I enabled EWS via Veeam Data Cloud - and it created a new enterprise that seems to be needed for this task (we did it manually anyway) - but it stays after completion of the task.Can we delete that?BRStephan

Hi,I am kinda new to Veeam Backup. We do have some remote linux hosts without any internal connection to our local infrastructure.Now, to not use the internet directly, I installed Netbird (just like Tailscale) and connected both, the Veeam Server and the Linux Host. That works, all good.Now when I add the Host as Managed Server, the initial SSH Connection works and the Netbird IP is being used but then everything else is trying the WAN IPs which, of course, is not wanted and also blocked. So the Setup never finishes. Does anyone know what I could do here?ThanksAndreas

An Introduction to RDMA for S3 One of the biggest challenges customers and partners bring to me is how to get their backups written to object storage faster. That challenge is only magnified when they’re pushing hundreds of terabytes of backup data into their object storage repositories every day. In most cases the bottleneck isn’t the disks, especially if the object storage is backed by SSD/flash. The culprit is most likely the TCP/IP network stack used to move data from the backup server to the object storage target. Every object written over HTTPS pays a TCP/IP penalty in CPU cycles, memory copies, and latency, and those penalties really become apparent when high volumes of backup data are being transferred during the backup window.When we started our object storage journey with Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) v9.5.4 back in early 2019, we expected object storage to become the predominant platform for secondary storage and it has. Adoption of object storage repositories has cli

We have some long-running VM backup policies in Kasten v9.These can take many hours before finishing. As restore jobs is put “on top” (executed when it is its turn), this can mean 12-20 hours later before it is executed. I see no reason for waiting that long, as a number of subjobs are running meanwhile in VM policies, so the restore could be “inserted” as next thing to do as soon as there is a free slot, instead of waiting at the end of the queue.

Hey!! For those preparing for CKA or CKAD exam, I found this link very usefull to practice different tasks.  You have 150 different tasks covering all the topics you need for the real exam. Good resource that help me to pass the exam.https://medium.com/bb-tutorials-and-thoughts/practice-enough-with-these-questions-for-the-ckad-exam-2f42d1228552

Ao tentar usar o veeam não esta dando de fazer upgrade e usar a versão trial versão, quando eu coloco email corporativo para fazer o upgrade mesmo eu colocando exatamente correto o e-mail, aparece no final um ponto, por exemplo lehison.oliveira@pjnet.com.brQuando vai um email para o envio de criação de senha aparece " lehison.oliveira@pjnet.com.br."Com este ponto no final não chega o e-mail para dar continuidade Deve ser algum erro no site, alguém do suporte pode me ajudar ?

IntroductionMy Veeam Report v13, maintained and extended by L1nkState, is a modernized PowerShell reporting solution for Veeam Backup & Replication v12 and v13.Originally created by Shawn Masterson and later expanded by the community (notably marcohorstmann), this project transforms raw Veeam data into a clean, structured, and highly configurable HTML report designed for both operational teams and MSP environments. Download:L1nkState/My-Veeam-Report-v.13 Origin and EvolutionThe project has an interesting lifecycle:🧱 Original script: created by Shawn Masterson (pre-2018) 🧑‍💻 Community revival: modernized by contributors including marcohorstmann 🚀 Current version (v13): adapted and extended by @L1nkState for compatibility with modern Veeam platforms (v12/v13)This evolution reflects a common pattern in infrastructure tooling: community-driven survival and modernization of abandoned but valuable scripts. Key PurposeThe main goal of My Veeam Report v13 is to provide:A single HTML re

 When working with tape environments, tape backup troubleshooting in Veeam is often more complex than it initially appears. Many professionals associate errors directly with faulty media. However, in real-world scenarios, issues often originate from hardware behavior, environmental conditions, or subtle physical problems.In this article, I will share real troubleshooting cases and, more importantly, explain the reasoning behind each analysis. The goal is to demonstrate how to identify the root cause instead of relying only on error messages. Case 1 – Mechanical obstruction during tape movementScenarioBackup jobs started failing during tape movement operations between slots and drives.Observed symptomsFailures during load and unload operations Errors affecting a specific range of slots Intermittent behavior that initially appeared randomExample error:Unexpected slider block, cartridge is not pushed far enough into the slot(ROB_SLIDER_UNEXPECTED_BLOCK_DURING_INSERT) TroubleshootingManual

🖱️ Your mouse cursor disappears inside the Veeam Backup & Replication console?You are not alone. Some customers since yesterday, several constellations, all on the current 13.1.1.18. Veeam Support sees the same across versions and suspects Edge / WebView2.What worked for us:✅ Update Edge, taskkill /F /IM msedgewebview2.exe and restart the console. Cursor back.If you cannot update or wait yet:🛠️ Registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics → DisableHWAcceleration (REG_DWORD) = 1, restart the console. That switches off WPF hardware acceleration for the whole user profile, so test first.🧯 Or work in the Web UI (if possible).Open a support case if it hits you. Volume helps root cause analysis.🔗 R&D Thread: https://forums.veeam.com/viewtopic.php?p=575041 

Veeam Community Edition how to connect to Nutanix Cluster

Hi,  I get that since I have two servers to backup, both physical windows servers, that it is two licenses (instances?).  From what i gather the Veeam essentials package will let me backup a server as a whole server for the $475, which includes 5 licenses.  If so does the 500 gig per licence apply still?  I am told that if I am backing up the entire server it does not.  I dont know for sure.   I rather not backup the whole server.  I rather backup just the data folders/shares.I have 7tb on the file server, and 1 tb on the sql server.  I will replace backup exec with Veeam on my dedicated backup server whose only job is to run backup software to its local huge raid volume.  No cloud involved.Or do I need to instead buy enoughj licenses at 500 gigs each to cover the 8 total tbs?  Do I need both server license and data license? Then i heard that Veeam has a new third option :  "Veeam's June 2026 licensing policy lists Capacity Pack Essentials, specifically for larger NAS/unstructured-data

We are looking to migrate our 10 vm’s, currently on VMware, to Hyper-V. The host has to be stripped down to bare metal before installing the new hypervisor on it. The plan is to spin up a temporary server on a loaner machine, and migrate our critical VMs to the temp server to continue running our operations during the migration. My question is, how does one take a copy of the critical VM’s, and put them on the temp server if the temp server does not have Veeam or VMware? The temp server will have Hyper-V. Thank you.

Hi all,I had a customer who needed a way to obtain Veeam Software Appliance (VAS) updates within a closed OT/dark site/closed environment.However, the challenge was that they lacked Linux experience and would prefer to do everything in native Windows, without using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). If you have no idea what I am talking about, read this section of the Veeam help center: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/update_appliance_configure_updates.html?ver=13#setting-up-custom-update-configurationSo my idea was to build/configure two components:1) A PowerShell script that can be run in Windows to download the necessary files from repository.veeam.com to a computer with internet access and then zip the files into a single large Zip file. 2) Create an IIS server website with all update files needed for the VSA. Then we can easily hand-carry the Zip files from the internet-connected Windows computer to the IIS server in the OT/dark site/closed environment with you pre

Good morning Community!Yesterday afternoon I held an in-person VUGKC event here in Kansas City. The venue we had it at was Boulevard Brewery. The local Veeam SE (Brett Rauber) and I thought this would be a great place to have our event as this space was used in years past for VMware User Groups. Back then, those were very well-attended. We couldn’t have asked for a better day to have the VUG → bright, sunny skies and a Fall-like feel of 70F. Since the space we rented also had a balcony with a view, it was a top-notch day. Our VUG sponsor for this event was Object First and I must say, they did us up right - with the venue, swag, and our speaker Brice Smith… who talked about how to “Combat AI-Powered Ransomware with Object First”. Very well done session!After Brice, I then discussed VDP13 on Linux (VSA) and What You Need to Know. I talked about the main features with this release, and also some limitations & considerations to think about before migrating to v13. Additionally, I shar

I wanted to follow up and say thank you to everyone who came to the UK VUG in Manchester yesterday. We had some great sessions by Object First and  Dave from Medhurst IT, and an engaging session with myself and ​@MarkBoothman and everyone at the event.We find the same things are on peoples minds, security and what are we doing in the post VMware Broadcom acquisition. The latter, to me at least, still does not have a clear path on which vendor is going to “win” market share for the core hypervisor to be used. Very much a what is the right tool for the job. For some it is a cost decision, others it is eco system support. There is no right or wrong answer. Anyways, a few pics from the day 😀 

Hello everyone!!!  🚨 Recently, we identified incidents affecting some customers where the mouse cursor disappears while using the Veeam Console. During our investigation, we identified a possible connection to Microsoft Edge.Although permanent fixes are still being worked on, applying the command below, which makes a change to the Windows Registry (Regedit), has shown positive results and temporarily resolved the issue.We are continuing to monitor the environments and follow the progress of the ongoing fixes to ensure operational stability.Has anyone in the community experienced the same issue? If so, please share your experiences, possible root causes, or solutions you have implemented. Let's collaborate and exchange information to help the community find a more permanent solution! 🤝  command reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\WebView2" /v "HardwareAccelerationModeEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

I am seeing that there is an error in the image that appears at the bottom of the calculator when immutability is enabled.Veeam documentation referes to:https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/hardened_repository_immutability.html?ver=13#retention Veeam Backup & Replication compares the immutability period of the backup repository and the GFS backup file lifetime, and sets an immutability period for full backup files with GFS retention policy as equal to the longest of these periods. For example: the backup repository immutability period is 10 days; the GFS backup file lifetime is 3 years; the backup file will be immutable for 3 years; the increments from this full backup file will be immutable for 10 days from the moment of the last increment creation. The image is not showing the lock for the GFS RPO 

We have a Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager that connects to several Veeam B&R servers at our remote sites and child companies. As we’ve been upgrading to V13, the requirement to use HTTPS to connect to the VBR server is causing endless issues. Most of these sites are smaller, and only have one external IP that’s used for something user-facing, such as client VPN. (You know, because default ports are good for end users that wouldn’t know how to specify them.)V12 used Veeam-specific custom ports that we could forward to the VBR servers and there was no issue whatsoever, but the upgrade to V13 has ruined this. It is necessary to be able to specify a custom port for BEM to collect data from VBR servers. We’re not pointing a web browser at this, and backup software is an ideal place for knowledgeable IT staff to use and document custom ports, or even just a single nonstandard port that Veeam uses by default (like is used to with 9392). I don’t know who decided it was a good idea to use t
