Another new feature when restoring (Windows) files is the possibility to restore only the permissions. This can be helpful if you accidentally activate inheritance for a directory.You can select single files or a directory. As usual, a summary is displayed when the job is completed. The error shown in the screenshot is due to a file that has already been deleted and for which the permissions cannot be restored.For this to work, network connection must be established. VIX does not work here.
It’s time to build the hype and readiness for V12! And as I announced on the special episode #100 of the Veeam Community Recap, I’m going to make a news hub here where everything you need for V12 can be viewed in one place leading up to the launch. Upon GA; I’ll also put a link to the V12 Upgrade Center (like I did for V11). I will target updating this weekly, and if you have a blog/external resource about V12 - be sure to put it in the comments below. Last updated: 30-January 2023 IMPORTANT: V12 Release UpdateThe RTM release of V12 has been made available to partners on 30-January. RTM is the release for partners or for customers needing/seeking early availability of the product. If you use a Veeam Cloud Service Provider or VCSP (such as those here: http://vee.am/splookup ) for Veeam-Powered Services; you will need to ensure that the VCSP has upgraded first. End users using VCSPs should not upgrade ahead of the service provider. Check with your service provider if you are using on
A feature that was already available in Veeam Explorer for Active Directory now finds its way into the Windows File Level Restore: Compare with Production. This gives you the option to view the differences between the files in the restore point and the current files in production.After pressing the button, you will be asked for the user with the required permissions.Then you see state for files and directories. What you not see are new files in production that are not in the selected restore point.You can also show differences in file attributes.At least in tested version, this feature (and the following) does not work for Linux.
When auditors come knocking—or worse, when bad actors strike—not having accurate and complete event logs can make all the difference in how your organization survives the encounter.However, users are often understandably more focused on day-to-day operations and only think to look for this information once it’s needed (and when time is of the essence).The good news is that all the information you need—including where to find changes in Veeam server user access permissions, failed login attempts, and failed RDP connections—is available in several different locations, including:Windows Event Viewer Veeam Backup and Replication Audit logs for performed restores Veeam One Audit log The individual application log(s) Windows Event ViewerMany Veeam activities (success, warning, and failures) get logged to the Windows Event viewer by default. To see these events from within the Veeam Backup and Replication (VBR) server, open the Windows Event Viewer console and Migrate to the Veeam Backup node
Hi everyone,It's being a while since this idea came to my mind, I want to be notified differently that mail, more accurate and clean, my mailbox is always a mess, and I get too much mails to read them all, and start pending on critical alerts and other stuff.I put together a powershell script, a schedule task and a few things in Windows Server where my Veeam B&R V12 is installed, and I managed to receive in a telegram bot the windows events related to Veeam tasks.Very basic, Im not programming skilled or anything like that, do you want to help and contribute to improve and develop this idea?here I share what I've done and shared to anyone who wants to help, participate and use this workaround.I created a Telegram Bot with BotFather, here the link With normal steps. Then, we need to also get our ID, here the link for a very simple explanation save the ps1 file in a reachable place for you later, this is the code I used: Function Send-Telegram {Param([Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][Stri
I want to continue my post series about little new features in the new v12 realease. Here are 3 little things that will make administrators live a little easier.Modern Authentication for mail notificationsPrior to v12 it was just possible to set SMTP server settings for basic authentication. With v12 you can add Microsoft 365 and Google Gmail for mail notification too. More intuitive Add Storage dialogIn older version, it was necessary to press Show more vendors when adding a storage product that is not listed. With v12, all vendors are listed in a scroll-able list. New default with new repositoriesWith v12 Use per-machine backup files is the new default option when adding a new backup repository.
After the initial setup of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure I’ve had two different issues.The backup jobs finished with following warning:Crash-consistent snapshot of XYZ has been created. Cannot download VSS agent binaries from the storage account: The subscription is not registered to use namespace 'Microsoft.ServiceBus'. See https://aka.ms/rps-not-found for how to register subscriptions. Also FLR restores failed:Preparing worker for restore failed. Error: Cannot find any worker. Worker deployment failed, see logs for details Both of these messages had the same root cause and especially the first one already points to the right direction, the “Microsoft.ServiceBus” Resource Provider wasn’t registered in Microsoft Azure.The solution is really simple, just register this Resource Provider via the Azure Portal or use the Azure Powershell. Register-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.ServiceBus I’m not sure if this Resource Provider should be registered by default, and if so,
Following the line of some of my topics, in Veeambp.com we can find a very useful unofficial tool This tool is not Veeam supportedIt was developed externally and is not linked with Veeam Software or ServiceNow in anyway, No support is offerred or inferred from Veeam Software on this tool. vSnow App is an application to integrate Veeam Backup Enterpriser Manager with ServiceNow vSnowApp for ServiceNow:The application offers integration with Veeam Enterprise Manager.vSnowApp provides following capabilities:Performance Dashboard Incidents Management Manage Backup Jobs.

When using preferred networks you might find your backup jobs take longer to initalise, commonly when you’ve got distributed backup components such as a physical proxy/repository and your Veeam Backup & Replication server isn’t performing any backup processing. This is because your Veeam Backup & Replication Server is also required to use your preferred networks configuration, even if it doesn’t have any network connectivity that resides within your preferred networks.This causes the job initialisation to take a lot longer than usual, and this grows even slower the more distributed your network topology and the more preferred networks you have. This is because your Veeam Backup & Replication server has to work through every preferred network match, before moving onto the rest of your network interfaces.Now, a quick reminder that the scenario above is just one example of why isolated networks might exist, but certainly not the only one. If you’re attempting to use preferred
Just a quick post on an interesting issue with the Guest Credentials test in Veeam Backup & Replication we’ve seen last week. Instantly after clicking “Test Now” in the Guest Processing section of a certain backup job, an error was displayed."Building list of machines to process Error: (Child group-vXYZ (Folder) for object XYZ was not found)"Normally you see such errors with vSphere when a certain object has been deleted or recreated. While Veeam displays names of objects, internally it works with MoRef IDs. So we’ve checked the job selection, custom credentials and the application aware processing settings. But all listed objects were still valid, especially no folders where used anywhere.We’ve contacted Veeam Support and had a remote session. The support engineer discovered some orphaned VM folders in the exclusions. After removing those, the error disappeared and the credential check worked again. From a logical point I thought those weren’t relevant for the check, so I didn’t c
