I’ve used Veeam Backup & Replication V10 solutino; have File-level-backup jobs, Synthetic full backup, local repo, and use Optimal Data Compression.My issue is, High and Extreme Data Compression does not compress The Backup.my backups took massive sotrage, why is the compression not working?

I have an odd backup setup that I am trying to navigate. We have a VM (VMware) that is being backed up that has a volume listed in the OS as G: drive. This is actually a USB drive attached to the host server and is being fed into VMware via the xHCI USB driver. Veeam is backing up this volume, but is not listing it in the list of backed up drives if I try and create an exclusion. Is there another area to look or another way to exclude just this G: drive from the backup?

I am currently trying to upgrade to version 11 . The first upgrade failed with an error as it could not start the services. I followed this fixhttps://community.veeam.com/blogs-and-podcasts-57/failed-to-connect-to-veeam-backup-and-replication-server-how-to-fix-remote-channel-sink-urinotpublished-remote-connection-refused-and-failed-to-start-the-service-1263 I am now having to repair the installation as the fixes did not work and the services would not start. I have just tried to run the repair and I am receiving a different error "veeam configuration database is in use by the backup server " I have no idea how to proceed.

Hey guys, I watched this video on WAN accelerator and the instructor has told to not specify C drive as the cache location, but in helpcenter documents they have not specified anything like that. Is not setting cache location on C drive a good recommendation? Please refer the video and for more details of what I described jump to 6:27 of the video  

Hi - just testing with community edition. I ran a test backup to C:\backup but I did not have enough space. I’ve added a new repository which is a Synology NAS. I can see a vbm file is created for 2 of my linux hosts, but thats it. Immediately the backup fails. All I get is “finished with error”. Is there a log somewhere thats a tad more verbose than this?  

What happens if I loose VBR Server?How can I perform the Failover?What option do I have for DR of the VBR Server itself?Thank you!

Hi I use veeam v11 Enterprise plus solution to back-up my environnent. Veeam is installed in all-in-one configuration a local physical server.I bought a google cloud storage in order to get an other copu of my datas on the cloud.I created a SOBR on my backup infrastructure, with a local NAS as performance Tier and GPC bucket as capacity tier with the copy operation.This operation succeeded and i see on GPC administration page a Veeam/Archive folder.Then i created a job to back-up a small folder in order to try it.The job succeeded with a warning regarding to cache serve limited space.In local repository i can find backup files, but on the bucket ther is nothing.I don’t understand why i have no error message but i can’t see backup files on the GPC bucket ?

Hey guys,Can anyone give reasons on why Veeam Backup & Replication is installed on windows and not on linux?

Hi All,please can you share with me requirements and configuration steps to add VBR repository as profile to Kasten. BR,Ali

Hello, Can someone share the main difference of veeam replication and CDP, on where scenario best to use them and other details as well :) thanks

Hi, I’m hoping someone can point me in the correct direction. I have Veeam B&R Community edition server running on my Windows 10 workstation. I do backups of the O/S drive daily and monthly, the user data hourly and monthly and the VM drive daily and monthly.I wanted to have bare-metal recovery but it turns out that Veeam’s bare metal recovery only works if the backups are taken by a Veeam Windows agent implementation. I tried this but because I am already backing data using B&R the agent policy fails.How can I get a bare-metal recovery option?I used to use Windows backup but I keep getting issues with other drives getting flagged as required and that blows out the space required for the Windows backup.Thanks in anticipation.Bob   

Hey All,I’ve tried to get some automation for the backup of my Citrix base images.  I have a script that adds a machine to the backup job based on the name.  Of course, these machines get created and deleted like flies, and I was wanting to automatically remove them if they’ve been removed from vCenter.  I guess I could use tags, but then I’d have to rely on my Citrix admin to use the tags, and if it’s forgotten then there’s no backup, so I’ve decided a script is the way to go. So adding machines to the jobs works wonderfully, but I can’t seem to nail the way to remove the machines that aren’t in vCenter inventory. I also have the auto delete from backups turned on to prune the base images after x days.   Here’s the snippet of powershell causing issues:#Searches the backup job to find any VM that don't have a size associated with the VM and assigns it to the variable  ie. VM is still in the job but the VM is deleted.$NullVM = Get-VBRJobObject -job $Citrixbackupjob | Where-Object -Prope

When backing up o365 data if I am using DAS like windows or linux, does the repository requirements remain same as for veeam backup & replication?

VBO backup server configure in AWS ECS and data will be store in AWS cloud S3 for O365 backup. what is the configuration require for VBO in AWS cloud

We are trying to commission a new Veeam hardened repository for off-site backups (Backup Copy jobs). we have put the server behind internal NAT (i.e. using a private IP not an internet IP) as we feel this will improve the security. Backup jobs work but Backup Copy jobs do not and I am getting the impression that NAT is the problem. The primary repository is trying to communicate with secondary with its ‘real’ IP rather than the NAT IP. Can this be overcome?  

what is the best option to configure O365 backup in veeam? cloud to cloud or first copy on prem and second copy cloud

Hey guys I have a query,If I want to perform an azure SQL backup in veeam backup for azure and I choose staging server to process, what are the things I need to keep in mind when using staging server i.e, how can I add a staging server to veeam backup for azure, which region should the staging server be deployed? and while choosing staging server should I choose credentials of staging server or SQL ?

Hello,I would like to know if we can process the emails sent from Veeam once a day (once the backup window has finished) and ensure we have 2 success emails for each job (one for the main backup job and one for the replication job stating the backup jobs and its status). I would like to get an email daily that will mention all back jobs have been completed and its status (Successful, Warning or Critical). EX. I have 12 jobs and from those 12 jobs I want 2 emails stating those 12 jobs (One for main backup and for the replication) and saying that those jobs have been completed successfully, have warnings or some critical. this is for the backup and replication jobs.job 1 = back successfuly completed  or warning or criticaljob 2 = back successfuly completed or warning or criticaljob 3 = back successfuly completed or warning or criticaljob 4 = back successfuly completed or warning or criticaljob 5 = back successfuly completed or warning or criticaljob 6 = back successfuly completed or warn

The setup is as followsPhysical server Windows 2022 with OS drive (mirrored 500GB) and DATA drive (RAID6 22TB), this server is domain joined and will contain a Windows file share for the site users on the 22TB drive.  The NTFS permissions setup is vital and will use Active Directory Groups.  The current size of shared data is 4TB.Veeam B&R Ver11 server (community) is not domain joined, has about 45TB of SAS attached storageThree backup choices for physical server Backup job, File Share,  Files and Folders, choose the site share to backup nightly, keep all file versions for 12 months My other thought was doing a Backup job, Windows Computer, Server, Entire Computer, Retention policy (only has days) not sure about this as I want more retention but understand the 7 days is about “whole computer” restore, whereas my retention needs are for the share data Go to the physical Windows 2022 server and install the Veeam Windows Agent to get a bare metal restore backup setup and have it be ma

Can anyone tell the difference between Static IP mapping and IP masquerading? Both are trying to access VM in virtual lab, so what is the difference?

Is there a way for teams to automatically remove objects from backups, i.e. team objeckts that could not be found anymore, but also to automatically include objects, with a certain prefix, in backups? Thanks so far!
