Good evening my fellow sysadmins,

I've got a question for you : what is the best file server solution that works best with Veeam backup & Replication ?

Context : in my company (a Consulting engineering company) we currently store our data on-prem, we have two production servers and two other replicas. The solution that is deployed is a Ubuntu Server with two ZFS Pools in RaidZ2 (each pool is around 150TB big but with only 40 to 60% used).

Last month, before my tutor retirement, the choice was made to use Veeam to backup our physical infrastructure as well as our file servers. I just found out that Veeam doesn't support ZFS and with the size of our pools, the jobs fail immediately. The limit of VBK files are 218TiB and I don't know how Veeam calculate the size but it fails.

I am thinking of deploying new file servers, since most of our production is on Windows Server I tend to go in that direction with DFS Namespaces or use Azure file for a Hot / Cold data tiering but if you have any others remarks, I will gladly read them.

Thanks ;)

Good morning all,

I've finished deploying my Veeam infrastructure and I'm creating backup jobs soon for my physical servers.

I don't think I understand how I can backup my ZFS based samba servers running on Ubuntu. I've read online to use File Level Backup instead of Entire & Volume level backups

For information, I've got two zfs pools of 130Tb each.

Is this the correct way of doing ?

Thanks in advance

Good morning everyone.

I'm currently planning to deploy two Linux Hardened Repo with the VIA Iso but i'm facing some problems.

Is it possible to select more than one drive for storing the OS (I've got two NVMe and want to do raid on them).

Also does the installer need internet access to fully work ? I've got an python script error when creating xfs on /dev/mapper/datavol-veeamrepo.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Hey everyone,

I'm new to administering veeam br servers and I've been asked to replace our old backup infrastructure to veeam. We've bought two servers with a capacity of 200TB and was wondering if I need to install veeam on both of our servers or only on one ?

If i need to install on both, are they some quirks to be aware of ?

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I'm in Dublin for a couple of days now and i want to know if there's a library that sell Haynes car manuals ?

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone,

I've got a question for you, I have only a master key for my 940 wagon and was wondering what is the difference between the master key and the valet key (beside the immobilizer) ?

Do they share the same cutout ? And the ones for the glovebox are smaller than the master key ? (if yes, what is the difference in height)

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I was thinking on how to change the oil pan gasket on my brick but can't seem to understand how to do it.

Since the car is mounted inline, to I need to lift it up a bit to unbolt the screws ? Or is there another way ?

Thanks

EDIT : I've got a 945 wagon with the B230FK
