Hi,

I use Veeam B&R Standard Edition and switched to a Disaster Recovery box while I work on the production host.  I re-added all the VMs from the DR host but now the replication job (and backup for that matter) says I don't have enough licenses.  

How do I point it to the new DR box?

Thanks!

I have a physical server - an older Dell running Server 2012 R2 - and it's my backup server AND my share for my marketing department.

I've been asked to P2V the physical and I don't want to.  :)  Here's why and I'd like discussion on pros and cons.  I know, it's difficult to give points to one person for a discussion because so much is subjective, but I do like feedback from others before making such a decision.

1.  I think all backups servers "should" be physical if possible.  I'm old school like that.  Veeam feels that way too.  See item 4 below.
2.  There is a direct connection from the physical box to a QNAP via iSCSI and the QNAP is my primary storage.  I know ESX will do a pass thru, but man, that seems messy.  
3.  There is an HBA (6gig SAS connection) to an iScaler tape library with two LTO drives and 25 tapes in it that is used for offloading the backups to tape.
4.  Veeam BU and Replication is on the marketing server and it's configured perfectly.  All servers (24 in all) replicate to other ESX hosts, then they get a backup to the QNAP and THEN, all of that is off loaded to the tape library via and HBA (6gig SAS) connection to the tape library.  Soon, I'll be offloading everything to an AWS Snowball for storage in an AWS bucket.
5.  There are other things that I can't think of but I'm sure there's more.

So, let's talk...should I try to make that physical server into a VM and move\passthru all of those connections or should I just move the marketing …

I'm looking for the best tape backup devices that plugs directly into an RJ45 network and that can be used with backup programs such as Veeam, Backup Exec, and Microsoft Data Protection Manager (DPM) that can backup Server 2016 and VMware networks.

I'm looking for a self-contained tape backup device that doesn't need to be connected to a server using a SCSI, USB or other method and that plugs directly into an RJ 45 network with a network cable. I'm also looking for a single tape backup device since I will be able to manually swap out the tapes as needed.

I have a unique small business network that requires that tapes be used to store the backups.

What are the best tape backup devices that can do this? We are more than willing to purchase used tape backup devices.

Dear Wizards, one of my SAN volume has only 800 GB left and I'm afraid it is not enough until the end of this year. On that volume, we have 3 VMs with total 9 TB in data size and it is growing everyday (Mail Exchange server)

Is this enough for Veeam to create Snapshot? since I saw the notifications of SAN storage this morning.

One more thing, can you please suggest the model of SAN expansion? or something else that we can use to increase the SAN storage?

Environment:
- Vsphere 6.5
- Veeam 9.5
- SAN Storage HPE MSA2040

HI Experts

just a question

some vendors dose not let you get the certificate even if you pass the exam without attend their training

for example  Vmware  so even you pass VCP exam you are not VCP certified till you attend the training

my question

what about


Citrix  -- Veeam  - Microsoft  - SAP

if anyone knows kindly update me

Hello Board

We currently have an issue that i don't get resolved since 3 Weeks.
Enviroment:

Physical Server
HPE DL380 Gen10 with 1x 2-port 10Gbe-HPE562SFP+ and 1x 2-port 10Gbe-HPE562FLRSFP+ attached via compatible HPE DAC Cable to a switch
OS: Windows Server 2016 Std
Software: Veeam Backup and Replication 9.5
Network Configuration: 1x LACP Windows-Team (1 Member of each networkcard-port) with management network, 1x LACP x LACP Windows-Team (1 Member of each networkcard-port) with storage network. All interfaces have jumboframes configured

Storage Array:
HPE Nimble Storage
Network Configuration: 2x 10Gbe Port with storage network configured

Issue:
During backup the nimble array creates a storage snapshot of the volumes that have to be backuped. Veeam then copies the storage-snapshot-data to the local repository. During backup-copy from a particular storage-snapshot we do have a ton of the following windows events:

• Target sent an iSCSI PDU with an invalid opcode. Dump data contains the entire iSCSI header. - Error - EventID 24

• The initiator could not send an iSCSI PDU. Error status is given in the dump data. - Error - EventID 7

• The initiator could not send an iSCSI PDU. Error status is given in the dump data. -Warning - Event ID 153 --> i assume this happens because of the iscsi lost

What have been done so far:

Checked Jumbo Frames

We're trying to set up a veeam proxy server/rep jobs for a new client. Due to an overlapping network between an existing client and the new client, we have their firebox translate the network to .30 when coming back and forth. This translation works in veeam (their servers show up), we can ping and pull up their drive shares from our side. The only place it's not working is when veeam goes across using the proxy server and tries to talk to the host at .30.250. We get the following error when starting the job using the proxy server...

Processing FS1 Error: Cannot get service content. Soap fault. TimeoutDetail: 'connect failed in tcp_connect()', endpoint: 'https://xxx.xxx.30.250:443/sdk' SOAP connection is not available. Connection ID: [xxx.xxx.30.250]. Failed to create NFC download stream. NFC path: [nfc://conn:xxx.xxx.30.250,nfchost:ha-host,stg:582f26be-c7f9cf95-50d7-2880231c4740@FS1/FS1.vmx].

We already tried editing the host file by adding the .30 address to it. Didn't help though. So my thinking is, can we add another nic card to the host, give it the .30 network and have it function along side the existing network? Will it work the way i want it to work? Is there something else we can try?

I get why veeam is holding onto the .30 address but there has to be some way around overlapping networks like this. I'm sure we're not the first company to run into this scenario.

Please let me know if you need additional info or logs. Thank you in advance.

Hello,

any idea if I can use Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows - Server license, to backup Hyper-V and 2 VM, installed on Hyper-V?
I am asking this because I want application aware backup in VM to be done.

Or is that too much for him, and I should deploy 3 agents, 1 in each VM and host? Buying full Veeam B&R server, for this is not an option :)

Regards,
Ivan.

I am using Veeam 9.5 and a Quantum iScaler i40.  I was wondering if anyone had connected one of those to a Veeam server and if yes, how?

I can get Veeam to "see" the drives in the iScaler, but not the iScaler itself.  Veeam can "see" the drives, but when I try to inventory a tape, I get an I/O error.  I'm thinking I need to load up the iScaler itself, rather than the drives.

Anyone work with these at all?

Thanks

Dear All


              i have a issue when trying to restore from tape from veeam, when i choose a restore point from backup tape, i received below "there is not enough space for backup files", any help would be appreciated, thanks

 

 

Hi'
Anyone knows this: I have installed "Veeam backup and replication free" (or is it called VeeamZip don't know) and I trying to figure out the difference between pressing the what seems a manual backup: button "VeeamZIP" and what seems fully schedulable backup "VM and File Copy".
I need my backups to be scheduled and I read of a script for that but if "VM and File Copy" is a real backup and it already comes with a build-in scheduling melanism: then I would use this.
tx!

We are using VEEAM Backup & Replication v9 to backup 2 X Windows server 2012r2 VMs on our VMWare 5.5 host.  The backup job has been running without a hitch for more than a year.  Over the last few days, the backup has been failing because one of the machines cannot be quiesced.  Checking the event logs on the VM shows a few errors as follows

Event ID 50:NTFS
Delayed Write Failed} Windows was unable to save all the data for the file . The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

Event ID 157:Disk
Disk 1 has been surprise removed.

Event ID 137:NTFS
The default transaction resource manager on volume \\?\Volume{0b861d7d-97fe-11e8-8117-000c29d9844f} encountered a non-retryable error and could not start.  The data contains the error code.

Event ID 58:Partmgr
The disk signature of disk 1 is equal to the disk signature of disk 0.


I have researched these errors and various sites and links have led me to look at the VSS writers, of which WIDSriter is in a non-retryable error state.  I have stopped relevant services, re-registered the writers and rebooted.  When I do this, WIDWriter is in a running state but after the next VEEAM backup attempt it reverts back to failed and the backup does not complete.

There is no Disk 1 attached to the machine so I can only surmise that this is being created on the fly during the Shadow Copy.

Any suggestions as to how to …
