of all resources and objects in a specific platform or environment. The project is called Kollect, because we are going to collect the inventory using existing configuration on the system, there is no way to input credentials to access natively in the binary. The K is because this project started out with a focus on Kubernetes… and all Kubernetes app have to start with a K. That’s it! Who remembers RVtools? RVtools is useful tool known and loved across the VMware community which can quickly provide an inventory of your vSphere environment. I took this tool as the inspiration for my hacking something together.

My experience with the VMCA 2024 certification

The new Veeam Certified Architect certification format presents sizing and architecture scenarios, and I liked it, although it is more challenging than the previous format.I passed the exam in January 2024, shortly after Veeam made the exam available.“The VMCA 2024 demonstrates the knowledge and expertise required to design, deploy, and optimize data protection architecture with Veeam Backup & Replication. Holders of the VMCA 2024 can be trusted to design large-scale/enterprise deployments and manage multiple customers in on-site, off-site, and hybrid environments. The VMCA 2024 demonstrates a high level of knowledge.” I recommend carefully studying the official training material and carrying out the exam simulation provided by Veeam. Also, carefully study the architecture, sizing, and user guide documents that Veeam makes available.✅ Official Training: https://www.veeam.com/vbr_ad_course_outline_ds.pdf✅ Student Guide: https://www.veeam.com/veeam_certified_architect_v12_exam_guid

Deploying Data Immutability with the Veeam Hardened Repository ISO

Hey all, I just finished posting the third of a three-part series on deploying the Veeam Hardened Repository ISO. I’ve been waiting a long time for the ISO to be released and have been occasionally bugged Rick about it, but this thing has been solid for me for over a week. I’ve had a server waiting for it for over a year and it was worth the wait as it was super easy to deploy aside from working around the slightly buggy GUI for Rocky Linux. I will note that Hannes specified 64GB of RAM for the VHR ISO, but my PowerEdge R550 that we ordered for the task previously has 32GB and seems to be keeping up just fine, though time will tell. Since it’s broken up into multiple parts, I’ll just share links to my blog rather than copying it into this post, though I will share a few screenshots as a teaser.Part 1Part 2Part 3Also thank you to everyone that had previously posted or had input on network bonding in Linux. It was helpful as I setup my first 802.3ad bond on a server. Let me know you

Ignore Backup with annotation

Hi, I have installed and configured kasten 7.0.13 and have volumesnapshotclasses for ceph-block and ceph-filesystem. They are working fine. I also have to storageclasses (without volumesnapshotclasses) one for smb and one for nfs to my storage. I want to exclude PVCs with something like an annotation. I know there is the label option, but the annotation one would be more handy in helm charts for example. Is there a way I cant find in the docs at the moment? Or will k10 ignore the pvcs because it hasnt volumesnapshotclasses with the k10 annotation? Thanks a lot!Best regards

Recover to AHV

I started to work on this script soon after I setup my cluster in my lab. I will say this one has been a challenge, more so than AWS or GCP. It required an API and figuring out the right payload for multiple disks inside a VM and dynamically setting this up. Big thanks to Ronn Martin and Chris Arceneaux for their help and contributions to this effort. Script location here:https://github.com/VeeamHub/veeam-orchestrator/tree/main/RecoverToAHV This script is for demo purpose and should be used as a template to build off of for production environment. The script is setup to use Nutanix Prism single cluster and has limitations based on network and storage container. Also, the VM that is being restored can only have 1 storage controller type. Obviously, you need to have a Nutanix cluster, have it setup in Veeam BNR, and have a Nutanix proxy deployed. Let’s look at the script. First line takes a variable from Orchestrator – Source VM Name – and will use this throughout as the VM to restore in

Azure blob storage

Hi all,I have recently deployed Veeam Backup & Replication and have started to copy backup sets into Azure blob storage for archive purposes. I've been keeping an eye on the Azure costs which seem to be a bit higher than first anticipated. So far in the past 7 days I have pushed around 4TB into the storage account. I see total ingress for the past 7 days as 4.12TB and total egress as 83.24GB. The egress seems high for what should be just pushing data in and forgetting about it. Does anyone have any pointers on how to fine tune the copy job and storage repository? Does that amount of egress seem normal?My repository is configured to use cool blob storage and has vPower NFS enabled.The copy jobs are configured for Immediate copy, include tlogs, GFS retention, not to read the entire restore point from source backup instead of synthesising it, no backup files health check, and auto compression level.Any assistance on tuning this is greatly appreciated!

MachineAccountQuota (Rise of the Unwanted Machines)

MachineAccountQuota (Rise of the Unwanted Machines)To everyone attending the Veeam Summit, have a great one! 😊 I'm sad I'm missing it but hope to be there for the next one. Right, back to this vulnerability.By default, Active Directory has a setting enabled that allows a standard domain user to create up to 10 computer objects in the domain. This is due to the ‘ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota’ attribute in AD. Allowing standard users to join computer objects to the domain can be exploited by attackers to escalate privileges in a domain.When a new computer object is added, it is by default added to the Domain Computers Security group, which then inherits the privileges that have been assigned to that group. This can then be used to interact with the domain, user objects, and other systems and services in the domain.This can also be used as part of another compromise, KrbRelayUp, to perform privilege escalation.

Pure & Rubrik vs. Pure & Veeam Solution Comparison

On September 26, 2024, Pure Storage and Rubrik announced a partnership “to arm global customers with a proven reference architecture to ensure uptime and a path forward in the face of growing cyber threats”. And while the press releases, blogs, data sheets and even the white paper (see Resources) have all the right Cyber Resilience key buzz words, there is nothing new, or that interesting, from a product integration and solution perspective.What was announced?“a three-layered defense strategy” which includes:Layer 1 - Rapid Recovery – recovery from Pure Storage FlashArray storage snapshots, using Pure’s recovery tools Layer 2 - Data Security – separately, from Rubrik with their Secure Vault appliance and from Pure with FlashArray SafeMode-enabled immutable storage snapshots Layer 3 - Archival Location – long-term retention on Pure Storage FlashBlade object storage How does that compare?Pure Storage and Veeam have more valuable and deeper storage snapshot integration and solutions that
