Dear Experts, I could not start Veeam. It said that "SQL server is not available". We checked and started all of SQL and Veeam services but it did not help.

Can you please help? many thanks!

Dear Experts
We have recently implemented veeam backup and replication solution, would like to set the best practice backup and retention policy for VM’s and files. Please suggest me to daily backups best way to rotate  and similarly weekly and monthly how many days retention to be set and rotate. please help me with best practice way to configure like first full backup and then daily incremental and weekly and monthy how to set please suggest the best backup policy and set the retention

We currently use Veeam and Veeam Copy Jobs to an Exagrid de-duplicating appliance.  Exagrid automatically sync's our data center backups to our remote office.  To supplement that, and to protect against a ransomware attack, we want cloud air-gapped backups.  We presently use Veeam copy jobs to iLand for that purpose but it's not going well.

We are about to demo CommVault but I figured before doing so, maybe I should take a step back and ask for thoughts on:

CommVault vs. Zert0

The ONLY thing I like about Veeam copy jobs to a cloud provider is the provider's "insider protection" which basically is a cloud based "recycle bin" which even a malicious admin can't touch.

We don't enjoy the overly complex nature of hundreds of  Veeam backup jobs and copy jobs.  It's a nightmare to monitor and maintain.

CommVault sounds much simpler.

I don't know anything about Zert0 other than it offers granular restores to the minute which could be super handy during a ransomware attack (assuming they don't successfully attack our backups).

I suppose the air-gapped-ness depends on the destination provider for both CommVault and Zert0.

Do these solutions typically rely on things like Amazon's Object Lock / Compliance Mode / WORM (write-once-read-many)?

A big requirement is MFA in order to delete backup containers; my nightmare scenario is my laptop getting hijacked and/or my admin credentials getting compromised and ransomware hacker attacking my cloud backups too !!!

Thanks for Help

if anyone has any experience with Veeam backup, I am trying to determine between SQL Server native backup feature and Veeam what is actually backing up the databases. For example does Veeam remove the need to setup a schedule of backups using SQL Server backup features, or typically do the two work together.e .g you configure SQL Server to backup the databases to a local drive, and then configure a Veeam backup to pickup the SQL backups along with any other data in that job?

I am trying to determine if someone says we backup our SQL Servers using Veeam, what exactly do they mean/or what exactly is Veeams role in the process.

Hi all and happy Sysadmin Day!

I have a hyper-v 2012 R2 host. I'm backing up one of the VMs and noticed that Veeam is only backing up the C: VHD disk, it's not backing up the other VHD disk which is H:
what could I look at to determine why it's not backing up the 2nd VHD disk on this VM?

I need to find a way to run a report on Veeam Backups for a restore that may have been done.
Is there a way to do this for say a particular server and for a specific date?
If so, how do I get these results?
We are running Veeam 9.5 4

Dear Experts,

I have a customer who have 7 backup jobs of VMware servers.

What will you do if you were in my shoes?

I have only 18TB capacity to backup from Veeam.

Planning on switching out our backup software from StorageCraft to Veeam.

Question on data centers. SC provides their own datacenter and Veeam doesn't. We already have other services configured with Amazon S3 so it's likely we'll use their services and replicate backups here. Anyone have any other recommendations or data centers they recommend?

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to use Veam Backup and restore to backup from an ESXi server and restore to a Hyper-V system.

Thanks all.

Is there a way with Veeam backup version 9.5 to do a restore from like a time frame range?
ex: Sept - Dec for a certain file
I don't see anyway to do that just wondering if it is possible or not and if so, how can I set that up?

I keep receiving the attached error message in VEEAM:
