Yesterday I decided to walk through and record for the first time the upgrade process from the previous version of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 v4 to v5 to take advantage of all the good stuff in v5 around Microsoft Teams and some proxy enhancements, you can catch that demo here below and also the GA blog post that also went live on the day of GA here. One of the areas that I stumbled upon was having to enable something during the process to take advantage of the new team’s functionality above so wanted to document that also. Firstly, head on over toRead More →

In a year where the world has been reliant on remote working and collaboration tools like Microsoft Office 365, the emphasis has also grown in this space on how we protect or if we protect that data and how, our roadmap for Veeam Backup for Office 365 was always planned to have a better way to protect Microsoft Teams before the surge of many companies and users switching to remote working during 2020. As well as making things much faster when it comes to backing up the data but more importantly the granular recovery and speed of that recovery back into your Office 365 environment.Read More →

For those that have been following anything I have been putting together in 2020 it is likely that you have seen my new PC build and other office upgrades and projects I have had going on, all to keep the boredom and all the bad things from setting in. This little project was just another addition to that, and I am not quite finished just yet. This post will touch on the parts that I used to create this little bundle and why I approached things this way, the this way is the fact that I didn’t just want to run a HDMI cable fromRead More →

2020 has seen a lot of virtual events happening for obvious reasons, but when you have such a strong VeeamON event earlier in the year and you know you have more insight, vision and product news to share you put on another event later in the year. But with a twist Veeam Live was a one-day event and all the breakouts and keynotes were live. The focus on the event was to get into the thought leadership topics around our industry and cloud data management. But it was also a platform that would enable us to talk about recent acquisitions, additional product release announcements andRead More →

Thanks for coming back to part 2, here we will get into a little bit more of the how to get these little computers up and running and even running some VMs and some other interesting community things I have found out in my playing around. If you only had the one SD card then those steps in the last blog can be undone now, we need the SD card to be formatted at FAT32 (MSDOS) so we can upload some required files to the card for the UEFI boot, if you do have a smaller SD card and you wish to preserve the RaspberryRead More →

A little under a week ago Kit Colbert posted here, the announcement of the new Community ESXi-Arm fling. This has been an ongoing waiting game since I believe the days of VMworld 2018 when we could be in another country and amongst fellow community members. Well it looks like the team are well on the way to cracking the code and getting something out there in the form of a fling is a great way and a way I have loved from VMware over the years to introduce their early access of ideas and products out to the community for feedback and some testing. OrRead More →

You may or may not be shocked to hear that I have a server in my garage, I reduced my home lab foot print a few months back and was left with just one HP ML110 Gen7 with some capacity disks. I decided to put Windows 2019 on the box and use this as my home Veeam server, on here we have Veeam Backup & Replication looking after my agent backups and NAS share backups. We have Veeam Backup for Office 365 looking after my vZilla Office 365 account. I also enabled Hyper-V on the box! Madness, I hear you cry! Well it’s a goodRead More →

The first part of this series was aimed at getting a Veeam Backup & Replication Azure VM up and running from the Azure Marketplace using Azure PowerShell. A really quick and easy way to spin the system up. The use case we are talking about is the ability to recover your backups from maybe on premises up into Microsoft Azure. I was asked “what about AWS?” and yes of course if you are using the capacity tier option within Veeam Backup & Replication on premises and you are using the copy mode function to land a copy of your backups on AWS S3 or IBMRead More →

For those that saw this post and the video demo that walks through the manual steps to get your instance of Veeam Backup & Replication running in Microsoft Azure. I decided although that was still quick to deploy it can always be quicker. Then following on from this post we will then look at the automation of the Veeam configuration as well as the direct restore functionality from in this instance Microsoft Azure Blob Storage into Azure VMs. Installing Azure PowerShell In order for us to start this automated deployment we need to install locally on our machine the Azure PowerShell module. More details ofRead More →

Way back when Veeam Backup & Replication v10 was released, there was a lot of new features and functionalities focused around the Linux ecosystem, this ranged from the ability to now leverage Linux Proxies in hot add mode to protect your VMware virtualised environment, on top of that the ability to use NFS repositories, well this was possible pre v10 but it required a middle man to achieve this, the middle man I mention is where we required a Linux server to write the data to the NFS share, ideal for some smaller NAS devices. VIX for Linux was another important feature for file levelRead More →
