Solved

Dear,We have an application on witch we have create a scheduled policy (every day at midnight). However we would like to trigger the policy automatically every time the application is upgraded via helm chart, using the pre-upgrade hook of helm. This would allow to take a backup before any upgrade is performed and being able to rollback if something goes wrong. Triggering the policy manually is not feasible in our context because clusters are managed via GitOps striving for minimal human activities. I have searched over the web but didn’t find nothing to trigger the policy from helm. Thank you in advance.Matteo.

I’m trying to restore backups from my S3 object storage as EC2 instances in AWS. I’m receiving this error after the EBS snapshot is created:Importing VM Error: Failed to import machine to Amazon EC2: Using an encrypted snapshot as input is not supportedThe reason for this is the “Always encrypt new EBS volumes” setting, which unfortunately is mandatory in my company.Is there a way to work around this?

Buenos dias.Como recomendais hacer la copia de unidades de disco en una maquina virtual que no sea C:\Es decir, copiar de una maquina virtual las unidades E:\ y F:\ por ejemplo.El destino seria una unidad de RDX. 

He borrado todas las tareas de veeam.He borrado las configuraciones.Al borrar el repositorio me da el siguiente error;“The last remaining backup repository cannot be deleted” No me dice nada mas.He buscado info en internet para poder realizar el borrado del repositorio, pero no veo nada y tampoco me deja. Gracias. 

Alguien ha tenido problemas de red mientras realiza su Backup de File Server?Tengo la maquina virtual Windows 2019 Server en Proxmox y para hacer los backups de Veeam tengo instalado el Windows Agent. Si alguien me puede aportar alguna idea estaré atento, gracias.

I was wondering if anyone have a nice Word-template I could use for reporting the results of disaster recovery tests. It doesnt need to be created dynamically from the data of the test. The report is meant for the board members and the CEO on a higher level. So its basically just a nice, clean layout (of course a Veeam logo somewhere...) but also look professional.

Hey guys,can proxy affinity be applied to dedupe storage appliance ?

Hey guys,Now we all know the backup workflow for Veeam. During backup workflow Veeam instructs the client to create a snapshot. But I have seen in customer environments where backup jobs have resulted in failure or warnings where it says not enough space to create snapshot. What is the recommended solution for this outcome?

Hi Team,We installed longhorn for our storage. We want to take CSI snapshots using kasten k10, i have already installed snapshot CRDs .

Hello, I want to ask about something belongs to Veeam Backup & Replication 11 Community EditionI had a machine with total size 4.3 TB on vCenter and all disks are on vCenter Datastore, I had to restore it yesterday to a specific old backup and hit enter and this deleted all current VM and started to restore from the old backup after that I got a call from the team to stop it (at 1%) and restore to some another old backup but when I was restoring to this one I checked the option Quick Rollback, I know this is not recommended at the current situation but that's what happened.My question now is it going to finish successfully or it will fail ? actually it's now 36% (1.6 TB / 4.3 TB)I just want to make sure it will finish with this checked option (quick rollback) Thanks and Regards,

Hi guys, I want to make backup through veeam virtual machines in hyper - V. where on windows to make successfully, but on linux failed . How to solve this problem? 

Hi everybody, I just asked my self the question: ‘what will I do when I need to restore my SQL-server-VM and do need to rollforward to the latest state of the database’.  Assume you have a vm with a SQL-server. You’re backing up this vm every 5 hours and you have configured a transaction log backup every minute. Now something bad happens inside your vm and you know you have to restore the vm from a restore point the day before - say you cannot access the product vm anymore to keep it simple. Whatever you do (IR, CDP replica, normal replica), your vm runs but the database contains old data, you need to rollforward to the latest backed up transactions.  If you just restore you vm with the networks connected, some applications might access the database and would probably insert data - that would be a huge mess. So you’d disconnect the networks, probably login to your vm to delete the database, then connect your networks. Then you could run the instant database recovery added in v11 (I lov

Getting this error on the auth-svc pod on the default installation of K10.helm install k10 kasten/k10 -n k10 I am trying to login to the dashboard via loadbalancer and I am getting a 404 auth denied access error, which I am assuming is related to this pod not booting up. This is a fresh cluster on version 1.22.3 .

I recently added 4 new “Backup Accounts” to my O365 Organization to assist in a throttling issue I ran into earlier with running my whole organization backup job with no additional Backup Accounts.The Backup Accounts show as Configured with a green check mark.I started my regular whole organization backup but I don’t know how to verify that the added Backup Accounts are doing their job. Do I just look in the Veeam.Archiver.Proxy or Veeam.Archiver.Shell log files found under C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup365\Logs?

Trying to backup 1TB over a 10M connection with K10. The “Monitoring Actions” task of backup times out after 10 hours exactly even though I set “kanister.backupTimeout” to 2 weeks.Is this a bug?Also, if the job is canceled, will a second run discover the data in the repo where the former left off or does the entire export have to complete in a single run?

Morning all,Am getting this error when trying to push agent to win svr 2012 r2 :Error 1920. Service <display_name> (<service_name>) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.I have tried the solutions given in KB1059 but still fails, anyone with idea how to solve this? Regards,

Hello,I’m trying to restore a Veeam backup from Capacity tier (S3) into an EC2 instance in AWS.However, I’m facing a problem with the proxy instance. Once I start the restore process, the proxy instance is created, but after abou a minute I get an error:“Preparing proxy appliance VM Error: The destination would not be a correct SSH server.”I tried ssh to the proxy, but the connection gets rejected, while connections to other hosts in the same subnet with the same security groups are successful.So I manually created an instance using the same settings Veeam uses for the proxy, same subnet, security groups, AMI, and found that connections are successful, but only a few minutes after instance creation with that particular AMI Veeam chooses for the proxy instance (aws-parallelcluster-3.1.4-ubuntu-2004-lts).Now, the question is, is there a way to configure the AMI, the timeout or the number of SSH retries for the proxy appliance?Thanks!!!

I’m looking at my Veeam B&R and all of my VMs show backed up and they even show restore points.  You can see from the attached pic that my VM has 10 restore points.  I’ve even done a restore from one of the restore points and it is in fact the VM from 5 days ago. Now, in Veeam ONE, when I look at my protected VMs report, I see zero VMs as protected no matter what time frame I select.  My “other” reports that I run look accurate, but my protected VM report literally shows all of my VMs as unprotected, meaning no backups or no restore points for the RPO.  It sure seems like I’m missing something.  Only just now looking at reporting so hoping for some guidance here. Thank you 

Can’t find an exact answer to this scenario. Is it possible to run a Linux vm (Ubuntu) on a synology (via VMM), and expose (or give access to) the underlying storage to the vm so that we can use the immutable feature?example:1: 40tb storage in one volume2: ubuntu vm having access to that storage somehow (I’m unfamiliar with vms aim synology)3: somehow configuring the veeam server to point to the Ubuntu vm storage so that it can use immutability

All snapshots and actions succeed on my policy run yet the policy is marked Failed and there is no place I can find an error message at the policy level. How can I troubleshoot?

Design question, how to not overload the firewall.Customer has a physical B&R server on LAN1, and a physical Linux Hardened Repo on LAN1.They also have like 100 Physical servers on LAN2, 3 and 4.Traffic goes through the firewall obviously, and the fear is that it will overload it, affecting production.Since we can’t use Proxy Servers for Agent backups (no such thing apparently), how can I avoid pulling the traffic through the Firewall?The B&R Server and LHR are 10Gbit and use tagged VLANs, so I can quite simply add VLAN2,3,4 to the VLAN trunk and give them a link into the Agent VLANs. Will that work? Do I need to add both the B&R server and the LHR, or just the LHR? Can an LHR have several IP’s like that and still work?  Will the traffic go from the agent directly to the LHR or via the B&R server?Other ideas welcome...Thanks!

Hey guys,Apart from checking the logs in program data folder, are there any other methods in veeam to get restore logs ?

Saving a policy that (1) selects applications By Labels (2) has Snapshot Cluster-Scoped Resources doesn’t behave as expected.Expected:Labels remain unchanged. Snapshot Cluster-Scoped Resources remains checked. Applications page recognizes that Cluster-Scoped Resources policy exists.Actual:K10 adds a label k10.kasten.io/appNamespace=kasten-io-cluster to the label list. Snapshot Cluster-Scoped Resources is changed to unchecked. Applications page does not recognize that a Cluster-Scoped Resources policy exists. Policy fails even though all listed actions complete successfully.
