Hi Community.  I have an Azure storage account I am no longer using as a repository for VBAz policies.  I was going to delete the account until I noticed there are three containers named “veeamdeployer<random>”, and each container contains the same 3 files: veeamDeploymentdll.dll, veeamDeploymentSvc.exe, and veeamNetworkRedirector.exe.  Does anyone know if these containers and files are needed now that I’m well beyond deployment into Azure?  Thank you.

Hi, has anyone configured the Oracle plugin/RMAN file, so that one copy is made locally and then it is sent to the Veeam repository using the plugin? Is this possible or if I want to have a copy in two locations (local and Veeam) do I have to use, for example, the Linux Agent and copy the folder with the copy made by RMAN?

Hi,I have upgraded Veeam backup and Replication from V12.0 to V12.2.When I logon to console it ask me to upgrade Veeam VSS Hardware snapshot provider.If I try to upgreade it give me this error:Product: Veeam VSS Hardware Provider -- Minimum supported OS version for Veeam VSS Hardware Provider is Microsoft Server 2012 (64-bit only). How can I resolve this issue? thanksFabio

Moin,Ich würde gerne aus meinem Windows Fileserver Cluster einige Verzeichnisse von einem Volume auf ein anderes Volume zurücksichern. Ich kann aber das (neue) Volume auf dem Fileserver nicht auswählen. Die einzige Auswahl ist ein lokales Verzeichnis auf dem Backup Server.Vielleicht hat jemand einen Tipp für mich?!GrußDirk

Good day everyone, Did some checks, seem as if for my HyperV Backups, reverse incremental is the only option recommended to save space. My management team dont plan to increase/purchase additional space anytime soon.I am seeing A LOT of VBK, VBM and VIB files,  i tell you, just incrementally taking up space. Over the weekend one fullbackup windows server agent job had like 4 vbk files (at various states/dates) with multiple vib backed over time (based on schedule not stipulated by me, but management). The local repo RAN out of space, 0 bytes free. This repo is like 7 TB, small i guess.Which is the best method you would recommend to save save space for both Hyper V and Windows Agent backups? 

Hi Community -Yes..I ask questions too! 😉 I recently noticed a subset of my Backup Jobs performance going from hundreds of MB/s to just 5-10MB/s since last Fri. I updated my Veeam environment on Sun and initially thought it happened after that (I noticed yesterday a few jobs took 4-14hrs to run!), but after further investigation I found the perf drop started 1st thing Fri morning. I have 2 other subsets of Jobs which run fine. Each of the 3 “sets” of Jobs use different Proxies and Repositories. So this whole subset which use a certain physical Linux Proxy and physical Linux Repo has this performance issue. Another subset which uses a different set of physical Proxy and Repo boxes are fine. And the last subset of Jobs which use hotadd are fine. So I’ve obviously narrowed down the issue is either the physical Proxy or Repo on this subset. The Job stats went from bottleneck of Source in the 90% range to Target in the high 90% range. I’ve checked my Proxy frontward and backward. All confi

We plan to do daily backups to a tape (which can be added but not deleted) for 7 days. I am confused on the following options in Veeam. Which one to use . I have  gone through the user guide, but need a simple advise on the usage scenarios. Please adviseWORM Tape protection Retention period

HelloA customer configured his Wasabi bucket with immuability set on Wasabi side. I know is not the recommendation in term of configuration normaly I set versionning and objectlock on the bucket only and the immuability is set in the repository Veeam.The problem is the consumption continues to grow on the bucket. In Veeam the number of restore points are correct but I have a lot of error in the SOBR task like: Not good!A lifecycle policies has been set, but I never used this kind of rule so I m not sure of the result especialy with Veeam. In Veeam in the repository we have this warning: The rules is in place but…. the delete is not working Have you already handle this kind of configuration ?

 I’m noticing that memory usage spikes to 95% every 15 minutes before dropping back down. Upon reviewing the history, it seems that the Configuration Database Resynchronize is performing a scan during these spikes.Is there a specific reason why the database synchronization needs to happen every 15 minutes, even in the absence of active backups? Is there a way to reduce the frequency of this synchronization?   

We want to switch to Veeam from Arcserve to see if it is better for DR scenario.  Arcserve is good product and does everything what we needed until we switched to SDWAN solution. We used to have primary backup console at production site and remote replication server at DR site. When switched to SDWAN primary server can not replicate backup to remote server (even though nothing blocked). So we have to moved replication server to the production site leaving backup repository at DR site. As a alternate solution, I copy replication server’s C: drive to DR site. If we have replication server at DR site, I can create virtual standby of VM to DR site every night. So in case of disaster this will reduce restore time. We also want to test DR solution every six month.I want to know does Veeam provide similar or better functionality in term of restore VM on DR site without relying on production VBR server?Thanks  

Hi, I am trying to back up some linux VMs, the VMs are running on Hyper-V 2016. The backup job starts fine, but it freezes at 63% and fails with the error message below.   17/05/2023 10:00:39 :: Processing SRV-SFTP-02 Error: Shared memory connection has been forcibly closed by peer.Failed to upload disk. Skipped arguments: [shadowSpec>];Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}.

Hi,  We’ve just upgraded our Veeam Backup and Replication server to v12.1.0.213.  All went very smoothly.  I also upgraded the Backup and Replication Console, which sits on another server, to the same version. We usually use this for access to Veeam.  Again, the upgrade went well with nothing untoward being apparent.  However, now my Veeam console will not log in to the Veeam Server. I get a message saying “Failed to connect VeeamBackup & Replication server: The logon attempt failed.”On investigation, I found that this occurred when I was using the server name (as the field was auto-populated with this info from before the upgrade).  However, if I use the IP of the Veeam server, the console connects as expected.  I tested this using the full FQDN of the Veeam server, but still did not connect - it only seems to connect using the IP. Has anyone got any suggestions of how I can connect using server name again?Thanks. 

Hi all,With release 3.7.0, Ceph-CSI has finally introduced shallow read-only CephFS snapshots which are pretty much zero-cost compared to the "old" snapshot approach which required a full copy of all data on the values in order to mount the snapshot for reading. https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/devel/docs/design/proposals/cephfs-snapshot-shallow-ro-vol.mdCephFS backups onto S3 with Kasten are almost impossible for me currently as the volume generation from the snapshot takes much longer than the configured timeout limits for even a medium amount of data (50GB) and uses a lot of resources.I would except shallow read-only snapshots to solve this, but it seems that Kasten still uses the old way. From what I gathered from the documentation, as long as the snapshot volume is mounted read-only, ceph-csi should use shallow snapshots.Is my configuration incorrect or has Kasten not yet implemented this? Thank you very much,Pascal

Cybersecurity is a constant battle, and backups are a prime target. That's why I'm exploring how to integrate Palo Alto's Cortex solution with Veeam to further strengthen.Can you help me with these questions?What kind of integration exists between Cortex and Veeam? Is it a native integration or does it require additional components? What layers of protection does Cortex offer to my Veeam backups? Does it detect threats in real-time, analyze suspicious behavior, prevent ransomware attacks? How does backup scanning work with Cortex? Is it automatic? Can I customize scanning policies? What kind of threats does it detect? Can Cortex protect my backups both on-premise and in the cloud? Does the integration work with different cloud providers? What impact does Cortex have on the performance of my Veeam backups and restores? Should I consider additional resources?

Hello Team,I have a question about snsapshots for ESXi and Proxmox.  I have taken some snapshots for some virtual machines.  The veeam backup can restore these snapshots?  As long as I remember, I got error with snapshots during restoring.  I deleted all of snapshots for ESXi virtual machines.Please let me know if I should not be included snapshots during taiking backup. Regards,

Hi everyone who can help me to adviseI tried to connect my Veeam server, but it could not start; it errors the following message.No connection could be made be because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1. Make sure the backup server you are connecting with is 12.2 version

I have found pervious items saying that (with Veeam) I should be able to backup a centos machine from vmware, and do an ‘instant recovery’ to hyper V.   I have tried a few times, and i must be missing something.First….Veeam 12 Backup and Replication Community EditionWith my testing, I have backed up a couple of Windows SQL machines and Centos machines (not many due to Community Edition)So as part of my last test, I am trying To backup from esxi and restore to Hyper-v.    The centos version is 7, and has 2 hard drives.Backs up just fine….I try teh instant restore to Hyper-v…..   at first it works great.  With the counsol on hyper v, I can log into the machine, and all looks good…...but when the restore finishes, i get either garbage on teh display, or it boots into emergency mode and I can’ do anything other than power cycle it.    Any idea?

Hello everyone, First of all, I would like to ask my community because I am not fully familiar with Yara rules. When scanning for Malware Detection with Yara rules, can you see which files have Malware in which locations with Yara Rules? When I do a direct Malware scan, if there is malware, it shows the machine under the malware tab but does not give details. What can I do for more details here Hello everyone,

Hi Guys, here is a good one.We have one job, protecting VMs in 2 different VMWare Virtual Centres. Each VC has its own proxies.VC1 is Netapp NFS datastores and we use Auto selection of transport mode (Direct Storage)VC2 is Dell HCI with iscsi datastores so we can only use Hot Add.The issue is that Veeam doesn’t appear intelligent enough to pick the right proxy for the VM. Its choosing an HCI proxy to protect a 3 tier VM and hence fails to NBD mode.How does the Veeam Proxy selection work ? Surely it can work out the basics and choose a Proxy in the same VC/host as the target VM, and on the same or similar network and not a completely different one.The issue is that if it can’t, we will need to split VMs into different jobs which is far from ideal.ThanksPhil

Hi AllI am having difficulty doing a full VM restore.  I get the below error.  I do have a veeam ticket open but no results so far.  I think this is a connection issue.  The address of 192.168.12.211 is my vCentre server.Im using Veeam essentials 12 and vCentre 8.0I can restore individual files, but not the entire VM.Any ideas?  Im really stuck.Thanks28/08/2024 10:57:10 Error    Restore job failed Error: Cannot get service content.                             Soap fault.

una delle limitazioni che c’è per i Linux Hardened repository è quella per la quale l'hardened repo deve essere collegato a un solo server Veeam.Stamattina sotto la doccia ho pensato a un workaround per questo: la mia idea è:Utilizzare un hardware come ad esempio l'HPE Apollo Installare un hypervisor come ESXi (controllare le matrici di compatibilità!) Se desiderato, mettere un vCenter (io lo metterei) Creare N macchine virtuali, ciascuna con un'opportuna quota disco, che diventeranno dei Linux hardened repo, tante quante sono i server Veeam che dovranno usufruirne Come da best practices, le interfacce fisiche e i virtual switch etc etc saranno separate fra uplink delle VM e Management dell'ESXi/vCenter Le interfacce fisiche di Management e quella della ILO o iDRAC saranno connesse a piccolo switch dedicato e isolato dal resto della rete Per la gestione si potrà collegare un NUC/miniPC completamente dedicato, isolato dalla rete e connesso solo al piccolo switch (in alternativa ci si po
