Solved

hi team,hope everyone’s ok. just wanted to ask and get some ideas/suggestions regarding retention policy on a backup copy job.first of all, i have on-site a Qnap for local backups and on a remote site another one for copy jobs. local backups have their own retention policy while on remote i have different ones.from my understanding, backup copy works with forever forward incremental backups and when the retention policy kicks in, i get a full backup of the backup job.so my question is: shall i add on the retention policy i have set on each backup copy job the “keep certain full backups longer for archival purposes” with a different duration?many thanks

Good day Community -With Linux being more prevalant in environments, including Veeam supporting Linux within its deployment components, it is a bit cumbersome to manage all these devices individually. So my question for the Community today is → what centralized management tool(s) do you use to manage your Linux server footprint?..to update, push scripts, monitor, etc? I’m needing to update & even push a script (change) out to our Linux servers and don’t want to touch all of them individually. Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated.I did a little bit of searching before posting and saw a tool called Landscape which looks promising, but don’t know anything about it & open to hear anyone’s experience with it...or again..any tool. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am looking for a method or script to run backup jobs on a custom schedule.The built-in scheduler seems very basic, and as a result, I have to run all jobs as incremental and then manually trigger a full every two weeks.I have searched the veeam scripts and forum, could not find an solution.so does anyone have a script or technique to run backups on a custom schedule?perhaps using windows task scheduler, powershell, python or any such way?Thanks much,David

I want one Tape full backup per month, do I need to configure the Media Pool for Incremental Backups?

Hi Team,Do we have any mechanism in VBR to transport all logs to external Syslog Servers?  I do understand we save most of the logs on Installer folder but my requirement is to automatically transport all the logs to external syslog server.Regards,Sunny 

Hi everyone, greetings…I am not sure the math behind for this settings I seen the default is Forwards Incrementals with Weekly FullsSo mean Mon-Sat incremental x6, Sun full x1Daily 30 which keeps 26 incremental, 4 fullMonthly 3 which keeps 3 fullYearly 3 which keeps 3 full For full I think it’s related to ReFS, but not sure how it become 9.92TBFor incremental backup I calculated as 30TB *5% *30days *50% = 22.5TB (somewhat different)Weekly 0 because GFS set 0Monthly 3 copies = (30 + 30.25 + 30.5) * 50% reduction = 45.375 TB if w/o ReFS (but I tested it is 39.24TB if w/o ReFS in sizer) - I tried it by index 30+30.24+30.48 *50% = 45.36TB also different Btw, what are the ReFS ~50% compression comes from? any docs for that? And lastly for yearly (30+33+36.3)*50% reduction = 49.65TB w/o ReFS (very close to calculator this time but not exactly) And why the ReFS does not significant in yearly ?Turning on /off does not affect the yearly sizing much If ReFS turned off

Anyone using Veeam Enterprise Manager have issues with the API URL?  We use a custom built tool that connects to VEM (VBR behind the scene) and provisions customers for our VCC.  I have one server that cannot get to the API for some reason and shows the below connection reset message.I have upgraded the VEM to the latest patch from July and ensure everything with FW, etc. is configured correctly.  Any suggestions appreciated.Veeam Enterprise Manager API URL - Connection Reset Message 

Hi everyone,I am thinking of a design like that A tape library with x3 FC drives (say XYZ), connected to SAN switches Then the SAN switches connecting to 4 servers (say ABCD)Normally, the tape drives are backup up servers ABCWhich mean drive X-A, drive Y-B, driveZ-CWhen one of the servers down, (say B), server D will take up the role become X-A, Y-D, Z-Cwill it work and if Veeam support setting like that?

By default k10 can not see the restore point when user delete the namespace unexpected directly.Kasten should retain the namespace info. Otherwise user should create the namespace firstly before restore appications from export data. # What do you expect k10 should do?Even user delete the namespace directly, k10 can still see the applications restore points. # Your Kubernetes Versionv1.21.12 # k10 version in your environmentversion 4.5.14 # CSI infoceph-csi rbdplugin # What's your Location Profiles3 compatible (minio)

I have on the VBR a copy job, a backup copy job to a hardened repository and a tape job. Now for VBM the customer also wants the data to be copied on the primary repository, then a copy on the hardened repository and finally on tape, how can I configure this?

ciao, io sono sempre stato molto a favore dell’uso delle tags vSphere per selezionare le VM che vengono salvate dai Job.Quindi cerco di portare i miei clienti da quella parte.Ne ho uno dove si è formata una corrente di pensiero che non ama questa procedura perché “si rischia di dimenticare” e vorrebbe fare dei job che catturino tutto un cluster (ad esempio)Considerato che parliamo di una infrastruttura da centinaia/migliaia di VM la cosa non mi piace per niente. Quali argomentazioni usereste per sconsigliare questo? Io ho pensatoun job con centinaia di VM tutte diverse (s.o., applicativi) diventa complesso da gestire nella parte di guest processing un solo job ha un solo repository un job molto grande diventa complicato da gestire nelle backup copy un job solo ha una sola schedulazione possibile un job solo ha una sola politica di retentionaltre idee? grazie!

Hi, I would like to know that can we directly restore from tape for VM backup with HPE Store as disk storage Thank you

Hello everyone. I’ve been beating on this for a week and have finally given in to post a question here. I have the plug-in installed and it works great. Very easy to setup, and it just works.The problem comes where I am not very familiar with MS SQL. I would like to get email notifications for the database backups. It appears that this needs to be configured within SQL Server Management Studio. I have database mail setup and it can send test messages, but I can’t seem to get the SQL agent job for the database backup to kick out an email when it completes.Has anyone attempted to get this working who can provide me with some information?Thanks,Joe

HelloIm looking for an openshift backup solution and would like to have details about kind of objects can be backed up with Veeam\Kasten.I guess that backup of Deployments, DeploymentConfigs, StatefulSets and VMs is a “must” so what about ability to restore, if necessary, a simple secret, service-account… Can we do that?Another topic, it is possible to create a SLA selecting as source of data an specific project? Where can I find out detailed product features?Best Regards

Hi all, last week I deployed a new storage array.  I’ve migrated all production VM’s as well as replica’s that resided on the datastores, except for CDP replica’s.  I cannot for the life of me figure out how to migrate the CDP replica’s and update the CDP policy to point to the new datastores. Storage vMotion inexplicably gets cancelled by a user later on - assuming that’s VBR even though I currently have the policy disabled.  That said, I can’t modify the specified datastore below as well - all is disabled.  I thought I might clone the policy, but it looks like CDP policies can’t be cloned like backup and copy jobs - not a big deal but also caught me off-guard.So am I missing something, or do I need to recreate the policy and restart replication from scratch?

if I have a backup job with GFS, and then the job is saved in a backup copy job, will the GPS backup also be taken over or do I also have to set GFS in the backup copy job?

HI guys,I am using Veeam Community edition 12 in my home environment. Thinking about getting Wasabi bucket with immutable space. Found that Veeam is supporting Wasabi as from this article https://knowledgebase.wasabi.com/hc/en-us/articles/11914197710747 . Is support included for Wasabi in Community Edition? How will Backup work? In my case my servers are at home on a proxmox host. My home and a remote data center is connected via wireguard. In that data center I have a linux machine which I want to back up to Wasabi ( currently pulled to local repository at home) . How does the data flow? Directly from datacenters Linux server to wasabi, or first down to my veeam server at home? Thanks
