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 Team,We faced issue when enable export backup to S3 compatible, the snapshot is completed and success but export phase failed.phases: - attempt: 3 endTime: 2023-11-27T04:03:08Z errors: - cause: '{"cause":{"cause":{"cause":{"cause":{"message":"Failed to exec command in pod: command terminated with exit code 1"},"message":"Access Denied"},"file":"kasten.io/k10/kio/kopia/repository.go:650","function":"kasten.io/k10/kio/kopia.ConnectToKopiaRepository","linenumber":650,"message":"Failed to connect to the backup repository"},"fields":[{"name":"appNamespace","value":"frontpage-ops"}],"file":"kasten.io/k10/kio/exec/phases/phase/export.go:266","function":"kasten.io/k10/kio/exec/phases/phase.prepareKopiaRepoIfExportingData","linenumber":266,"message":"Failed to create Kopia repository for data export"},"file":"kasten.io/k10/kio/exec/phases/phase/export.go:168","function":"kasten.io/k10/kio/exec/phases/phase.(*exportRestorePoint

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

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?

Hey everyone. I have problem with my Kasten with AD/LDAP auth method.When I use Kasten with the LDAP authentication method, a blank page returns when I route. However, I do not encounter such a problem with the token authentication method. When I try the same configurations in my second openshift environment, there is no problem. And there is no problem in my Dex container when I checked the logs. So in my Auth pod, I get the error "Fluentbit connection error, connection refused". I also get this error in my second Openshift environment that running LDAP, but at least the LDAP login screen appears. I checked my Dashboard URL many times and there is no problem with the URL. Why could it be? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello, I wanted to be sure that fast clone is enabled but I can’t see it anywhere.As I remember on v11 it was written in the “Action” description.I’m using Synology NAS connected directly via iSCSI to the Windows Server 2022.It’s formatted as ReFS (64KB).You can see that it was a Synthetic Full but FastClone nowhere to be seen.  

We need to take backup of Vmware VM to On-prem and Replicate to Azure. Also Need failover from on-prem to azure and then failback from azure to on-prem.How can we configure?

Hi, Possibly a question for @Federica or @haslund. As the VMCE & VMCA are yet to have their new exam & certification released, willl there be an extension to the expiry of the current VMCE & VMCAs?For example:I sat my VMCE 2021 in June 2021, my VMCE states it expires the 9th June 2023. Likewise I sat my VMCA in September 2021, and my VMCA states it expires the 1st September 2023. I’m conscious that this looks like it’s just an automation, but as we’re a VASP, and our ProPartner portal is showing this imminent expiry, that it could reflect badly on my organisation if my certifications have ‘expired’ even if there isn’t a replacement certification available. A second question on this, after the 2023 grade exams are available, how long will we have to upgrade before the certifications are counted as ‘expired’ within ProPartner? Thanks!

Hello Forum,Since I’m reconstructing everything I would like to seek some advices for WAN accelerators.We have Primary Site (Austria, Vienna) and Secondary Site (Serbia, Novi Sad).Backup to Primary:Backup Jobs going to Synology LUN that is connected via iSCSI to Windows Server (ReFS 64KB block size) + FastClone From Monday to Friday - Incrementals On Friday - Full Synthetic Backup 21:00 - 22:00 starting of the Backup Jobs Backup to Secondary:I would like to try and implement WAN Accelerators for this so that potentially we have better performance. 2 Source WAN Accelerators. 1 for large VMs and 2 for small VMs 1 Target WAN Accelerator.Question regarding Backup Copy Job:As I’ve read some documentation about WAN Accelerators I checked that Source WAN Acc should have better CPU performance so it doesnt need to be some high I/O performance device and for Target WAN Acc is opposite, is thsi true? Plan is then to use physical Windows Machine with SSD on Target WAN Accelerator How would I appr

Buongiorno, un mio cliente ha bisogno di un report che esamini tutte le esecuzioni di SureBackup e stampi un report con questo tipo di informazioni:La Vm denominata "VM01" è stata testata con successo 90 volte su 100 (90%)La Vm denominata "VM10" è stata testata con successo..... 50%La VM denominata "VM18" è stata testata con successo... 100%Esiste qualcosa di simile in Veeam One o deve essere creato con script powershell personalizzati?Avete avuto richieste simili in passato? Sembrerebbe proprio provenire da un percorso di certificazione iso xxxx o similare…Grazie
