@Dashrender said in Veeam Company Announcement: @scottalanmiller said in Veeam Company Announcement: @StorageNinja said in Veeam Company Announcement: Smart watch leaders are apple and samsung. Samsung isn't in the big three. Xiami is number one, Apple number two. Xiami is the largest wearables maker in the world. So big that they don't just make their own processors with their own fab, but they use their own architecture! And they are sold everywhere but the US (or at least I've never seen that brand at any retail location I've been to) They are definitely sold in the US. We buy them here (they are cheap and resilient.) I don't see them in stores too often, but like on Amazon and stuff they are just a normal item, not imported specially or anything. They are widely available. I like them for travelers because they are cheaper than average, but work well and have the best battery lives (often 1.5 months on a charge!) So you aren't likely to get it stolen, or have charging issues, and if they break just buy another.

I think Veeam limits to every 15 minutes? I don't know as we don't use Veeam replication. I know other solutions can go as often as every minute. But that is outside of this scope. Some every 30 seconds. DRBD does it in milliseconds, as fast as the platform can do it.

@StorageNinja said in Veeam with NetApp?: Netapp E-Series is the same as the old Dell MD36xxx or the LSI enginio code base (IBM also sold a similar low-end modular array). These things were wicked fast/cost-effective at streaming workloads (got used for Lustre clusters a lot as the DAS on the nodes). Dell's abandoned reselling them for Seagate (Dothill) but they still around Not wicked fast compared to building your own. And the staggering lack of internal support if anything goes wrong is a big deal... storage is one of those things you want to have work, especially at these price ranges. Having been a NetApp customer, I know that their support is helpless when it comes to trying to do high performance, their crap just falls over and so do their engineers.

This should be fine. I have a similar configuration with restore points and it works as designed.

@NashBrydges said in Leveraging Veeam Cloud Tier - Backups To Wasabi: @wrx7m said in Leveraging Veeam Cloud Tier - Backups To Wasabi: I upload Veeam backups to Wasabi (and before that, S3) outside of Veeam. I pull down the backups and import them back into Veeam, via the import feature. I would like to see how well it works when everything is natively done in Veeam. If that is even possible. How do you upload your backups to Wasabi? Are you using a 3rd party tool? Yeah. I use a file compare tool called, BeyondCompare that runs on a windows task schedule.

@scottalanmiller I was considering rolling them back to last night as a last-ditch scenario is all fails since it is on Veeam and I have a Full from last night.

Our go-to solution for VSS problems is to set up a dedicated snapshot volume. Otherwise we were getting timeouts and M$ does ugly things that don't make sense when VSS doesn't work properly.

@smartkid808 said in Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition: @JaredBusch my bad. They just posted it on SW couple days ago about it, and the blog on the Veeam site is only 2 days old, didn't realize it was here already Don't be afraid to repost. Hell I've done it before. I just want all the things cross linked whenever possible. Makes it easier to find details in 6 months. In this case I even mis-remembered where the fuck I read about it. Thanks @dbeato.

@NashBrydges said in Backing up Office 365: @Dashrender @Jimmy9008 My largest client to use this for their Office 365 backup has 42 mailboxes and it works very well for them. I can't confirm with anything larger than that though. In theory then it should work well for me. Will test and see. Thanks

So, circling back. How is the backup project going?

Also what does this mean for updates to the agent

@jaredbusch said in Backup server - Software layout: I use teams, even if there is only one NIC in the team most of the time, because I can add and remove NICs without impacting the higher layers. Good idea. This server I just got has the onboard GB NICs, but also 2 dual port Intel GB NICs as well. I could create a BIG team if I wanted.
