I mean, why not? New server OS, and the first thing to go on there is Veeam? Let’s do it.Long story short, it was plain sailing and Veeam B&R installed successfully.Confimation screen of Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1 being installed successfully Veeam B&R Console with no jobs configuredUsual caveats apply if you are going to be testing it

Steps to connect to Synology NAS remotely with Tailscale

For those looking to set up a straightforward and easily configurable VPN solution for remote access to your NAS or PCs, here's a comprehensive guide on deploying Tailscale, which leverages WireGuard for secure and efficient networking with minimal configuration. Below are some interesting articles on this topic by Luis. Below is an image showing the various prices available on their website. The personal offer is more than suitable as it offers up to 100 device connections without any associated cost.Run Tailscale on DS923+ Synology NASTo do this, navigate to the Synology Package Center and search for the Tailscale App as shown below.Click on install Tailscale is installed and running.Note: When connected via QuickConnect, the Tailscale package is not accessible.

Postgres WAL Backup when Postgres is not in default location

hi allwe try here to create for our Postgres Servers to create a backup job with the Veeam for Postgres WAL Feature, so the agentless Version, of storing the WAL Files in a Backup. But i get it not to work. I see bulent his video, i look that i make all Documentation Settings in our Postgres Instances, but it will not work. But we have one great difference. We dont use the linux standard installation of postgres. so no /etc/postgres is there. we use a automated installation of postgres with ansible, but in different directories. example. the software itself is in /u01/app/postgres/product. the data dir is in /u02/pgdata/instancename, and the archive dir is in /u03/pgdata/archive/instancename. so i am not sure, how i can say in veeam to look in that locations for the WAL Files. the only info we have in /etc is the /etc/pgtab. did anyone know how to get Postgres WAL Backup running with a non standard postgresql installation?regards franco

Adding a server as vmware Proxy error: Transport service is unavailable

Hi everyone,I have 2 servers with VBR and I’m trying to connect one of those as a backup proxy of the other, so i can manage backups from a single backup server and disable the other one. adding the server as general purpose and CDP proxy works just fine but when I try to add it as vmware proxy it shows me an error message “Transport service is unavailable”. I checked, the service is online and correctly listens on the default port (matter of fact it works as general purpose and cdp proxy, as stated above). The server runs on the very esxi host I’m trying to backup, same hypervisor this server backups daily with no trouble. I updated and rebooted the server with no success. I cannot understand the problem. Can it be because they are slightly different versions?The server that has the problem is version 12.1.1.56 while the server I’m trying configure the proxy in has version 12.1.0.2131. Never encountered this, please help, I read some documentation and the system requirements are fine.

Is there a smaller VBR update file and smoother VBR update process ?

It seems that every VBR update requires to download the whole VBR software of over 4GB ?Then it is an ISO, but what I usually do is mount the ISO then copy out to like c:\VBR_12.227 (example of the version) then run the update from the folder. But is there also a smoother update process as I have to update the Veeam Enterprise Manager, then the VBR server itself and then probably need to like rescan the vCenter, edit WAN accelerator, edit Veeam Virtual Labs, edit storage repositories, edit the unstructured data file shares etc then it would start to update the individual items when I click finish.

After restoring, Veeam B&R CE can´t install Agent on Server

Due to some issues with the PostGre SQL database of Veeam B&R CE, I had to uninstall and reinstall Veeam B&R CE. After sucessful installation, I imported the configuration Backup file. Everything worked fine, I had all my Backup Jobs, my Backup Infrastructure and my Physical Infrastcture restored. I was very happy that everything could be restored so easily. But the next day I had some failed Backup jobs in the History. Two servers (no VMs) couldn´t be backuped because of a strange error message:Warning Failed to connect to XXXXXXXX Details: Cannot find package version for component EpAgent package Msi platform X64. OK, it looks like Veeam B&R had some issues to connect with the Agent on this servers. So I uninstalled the Agent on the Server and tried to install the Agent via B&R once again.But it always failed. Veeam B&R can´t install the agent because it can´t find the “EpAgent package Msi platform X64”. It´s no issue from the server I want to backup, because a di

Magic ports port-mapping tool

Hi everyone,I’ve recently put together a new app called ‘Magic Ports’, you can find it on the front page of the Veeam Architects site: https://www.veeambp.com/This is the first version which is a little rough but functional, the main aim was to get feedback from the community to aid in the direction of the app. For example, I am already considering changing the ‘cards’ to a table on the main screen to save on-screen real estate.I am also looking into adding mermaid diagram outputs which can be loaded into things like draw.io. Comments on these features and anything else would be welcome. All the code is freely available via the GitHub repos listed on the app and again we encourage you to have a look and make suggestions by raising ‘issues’ or even contributing to the projects.I am a firm believer in putting ideas out there so the community can guide the direction and I feel that this tool or at least the idea behind this tool will ultimately help create something the whole community ca

Network path not found, or invalid credentials supplied

I have setup a new server on our network. Connected to domain, network, hyper-v installed and I am unable to add this server to the Virtual Infrastructure > Microsoft Hyper-V > Standalone Hosts > (server).  I have my Veeam server trying to contact our new server and there seems to be a road block. I am running Veeam V11a trying to setup a new 2019 windows server. During the hyper-v setup process I have added the name and/or IP address, I have selected the last option (standalone) which matches the description of the new server.  My credentials do work because I ran a test to setup a VM running server 2019 and I was able to set that up right away. For some reason the physical server is blocking the Veeam connection.  Is there a firewall exception I need to add?  I did attempt to manually add the physical server to Veeam so the agent might create its own firewall exceptions. I was unsuccessful at that as well.

B&R Agent Reinstall

Hi, I recently upgraded to the most recent version of B&R community edition and I think as part of that process, one of my Windows PC did not failed to update its Agent properly.  Now, that Windows PC always shows up as offline and when I try to reinstall/update Agent from the console, I get “6/22/2024 5:19:43 PM Warning Failed to connect to MyPC Details: Failed to call RPC function 'PckgFind': Unknown property.” I know that PC is on and has network connection.  Is there a way for me to manually reinstall the Agent on that PC?  If so, where can I find the installation files?   Thank you!

File restore to multiples devices from Veeam console

We need to install the Veeam agent on 2,000 devices within the organization, but centralized file restoration to multiple devices simultaneously is required. Currently, the Veeam Backup & Replication solution does not have this functionality, and it is needed to reduce restoration times for user operations to ensure business continuity in case of ransomware or disaster.

Hybrid architecture

The company I work for is looking to improve its BCDR capabilities utilising Veeam and Azure.  Currently in a DC we have VBR (physical server with local storage repo) copying to Azure blob storage and Enterprise Manager on a vm.  We are aiming to change the Veeam license to include VRO with the idea of being able to stand up VMs in Azure in the event of the DC going down.  My questions are about the placement of the various components.  Do we need a second VBR server in Azure?  Should the Enterprise manager be shifted to Azure?  Would it be best to build the VRO server in Azure?  Also where does ONE fit into this?  We are talking to an MSP about getting this set up but wanted some advice from the expert community to put my mind at ease.  Thanks!
