Hello community,you probably know my many scripts on the subject of backup data scanning? I am happy to share with you what I am currently working on.Secure Restore / Scan BackupCurrently "only" Microsoft Windows machines can be scanned using Secure Restore or Scan Backup (see here). However the Disk Publishing (Data Integration API) allows us to publish a disk from different types of backups to a Windows or Linux host. The disk can have a Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix or other file system. On top Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1 gives us many more options for scanning backup data. For example we now also can mark restore points as clean, suspicious or infected using a PowerShell cmdlet. What if i were to extend one of my scripts with this function? Said and done!New Script - New FeaturesThe new script presents all existing restore points from a Linux VM, Windows VM or Agent backup to a Linux host, scans the specified restore point and marks the selected restore point as infected
Hello Community,imagine you no longer have access to your most important Exchange Online mailboxes? Or you want to perform some checks, but you don't want to touch the productive mailboxes and your production Microsoft 365 tenant? What if a script and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 could help you?Down below is a simple recipe.IngredientsVeeam Backup for Microsoft 365 An Exchange Online backup job protecting the mailboxes A second Microsoft 365 tenant with already configured (target) mailboxes A configured Azure AD application in the second Microsoft 365 tenant A CSV file with the mailboxes to be copiedThe script with all information can be downloaded here: ScriptIf the destination mailbox is empty, all objects are restored. If the objects already exist, only missing objects will be restored.Please share what else could be achieved using this script.
A long time ago, my colleague @StefanZi had provided a Powershell script to create the necessary Azure/Entra appplicaton to be used in Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. In the meantime, new permission requirements have been added to this application and the Powershell cmdlet AzureAD will also be retired next year (see here), and one of my Powershell scripts also requires the automated creation of an application in Azure/Entra.These were enough reasons for me to update the script. So what's new?- Use of the Microsoft Graph Powershell Module- Revise and add permissions- Adaptations to the text (e.g. adapted product name)- Optimize outputAnd the good news are. Script is ready to use. More details in my GitHub repository here.Enjoy!Steve
Hallo zusammen,eine Möglichkeit, sich wieder physisch zu treffen (Nein, ich werde nicht dabei sein). Die Veranstaltung findet im sektor11 and der Siewerdtstrasse 71 in Zürich statt. Die Agenda sowie die Anmeldung zum Event hier! Steve
Sometimes my customers ask for a more detailed capcity report regarding the stored Exchange Online backup data. Currently you only get the consumed capacity per repository and per organization. But how about calculating an average value from the stored backup data divided by the number of protected mailboxes?I wanted to hit two birds with one stone: Write a new script covering this topic and start to switch my existing scripts to modern authentication. Here you are: https://github.com/yetanothermightytool/powershell/tree/master/vbo/vb365-exo-usage-reportSoon I will publish a how-to guide with step by step instructions on how to create/update scripts using the modern authentication approach. Stay tuned. Happy weekend! Steve
IntroYou know the stories: Sometimes an incorrect keyboard layout can lead to incorrect entries. Or while coding, , you must make sure that you use the correct special characters such as ' or ", etc. But let's focus on the main topic - Veeam ONE AlertsVeeam ONE Alert - Suspicious incremental backup sizeYou probably know this Veeam ONE Alert: Veeam ONE Alert - Suspicious incremental backup size. What many may not know is that you can configure Veeam ONE to perform remediation actions when alerts are triggered. These actions can be performed automatically or after manual approval.Veeam ONE offers the following types of remediation for alarms:Predefined actions that are configured for the most commonly used out-of-the-box alarms. Custom scripts that you can specify in the settings of any alarm. For each severity level, Veeam ONE can run one or more custom scripts.For the Suspicious incremental backup size alert we do have a predefined action available: Predefined RemediationA SureBackup
Good Monday everyone! Another week, another script 😉 This time for the Veeam file share backup jobs.IntroAlso last Friday another script was ready for release, but I didn't want to "interrupt" the World Backup Day celebrations with a dull script ;) And my last script also caused quite some buzz in our backup world:vbr-job-scanner-ps1And I promised that more will come... The scriptIn my GitHub repository you can find a script that checks if a unexpectedly high number of files have been backed up via file share backup compared to the last times. There are two versions of this script:vbr-nasjob-scanner.ps1 - For manual checks vbr-nasjob-scanner-post-script.ps1 - For use in the Backup Job as a post-script Details and instructions on the readme page.Feedback welcome!
Hallo VUG Switzerland,Sommer, Sonne, Scanning! Um wieder ein bisschen Aktivität in diese Gruppe zu bringen, möchte ich gerne ein wenig Werbung für diesen Post machen. Eine Veeam100 Online Session is gelant. Stay tuned!Cheers,Steve
