Are things mostly virtual for the rest of 2022 or will there be in person events? 

Hello, Customer have an existing veeam on prem setup plus tape, they do manually  tape vaulting - they manually transfer the tape from HO to dr site (vaulting site).What is the best and seamless approach so that customer no need to go to Dr site to do vaulting.Can we relocate the Tape from HO to Dr, setup veeam resources (server and storage) and have copy/move from HO to Dr then do the tape backup jobs?  Thanks

Does anyone have a network diagram of how to restore through a proxy and without, with ports and protocols?

I tried to update veeam 5.0... but it didn't work. I tried to install the patch and it didn't work. I uninstalled version 5 to install version 6 and it didn't work. I tried to install version 6 on two other stations and it still does not work. I get a windows installer popup when I try to install VEEAM and then it crashes. can you help me please.

I installed in as sandbox environment, all is working but getting ‘unable to validate license’. How do I activate the free 5 node license? 

Good afternoon Group.It is the first time that I am going to install veeam with a client, I have been reading a lot of the documentation and watching the how to videos, but I can't find anywhere that recommends me how to partition all the installation paths and on which disks to put the installation paths for 100 VMs. From what I've read, it would be something like this: 1.-Installation folder at least 40 GB in path A, in this path the database is installed, wouldn't it be better to install the database in another path? 2.-Write cache folder of at least 10 Gb in SSD in path B:? 3.-Guest Catalog Folder, on SSD in path D:, how much space? Hopefully someone can give me their recommendation.Thanks in advance.

Buenas tardes Grupo. Es la primera vez que voy a instalar veeam con un cliente, he estado leyendo bastante la documentación y viendo los videos de how to, pero no encuentro algún lado que me recomiende como particionar todas las rutas de instalación y en que discos poner las rutas de instalación del veeam server para 100 VM. Por lo que he leído, seria algo asi: 1.-¿Installation folder al menos de 40 GB en el path A, en esta ruta se instala la base de datos, no seria mejor instalar la base en otra ruta? 2.-¿Write cache folder de al menos 10 Gb en SSD en el path B:? 3.-¿Guest Catalog Folder, en SSD en el path D:, de cuanto espacio? Ojalá y alguien me pueda dar su recomendación.Gracias de antemano.   

I have deployed a sample EFS app in an AWS EKS cluster as described in the AWS documentation. I’m using dynamic provisioning & the sample app is deployed to a dedicated namespace efs-app. The pod is running as expected & writing data to the EFS file system.I created a manual snapshot of this app from the Kasten dashboard & exported it to S3. As described in Kasten documentation, Kasten used the Shareable Volume Backup and Restore mechanism to backup the contents of the EFS file system. This was verified by observing the pods in the efs-app namespace as Kasten spun up a new pod, mounted the EFS volume & backed up its data.In another EKS cluster in another AWS region & another AWS account, I created an on-demand Kasten import profile & ran it to successfully import restore points for efs-app from S3. However, when I try restoring the app from the restore point, restore fails with the error:Job failed to be executed > Failure in planned phase > Failed to rest

有些场景中需要用到surebackup  来验证某些之前的备份文件的还原点，但在application组里面找不到指定还原点的设置？

Hi, can you help me figure out this scenario.Customer have a license for VBR version 11 with few instances.They want to backup their Azure VM’s and store the backups on their Azure blob or Azure Smb file share. So the plan is  to spin a vm instance on their azure,  install VBR on that new VM instance, add the license, add their VMs as managed server on the VBR, configure target backup repository as Network attached storage (SMB) or configure target backup repository as (Object Storage - Azure Blob).Note: License is for VBR version 11 and not for Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure.Now the question is, what is the proper approach for this scenario?Can we add each vm instance from their azure as managed servers to be able to backup it up or do we have to connect through Veeam backup Microsoft azure appliance? (Note: Customer does not want to deploy Azure Appliance)Is adding Azure SMB share as backup repository supported? Can I directly point my backup to my target Azure Blob repository? 

Dear concern, I’m looking for a way (if even possible) to migrate a Windows Server 2012 Foundation(!) to an upgradable Windows Server 2012 Essentials or higher. Final goal is to get this system on a 2022 Essentials including all installed applications. The Server 2012 Foundation is not a DC !A direct upgrade of a Windows 2012 R2 Foundation to any other Windows Server version is imho not possible.Previous steps so far:New machine running main lates ESXi7.02 Migrate physical Server 2012 to VMware host. All test have been successful executed. Install Veeam Community main lates to the VM  Backup VMNow my question concerning the restore. Will this be done to an existing VM e.g. running on a Server 2016 Essentials or even higher? What restore method will be applicable?highly appreciate your comments/hintscheers

Dear Veeam I need your help,1-I would like to know, How Veeam names each file. Exam xxx_Backup_2022-08-18T22018I refer to the last numbers. 2- I don't want to change the name of the backup job, I want to be able to edit or change the naming convention of the backup objects in the repository. like YYYY-MM-DD. 

Buenas tardes,Estoy configurando un trabajo cuyo origen es un NAS y cuyo destino es una TAPE. Me encuentro con que al parecer hay una limitación de lectura a un máximo de 10.000 ficheros por carpeta. Unable to enumerate files in folder x. Failed to get files into from host. SearchId ‘1’ MaxItemsNum: ‘10000’. Pregunto, hay forma de quitar esa limitación o de cambiarle el valor a un número más elevado? Gracias

How would you configure the rule for this infrastructure and limitations.Infrastructure:HPE Simplivity - 4 nodesRunning Policy-based backups for near line native restores.Veeam Backup & Replication 11aVeeam Backup Server is a VM Veeam Backup Server is a Proxy Server Additional VM running as a Proxy Server 1x HPE StoreOnce 3650 33TB as the backup target. Wasabi for S3 Storage (25TB capacity) (No physical server in the environment) Enterprise license editionI would like to use the StoreOnce on-premise as my long and deep backup storage say 6 months and only use Wasabi for disaster with say 1 month - 2 month retention on there.Have Production VMs that want offsite, Dev and QAS can stay onsite.If I only use a Backup Job with SOBR for offsite VM’s how do I get that level of retention onsite and that level offsite.Or do I have to stretch to BCJ with SOBR, but that increases data stored on the StoreOnce as near two copies or data stored. Thanks. Appreciate any insight. 

I’m trying to add an account that does not have MFA using the Veeam O365 Backup Accounts Manager. Password validation using the account password fails. Is an application password now required?

When I tried to run pre-check tool for rook cephfs.The following error shown and I don’t really understand what it means.Can anyone give me some help.  

Hello! I try to backup a namespace containing a deployment with the following resources: deployments, service, configmap, secrets, pvc/pv (storageclass rook and nfs). It seems that I have problems with the nfs storageclass: If I try to backup every ressource I get an error “storageclass not supported”. Thats no problem I thought, because I tried:  Excluding the pvc by name in the policy. But it got stuck in the phase “Snapshotting Application Components”  Can you help me out with this, its freaking me out.  Kubernetes 1.22 fresh installed K10 4.5.9

what is the best option to integrate nimble storage directly with veeam or to present it as disk on veeam servers and configure backup repository.considering backing up physical infra as well.. 

Hii Guys, I'm trying to find a backup to tape strategy on veeam, our company has the following two backup policies:1. Daily Policy- Backup job runs every day, job schedule starts at 07:00 PM and must be finished before 06:00 AM.- Using the Forever forward incremental method- Backup defragment is done once a week- Backup Health Check is done once a week- Retention policy is set for 30 restore points2. Weekly Policy- Job backup runs once a week, starting at 07:00 PM and must be completed before 06:00 AM.- Using the Forever forward incremental method- Backup defragment is done once a week- Backup Health Check is done once a week- Retention policy is set for 4 restore pointsHere's what I want to achieve:1. Backup is stored on tape for 1 month2. Media pool in one month is divided into 4 media sets3. Use as little tape as possible (Due to the limited number of tapes) Can someone give me some input on how to configure it to reach my target, or can anyone give me better input for my backup str

Hello All,I have successfully completed the installation of Kasten-io application.When I run the commands below to see the token information of the service accounts, it does not give any error message, but it does not show the token information either.

Hi Community, I have configure my secondary backup location as aws-s3 object storage. previously I used virtual tape backup to aws via aws tape gateway. Now It gave warning when backup to aws-s3.  8/17/2022 7:10:36 PM :: Using Backup Repository 1 scale-out repository extent (unable to meet data placement policy)  

Hello,I have an interrogation, about how Veeam works with Forever forward  Incremtal backup job and immuability.I know that’s not possible to use this kind of job with an hardened repository, even if you try to configure it, Veeam will pop up an error message. But how it work with capacity tier with object lock enabled?Veeam doesn’t transfer all data block to the capacity tier but only the new data blocks and metadata from each new backup file. (System similar to ReFS/XFS). I read the documentation about block generation but it’s not really clear in my head.If someone have a schema that would be nice.thanks
