Inspired by the session of ​@Mildur and Andreas Lesslhumer during VeeamOn 2025 in San Diego,

I introduced a series of blogposts called “RegKey of the Month”

Every month, I’ll dive into a useful, new, or little-known Veeam registry key that can make your admin life easier.

So let’s get started with the first episode:

This month’s highlight tackles the automatic unmounting of SureBackup NFS datastores, a feature introduced in Veeam Backup & Replication v12.3.1:

If you're managing Veeam environments and often encounter those pesky inaccessible NFS datastores after running SureBackup jobs, you're not alone. These lingering mounts can clutter your vSphere view and skew capacity planning reports.

👉 Check out the full blog post:
📖 RegKey of the Month – May Edition

 

Internally at Veeam, this tweak is even known as “The Hannes Feature,” after product manager ​@HannesK  who championed it.

🎯 Got a favorite or mysterious Veeam registry key?
Contact me to be featured in a future “RegKey of the Month” post! Let’s share the tweaks and tips that make a real difference in the field.

This is a great initiative and one I think everyone will find useful.  Always good to find that hidden registry key to use that you didn't know about.
