Can we use Azure Blob Cold Tier (not cool) for VBO repository?

Had a system go down it is backed up with Veeam however I need to ensure that the last backup is not deleted automatically. I inherited this system recently and have not had time to explore it. I am waiting on my support purchase to go through to get assistance but this is critical that I don’t loose this back up file. I found the option to export it and did that. But how to I tell Veeam not to delete it? This seems like it should be a simple Right click mark as don’t delete. Am I missing something. Any help appreciated. 

I am trying to figure out how to use Veeam Community edition from the DOS commandline. The application mentioned in https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agentforlinux/userguide/backup_job_start_cmd.html?ver=60, so veeamconfig job start --name <job_name>, is however absent on my system.Is this a Community edition limitation?

I am trying to understand how to deploy Veeam Backup and Replication in 2 DC’s hosting with VMware Virtual Infra in an active-active environment. Scenario VMs being replicated from DC1 → DC2 and DC2 → DC1 both requiring near-zero and CDP. Number of replicated VMs in each DC is between 20-30 and data size is 6-10TB with average change rate.My thoughts:Deploy a VBR + Backup repo instance in each DC. Deploy backup proxy each in DC1 and DC2. This pair will be managed by the VBR in DC2 and used for near-zero replication Deploy backup proxy each in DC1 and DC2. This pair will be managed by the VBR in DC2 and used for CDP Deploy backup proxy each in DC1 and DC2. This pair will be managed by the VBR in DC1 and used for near-zero replication Deploy backup proxy each in DC1 and DC2. This pair will be managed by the VBR in DC1 and used for CDP Kindly provide your comments or suggestions. The Veeam documentation for a two way DR are not very clear. Can someone also provide links to any clear docum

I need to deploy a Veeam Repo server, windows based using 20TB HDD (12 X 20TB, RAID6). Would there be a huge impact on backup windows when using this configuration? Are there any limitations or compatibility matrix on what type of disk size or type can be used for a repo server?

I was wondering if there is a way to use PowerShell to determine if a machine in a protection group has not backed up in the last 30 days. Obviously in Inventory there are protection groups that have machines in them and a status of “Last Agent Backup”. Is it possible to generate a report that displays that information? Basically I would like to put the script into task scheduler and have it run the 2nd and the 24th of every month. Any advice? # Load Veeam PowerShell ModuleImport-Module Veeam.Backup.PowerShell# Define protection group names$protectionGroupNames = @("Example Protection Group", "Example Protection Group 2")# Get the current date and time window$timeWindow = (Get-Date).AddDays(-30)# Initialize array to store report data$reportData = @()foreach ($groupName in $protectionGroupNames) { # Get the protection group $protectionGroup = Get-VBRProtectionGroup -Name $groupName # Get details of the machines in the protection group $machines = Get-VBRDiscoveredComputer -P

I am writing to request a new feature for Veeam Backup & Replication that would significantly enhance its robustness and reliability in disaster recovery scenarios.Currently, we are using Veeam Backup & Replication for our backup and disaster recovery needs across multiple sites. While we are very satisfied with the overall performance and capabilities of Veeam, there is one crucial feature that we believe would greatly benefit your product.Feature Request: Backup Server FailoverWe would like to request the implementation of a backup server failover capability similar to what is available in CommVault. This feature would allow seamless failover of the backup server itself to a secondary site in the event of a primary site failure. Specifically, the feature should include:Automated Failover of Backup Server: Automatic detection and failover of the backup server to a pre-configured standby server in the DR site. Replication of Configuration and Metadata: Continuous replication of

Is anybody using Cortex XDR along with Veeam? It should be fairly easy to extend the Antivirus definition file, but I can’t find any information about how (or even if) Cortex can be called to scan a specific file.

Hi all…. greetings...I am thinking about immutable repo will affect repo sizing or not…In general cases, immutable for 14d or 30d, which is just a part of the retention policy (say 30D 4W 3M 3Y), storage size is just the same no matter when the immutable is on or offAlso, in real sizing task, we usually reserve spaces for annual growthSome occupation on storage spaces will be absorbed by the buffer... What about in extreme scenario, large backup sources and no. of VMs, large delta change, and long immutable period say 3years. Will the sizing different between immutable on and off?

been doing backups of our vcenter vms to disk for some time now.  just tried out the application aware processing and several VMs reported erros like “cannot find linux guest credentials” or “unbale to perform guest file system indexing”.am I right to think this means the VM was not backup up to disk, and I need to turn off applicaiton aware processing until I have correct credentials on those VMs?

Hi, I have a Windows 2022 Server with Hyper-V installed and running several Windows VM’s.  I think under B&R, there are two types of backups I can do for these Windows VM’s.  I can install Agent on them and treat them as standalone machines or back them up under Hyper-V.   Would anyone know the pros and cons of each method?  And is there a recommended method?thank you!

buongiorno, con un cliente che ha un File Backup Job con un target secondariohttps://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/file_share_backup_job_secondary_target.html?ver=120quando lancia il job compare una domanda “vuoi lanciare anche i job concatenati?” Che si risponda sì o no, parte comunque nello stesso momento anche il job di copia, che si chiama “nomejob (copy)”.Questo job di copia fallisce dicendo che i file sono locked dal job principale.Come si può ovviare a questo? E’ normale? Sbagliamo qualcosa?
