Is there a need to deploy backup proxy for veeam agent backup? 

Hey guys,I read in helpcenter document that you can deploy a dedicated distribution server to reduce the workload on backup server for agent backups. If have multiple agents to backup, can I use the same distribution server for all the agents?

Greetings, I have been searching for a bit now and have not come across an answer to this.  I was wondering if there was a way to export the actual backup job settings and import into another server that already has existing backups.I have multiple Veeam servers I would like to consolidate into one server. I have moved the backup files and rescanned the storage, that part all looks good. What I am unable to figure out is a way to just get the backup jobs onto the new server, and repoint to the storage I have moved the files to.Is there a way to do this without recreating all the jobs?

Confused on what to do with the monthly license review.  This has started popping up on us in the last few days in the backup program (though we’ve been using Veeam already for months...not sure why it’s deciding to start appearing now)We rent a license from a 3rd-party provider.  It’s in their name.I don’t have the “submit” option available when I view the report.  I can only print or save it.  I have a pdf of the file now, but have no clue what to do with it.  Apparently creating the pdf also caused the message to go away every time the program was launched.  Is this all I have to do?  It referenced having to submit it to Veeam, but I have no way of doing that.As far as I am aware, I do not have any access to the Veeam Cloud to send this to you.  Do I just send this pdf to my 3rd-party provider to submit on my behalf?  If so, will my backup program automatically know when they submit the report so I don’t hit the “must submit by” date?    

Hello, relatively new user to Veeam BU here. I am trying to find the cause of the error below:The login is to the vCenter Server. So is Veeam complaining about the certificate for the vCenter Server? Where do I start looking at this point, thanks. ..ar

Hello, I have a Veeam server that backs up a Win server 2016 server located at another location.  Veeam connects to this VM over a SDWAN connection (Zerotier)  This has worked perfectly for years.  All of a sudden, a few days ago, it started failing.  I uninstalled all components (Veeam Agent) from the server, then redeployed the agent.  I can ping the remote server, install the veeam agent, etc on it.  But when I run the job, I get an error:  “Error: Failed to connect to remote backup service.”   Any ideas what could cause this?

Hey Guys,Is it possible to initiate an application item level restore for MySQL backup?

So I had fun the other night.  I had an older Synology NAS that was on NFS4.1 that i upgraded to the latest v7 OS.  However, 4.1 has been removed and reduced to 4.0 for that architecture (i’ve since seen you can bodge it in cmd line but not going there yet).So I had to remove the NFS datastore from vcenter and remap with NFS3 and re-import the VM’s that were solely running on that storage.So now Veeam see’s the VM’s as new ones but one is a large archive server. Before I try to back that up, and find that it needs to backup the entire 20Tb offsite!! is there a way I can convince Veeam that this VM is the same as the one on it’s database.Or do I not need to as it’s clever enough to realise?

Hello, I achieve a functional configuration for SureBackup custom scripts, already created some of them. But I saw that the only result of the scripts that is presented is a true/false output, that is translated to passed/failed on the report of SureBackup. I like to customize this result, write some custom words on the result instead of only passes/failed. Is there some way to do it? On the .xml configured for the Role I did not found any TAG related to it. Thank you in advance.

Hi.Doesn anyone know how using Kasten Helm chart (4.5.9) to influence/change default kanister-sidecar behavior?So far I wasn’t able to deploy it as sidecar in any namespace with limits set (without patching deployments ot statefullsets).Kanister-sidecar attaches properly to any deployment in namespace without limits, and I am unable to find an easy way to to change its resources.Did a little bit tweaking of prod-spec-override, but it seems it’s for different purposes 

Ciao a tutti, qualcuno di voi ha esperienze con il DR di tenant vCloud utilizzando NSX-T? Quali sono le configurazioni necessarie? Capisco che ogni scenario è diverso da un altro, ma mi piacerebbe sapere se ci sono delle linee guida “generali” / requirements da seguire. Grazie Marco S.

Hello,I am trying to snapshot and export an K8s application through the execution of a Kasten Policy.My environment is installed in air gapped mode and when I ran the policy on K8s the “k10-namespace-generic-volume-2.0.13” blueprint is automatically created. I am guessing if there is a way to overwrite the tag image in the blueprint YAML so the image would be pulled from my private repository and not from public one.I wanna change that image: ghcr.io/kanisterio/kanister-tools:0.72.0toimage: myprivaterepo.io/kanisterio/kanister-tools:0.72.0Many thanks!

Dears, I have Veeam backup & replication connected to Veeam service provider console, and I would like to customize a user on VSPC to be allowed to run and stop specific jobs on VBR and not all the jobs created.Because my client wants to run some jobs manually and not periodically and I do not want him to have access to all the jobs created on VBR. Regards.
