Solved

Hello,I would like to check with you guys if this performance is solid.I first created everything with WAN Accelerators that are physical machines with SSD, one for source and one for target side but it caused some problems and its not so convenient for me.Now I configured everything with Direct mode and I would like to see if this is a solid performance or not.Our connection on both locations are 1Gbps, around 750-850 Mbps upload/download speed.So this is from Primary Office to Secondary Office via VPN, 2 different countries.I have 3 BCJ, 1 is for 2 biggest VMs, and others are smaller ones.So the biggest VM is now left, all of the others are done but the Processing Rate is not so much to be honest, no other processes are running in the background.  

I’m missing something simple here I thnk…all of my backups are unencrypted and I want to encrypt them, I set one to do that, stored the key in VEEAM and of course offsite too, but how do I know it’s working? I tried a guest file restore from that backup, picked a file, it restored fine, but nowhere did VEEAM asked me to provide the password..  I assume this is because it knows it, but that doesn’t make me feel comfortable with the process. I suppose the test could be to install backup & replication on another computer and try the restore from there? a bit of work though so I’m thinking there’s an easier way or am I worrying about nothing? 

Is there any indication of when the release date for Veeam Backup and Replication - v12.1 will be?

Hello,I would like to know why are there so many differences in performance of BCJ?This is all in one BCJ.Result of already finished one: Results of currently running one:  

I am confused (not an unusual occurrence ...). I have a LTO-7 tape library, with 3 tape drives. Right now, I have 9 tape jobs listed as running (we ran out of tapes this weekend, so I just loaded more). But only 2 tape drives have tapes loaded and are writing, the 3rd is idle. And I’m not sure why … there are empty tapes in the pool for the jobs (all jobs use the same pool), as well as FREE tapes in the FREE pool.So why is my drive idle? I don’t see any option that seems to say “Use only 2 of the 3 drives in the library at any one time”. I must be missing something here, but I can’t figure out what. It’s not an option for the individual tape jobs, right? I have those set to use at most 2 drives. I assumed that meant just for that one tape job, not for all jobs that are executing. So why isn’t Veeam loading a tape in that 3rd drive, and starting to clear my backlog? What have I done wrong? Thanks.

Good morning, I have an issue on our testing environment where K10 discovers too many worker nodes in the cluster. It was working as expected prior the update to 6.0.7. Is there a possibility to reset or fix this?Here is the output of the nodes, as you can see we have 3 control-plane nodes an 4 worker nodes:(⎈|oidc@play:kasten-io)]$ kubectl get nodesNAME                        STATUS   ROLES           AGE    VERSIONk8s-play-m-0.domain   Ready    control-plane   544d   v1.24.14k8s-play-m-1.domain   Ready    control-plane   544d   v1.24.14k8s-play-m-2.domain   Ready    control-plane   544d   v1.24.14k8s-play-w-0.domain   Ready    <none>          544d   v1.24.14k8s-play-w-1.domain   Ready    <none>          544d   v1.24.14k8s-play-w-2.domain   Ready    <none>          544d   v1.24.14k8s-play-w-3.domain   Ready    <none>          544d   v1.24.14

Hi, sorry for the noob question, but when backing up VM’s on Hyper-V, what is the difference between backing up the VM’s via Virtual Infrastructure vs. backing up the disk the VM files are stored on via Physical Infrastructure?  Is it just on recovery, it’s easier to restore the VM’s directly vs. having to restore each of the VM files such as the vhdx files?Thanks!

Hello everyone, Is there an integrated way to backup AHV VMs on NC2, or we should you agent backup?

Hi, I am testing Backup and Replication Community Edition and have a very simple test environment consisting of a single Windows Server 2022 with one boot SSD, two HDD’s and a third HDD which is my dedicated Backup Repository.  When I start the job, it take over an hour before it will begin to process/transfer data.  Is this normal or is stuck waiting for something before it can start the backup?  The server really has no load on it as it is a test machine (physical, not virtual).  Below is a screenshot: Any thoughts would be much appreciated.  Thank you!  

Hello,I would need some general advices in creating Backup Copy Jobs.Is it okay to choose every Backup Job and insert it in the Backup Copy Job, as I can see there is no option to create in which order they will perform etc.  

Hello Forum,I’m getting this weird error now: What could be a cause for this, two Backup Jobs finished successfully and now I get this error and its stuck.

Hello. We have a policy to export all tapes currently in a library that are marked FULL. I can get a list of all FULL tapes in a media pool like this:[String] $LibraryName         = Get-VBRTapeLibrary | Select -Expandproperty Name$TapesToBeEjected     = Get-VBRTapeMedium -Library $LibraryName | Where {$_.IsFull -eq "TRUE"} | Select Name, LastWriteTime, MediaPoolID | Sort -Property Name (there’s more to my script, but that is the relevant querying section) However, that gives me *all* tapes in the pool that are FULL, and I want only the tapes in a pool that are currently ONLINE in a library that are FULL (so it can send an email to the tape operators and tell them to go export the tape(s)). And I have not found a way to do that - I don’t see any property that is returned that shows ONLINE or OFFLINE of a specific tape. Am I just missing it? Is there way to query for this, so I can send an alert email (as a scheduled task)? Or is there some other way to do it? (we don’t have a license fo

Hello, We are looking into moving a set of our VMs that are currently being backed up by Veeam behind a firewall for extra security. We are running the latest version of Veeam and have VUL. Will the VUL policy allow us to install a separate instance of Veeam B&R server behind this new firewall to backup the servers there? And will I need to divide the current license count according to my needs and apply to the new instance of Veeam B&R server? Thank you for your comments and ideas in advance.  

All our TDE encrypted DB(s) are in 'Simple Recovery' mode. Hence there's no 'Point-In-Time' recovery needed.We simply restore a DB from daily backups. Our VBR server is configured as our Veeam gateway server.We'd like to switch to Postgres to save $ on licensing.If you are currently doing this successfully then please let me know your VBR version & Postgres version.Thank You!Kevin

Hello everybody,I would like to know scenario with retention policy in this way. I don’t want to have Forever Forward Incremental backup method because as I saw it’s not recommended by Veeam also, if we do it without GFS.I would like to create Full backups (synthetic) every week.So I’m just a little bit confused how restore points will be available.If I have configured 7 restore points but in GFS I have option to store Full Backups for 2 weeks, how it will end up looking?I’m more curios how increments are going to be removed.

Hi All,I was attending VUG Canada session today and asked question about forcing the backup traffic. It is good to discuss this question here as discussed in the session  When we have VMware proxy configured in the network mode, or any other proxy configured on the network mode,the traffic will be over ESXi Mgmt network. We will have issues in performance and data transfer if this mgmt uplink is less than 10gbps, in most cases it's configured as 1gbps which is not recommended for backup. The question is how can we force the backup traffic to go through good unlink like 10gbps and how can we separate the backup traffic from the production traffic  in the best practice way. Second question if we have agent backup, sure the traffic  will be over the network (I think also the mgmt,please correct me if I am wrong). How can we force the VMware Agent backup to ho over faster link like 10gbps or higher as well. Thank you and waiting for your informative replies 

Hello We used to use EMC Networker as a backup program, and I used to be able to run a command line script that would query for a list of tapes currently in the library, and report on any that were marked as “FULL”. I would send this an email to our tape operators, and they would eject any FULL tapes so they could be sent for offsite storage.Is there a way I could duplicate this functionality for Veeam? Perhaps run a Powershell script that queries the library and reports on the usage status of the tapes currently in the library? (and if so, has anyone got an example they could point me at? Or a different way of getting the same info for my tape operators?)Thanks

HiI am configuring a backup copy to S3 (immutable)   The type of copy is periodic so that it only stores a weekly backup in the cloud (one month retention)    My questions are: how does the S3 backup chain work? Same as locally?      First week will be a full, second backup copy will be incremental but... what happens when the first backup meets the retention? Veeam converts the oldest incremental to a full? I'm right?  Thanks 

Hi Team,I have a site that uses Wasabi object storage for both archiving and have “copy backups to object storage as soon as they are created” checked in the SOBR. This has been ticking away for some months now doing what I’d expect it to be doing. Now I need to test a full scale recovery from this environment, assuming we have a total loss of all on premises infrastructure, including the VBR server. I have spun up a new VM in our DR environment and installed VBR. My next step was to connect to the object storage bucket and attempt to recover VMs from this. But when I attempt to connect I get a warning “Selected object storage repository is already managed by another backup server. If you continue, all jobs currently using this repository will fail. Proceed?” I don't want the current jobs to fail, as this is only a test. Can I still connect to this repository and only read the objects without modifying it? Or can it be mounted in read only? Or is there another way I should be doing thi

HelloI want to get VMSP and VMTSP general certificate but it only appears the individual one (like cloud service provider) how can I get the general one, like the ones before (VMTSP and VMSP 2020/2021)

Hello,I would like to use veeamone with more than just install it and connect backup and virtualisation infrastructure.Do you have some good ressources to link or share the use case you have on your customer or internally ?I already find some good report and solve the alert the product give by default but I think this product could be more usefull with more knowledge.I don t find a lot of ressource with google about it and the main feature I could implement Thanks for your help :)

Buongiorno a tutti, venerdì ho sudato nel tentativo di installare un mini ambiente di Kubernetes su delle macchine linux, per avere un mini lab dove vedere in azione K10.Ho provato sia Microk8S di Canonical: https://microk8s.io/sia Minikube: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/e ho fallito miseramente con entrambi. Sia con le guide presenti sui siti stessi sia cercandone altre in rete. A tutte mi pare manchi sempre qualcosa e alla fine non parte nulla.Qualcuno ha fatto una installazione del genere e… conosce un how to 4 dummies? 😊Grazie! 

Good morning everyone, I sweated on Friday in an attempt to install a mini Kubernetes environment on linux machines to have a mini lab where I could see K10 in action.I tried both Canonical's Microk8S: https://microk8s.io/and Minikube: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/and failed miserably with both. Both with the guides on the sites themselves and by searching for others on the net. All of them always seem to be missing something and in the end nothing starts.Has anyone done such an installation and--does anyone know a how to 4 dummies? 😊Thanks!P.S.: I will soon try also this post from Geoff:  

Hello there! Recently I installed a new VEM server and when I tried to establish connection with my VBR servers i get this message below:I had ever test communication on 9392 and 9405 TCP ports and it works fine.Any idea about this?
