Solved

So I have an issue. We backup to disk (a Data Domain, in our case), and from there, copy to tape. So I have 2 jobs - a backup job that writes to the DD, and a tape job (set as secondary target). Backup job is set to make an active full once a week (usually on a Friday), and the other days are incrementals. Pretty standard so far.My issue: on the weekend, we ran out of blank tapes in the library. I had to cancel the running tape job (which was trying to write out the Friday FULL backup). I got some new blanks, and loaded them. But the Monday tape job went to write out the (missed) Friday FULL backup, instead of just doing the Monday incremental. The FULL job is like 4 TB, no way it will finish in time before the next night’s incremental backup will start up. I had to change the scheduled start to “Not scheduled”, just so it would have enough time to finish (else it would have been interrupted by that evening’s incremental job). I don’t want to hold the source backup job - I want it to w

Hello FolksI've installed the Kasten on my K8s cluster.When I go to the `Settings/System Information` section, I see that in `Storage Classes` section, it automatically recognizes my StorageClasses* One `gp2`* One `efs`---The `gp2` is in `Valid` Status, but, the `efs-sc` is in `Failed` Status.When I hit the `revalidate`, I'll see that it creates a Pod and a PVC.The PVC is stuck at the `Pending` and after a while, the task will fail again and delete those PVC and PodHere is the `describe` of that PVC:```shell$ k -n kasten-io describe pvc kanister-tools-rzbr6 Name:          kanister-tools-rzbr6Namespace:     kasten-ioStorageClass:  efs-scStatus:        PendingVolume:        Labels:        createdBy=kanisterAnnotations:   volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-provisioner: efs.csi.aws.com               volume.kubernetes.io/storage-provisioner: efs.csi.aws.comFinalizers:    [kubernetes.io/pvc-protection]Capacity:      Access Modes:  VolumeMode:    FilesystemUsed By:       <none>Events:  T

HelloFor testing Inmutable backups using ubunto server LTS 22.04.3 followingPart 1 - Build an immutable backup repository for Veeam Backup & Replication. | Experts Exchange (experts-exchange.com)Great expirience and working very fine on some spare PCs i had lying around.(doing bare Metal recoverys and testing different storage medias from internal HDD to usb 3.x to iscsi)  Now i tryed to replicate it on a Rasbery Pie 4 but when i try to add it as a Hardened respository  in Veeam i get:Only x86_64 (64 bit) Linux servers are suportend. lscpu shows 32bit, 64 bit and i used a 64 bit LTS version. Now im not the firmest on Linux so mayhaps im overlooking something trivial. Anyone got an idia? Sascha Wagner

Hi, I am new to Kasten. I am not sure, what I am doing wrong. Any help will be great. I Was testing backup and restore using Kasten on the same OCP cluster.Kasten installation details:Red Hat Openshift 4.12 3 master nodes 3 worker nodes VMWare vSphere 7.0.3 with k10 6.5. (free licensed version) 3 nodes in the cluster, 5 nodes licensed having these Kasten licenses - starter license and trialstarter license Kasten installed using helm based installation The Infrastructure location has been defined correctly for the vCenter.

Good morning, I'm trying to install VEEAM 9.5 on a WINDOWS 10 that is virtualized in VMWARE 8, but at the time of installation it gives me a certificate error with ID 110, according to KB2137, I would have to contact VEEAM support, the guy who helped me couldn't solve it, so I came to the community to see if anyone had experienced this problem. With VEEAM 10 AND VEEAM 12 we were able to install but 9.5 generates this error, but I need Veeam 9.5 because the others do not accept VCENTER 5.1, another detail when I install VEEAM 9.5 on VMWARE 6.7 it works correctly.

Hello, First of all Happy New Year! I have been working on a veeam implementation report using the AsBuiltReport framework created by Tim Carman @tpcarman see report here: Project Report: https://github.com/rebelinux/AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR Sample Report: https://technomyth.zenprsolutions.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Veeam-VBR-As-Built-Report.html Now the important thing, I would like to add to the report if the backup server is configured with an Enterprise Manager. Does anyone know if there is a way in powershell to identify which Enterprise Manager the Backup server is connected to? Thanks in advance!

Hello guys, I was looking the new Security and Compliance feature. In my lab the following recommendations are marked as passed :For the first one if I look in the configuration of my proxies the NBDSSL is not checked For the second, I don’t have configure encryption for the LAN backup networkSo I don’t know why by default Veeam mention them as passed. Any idea?​​​​​​​

Veeam released V7a of VB365 just recently (Dec 5th, 2023).https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-for-microsoft-365-f47/current-version-is-1-0-0-860-ga-t39185.htmlThe KB for the patches to 7.0 has all the changes of 7.0.x: https://www.veeam.com/kb4425With a new major release (e.g. V7) we get the changes within the “what’s new” document: https://www.veeam.com/veeam_backup_m365_7_0_whats_new_wn.pdfThere does not seem to be a “what’s new” document for 7a (7.1.x). Here I can only find the full release notes which makes it kind of hard to determine changes.Did anyone find the specific changes within 7a already?

I built a Hardened Repository using the ISO provided here many months ago.  Very happy with it, until I decided to upgrade Veeam to 12.1.  Now it wants to update components on the Hardened Repository end or it will no longer be usable, which it can’t.  Is there a workflow to deal with this or do I have to start all over again on the Hardened Repository side?

Reflecting on a great VUG Belgium in-person event yesterday!We covered a spectrum of captivating topics, and had good discussions with our enthusiastic participants. A heartfelt thanks to Exagrid for sponsoring a delightful evening dinner, adding the perfect touch to a day filled with news about V12.1, SureBackup and some fun facts about the history of Veeam 🚀This event showed the strength of our collective knowledge and collaboration. A big thank you to @smarivoet  @Timothy Dewin@Nico Losschaert and everyone involved in making this event a success. More pictures will follow in this topic.  

I have a basic question. I am using VMWare ESXi Free license and the Free Veeam Backup. Was using just the Windows Agent for a long time but am now using the Backup and Recovery 12. I have an OLD ESXi host running a Windows 2012 Essentials server, and a new ESXi host I am transferring it to for legacy purposes. For Testing I originally just copied the Virtual Machine files to the new box, registered the VM and that worked. When I finally decided to actually move the machine I tested by restoring a backup from Veeam windows agent to the VM as a bare metal recovery. This worked the first time, and the second time. I was testing on the weekends after hours so there was a week between. The next week I decided to actually do it following the procedure that had been successful previously. The restore said it completed successfully, but the server would not boot normally and went to the Recovery Console. It apparently had problems with the active directory database.I tried this several more t

Hello,I have a Hyper-V host with 2012 R2 on it and already added to Veeam as a host and it was working fine.One day I found a VM backup job fail.I tried to rescan the host and found the error Access Denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))I tried to edit the host and check the credentials and found I removed the job and removed the host and tried to add it again but the same error in image above appears.I don’t know where the issue comes from. The credentials are the same didn’t change  Regards,Muhammad

We ended up losing our file server disk, we make a backup with the Veeam agent because it is a physical machine, but several files are corrupted, and I can't get them out of Veeam, I saw that there is a Veeam tool that can help to recover these files but I couldn't find them.

Hi guysI’m having a problem that I can’t seem to resolve.Perhaps someone already have had the same error or experience.Environment :It’s not on a production environment, but on my personal lab I’m using NAS backup of a big file-share to an on-premise repository without any issues I’m using a secondary copy of this backup to another repository without any issues I want to have next to that also a secondary copy of this backup to object storage in the cloudSince version 12 of VBR that is possible, before it was only possible to use object storage for the archive backup of a NAS-backup.I’m having an account at iDRIVE for E2 Immutable object storage.With that latest copy I’m having an issue that I can’t seem to resolve.Because it’s on my lab with my NFR license, I can’t create a support case for this 🤣 Issue : The job start, but after a while I’m getting the following error :  HTTP exception: WinHttpReceiveResponse_callback_timeout: 12152: The server returned an invalid or unrecognized re

Hello,How would my Backup copy Job chain look?Backup Jobs are 7 restore points (Incrementals + Synthetic Fulls)Backup Copy Jobs will also have 7 Restore points.As I’m going trough some old discussions I can see that with Forward incrementals and first Full Backup with backup copy jobs everything has stay above 7 restore points.Also one more question, do I need to seed backup copy jobs if I’m going to use WAN Acceleration in High Bandwidth Mode 

Hello all,What would be your recommendations on Initial Seed for Backup copy Jobs over WAN Accelerator to Secondary site?Do I need to manually copy full backup of each VM that will go over WAN to secondary site or is there some Veeam functionalities that are build for this?What would be your approach 

Hello everybody,I have the following question regarding Backup Copy Jobs:I will create Backup Copy Jobs with Immediate Copying Backup Jobs are configured with incremental + Synthetic Full Backups going to Windows Repo (ReFS 64KB) connected via iSCSI to our NAS storage, Utilizing FastClone option.Now I would like to know is this going to be the same for backup copy jobs?I have 2 Wan Accelerators (Source and Target), Windows Repo on Target Location also connected via iSCSI to NAS Storage that is formatted as ReFs.Are they going to do the same configuration as primary backup chain, incrementals + syntethical (Fast Clone)What are the general best practices for Backup Copy JobsI would like to have identical setup as Backup Jobs on Primary Site

Hello!I’ve been using Veeam to back up a client’s servers, so decided to try out the Linux client on a little server of my own. The server is running:Debian GNU/Linux 11 bullseye (x86-64)The kernel version is:Linux 5.10.0-23-amd64 x86_64Configuration went fine.

Data copies from the Linux hardened repo to S3 On Prem lblows up spacew up space consumption on object storage without a clue why.In this case, the disk consumption on the Linux Repo is about 900TB (after compression & dedup) on XFS. Copying the same data to Object storage scale-out-repo (using 4MB block size as recommend in best-practices guide), object storage size is currently 1.66PB of data and the cluster is almost full (86%)As the disk space was calculated using the VEEAM sizing tool, we calculated with about 1.1PB on object storage with additional space to grow.And the second thing is, that the S3 object deletions object storage receives from VEEAM are much less than they should be, but the immutability time (+ 3 week) has already reached, so there must be much more objects deleted than what is actually happening.

J'ai rencontré des difficultés lors de la connexion des bibliothèques de bande (Tape Server) à la machine virtuelle installée dans un environnement EXSI. Du point de vue physique, j'ai relié le serveur EXSI et la bibliothèque de bande (Tape Server) directement via un câble fibre, sans passer par un commutateur SAN.Je ne suis pas certain de la manière dont EXSI pourra effectuer le transfert vers la machine virtuelle.

Hi all,I setup k8s internal cluster by k3s. I have QNAP device as NFS server, used as storage for PVC data.I’m using NFS CSI driver for Kubernetes .I read these topics:https://kubernetes-csi.github.io/docs/drivers.htmlIt seems that the NFS CSI driver for Kubernetes does not satisfy the requirements of kasten k10 ?If so, can you suggest me which CSI driver supports NFS and fits the requirements of kasten k10?Please give me some advice, thank you very much.
