Can anyone tell why veeam doesn't provide database backup such as MSSQL? There are many backup softwares that can backup only database so how is veeam different from them? 

Hi @all,i am new by veeam. I have installed the community edition and will testing backup. Next week i have a tech demo with a veeam consult for full version. But now i will testing the free funktions, and i have added my S3 Bucket. The connections to Amazon S3 works, but when i will configure a backup job, i cannot choose the s3 Storage as backup destination. It there a limit function for this storage in the communitiy edition?Many thanks forwards Stefan

Hello,a customer has the problem that his VBR server has gotten very slow the last days and since today some agent and plugin jobs are failing (and yes, agent and plugin jobs only are failing, no VM backup jobs...).I had a look at the server and it has hit the 10GB constraint of the the MS SQL express edition for the database size…Is there a procedure to shrink the database? For example to delete the session history or something else?The setting for the History under General Options is  a option how much entries are shown in the console but not how many entries are saved in the db.Any ideas? 🤔

I have a v11a server backing up @80 servers to an on-site ALL FLASH ARRAY connected at 40Gbps. Does a nightly job without any issues. But it has a 7 day retention policy and then we copy out to a DROBO appliance which is connected at 1Gbps. Since it is only doing the copy job work, no problem.We recently needed to do some file restores and found out that the restore speeds were very slow off of that device @ 10Mbps which is pretty much unusable. So my question to the community is this. What would be a good device / configuration to be able to keep my GFS , older, backups on locally that would offer a reasonable cost / capacity / data protection? I looked into using the S3 cloud as well and the upload speeds were terrible for me, like 8Mbps and download at 75Mbps. If I have to restore  500GB of files that would be way to long.  Almost al of my servers are Virtual in VMWare running in a CISCO UCS Chassis connected at 10Gbps to the switch. What are the success story configurations? I look

We recently ran in to an issue as noted here in the forums - Ubuntu Hardened Repository - Path is not XFS - Veeam R&D ForumsHas anyone seen this and come across a fix?  We are working with support on it but wanted to ask the community.  The server has been working fine and the path is definitely XFS as we validated everything.Error - 

Hi, everyone! We have a single VM that is over 65TB in size, that we are backing up. We have run into a snag. VMware maxes out at 65TB, so we are running out of space on this backup and we don’t know what route to go in terms of setup. Is SOBR the preferred backup infrastructure for a VM of this size?

The new sql-server should appear in the Protection Group protection-sql the OLD sql server should disappear, because they do not belong to the sql cluster anymore. The existing backup job should recocognize the missing sql Server but will continue backup the

Hallo Zusammen,Ich habe ca. 20 VMs in 5 Jobs aufgeteilt wegen der Häufigkeit der Backups. Das OS der VMs sind nahe zu gleich bei allen VMs. Es sind alles Windows Server 2019. Wirkt die Deduplizierung der Jobs die mehrere VMs beinhalten auch auf das jeweilige OS oder nur auf die einzelne VM?Gruß   Kostas 

Hallo Zusammen,ich verwende V11 Standard Edition auf ein ESXi 7 Server mit ca. 20 Windows Server 2019 VMs.ich habe derzeit zwei Partitionen. Eine Archiv-Partition W: mit ca. 600GB bei ca. 3.5Mio. Dateien. Das sind Source Files von Software Projekten. Die Produktiv-Daten liegen auf der Partition C:Es würde reichen die Archiv-Daten einmal pro Woche zu sichern da sich sich normalerweise nicht ändern werden. Die Produktiv-Daten würde ich täglich sichern.Es geht auch um die Wiederherstellungszeit falls notwendig, da ich im Desaster-Fall das Archiv nicht mit zurück sichern müsste, zumindest nicht im ersten Stepp. V11 bietet die Möglich VMs komplett zu sichern und auch Volume Backups. Ist es Sinnvoll Volume Backups zu erzeugen oder ist Veeam so effizient dass ich mir das sparen kann? Die 600GB sind keine große Datenmenge. Allerdings die Aufteilung auf 3.5Mio Dateien ist durchaus ein Problem, mindestens beim Restore. Alternativ könnte ich das Archiv auf eine separate VM auslagern da ich Micros

Hello,I’ve upgraded from 4.5.10 to 4.5.13 this week, since then my backups are failing.Looks like there is a new ambassador version since 4.5.12, which can’t be pulled (Back-off pulling image "quay.io/datawire/ambassador:2.2.2")Can’t find that image version on the quay.io registry. Is this a known issue?

Hello everyone,I am trying to federate the Kasten setup behind an Ingress Controller (see here for more info https://blog.kasten.io/posts/how-to-set-up-alerts-in-kasten-k10-to-immediately-catch-failed-backups) . It seems that everytime my Prometheus server tries to scrape data from the Kasten K10 Prometheus instance, located at the address http://<ingress>/k10/prometheus/federate it requires a login. I managed to do that by passing “authorization: credentials: inside the Prometheus job config.Are there anywhere any best practices to do it? What kind of service account, with restricted permissions, shall I create in order to just have the exact permissions to get monitoring data?Thank you!Mattia

Hi,  I have one VBR Server 11 wherein I have created the SOBR having capacity tier of azure blob.  While creating SOBR I have defined move policy with 0 days.  My retention policy is 7 days with 1 full and 6 incremental.  My requirement is to move the data onto azure blob automatically as soon as it reaches to performance tier.  In my case data is not offloading to azure blob and veeam is taking its default counter of every 4 hours with 0bytes of data offloaded to azure. Can anybody help? Regards,Sunny 

Sottopongo alla community un tema dal quale non riesco a trovare via di uscita.Ho un file server windows con filesystem deduplicato che ogni fine settimana esegue il processo di garbage collection. Il processo di garbage muove in quella circostanza 700GB-1TB di dati che Veeam tratta e backuppa di conseguenza. Questo delta significativo incide in maniera importante sullo spazio del repository ( repository linux con file system xfs + immutabilità ) portandolo a riempirsi.Chiedo se qualcuno ha un consiglio su come aggirare il problema, agendo lato Microsoft o lato Veeam, o se siete a conoscenza di best practices per queste circostanze di cui tener conto.GrazieLuca
