  • Veeam Vanguard Summit 2019 – Pre-Summit

    Prague is a long way from my home town of Brisbane. Even the most direct flights, with Emirates via Dubai, is just over 21 hours or flying time! So when travelling that far, I try and spend a few extra days to make the most of the travel. So this year I opted for a […]

  • Exchange Restore From Tape With Veeam

    A little while ago, I had to restore an entire mailbox from an Exchange server backup. As the date required had exceeded what we hold on disk, it was a tape restore. Yep, tape, still use them and I’m a bit of a fan. It makes it very easy to have an offsite copy that […]

  • Veeam – HPE 3PAR 3.3.1 – Failed to check fingerprint

    I’ve just had a second 3PAR array upgraded to 3.3.1 and again Veeam Storage Integration could no longer talk to the 3PAR. After much diagnosing the first time, the solution turned out to be rather simple. After the 3PAR upgrade, backup jobs failed with “internal server error”. When doing a re-scan o
