Hi teamA hardened repo using the VEEAM Hardened ISO experienced a power cycle and upon reboot its out of band interface lit up like a x-mas tree.Upon further investigation it appeared that the virtual disk was just gone. A message indicated that RAID6 detected foreign configuration.Been working with vendor and they have asked to install storcli on to the server.Would this be possible, being a hardened repo? They have a non-recommended method alternative too.Can’t believe that a power cycle did this and not sure what the root cause is but would be good if we could get it back. Otherwise will have to rebuild and sync primary backups againcheers

I would like to output tape backup details in CSV format.Using PowerShell, for example.The output contains the execution time for each virtual machine, which can be confirmed in the history details in the GUI, and whether a full backup or differential backup was performed.When I copy and paste from the history details in the GUI, I am having trouble because when I analyze the data, an execution time of 40 minutes is sometimes calculated as 40 hours.Does anyone know how to output this information?

Modern businesses today generate an extraordinary volume of operational data ranging from performance and capacity trends to risks and anomalies. When it comes to data protection, the data is there, and organizations need to use it to reduce risk and improve recovery readiness. This is where Veeam ONE, a component of Veeam Data Platform, comes into play. If you are already familiar, it’s no secret that Veeam ONE collects and stores data about virtual and backup environments. What’s important is Veeam ONE’s ability to transform this data into clear and actionable insights. Through its vast number of reports, you gain structured documentation of what is happening in your backup environment and why.  This helps bring to light any risks, issues and trends so you can plan and make decisions accordingly.  Veeam One’s HTML-5 based reporting engine provides maximum flexibility, allowing you to reorder columns and filter data sets based on your organization’s requirements. Different teams care

Sorry to rant, but I have nowhere else to turn, and it's beginning to impact our clients. Veeam 13 has been absolutely horrible to install on all our backup servers. The upgrades are breaking the installs on current backup servers. It is straight up failing to install and start the Veeam service on a brand new server, and Veeam support has been unable to figure it out for two weeks. I've put escalation requests in and I'm getting nowhere. has anybody seen behaviour like this? The people on the Veeam subreddit agree that Veeam 13 has been horrible to roll out.

Veeam Data Cloud (VDC) is Veeam’s cloud-delivered backup platform designed to simplify how partners deliver backup services. It removes the need to manage the underlying infrastructure while providing protection for Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Microsoft Azure workloads, Salesforce, and secure storage through Veeam Data Cloud Vault.If you’re a VCSP partner looking to explore VDC, getting started is fairly straightforward.The primary license administrator of the VCSP partner account (with an active rental agreement) can register the business for Veeam Data Cloud through VCSP Pulse.Steps to access Veeam Data Cloud in VCSP Pulse Log in to the ProPartner Portal and navigate to VCSP Pulse. In the top menu, go to Licenses and Subscriptions. Click Veeam Data Cloud Subscriptions. If your organisation hasn’t yet accepted the updated VCSP Terms & Conditions for Veeam Data Cloud, you’ll see a banner message indicating that the terms must be accepted before proceeding.To resolve this: Click th

Veeam Microsoft 365 Community Edition Corrupt adb.log file corrupt. Does anyone know how to fix corrupt adb.log files? I already submitted a ticket but since its the Community Edition, I doubt I will get assistance.

First of all: Sorry for the resolution issues with some of the screenshots, this is because of different resolutions on my smartphone and my notebooks! Based on my Veeam Windows Hardening Script, there are various additional ways to further enhance the security of individual components—and, consequently, the overall security. As previously announced (e.g., at the Veeam User Group Meeting in Munich in November 2024), I would like to explore the possibility of implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) at the Windows level. To this end, I have conducted several lab tests. The goal: In the first step, I want to test two different scenarios:• Securing RDP logins with MFA• Securing local logins with MFAFrom my professional experience, I have already worked with similar scenarios. At that time, customers opted for Cisco Duo due to its strong price-performance ratio.I want to emphasize that this is not a product endorsement, but I will focus my tests on the aforementioned solution because

The environment described in this architecture is one main datacenter with 500 VMs  and 1000 physical servers with 200 GB of used storage. The VMs are  hosted on the HPE VME Hypervisor . The Veeam components are hosted on the Veeam Software Appliance and Veeam Infrastructure Appliance. All backups target a local HPE StoreOnce Appliance and copied to the Veeam Data Cloud (VDC) Vault. The Veeam Workers are automatically deployed and use the hot add backup method. Zerto is used to provide replication to a secondary datacenter.

Hello everyone I want to take VMCA and VMCE this month. The certificate will say the year 2026, right? Thanks.

Hi,we are planning to use the Veeam Data Cloud for Salesforce Backup. We need to keep backups for 2 years. What, if we decide to switch the backup-partner. For example Salesforce native backup? We cancle our subscription. Fair-Use-Policy will delete the backups after 30 days, correct? What options do we have, to keep  the backups as long as our requirements are? The same question would be, if we decide to use veeam backup for m365 in the data cloud. Here we would have onedrive files, with a retention time of 2-10 years.  We do not plan to quit anything, but we need a valid exit strategie if we decide to use a cloud product.

Happy Friday, everyone. I want to share something that I recently ran into. We had Veeam Backup for Entra ID set up for an organization when it was first released and recently turned on the new(ish) feature to back up Intune and Conditional Access Policies. The jobs started failing. It looks like there are a few application and delegated permissions that need to be added to the application that was created when the tenant was first set up. My guess is that when the application was initially created, it didn’t need these permissions so they were never set. Going forward, having Veeam create new applications would add all of these permissions automatically. In the Veeam documentation found here:Permissions - Veeam Backup & Replication User GuideIt states:To perform backup, the application must have the following permissions:Microsoft Graph application permissions: AuditLog.Read.All, Directory.Read.All, Group.Read.All, MailboxSettings.Read, RoleManagement.Read.Directory, User.Read.All

Hi everyone,I am currently reviewing the design of our Veeam Backup & Replication server and would like to follow best practices for disk layout.At the moment our VBR server is a VM with the following specs: 8 vCPU 32 GB RAM Windows Server Local SQL instance Only one virtual disk (C:) which is a VHDX located on HDD storage Currently everything is located on this single disk, including: Veeam installation SQL database Veeam logs Veeam catalog configuration backup Windows OS I am considering adding an additional virtual disk located on SSD storage and moving the Veeam-related components there to improve performance and follow recommended architecture.My questions are: What is the recommended way to migrate components from the existing C: disk to the new disk without breaking the installation? Which components should ideally be moved to the new disk (SQL DB, catalog, logs, etc.)? Is it necessary to stop Veeam services during the migration? Are there any known p

As a celebration after getting renewed as a Veeam Vanguard, I decided to invite myself to my own podcast 😂! (perhaps I can punch in two timesheets?)Joking aside, someone asked me the other day after listening to my long boasting session “so Geoff what are these communities anyways?”.. I thought good gracious you don’t know? Time for action! Why IT Communities matter?

I recently deployed the Veeam Plug-in for HPE Morpheus VM Essentials version 13 (RTM) on my Veeam Backup lab server, which is running v13.0.1. Once tested, I'll have it available to demonstrate to my customers. Veeam has introduced a dedicated plug‑in that enables image‑level backup and restore for virtual machines running on HPE VM Essentials. This integration brings VM Essentials into the same unified protection workflow as VMware, Hyper‑V, and other supported hypervisors. The plug‑in is not bundled with the main Veeam Backup & Replication installer, so it must be added separately. What the Veeam Plug‑in for HPE VM Essentials DoesThe plug‑in extends Veeam Backup & Replication to understand and interact with HPE VM Essentials resources. Without it, Veeam cannot discover or protect VM Essentials servers or workers. Once installed, the plug‑in enables:Discovery of HPE VM Essentials hosts Backup and restore of VMs running on VM Essentials Integration with Veeam’s policy‑based job

 Today I completed another third of the Veeam ONE v13 self‑paced training at Veeam University, moving further into the operational and monitoring‑focused parts of the course. This section covered four core areas:Monitoring vSphere and Hyper‑V Virtual Environments VMware Cloud Director Monitoring Backup for Microsoft 365 Monitoring Veeam ONE Web Client Setup and ConfigurationAs with the previous modules, each section concluded with a 5–6 question knowledge check.3/5 leaves room for improvement… 😉One thing that stood out again: the quizzes are more detailed than the course alone might suggest. In several cases, the questions referenced very specific statements made by the trainer, so listening carefully really matters. I’ve made sure to document these questions thoroughly as part of my exam preparation notes. Focus on Monitoring and the Web ClientMy primary interest in this part of the training was clearly on monitoring capabilities and the web client.

Hello everyone,For several days now, I have been receiving the following error message during our backup copy job:“Failed to perform backup verification Error: Unable to get block digest: block is not initialized. Skipped arguments: [0]; Agent failed to process method {Signature.FullRecheckBackup}.”I performed a full backup, but unfortunately the same error message appeared again. The copy job does not conflict with the backup job.How can I fix this error?Thanks in advance!Version: Backup & Replication 12, Build: 12.3.2.4165

Chystá se další fyzické setkání VUG CZ, které proběhne letos v červnu v Praze. Měl bych dotaz na účastníky a členy komunity. Je nějaké konkrétní téma z oblasti Veeamu, o kterém by vás zajímala přednáška?Jsou to komunitní setkání, takže je cílem se bavit o věcech, které účastníci prakticky řeší nebo chtějí začít používat. Já vlastně nemám představu, jaké věci jsou úplně jasné a přednáška by byla zbytečná, a co naopak může být zajímavé.Pokud máte konkrétní nápad na téma, napište ho prosím do komentáře.Díky za všechny tipy a těším se na setkání v Praze.
