for a customer I have Veeam 12 installed and as primary Repository an Ubuntu Server with the possibility to configure immutability, as secondary I have a Gen4 HPE StoreOnce with also the possibility to configure immutability, where do you advise me to make immutability backups, on the Primary or Secondary Repository or on both ? (the two Repositories are in two different locations)

Hello, Thanks,For the linux hardened repository, Windows Agent Backups (volume and file) complete successfully.However, Hyper-V fails.Windows.Server.DataCenter.Evaluation.Edition.2022.21H2VBR server - 12.0.0.1420 P20230178The backup repository is linux hardened, located over the internet, not local.Note: for this linux machine, I made sure ping from repo -> VBR work ;winkThe backup repository location is a mounted SMB share.Given the error is `Failed to make the backup file immutable: Inappropriate ioctl for device`,my small brain thinks ALL immutable backups would fail, not just Hyper-V?Please advise? Queued for processing at 11/5/2023 12:25:15 PM  Required backup infrastructure resources have been assigned  VM processing started at 11/5/2023 12:25:20 PM  VM size: 127 GB (5.4 GB used)  VM is now in the required state for processing  Preparing to create snapshot  Guest processing skipped (VM is powered off)  Creating VM recovery checkpoint (mode: Crash consistent)  Storage initializ

Helloour NAS had a problem and the content was wipe out.  So I need to start over with the first full backup.What should be the correct actions to be done? I did a new full backup with success but the Veeam database still show old entries (and I understand that) need you advise thanks

Hi, I’m trying to back up a VM running on a standalone ESXi v8 host using Veeam B&R v12 Community edition.  When I set the job up it ran successfully but all subsequent (scheduled) backups fail with “Failed to create processing task for VM Sophos Firewall Error: No proxy available”.If I edit the job without changing anything (just applying the same settings) it will run.  Also, if I do the same with the VMWare Proxy object or the veeam server object (in Backup Infrastructure > Managed Servers) it will also run.  In all cases it will only run the first time after applying the settings. Again, all subsequent runs fail.The veeam ‘server’ is an i3 8GB Windows 10 22H2 x64 PC.  What looks to be the root cause is an entry in the job backup log that says:[ProxyDetector] VMware host API version is V800. Skipping not x64 proxies[ProxyDetector] VMware host API version is V800 and all available proxies are not x64 so we can not use it with such API versionI’m not sure what to do with this;

Hello, at my home lab, i have a home server running VBAR community edition with the BR(Backup Repository) on the same windows server.I have a storagebox account with hetzner, which allows smb over internet.I have created a BR using that smb share and it works great.Not sure if I am violating the community license?and that bring up another issue, I could rent a cheap vm from hetzner and install a linux hardened repository?

Hello I would like to know if the Veeam installation process enable xp_cmdshell under MSSQL

hi team,hope everyone’s ok. just wanted to ask and get some ideas/suggestions regarding retention policy on a backup copy job.first of all, i have on-site a Qnap for local backups and on a remote site another one for copy jobs. local backups have their own retention policy while on remote i have different ones.from my understanding, backup copy works with forever forward incremental backups and when the retention policy kicks in, i get a full backup of the backup job.so my question is: shall i add on the retention policy i have set on each backup copy job the “keep certain full backups longer for archival purposes” with a different duration?many thanks

Good day Community -With Linux being more prevalant in environments, including Veeam supporting Linux within its deployment components, it is a bit cumbersome to manage all these devices individually. So my question for the Community today is → what centralized management tool(s) do you use to manage your Linux server footprint?..to update, push scripts, monitor, etc? I’m needing to update & even push a script (change) out to our Linux servers and don’t want to touch all of them individually. Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated.I did a little bit of searching before posting and saw a tool called Landscape which looks promising, but don’t know anything about it & open to hear anyone’s experience with it...or again..any tool. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am looking for a method or script to run backup jobs on a custom schedule.The built-in scheduler seems very basic, and as a result, I have to run all jobs as incremental and then manually trigger a full every two weeks.I have searched the veeam scripts and forum, could not find an solution.so does anyone have a script or technique to run backups on a custom schedule?perhaps using windows task scheduler, powershell, python or any such way?Thanks much,David

I want one Tape full backup per month, do I need to configure the Media Pool for Incremental Backups?

Hi Team,Do we have any mechanism in VBR to transport all logs to external Syslog Servers?  I do understand we save most of the logs on Installer folder but my requirement is to automatically transport all the logs to external syslog server.Regards,Sunny 

Hi everyone, greetings…I am not sure the math behind for this settings I seen the default is Forwards Incrementals with Weekly FullsSo mean Mon-Sat incremental x6, Sun full x1Daily 30 which keeps 26 incremental, 4 fullMonthly 3 which keeps 3 fullYearly 3 which keeps 3 full For full I think it’s related to ReFS, but not sure how it become 9.92TBFor incremental backup I calculated as 30TB *5% *30days *50% = 22.5TB (somewhat different)Weekly 0 because GFS set 0Monthly 3 copies = (30 + 30.25 + 30.5) * 50% reduction = 45.375 TB if w/o ReFS (but I tested it is 39.24TB if w/o ReFS in sizer) - I tried it by index 30+30.24+30.48 *50% = 45.36TB also different Btw, what are the ReFS ~50% compression comes from? any docs for that? And lastly for yearly (30+33+36.3)*50% reduction = 49.65TB w/o ReFS (very close to calculator this time but not exactly) And why the ReFS does not significant in yearly ?Turning on /off does not affect the yearly sizing much If ReFS turned off

Anyone using Veeam Enterprise Manager have issues with the API URL?  We use a custom built tool that connects to VEM (VBR behind the scene) and provisions customers for our VCC.  I have one server that cannot get to the API for some reason and shows the below connection reset message.I have upgraded the VEM to the latest patch from July and ensure everything with FW, etc. is configured correctly.  Any suggestions appreciated.Veeam Enterprise Manager API URL - Connection Reset Message 

Hi everyone,I am thinking of a design like that A tape library with x3 FC drives (say XYZ), connected to SAN switches Then the SAN switches connecting to 4 servers (say ABCD)Normally, the tape drives are backup up servers ABCWhich mean drive X-A, drive Y-B, driveZ-CWhen one of the servers down, (say B), server D will take up the role become X-A, Y-D, Z-Cwill it work and if Veeam support setting like that?

By default k10 can not see the restore point when user delete the namespace unexpected directly.Kasten should retain the namespace info. Otherwise user should create the namespace firstly before restore appications from export data. # What do you expect k10 should do?Even user delete the namespace directly, k10 can still see the applications restore points. # Your Kubernetes Versionv1.21.12 # k10 version in your environmentversion 4.5.14 # CSI infoceph-csi rbdplugin # What's your Location Profiles3 compatible (minio)

I have on the VBR a copy job, a backup copy job to a hardened repository and a tape job. Now for VBM the customer also wants the data to be copied on the primary repository, then a copy on the hardened repository and finally on tape, how can I configure this?

ciao, io sono sempre stato molto a favore dell’uso delle tags vSphere per selezionare le VM che vengono salvate dai Job.Quindi cerco di portare i miei clienti da quella parte.Ne ho uno dove si è formata una corrente di pensiero che non ama questa procedura perché “si rischia di dimenticare” e vorrebbe fare dei job che catturino tutto un cluster (ad esempio)Considerato che parliamo di una infrastruttura da centinaia/migliaia di VM la cosa non mi piace per niente. Quali argomentazioni usereste per sconsigliare questo? Io ho pensatoun job con centinaia di VM tutte diverse (s.o., applicativi) diventa complesso da gestire nella parte di guest processing un solo job ha un solo repository un job molto grande diventa complicato da gestire nelle backup copy un job solo ha una sola schedulazione possibile un job solo ha una sola politica di retentionaltre idee? grazie!

Hi, I would like to know that can we directly restore from tape for VM backup with HPE Store as disk storage Thank you

Hello everyone. I’ve been beating on this for a week and have finally given in to post a question here. I have the plug-in installed and it works great. Very easy to setup, and it just works.The problem comes where I am not very familiar with MS SQL. I would like to get email notifications for the database backups. It appears that this needs to be configured within SQL Server Management Studio. I have database mail setup and it can send test messages, but I can’t seem to get the SQL agent job for the database backup to kick out an email when it completes.Has anyone attempted to get this working who can provide me with some information?Thanks,Joe

HelloIm looking for an openshift backup solution and would like to have details about kind of objects can be backed up with Veeam\Kasten.I guess that backup of Deployments, DeploymentConfigs, StatefulSets and VMs is a “must” so what about ability to restore, if necessary, a simple secret, service-account… Can we do that?Another topic, it is possible to create a SLA selecting as source of data an specific project? Where can I find out detailed product features?Best Regards
