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

Hi,I recently decided to Install the community edition of Veeam Backup Replication on my home server.Each time the Install process seems to fail, then I’m met with the errors pictured below.I have installed it on my Gaming PC with no issues at all.I’ve scoured forums for countless hours and have found nothing that resolves this issue.Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi, I would like to upgrade our cluster to 1.26. But getting following messages on aggregatedapis-svc: 1 warnings.go:70] snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1beta1 VolumeSnapshot is deprecated; use snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1 VolumeSnapshot Upgrade K10 to 6.0.12 with helm charts, but still getting this. Does K10 support 1.26? If so, what is going wrong here? Regards

Hello guys,One of my customer has encounter the following error message in a backup job.I never saw this message before. The Veeam version is 11 last patch.It’s a linux repository.I asked to my customer to open a support case, but in parallel maybe one of you has already meet this one ?!

Ok, I had a test server which I used to test out Windows Agent backups.I’ve now built a more robust server to handle veeam (community edition as we only have a few servers), when I try to backup the same server, I get:I’ve removed the backup jobs, and uninstalled the agent both using the old server and manually going into Add/Remove programs, yet the same problem exists. I’ve also added the registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication AgentDiscoveryIgnoreOwnership DWORD=1Still no joy.  When I go into the registry editor on the machine in question, I can see why Veeam is having a problem.  The values in BackupServerIPAddress, JobSettings, and VBRServerName are all pointing to the wrong server. I’m loathed to start deleting this key.  What do I do to ensure this server I wish to backup now has the correct agent installed?RegardsIan

HI Community, I am currently using Veaam v12 B&R community edition.I have tried to add a service provider for ekco.I have followed steps from https://www.ek.co/publications/using-veeam-cloud-connect/Once I add veeam.cloudhelix.io and the username and password I get the below error.Is the issue down to the fact I am on community edition V12 or is it an issue from ekco’s side?(I have already logged a ticket with ekco support to see what their response will be) 

My question is, if we are excluding SQL data volumes from the original backup job, can we still do full SQL backups and transaction logs using application-aware processing?For some background, in our current state my team is backing up our Windows SQL VMs using a Backup job, then use a Backup Copy job to get those offsite. Since the team has historically ran SQL Agent jobs to do daily full and hourly log backups for each DB they decided to exclude any volumes storing SQL data from the Veeam Backup job. I see the reasoning and I suppose this works, but I’d like to shift to including Veeam on SQL backups so we can easily get those offsite using the existing backup copy jobs.Finally, a sort of related question, if we can use Veeam and the SQL agent jobs in tandem, which one should truncate those? In my testing I’ve had to set the SQL Agent job to copy only mode for things to work, but I feel like setting Veeam to copy only mode should work as well, but I must be missing something since I

Hello to all,As I configure a testing Job with Multiple VMs with the same OS, I can see that there is no difference in the deduplication rate in Report when I run the VM itself alone or in the Group.One more point to ask:The VMs in the Backup Copy Job are all started at the same time when the job starts.Is this how it should be or they need to be run one at a time?

Hello,I am using kasten-io with an S3 bucket with MinIO. For a long time I have wanted to view the backups and see if they are actually being saved in the S3 bucket.Is there a way to see the differential of backups that I have in the mini?In the Kasten-io dashboard, is there a way to see what restore point exists to import it to the destination? Thanks in advance.

I’m very new to Veeam. We use VMware vSphere. I need to be able to backup an entire VM, and be able to restore just individual files from that backup. I thought that doing a “VMware Backup” type of job, with “Guest File Processing” enabled would allow me to do that (i.e., restore just one file from drive E:, as an example). But when I try “Restore Guest Files” on that VM, , I get “Unable to mount disk: unsupported disk type” when it goes to Browse. Have I totally misunderstood what type of backup job I need to be doing, to be able to do an individual file restore of a Windows VM? What type of backup do I need to be doing then, to accomplish what I need? This type of backup looks like I can only restore the entire VM, like a bare metal recovery. Which is good, and I might need that, but I definitely need to be able to restore individual files. Do I need to make a backup job of type “Windows Computer”? I won’t need to push the Agent, because the VM is always connected.Sorry for the newb

my goal isI use veeam to back up my vmware vm machine to a NAS, and then I back up the backup files from nas to aws s3. Then I can directly read the files from s3 and restore the vm machine in aws.But I am currently encountering a problem. The backup from veeam to nas and then from nas to aws s3 goes smoothly, but my veeam cannot read the files backed up by nas in aws s3. Please tell me how to set it correctly.

I am currently developing a DR solution.  I currently have the backup on the source side exporting snapshots.  On the destination side, I have an import job configured to restore workloads with exclusions of certain objects.Issue:I run the the import job for the 1st time today (within 24 hour clock). K10 imports the snapshot from the external S3 target. Then restores the workloadsAfter some testing, I wipe out all the restored workloads, including the namespace to reset the destination for another test.When I re-run the import job:K10 imports the restore point The job marks as complete Without restoring any workloads Question:How can I re-run the import job multiple times to fully test my DR solution?

Hello,I have an issue with my Kasten Multi-Cluster setup recently. When I try to add a secondary cluster, I have this error message : ERROR: API server connection failed (cluster_name: lab)  -> ServiceAccount credentials appear to be invalid    -> the server has asked for the client to provide credentials (post selfsubjectaccessreviews.authorization.k8s.io)  I able to see the cluster in the multi-cluster interface but the secondary cluster is in error 500  I checked logs in pod logging-svc and I noted this line : {"File"=>"kasten.io/k10/kio/multicluster/multicluster_proxy.go", "Function"=>"kasten.io/k10/kio/multicluster.serveHTTPHelper", "Level"=>"error", "Line"=>120, "Message"=>"Could not authenticate request for secondary cluster", "Time"=>"2023-11-13T10:52:24.666972037Z", "clusterName"=>"lab", "cluster_name"=>"0567e4fd-4c4f-45df-ac5c-b18b6abf9385", "error"=>{"message"=>"Cluster ID not found", "function"=>"kasten.io/k10/kio/multicluster.Authenti

Hello,We had 13 Backup Jobs that were all started in the same time period from 21:00 to 22:00.VBR server had 32 GB of RAM and 10 cores. It was a VM.All Backup Jobs were with single VM inside of it.Was this good approach or it was too much for our VBR Server to handle.We didn’t have any off-host Proxies and VBR Server and 60% of VMs were on the same Hyper-V host.It was acting then as only proxy for those jobs as I can assume.What would be the better approach on this?I’m still trying to grasp Veeam with his technologies as best I can..

I’m using Veeam Community (free) license, and I want to use swapped external hard drives as offsite backup for my locally hosted repository.  But when I try to create a pruning Backup Copy job, it keeps saying I need Backup and Replication Enterprise Plus.  The descriptions I’ve read make it sound easy, but they’re all vague about what sort of license is required.  It’s like they are conflating “community” as a forum and as a license?  I absolutely cannot upgrade to a paid license.What am I missing?

Me again with new topic 😁At the moment our VBR Server is located on the Hyper-V Host where are also the 50% of VMs that we are backing up. Without Using Off-Host proxies I can guess that all load will come to Hyper-V host which is hosting VMs and VBR also.I guess that data movers from source VM and VBR are run on the Hyper-V host itself.What would be the best practice for placement of VBR?Is it good idea then to isolate it from the VMs that we are backing up or?I can host it on some Hyper-V Host which doesn’t have productive VMs or anyAlso then our off-host backup proxy should be physical machine or somewhere where we also dont have anything?

Hello Forum,I have question about few things so that I make the change as smooth as possible.The plan is to create everything from scratch because our current configuration is really awful and time for change has come.  Current Situation is like this:VBR V11 on Hyper-V VM Subscription: Enterprise Plus Instances: 20 (13 used) Inventory: 1 Hyper-V Cluster  2 Standalone Hosts Now I need to remove everything from this server and to transfer the license to the new one Questions:How to transfer the license? How to properly remove Inventory so that I don’t have problem when adding it to a new V12 VBR server? I know that few folks had problems when attempting to add the hosts to new VBR, something stuck on the old VBR etc. I will not do a configuration backup because I want everything from scratch. Please feel free to write any other recommendations that I need to take care off.I did it one year ago but I would need the help from Veeam Legends to do it the propper way this time 😁

What does Orphaned and Imported indicate next to Disk in Veeam Backup and Replication under Home tab? 

Hello. The question concerns the display of repository capacity in the Veeam user interface:In the EMC DD console, the capacity is displayed in TiB and is equal to 166.7 TiB. In the Veeam UI, after adding EMC DD as a repository, the same capacity is displayed, but with the TB label.If the size of repository is displayed in TB, then it should be approximately 182.5 TB.Is this a Veeam UI error?  

Hello everyone.Am not sure if this is the write place to ask this..I forgot the encryption password i have set for my veeam backups, and i want to access the veeamBackup database to get the encrypted password and decrypt it as the online manual says. But as soon as i login to the database with sql server studio with the windows authentication settings, the Veeambackup is not accessible. The sa user is not active. This manual here ‘How to install Veeam Backup and Replication 11 Community Edition with a dedicated SQL Server | Veeam Community Resource Hub’ is exactly the same as my setup, but as soon as i get to the part there i am suppose to open the database VeeamBackup to see the tables etc, i get an error ‘The database VeeamBackup is not accessible’. Also added a screenshot below to show it.Any help on what am i doing wrong?Thank you
