Hello, As you may know I have been working for some time with several tools to document or diagram the Veeam Backup & Replica Infrastructure. In the latest version of Veeam.Diagrammer the ability to generate a diagram of the infrastructure has been added. Here is the link:https://techmyth.blog/posts/veeam-diagraming-infra/ Greetings from the Caribbean :)

Since this is modifying the firewall, you might lock yourself out remotely if you are executing the steps incorrectly or you have a slightly different setupIf you are running RHEL or any experimental derivative (in my case Rocky 8.8), you can use firewalld to configure the firewall. Firewalld uses zones in which you can allow ports or services based on the incoming interface or IP sources. By default, all the traffic is “allowed” based on the rules in the public zone (or better the interfaces are by default assigned to the public zone). You can test this with# What is the default zonefirewall-cmd --get-default-zone# What are the active zones, by default only the public zonefirewall-cmd --get-active-zones# List all the rules in the public zone, this is by default ssh cockpit and dhcpv6firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-allYou can howeve

Hello everyone, First of all, I would like to ask my community because I am not fully familiar with Yara rules. When scanning for Malware Detection with Yara rules, can you see which files have Malware in which locations with Yara Rules? When I do a direct Malware scan, if there is malware, it shows the machine under the malware tab but does not give details. What can I do for more details here Hello everyone,

This is me being a bit lazy, so apologize in advance. Does anyone have a script, or know of a VBR type report which retrieves change rate for VMs in a Backup Job? Obviously I know about VONE, but we don’t use that (maybe I can do a temp 30-day trial install...but would like something a bit quicker and temporary). I’ve run into a situation since last wk where 1 or a few VMs in a job have changed the backup rate significantly since last wk, by almost 10-fold, causing me to run out of space not only on this Job Repo, but my storage array! I’m trying to work through it, but would like to know the culprit(s) to let the app owners know to chill! haha There was a couple app VMs with updates, etc since last wk, so I have an idea a little bit of what’s going on. But, I’d like to pinpoint things a bit better.Thank you Community!

With the release of the version 8 of VB 365, some additional permissions are needed on the registred app. Nothing to think about when you’re deploying a new app, but when you’re upgrading, you coudl re-use the existing app and extend it with the new requirements. I’m not a programmer, but I’ve tried to setup a small powershell script that based on your Application ID adds the necessary rights and also adds the app to the Global Reader role.Feel free to check and modify it !

Hi Everyone, I'm sharing the script to collect the latest Malware Detection logs from specific lists of Veeam Backup servers in their default directory as the attachment with the server name at the end.When there is no new malware detection log file generated on the day, then no email will be sent out.You can update the $Servers and the $ParamSendmailMessage accordingly to suit your needs, as well as the CSS styling.$Servers = 'VBR01', 'BACKUP01', 'BKP-SVR', 'VBRSVR02'$LocalIPAddress = (Resolve-DnsName -Name $ENV:COMPUTERNAME | Where-Object { $_.Type -eq 'A' } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty IPAddress) -join ', '$Filter = '*.LOG'$paramSendMailMessage = @{ From = "$ENV:COMPUTERNAME@$env:userdnsdomain" To = 'your.email@veeam.com' Subject = "Malware report summary as of $(Get-Date -Format 'F')" SmtpServer = 'smtp.domain.com' BodyAsHtml = $true Priority = 'High'}$HtmlHead = @"<style> body { font-family: Calibri; }

Could anyone help for the following scenario . [Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupSession]::GetAll() For the above command do we have any commands as the above one not fetching all backup session ids done for particular location.

VBR module unable to fetch complete list of servers(clients) from a backup job. As some physical server backup job ids are not getting populated even it’s taken the backup. 

We have a Veeam AWS Appliance in its own backup account on the latest version, 7.1.08We are backing up more than 200 AWS accounts. I am looking for a Terraform code that, when included in creating a new AWS Account, automatically imports the account to the Veeam appliance. I looked into the Veeam Hub and did not find any. The only Terraform code I found was for deploying the Veeam AWS Appliance.Does anyone have the Terraform code, or is this possible with Veeam AWS Appliance?Thanks,Zahra   

Hello,These last few weeks I have had the time to give some attention to the AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VB365 report. This time a lot of improvements and new sessions were added to collect much more information about the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 infrastructure. Here I provide you with the changes:https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VB365/releases/tag/v0.3.0 Now the reason for writing this post is to share with all of you about a project I have been working on in my spare time and it is about Diagramming the Veeam infrastructure. In this new version of the AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VB365 report I added the ability to create a simple diagram of the deployed VB365 components. This tool uses Graphviz and the PSGraph module to generate the diagram. Here is the main link where you can see how to use the report:https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VB365In this link you can find the code I use to generate the diagram!https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuiltReport.Veea

Hi Community,after Rick's announcement (thanks for the initiative), I couldn't resist creating another script for the community.As documented, you can add one YARA rule file to the scan process. But what if you want to use multiple YARA rules? Of course you could work with a so-called index file, which refers to the individual YARA rules, but this brings a problem with it, because the YARA rules are stored on the VBR server, but the scan process provides the backups on the mount server and only one YARA rule can be used (This is a topic for another blog post - stay tuned).  What if we would like to use all YARA rules from Rick's Top 10 Ransomware Threats  blog post for a scan? And we don’t want to click so many times in the UI? This Powershell script can help. You can select all YARA rules, only selected YARA rules or all YARA rules if no selection has been made after 30 seconds. The script needs the backup job name and the hostname which has to be scanned. .\vbr-scan-backups.ps1 -Jobn

This collection of PowerShell scripts can be used to retrieve Veeam backup usage for VMware Cloud Director (VCD) backup jobs and is now available on VeeamHub! Below is a brief description of its functionality. For more detailed information, please follow the VeeamHub link.In this collection, you’ll find 3 scripts:Sync-VcdOrganizationMapping.ps1: Automated mapping of a VCD Organization Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC) Company Set-HostedVbrJobAssignment.ps1: Assigns VCD backup jobs to a VSPC Company Get-VspcHostedUsage.ps1: Generates usage reportIn the usage report, the following is provided for each VSPC Company:Total number of protected VMs in backups Total number of licensed VMs in backups Licensed matches Veeam rental licensing policy which is workloads protected within the current calendar month Total amount of space used in backups (Optional) Detailed usage at the VM-levelNOTE: This collection uses functionality added in Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1 and Veeam Service

Deprecated: This script will not work with Veeam Backup & Replication v12. For v12 support, please use the VSPC-HostedUsage scripts. The PowerShell script to retrieve Veeam backup usage for VMware Cloud Director (VCD) Organizations is now available on VeeamHub! Below is a brief description of its functionality. For more detailed information, please follow the VeeamHub link.For each organization, the following is provided:Total number of VMs in backups Total amount of space used in repositoriesThe usage data can be aggregated on the Organization-level or the Org VDC-level. This is useful when backups for different Org VDCs are billed differently.The scope of the usage returned is also customizable. It can be limited to self-service backups, created by the Veeam Self-Service Portal (VSSP) for VCD, or it can also include backups created directly on the backup server by the provider.NOTE: Before using this script in a production environment, I recommend you verify that numbers match up

Hi All, I recently migrated some replicated VM’s on our VMWare infrastructure to a new DVSwitch and updated VLAN names, so I had to update all the Veeam replication jobs, when i tried to automate this using the Veeam powershell library I got the following error on 95% of the jobs. I did a little investigation but didnt manage to figure out what the difference was between all the failed jobs and the 3 that successfully updated. Has anyone ever seen this error message before ? Set-VBRViReplicaJob : Broker service has not started hierarchy collection for host xxxxx Here is a simplified version of the script i was using:# get all replication jobs$jobs = Get-VBRJob | Where-Object TypeToString -eq "VMware Replication"foreach ($job in $jobs) { $jobOptions = Get-VBRJobOptions -Job $job # get list of network objects on new target dvswitch $destSwitchNets = Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo -Server "<server with new dv switch>" | Where-Object SwitchName -eq "NEW SWITCH" # build array

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

Hello,With some people help me, I have this "script" to get all differents malwares detections based on date + VM name + Path.This is usefull to avoid read several files. $Path = "C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\Malware_Detection_Logs\"$Files = (Get-ChildItem -Path $Path).FullNameSelect-String -Path $Files -Pattern '^\[(?<Date>[^\]]+).+\s(?<VM>[^:]+):.+?:(?<File>.+)' -AllMatches | ForEach-Object { $match = $_.Matches[0] [PSCustomObject]@{ Date = $match.Groups['Date'].Value VM = $match.Groups['VM'].Value File = $match.Groups['File'].Value } } | Sort-Object VM, File -Unique 

Hi, everyone!   I have a PowerShell script that I use to retrieve some information about the daily backup sessions.  It works well, but I was trying to transition it from the Get-VBR-Job command to the Get-VBRBackup command.  Everything works but the newer script is very slow;  it went from a few seconds with the old script to 5-10 minutes with the new.  I was wondering if anyone could give me pointers on a more efficient way to get the session information or otherwise speed it up. Thanks in advance!!RobbOriginal script#backup JobsForeach ($JobObject in Get-VBRJob){ #write-host "loop number ${$jobobject.indexof()}" $session=$jobobject.FindLastSession() if (!($JobObject.JobType -eq "BackupSync")) { $JobOutput = New-Object -TypeName PSObject if (((get-date).AddDays(-1) -lt $session.Progress.StopTimeLocal) -or ($session.Result -in "Failed","None")) { $JobOutput | Add-Member -Name "Job Name" -MemberType Noteproperty -Value $JobObject.Name $JobOutput | Add-Membe

Hello Community! Recently several changes were added to the AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR script that allow to improve the documentation process of Veeam B&R infrastructure. On this occasion, several bugs were fixed and a new feature was added to generate a diagram of the implemented components in the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure. Here are the new changes:https://techmyth.blog/posts/abr-veeam-vbr-0_8_6/ In addition I provide the following links so that you can see the sample report and an example of the infrastructure diagram. Sample ReportInfrastructure Diagram: Hasta la proxima! 😎  

Forgive me, as this isn’t strictly a Veeam topic, but I’m pulling my hair out.I’m trying to enhance a Windows Update Powershell script. The current script occasionally hangs when we invoke a COM CreateUpdateSearcher() method.$updateSession = new-object -com "Microsoft.Update.Session"$Criteria = "IsInstalled=0"$updates = $updateSession.CreateupdateSearcher().Search($criteria).UpdatesThis runs synchronously, so I can’t trap the hang. Instead, I want to use the BeginSearch() method that runs asynch (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wuapi/nf-wuapi-iupdatesearcher-beginsearch). My problem is it requires an ‘IUnknown ISearchCompletedCallback’ object to be passed as one of the parameters. I don’t need this to be invoked, so it can be an empty object, but I can’t work out how to create an empty IUnknown object.$UpdateSession = New-Object -ComObject "Microsoft.Update.Session"$objSearcher = $UpdateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher()$objSearch = $objSearcher.BeginSearch('IsInstalled

IntroFirst of all: Happy new year to everyone!With Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1, many new security features have been added. One of these is the Guest Index Data Scan. For this, Veeam Backup & Replication uses a signature-based approach. During/after the backup job, the following malware activity can be detected:- Malware signatures specified in the "C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\SuspiciousFiles.xml" on the backup server- Multiple files renamed by malware- Multiple files deleted by malwarePlease read the Help Center documentation  to learn more about the details and how it works.In addition to the XML file, manual customization is also possible. You can add a malware signature that is marked as suspicious (Suspicious files) or that should be skipped (Trusted files) during the scan. See here. Questions you might askBut how do you know how many "built-in" and how many manually entered entries there are? Of course you can check the manual settings in the

Hi Folks,Following on from the news regarding a backdoor in the Linux library xz, a Yara Rule is now available that can be used in Veeam 12.1 if you do not utilise a vulnerability scanner in your environment. Great way to check by leveraging Veeam to do the scanning for you. There is more info about the vulnerability on the post by @JMeixner :Yara Rule can be found here: https://github.com/Neo23x0/signature-base/blob/master/yara/bkdr_xz_util_cve_2024_3094.yar 

Hi Community team! I have a doubt regarding the availability of VDC 365 Data Residency in Brazil's South Azure Region. I didn´t find this information in the documentation.The service´s docs state that backup data created by Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 or Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft Azure can be targeted to and reside in any Azure region as end users request. Metadata is encrypted and stored in one of the following Azure regions: United States West. United Kingdom South, or Australia East.Do you know if storing the backups in Brazil's South Region in an LRS redundancy schema is possible?Choose the Right Azure Region for You | Microsoft AzureThanks so much for your help!
