Hello Team,I am using Veeam Agent / Veeam Backup and Replication for backup storage on a NAS.I noticed that in my backup repository folder, Veeam creates:.VBK full backup files multiple .VIB incremental backup files .VBM metadata filesMy question is:Why are there multiple .VBK files stored in the same backup folder?Are these incremental restore points expected behavior?Also:Will Veeam automatically delete old .VBK and .VIB files according to the retention policy? Is it safe to manually delete multiple or older .VBK files from the repository folder if storage becomes low? How does Veeam manage the backup chain cleanup process?I want to better understand how Veeam handles incremental backup retention and storage management.Thank you. 

When I logged on to my Object First Appliance again, I saw that an update was available once more.Honestly, it’s almost too simple to write a blog post about, but why not ;-) Updating your Object First (Ootbi) appliance is super easy and quick (and much faster than it took to write this post).Updates roll out security patches, bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features — and the best part is that the whole thing is driven from a easy Web UI with only some clicks.In this post, I’ll walk you through updating your Ootbi cluster end to end: the online method (for internet-connected appliances), the offline method (for air-gapped or security-restricted environments), and the pre- and post-update checks I always recommend before calling the job done.Good to know: Ootbi updates are applied at the cluster level, not node by node. When you trigger an update, it’s automatically pushed across every node in the cluster, so all your nodes stay on the same version without any extra effort

Hi everyone,I am delighted to present my first blog post and my first contribution to the Veeam community today. I would be very grateful for any feedback 😊 When working with Veeam Recovery Orchestrator (VRO), you might occasionally run into situations where the system makes decisions that aren’t immediately intuitive. Recently, a partner approached us with a scenario that raised exactly that kind of question: How does VRO choose which backup copy to use when multiple copies exist? Let’s walk through the use case, the unexpected behavior, and what we learned from digging into it. The Scenario In this environment, VRO is running at the disaster recovery site and orchestrating a vSphere-to-vSphere restore plan. The plan uses the following steps:  A backup-to-disk job writes backups to a local backup repository. Immediately afterward, two backup copy jobs run in parallel to copy the backup data to two additional repositories — let’s call them Repository A and Repository B. The restor

Hello, On new V13 VSA installation, I would like to backup some VMs (inside domain) with AAIP enabled.When I try it as I did with V12, it doesn’t work. My VSA is not in a domain.I saw for authentication only Kerberos or certificates can be used (from Veeam deployment kit) because NTLM is removed.Does that mean I need to add my VBR server to the production domain if I don’t want to use Veeam deployment kit on all my Windows VMs ?  I don’t find a way for my backup to work with AAIP enabled while I’m using domain\user account with correct privileges.I have this error : 29/05/2026 14:33:16 Failed : Failed to connect via Administrative share.Host: [COMPUTER.domain.com].

 Veeam Backup & Replication 13.0.2 dropped yesterday — and if you manage a smaller environment where a single Windows Server hosts all the things (Proxy, Mount Service, vPowerNFS, Guest Interaction Proxy, you name it), you may have hit an annoying moment when tried to open the console after upgrading the VBR server. You open up the Veeam Backup & Replication console, enter your server's name, click Connect — and instead of the familiar dashboard, you get this:      Failed to connect to the backup server: the connection has been established but client update is required, however this machine is hosting other roles. Make sure these following roles are not in use and uninstall them … The message is accurate: the console client is older than the freshly updated server, and the in-place update mechanism wants you to remove other roles before it allows the console to update itself. In a larger, role-separated architecture that is fine — but in a compact single-server se

We are facing an issue where SentinelOne is blocking our Veeam Mount Server, even when the operation is happening on the same server (VBR Windows).These errors occurred after attempting a File Level Restore (FLR):   We tested using Interoperability mode, but the error persisted. We then tested using Performance mode, and the restore was successfully mounted.  Has anyone experienced this behavior before or found a workaround?

Hi there!I`ve been thinking a bit about this, and finally the time has come to share it with you all.After trying different apps, AI, classrooms, etc… it came to my mind,Why dont give this a shot?We are world wide, many languajes and tons of native people, with differet accents and slangs, but we do share something in common, IT and Veeam love! the idea is simple, to create different conversation groups depending on the Languaje you want to practice / learn.Im more than happy to share some of my time if somebody wants to practice some Spanish.I know we do have French, Dutch, German, English, Portuguese, Italian (😉), and many others…What do you think?Is it something you may be interested in?Summer is comming (for me) and would be a great time for sharing some experiences and give some time to others.cheers.Luis F. 

AI in Production on OpenShift: Designing for Resilience, Portability, and Control At Red Hat Summit 2026 in Atlanta, Veeam delivered a lightning talk that reframes how platform engineers should think about AI workloads on OpenShift.The core shift: AI placement is no longer a technical decision — it's a business and risk decision."The question is no longer 'Can I run AI here?' — it's 'Where should this workload run, and under whose control?'" This post covers the key architectural principles from that session, the data that backs them up, and a concrete use case that shows what this looks like in practice. Why Placement Matters More Than EverThe assumption that AI lives in the public cloud is already outdated. The actual distribution of AI/ML workloads today:65% on-prem, colocation, specialist GPU clouds, or network operatorsAnd placement has real operational consequences: The driver behind this is a shift toward AI sovereignty — and it goes well beyond data residency.Sovereign AI: Cont

I am making this a separate thread now from the other main one to request that VSPC be added to the Port Mapping section of the Calculators.  I am currently doing an exercise with VSPC and this would have come in very handy.​@david.tosoff 

They want a detailed description but truncate it at about 2.000 characters :("Provide a detailed issue description and error messages." field does not accept more than that.Usually I prepare my issues in text editor and in the end copy/paste into support portal.Now I realize only half of it made it through while I don't have my original any more.I'd expect the GUI at least to give a warning. Noone serious will type his message into some web form initially and realize the input no longer works as he’s typing live.Who can fix that? Open a case for it? ;)

Hola a todos:Tengo una consulta, tengo un VBR al cual le agregué un repositorio de BlackBlaze. Todo bien con ello, la pregunta pasa por lo siguiente: Si en caso de que se dañe el servidor VBR y no tenga como recuperar las configuraciones de los jobs, puedo volver a unirme a ese repositorio in perder los backups en él? Obviamente estarían como huérfanos, pero si se podria? Saludos,

Hi,I am looking for a solution for the long-term retention of SQL backups.Our SQL Servers are saving SQL dumps (FULL+LOG) to a share on the Veeam Backup Server.An hourly File Backup Job copies the changes to out Hardened Repository.An additional requirement is to retain the FULL backups of specific databases for a longer period - ideally using GFS retention policies, i.e. 4 weekly and 12 monthly.Due to the limited capacity of the Hardened Repository we would like to use our HPE StoreOnce Deduplication Appliance for this purpose initially, maybe to replace or extend this using Azure Blob Storage.I tried around a lot, but I didn’t find a solution yet.Ideas are welcome!Oliver.------------------Hallo,ich suche nach einer Lösung für die langfristige Aufbewahrung von SQL-Backups.Unsere SQL-Server speichern SQL-Dumps (FULL + LOG) auf einer Freigabe auf dem Veeam Backup Server.Ein stündlicher File Backup Job die Änderungen auf unser Hardened Repository.Eine zusätzliche Anforderung besteht nun
