a)I have a VBR 12 running on Postgre DBb)I am setting up another VBR and this time I dont want to use the default Postgre DB.Hence I an selecting Miceosoft SQL Server but its asking me to create the SQL Instance first. Am I supposed to install SQL Full Blown Instance or SQL Express Instance?  

Hello, Thanks, I cannot install latest VBRso this is what happened.For years, at VBR 11 installed and worked great. thanks veeam! Now, tried to update to latest 12.1. i downloaded .iso and checked md5 hash. That update failed, complained could not uninstall veeam for linux. I tried again to update and this time, instead of being asked to upgrade, i was only given option to Install. I tried to install, but VBR complains about seen belowSo I tried to manually remove VBR using:https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/how-to-uninstall-v12-community-edition-completely-t89675.htmlhttps://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/how-to-uninstall-v12-community-edition-completely-t89675.html But, when i try to install, I still get that same error message, as shown above.here is the contents of VbrSuite_26_05_2024_10_32_34.log[26.05.2024 10:32:34][INFO] Configuration file: G:\Setup\VBRSettings.xml[26.05.2024 10:32:34][INFO] Engine is starting...[26.05.2024 10:32:34][INFO] Creatin

Hey all,I have installed veeam backup in GCP and in the policies I have created, both the snapshot and the backup are working (attached images).now i would like to clone this backup that veeam has generated, in a new instance of GCP, but i don't see how to do it.the idea is not to use the veeam windows backup (VBR) or another system, but to do it from GCP.take the structure that veeam has created when leaving the backup and restore or clone the machine in GCP.I don't see the option to do it. maybe it is not possible. someone help me to clarify this issue.I have consulted articles like the ones below, but they do not help me:If it is not possible to do it as I indicate, and I have to use VBR as a prerequisite, what is the point.I mean, is it essential to use it? is it mandatory to have VBR installed and there is no other way?Thanks in advance.   

Hi all… greetings…I am wondering if expiry date can be shown in the Veeam GUI under backup properties?With using Dell DataDomain immutable repo 

adding hyper-v host failed with "invalid credentials" noting that we don't have domain and the Veeam and Hyper-V are on the same subnet.

Hi Team,Actually, we restored one VM through instance recovery and it’s completed successfully, but one NFS datastore mounted on vCenter datastore. why? and one more thing if it is mount then after should be delete automatically? why it is deleted manually?is there any option available to avoid mounting or delete automatically.     

Hi Folks, What has your object storage journey with Veeam been like and at what stage are you at now?I started using S3 compatible the minute Veeam introduced it as capacity tier for Scaleout repos. I leveraged a 4 node Docker Swarm cluster with Minio. I chose Docker Swarm at the time as Minio advised to use containers for multitenancy and mentioned Kubernetes. I arrogantly thought I would read up over the weekend and on Monday get it going. That was not the case to say the least. Docker Swarm was much simpler and I eventually went with that. The solution worked well but my lack of deep understanding put some restraints on what I could do, not to mention that Docker Swarm, while being a solid solution did not have the incredible fine tuning capabilities that Kubernetes has.Since then it has been all Kubernetes and S3 never far behind. It got to the point where I simply had to defect to the S3 compatible side of the force completely 😁. So what was your journey, what are you using. What

Hallo zusammen, viele meiner Kunden setzen VBR mittlerweile - auf meinen Rat hin - in eine VM, um somit flexibel zu sein und z.B. auch via Replication die VM selbst in ein zweites Datacenter (z.B. auf lokale Disks eines ESXi-Servers) zu kriegen und im K-Fall mit wenigen Klicks die Replika-VM hochzufahren - so weit so gut. Einer meiner Kunden betreibt ein auf Nutanix AHV basiertes Cloud-RZ und auf der primären Site vSphere. Die Herausforderung ist nun, mit sehr geringer RTO im Falle eines Ausfalls der Primärsite auf der DR-Site (AHV) Instant Recovery zu fahren - das geht ja gegen alle Hypersivoren, also alles gut - nur ohne Veeam-Instanz nicht machbar. Möglichkeit 1: Spricht etwas dagegen, den VBR Server als VM von vorn herein auf AHV laufen zu lassen (dort stehen dann auch S3 Tiers mit Immutability und ggf. auch andere Repos) und eben über eine Site-to-Site-VPN o.ä. die Repos und Proxies in der Primärsite anzusprechen? Was benötigt man da für Performance / Latenz oder seht ihr Vor- und

Hi folks,We have Veeam B&R and a hardened repo for all our backup jobs. Repo is configured to allow 8 concurrent tasks. We run a SAP backup job every 10 minutes. When SAP backup runs while there is any other job running that uses all the connections to the repo, the SAP job fails. I’ts unable to wait for the repo to have any ‘channel’ available as other jobs do.Is there any setting to tell the SAP job to wait until there is any available connection to the repo?Thanks in advance

Hello All, I have a TAPE job that works well until one day is skipped, for example, due to a holiday. In such cases, it tries to back up the missed days as well, but then it no longer fits on the tape. Currently, there are 10 processes in the TAPE job, but if a day is skipped, it becomes 20 processes, and if two days are skipped, it becomes 30 processes.I can only fix it by deleting the TAPE job and creating a new one. This again only works well until a day is skipped. I am using the following: Veeam Backup and Replication 12.1.1.56, TAPE: IBM ULT3580-HH6 SCSIAny idea? Thanks,

Hi all. The situation is a little unusual, in our infrastructure there is a working version of Veeam Backup & Replication 11 running on a virtual machine with Windows Server 2019 Standard, everything is fine with it. But recently we launched a spare physical server in the data center, I exported a virtual machine with Veeam there, and now it does not start.Of the 16 Veeam services, 3 cannot start - “Veeam Backup Service”, “Veeam Broker Service” and “Veeam CDP Coordinator Service”, so the management console does not start. Error 1064 “An exception occured in the service when handling the control request”.Please help me understand what’s going on, this is a complete copy of a virtual machine, just running on a different physical host, what’s the problem?

Does Veeam allows to delete a specific Restore Point via GUI? I want to delete an oldest full backup. Can I directly delete it from the physical location? I reckon this is not going to corrupt my backup chain as I already have another full backup.  

Hi All,I am new the the community and fairly new to Veeam and was wondering if anyone would mind sharing their own opinions and/or pitfalls  experienced using the Inline Entropy Analisis feature?My organization uses Veeam for Vsphere backup and DR and I have been asked to gather information prior to using in production.   I sounds great but from what I’ve read so far it has its limitations. Has anyone experienced any performance issues with backups or any other gotchas?   Have you found the feature useful?  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Hello Team, I recently passed the VMCE v12 Exam however the name on the certification badge is incorrect. How do I update the name on the badge? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi, I am designing the replacement architecture for our Veeam Backup environment and need some help understanding where the traffic flows when using hardened repositories in a SOBR. Our current environment we have the backup server at a remote location with direct attach storage and a backup proxy at our data center with direct attach storage.   Each day incremental backups run at the datacenter writing backups to the backup proxy which are then copied to the backup server at the remote location.  Each month synthetic full backups are created at the remote location.  The hardware is end of life and needs to be replaced. I would like to keep the backup server and backup proxy and utilize hardened Linux repositories at both sites.   The primary backups would be configured with a 14 day retention period and incremental backup mode.   The backup copy location would consist of 3 Linux servers with 28 8TB SSDs set up as hardened Linux repositories.    What I need to understand is when synthe

I just got all of our systems upgraded to v12.  With that said, I have two clients using hardened repo’s and two different people set them up, neither of them were me, and the system I’m working on now - the engineer that set that up left the company and moved on a couple months ago.  I planned on dipping into these a while ago but never had the time and am now thrust into it.  And my linux skills are still fairly basic, maybe intermediate at best.So here’s what I have:The configuration, not that I think it matters, but is a Ubuntu VM running on a Synology NAS with a virtual disk mounted to the VM.  I upgraded from v11 to v12 but the repository became unavailable during this process.  Single-use credentials are in place and I think I’ve mostly got around the learning curve on this, but can’t quite make connections on things.There are two accounts, I’ll call them “repouser” and “admin”.  Repouser is the account that should have permissions to the repo at /mnt/veeamrepo/backups.  Admin i

Hi! I’m using a NFS share for K10 DR. The retention policy in the DR policy was changed to only keep 1 hourly version. Therfore only one version should be kept. It looks liket the old version get retired. But the space on the nfs volume isn’t freed up. Also the usage report shows that the storage is in use by kasten-io. What can I do to free up the space? Is there any manual disk space reaclaim job which needs to be run?

Hello, I have configured oidc auth on my Kasten K10 instance.The SSO returns the user groups.If the user is in the group k10-admins, they get unrestricted permissions, which is as expected, and are redirected to the K10 dashboard.The problem I confront is that users who are not in the k10-admins group also access the dashboard but do not see any data. On their profile, they can see that they have no permissions at all.I want to restrict access to the K10 dashboard page for users who are not in the 'k10-admins' group, similar to standard login procedures. Best regards, Mike

I had a few questions about backup from onsite computers to the cloud. I am currently using the community edition of veeam backup and replication. The backups are currently going to onsite storage. Does the community edition has the capability to backup to cloud storage? If so how? Is there any difference between the community edition and the essential edition aside from the number of workloads they can support? I see that veeam supports backups to AWS, Azure, and Google. Does veeam support backing up to other cloud storage providers?

Hi all,I am having my blueprint for backuping elasticsearch database.Blueprint looks quite the same as the original one, but with just hardcoded values for username and password.But, unfortunately, I am getting this errorLook at the first line of the snapshotAs you can see, my {{ toJson .Profile }} is not even rendered correctly, so I am getting value of ‘null’ for that.Not sure why that is happening. My elasticsearch statefulset, which I am trying to backup, is running inside ‘elastic-kasten-test’ project on OpenShift. And my kasten pod are running inside ‘kasten-io’ project. Strange thing is that I cannot see profiles from elastic-kasten-test project, but I can see them from kasten-io project.Cannot see profiles in elastic-kasten-test projectProfiles seen in kasten-io projectAlso, here is my profile on Kasten UI. Can someone please help with this?Thank you all in advance!
