Migrate Physical Machine to Microsoft Failover Cluster

Let’s walk through the steps to perform a Physical to Virtual machine (P2V) conversion using Veeam Backup and Replication (VBR) to migrate a physical server to a Cluster virtual machine.

Fix VBR 12.1.1 Backup Configuration Warning Failed to connect to Red Hat Virtualization plug-in…

This is a very interesting warning. I migrated many VBR servers, and it’s the first time I’ve encountered this warning.
The detailed warning message is below:
Warning Failed to connect to Red Hat Virtualization plug-in: Failed to login to platform service: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.

How to use QNAP as Object Storage for Veeam Backup and Replication 12.1 with Immutability Backup

      Comments Off on How to use QNAP as Object Storage for Veeam Backup and Replication 12.1 with Immutability Backup

QNAP QuObjects application is free and certificated for objects with immutability, which means you can use it as object storage within Veeam for a backup repository that supports their immutability feature.

How to Install Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager 12.1

Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager is a centralized management and reporting tool designed by Veeam Software for overseeing Veeam Backup & Replication deployments. It allows administrators to control and monitor their backup infrastructure through a web-based interface, making it easier to manage large-scale environments.

How to Install Hyper-V integration services in the ubuntu Linux VM

Today, I will show you how to install Hyper-V integration services in the Ubuntu Linux VM of Hyper-V. If the Hyper-V integration services are not installed, you cannot restore any data from Veeam Backup.

Veeam VBR 12.1 CVE-2023-36558 and CVE-2023-36049 Vulnerabilities

Today, I noticed two fresh vulnerabilities on the VBR12.1 Manager and console servers. Certain .net core requirements are installed when the product is installed. Unfortunately, The .net isn’t patched automatically through Windows updates.

Fix Windows Server 2022 (2019) Recovery partition to prevent C drive extend volume issues

When you try to extend the C drive from the Disk Manager tool but the Extend volume greys out, that’s because the recovery partition prevents the C drive from extending the volume.

Restore VM Files at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

You can restore VM files (XML, VMCX, VMRS, VMGS, VHD, VHDX) if they become corrupted. This option is an excellent alternative to restoring the entire VM. You can only restore a single VM file.

How to restore the Entire VM to the Original Location with Secure Restore at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

If the original VM fails, you can use Veeam Backup & Replication to restore an entire VM from a backup file to the most recent state or a previous point.

How to failback to the specified location of the Production Site at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

For the Failback to the specified location, Veeam Backup & Replication must transfer the entire VM data, including its configuration and virtual disc content. Choose this option if you cannot use the original VM or restore it from a backup.

How to failback to the original virtual machine restored in a different location at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

Because Veeam Backup & Replication only needs to transfer differences between the original/recovered VM and VM replica, the failback to the original virtual machine restored in a different location option helps reduce recovery time and network traffic.

How to failback to the original virtual machine of the Production Site at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

Failback is returning operations to the primary site after a disaster recovery event. It reverses the failover process by replicating any changes made to the virtual machine during the Failover state back to the primary site and then redirecting users and applications back to the primary site.

How to Plan Failover virtual machine to Disaster Recover Site at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

Planned failover is the smooth manual switching from a primary VM to its replica with minor downtime. Planned failover is proper when you know primary VMs are planning to go offline, and you need to switch the workload from the original VMs to their replicas as soon as possible. For example, you can use planned failover to perform data center migration, maintenance, or software upgrades on primary VMs. You can also perform planned failover if you see signs of an impending disaster.

How to undo failover the virtual machine to Production Site at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

One method for completing failover is to use failover undo. When you undo failover, you return to the original VM from a VM replica. When a virtual machine replica is in the Failover state, Veeam Backup & Replication discards all changes made to the replica. This is because the Failover state is intended to be a temporary state used to restore the virtual machine to operation quickly in the event of a disaster.

How to Failover Virtual Machine to Disaster Recovery Site at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

Failing over a virtual machine to a disaster recovery site involves replicating the virtual machine and its data to the disaster recovery site and then activating the replicated copy in the event of a disaster or other disruptive event that renders the original virtual machine unavailable.

How to create a Replication job with seeding to the Disaster Recovery Site at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

This procedure creates a replication job with seeding to replicate the specified VMs to the disaster recovery site. If a disaster strikes and the production VM stops working properly, you can fail over to its replica.

How to create a Replication job to replicate the specified VMs to the Disaster Recovery Site at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

This procedure creates a replication job to replicate the specified VMs to the disaster recovery site. If a disaster strikes and the production VM stops working properly, you can fail over to its replica.

How to create a Replication job to replicate the specified VMs at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

This procedure creates a replication job to replicate the specified production virtual machines at the same production site.
