Hey all.  Using Veeam Backup and Replication 11 we backed up some files using a files to tape job as a once off outside of our normal backup routine.When I look at the properties of the tape I can see the individual files listed.However when attempting to restore an individual file I get the following:Can I not select individual files to restore?  Do I have to restore the entire tape or am I doing something wrong?thanksjc

Hello, I have a question. I am trying to implement a Veeam Backups Server as a Location Profile in K10. But for some reason, I always get the following error message. Furthermore, I do not see any requests or events on the firewall between the worker nodes and the Veeam backup server. None that are blocked, nor any that are allowed. The IP, the port, and all other information are definitely all correct... Error Message: 

- 1 to many destination replication job- ability to resizing the replication job menu/console- when I edit replication job and go to virtual machines tab, I wish to have more info of the source VMs presented like (cluster, vcenter, etc). it is helpful when you have the same VM name in multiple vcenters. 

Ciao,su una infrastruttura Hyper-V 2019 ho implementato una soluzione di disaster recovery replicando periodicamente le VM su una farm gemella su sito remoto.Tutto bene se faccio failover delle VM ma quando faccio il failback, nonostante i dati modificati siano pochi (solo per fare il test, ad esempio), veeam impiega circa 3 ore per riallineare tutto sul sito di produzione (parliamo di qualche TB di vhdx). Ho visto che nonostante dica di utilizzare il CBT si deve spazzolare comunque tutti i dischi ed aggiornare le VM originali anche se solo di pochi MB.Sbaglio qualcosa io o è un comportamento previsto ?grazie.

Sorry if this appears twice. I thought I had created the question, but cannot find it.Veeam backup&restore has an application config file that is protected by a password.How to I test this password? I do have something written but I want to prove it is correct.I’m hoping to do this without installing a new copy of the applicationMany thanks

I swear I’ve seen some posts about this but can’t find them.  I haven’t dipped into the Linux Hardened repo’s with immutability yet, but one of my engineers recently set one up for a client, but as a copy repository.  I’m putting together a proposal to replace our internal Synology NAS that is our primary repository with a Dell PowerEdge R550 with a fair amount of local space (8x 8TB disks in RAID 5 or 6) connected via 10Gb or 25Gb links. Backup data is currently copied to a SOBR at a remote site that is using a Synology NAS and Wasabi for immutable object storage.  Right now the primary site is keeping 30 days of Forward Incrementals with Active Full’s with no GFS retention, but I plan to ramp up some more retention locally at some point as I ran into space issues a few months back and ended up doing all of my GFS work on the copy repo at the remote site for the time being.Any gotcha’s I should be looking out for this sort of configuration - primarily in regard to using a hardened box

Email notification is working but I was recivinig somthing like chines letters and i try to fix it with dis article KB2692: Notification emails from Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 are sent in an unexpected language , and now test mail is working and whan the backup job is finished Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 in action many said that email notification is sent, but I dont recive any emails.Help ?

hi there, the last couple weeks i face a weird issue which i will describe below.i have Veeam B&R installed on a physical domain joined server 2012 r2. up to now i was able to add all other servers in the infrastructure (one more physical server 2012 r2, some VM servers 2012 r2 and a Azure file server 2019) without any issue.even a remote non domain joined server over a VPN connection.my issue is that i cannot add a non domain joined physical 2022 server located on a remote site which we have VPN connectivity, as a standalone server. need to add it as we are going to have a VN running there.please see attached, thank you in advance for your assistance.ps: i can ping the server and credentials are tested and working just fine since i can connect to that server using RDM

I am currently using Veeam EssentialsOur HCI is Nutanix and we have roughly about 28 VM’s on itWe are currently evaluating Proxmox VEHow can i restore full Backups of my critical VM’s to the Proxmox VE? 

We have a location in the US where our VBR server in DE seem to have some connection issues sometimes. Latency and packet loss I see in smokeping is not that high, even better than for most of our other remote locations. Still we see errors like below in out backup and offload jobs for 2-3 VMs out of 35 on a daily base. The IP is the local proxy there. Processing xxxx Error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 172.31.132.113:2508   First job retry is successful most of the time. Anyhow, I’d like to get rid of those errors. Support suggested to change following regkeys to adjust.ConnectByIPsTimeoutSecAgentStartTimeoutSec But this did not change anything. I think we need settings for retries not timeouts. Any other ideas? Network team already checked everything and did not find anything. As I wrote, monitoring graphs also do not look too bad.

Hello, We’re trying to make a backup on a server using Agent but we’re facing this error message. 

I wanted to ask any Service Providers out there that may use tape with Veeam - do you have sizing set up so that when you have X number of Tenants you add tape drives or another tape server?I am working on our design for our Veeam VCC to Tape offering and I am trying to put together some rough estimations of when you have X number of tenants on VCC you add either - X number of tape drives more or add a second/third tape server to the mix.We have currently 47 tenants with one tape server which had 3 tape drives connected (now it is up to 6 as we added 3 more yesterday) but it still seems to be a bit of a headache due to the number of jobs running plus when a Restore request comes in.Hopefully someone has experience around this as I have also asked our SA at Veeam as well to see if there is any documentation, they have similar to the limit's spreadsheet for VBM365 which is great.Thank for looking and chiming in. 😁

Hi,I was wondering where the “Cluster ID” comes from that is provided in the UI when enabling Disaster Recovery in the Dashboard. Is it saved to a Kubernetes resource and is it possible to retrieve it from the Kubernetes API?Kind regards

other components like granafa also have this issueWe use rook-ceph as storage class

 before today everything was fine,  i have actions stucked in pending state, when i am trying cancel action i am getting this error message:Connection ErrorRequest failed with status code 500 (dashboardbff-svc)    Stucked Actions:  logs of dashboardbff-svc’s pod     

Hello,we want to change the naming of the media sets in our tape media pools and encountered a situation with the available variables.Our goal is to include date and time in the media set name in format ”yyyymmdd_hh:mm”The variable %date% gives date and time in the format “dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm” (ok, the date format is based on the system locale). But we cannot change the system locale for this…. 🙁With the variables %year%, %month%, %day% and %time% it should be possible to build a date_time string in the desired format. But unfortunately, the value of the %month% variable is the name of the month, not the numberDoes someone have an idea or a trick how to get the number of the month? Are the variables configurable? Just asking all the experts here before opening a support ticket. 😎 Documentation mentions nothing about this…https://helpcenter.veeam.com/archive/backup/90/vsphere/add_media_pool_set.html Please forget my question 😂😂😂You should look at the documentation for the correct vers

So in B&R v12 it is possible to directly backup to an object storage - same is valid for the agents if I’m not mistaken. Testing the current beta hasn’t given me that option to choose an object storage as target repository, so I guess it can only be achieved in combination with B&R? Or does it still have to be developed? Thanks!

For an our customer I will have to integrate the backup of VM replicated by vSphere replication software, some one have tried to do this ? There are known issue or limitation ?Thanks  Luca

Hello,I am in the process of trying to migrate about 7 applications within a single namespace to a new cluster.  I have the backup/exports [references only] from the source working and I can import on the destination side. Question(s):Can you transform ALL (deployments, configmaps, secrets, statefulesets, pvc, daemonsets) resources with a path of “/metadata/namespace” to something new, while doing the auto-restore? Without doing one application/resource at a time Is there a way to set the Transform subject to multiple items? Assume the answer is no but…. Environment:K8 on-prem source: v1.21.1 destination: v1.24.2 K10 v5.0.4 (both) Shared S3 bucket between both K10 just for migrations

Hola.. me gustaría saber como puedo garantizar que las copias que hago están limpias de virus porque de nada me sirve el 321 si las copias están ya infectadas.. además puedo comprobar que la copia se ha realizado correctamente?¿ Gracias

Hi We have a Dell T130 RAID 5 - 4 X 1TB  Drives No hot spare - DELL PERC H330 Adp SCSI Disk.What is best practice to back this up with Veeam ?Regards

Happy Friday everyone! I was having a chat with @regnor yesterday and we were getting a bit sarcastic about the gap between new products and how long it takes for them to have a proper data protection option available (Teams Chat API is a great example of this!). So I thought this might be a bit of Friday Fun.I want you to market data loss, like it’s a good thing! Whoever’s gets the most likes is the funniest and wins being the “answer” to the question (for those sweet sweet community points!) Scenario: You’ve just lost all your company data and you’re about to tell the board, what do you say? Example: “You know last month I was complaining about our tech debt? Well… it’s gone now!” Now your turn! And be as silly as you like, it’s fun Friday after all!!! 😁
