Hi teamI am tasked with implementing new repositories and I have to move backups and backup copy created by AHV. It seems that moving AHV backups is not supported with VEEAM move feature.I wonder what the best options are here and what I need to be aware off?The existing repo are configured to not use per machine-machine backup files.The old repos will be decommissioned once all data has been migratedMuch appreciated 

We have a few clients that have a single physical server and have a service or application that is already using port 443.  So when we attempt to upgrade from v12 to v13, it won’t install since 443 is being used and v13 uses it for the Veeam Web Service.  Assuming we can temporarily disable this service/app to get the upgrade to complete, is there a way once v13 is installed to get the Veeam Web Service to use a different port?

hello Hi, can you help me please? I have a problem with a SureBackup job in Veeam version 12.3.2.4165. When creating a script, I entered an invalid character, and Veeam let it through, but I can't delete, modify, or disable the job. I've already entered several scripts via PowerShell, but it won't delete the job. Any ideas on how I can delete it?  

I get the error “30.10.2025 09:52:47 Error    [veeam-infra.infra.local] Failed to synchronize update settings. Error: Cannot provide with host's certificates - PhysicalHost does not exist for host 'veeam-infra.infra.local'                             b4634265-9228-4a5e-9d95-2c12313e89c6”This server has already removed from veeam configuration. Powershell-command “get-vbrserver” does not return this server… How do I fix this? 

Hello community,Happy to share that, in record time after the v13 launch, the Veeam Backup & Replication v13 course is now available. 🔥🔥🔥🎉This version brings key elements compared to v12, including malware detection, enterprise plug-ins, monitoring and reporting, and guidance on basic troubleshooting with Veeam Support. It also expands into enterprise-level capabilities and advanced security, going beyond backup basics with integrations and operational monitoring to help address modern data protection challenges.What’s new in the Veeam Backup & Replication v13 course:Veeam Software Appliance configuration and management Protection for physical servers and unstructured data SureBackup and immutable repositories for recoverability Malware detection and remediation Enterprise plug-ins and integrations Monitoring, alerting, and reporting Basic troubleshooting

Protecting modern workloads requires efficiency, security, and rapid recovery. HPE StoreOnce plays an important role in the Veeam ecosystem as a purpose-built backup appliance that delivers high performance, global deduplication, and immutability for enterprise environments. While HPE Storage Servers have long been popular with Veeam architects, StoreOnce remains a strong option for customers who want a scalable appliance with aggressive data reduction for a Veeam repository. This blog takes a practical look at how StoreOnce fits into a Veeam-powered data protection strategy. We’ll explore how it supports the 3-2-1-1-0 best-practice model, how Catalyst integration and source-side deduplication reduce infrastructure load, and how Catalyst Copy and Cloud Bank Storage extend protection off-site and into the cloud. We’ll also examine immutability

I have been working on a case with Veeam Support to do with HA Clustering and not being able to enable it due to this warning -HA Cluster warning about local repositoryIt turns out somehow I tried to enable HA and then in one of my SOBRs added a capacity tier which was the cause of this.  The recommended solution -Remove the Capacity Tier (Wasabi in my case) from any SOBRs - I only had one in this case with a Capacity/Archive Tier. Enable HA Clustering which now works Add the Capacity Tier back to the SOBRs as neededWhile not the most ideal solution it works.  I asked them to check KBs or Help pages to see if this is mentioned and if not get this added as a note or something so users are aware.  Lots of testing so it was good to find this one and get a solution.

With the High Availability feature in Veeam Software Appliance 13.0.1, Veeam provides a neat way to make the backup server highly available. In this blog post I’ll briefly show how to configure HA, which prerequisites must be met, and what alternatives exist if HA cannot be used. Intro - The Basics The feature itself reduces downtime of the backup server in the Veeam Software Appliance. In general, two nodes are required; they can synchronize even across relatively high latencies. A manual switchover is possible, and a major advantage is automatic updates for both nodes. The goal is to offer fast disaster recovery without the need to keep a dedicated standby backup server, and then finally to restore the configuration backup. 

Last month I was blessed to have been able to attend my 6th Veeam100 Summit. Since I started 1st attending in 2018 (2020 was a no-go, and 2021 was a hybrid event), the venue has been held in Prague, CZ, with the exception of last year where it was held in Berlin. Though I enjoyed Berlin last year since I'd never been, I was really looking forward to getting back to Prague. It's such a beautiful city and there is certainly no shortage of places to see & go. But of course, the main excitement for me was to be able to meet up with fellow Veeam100 Community members and be given the opportunity to chat with various Veeam Product Managers.Like most years I've attended the Summit, I arrived in PRG on Sunday. Sadly, the weather wasn't too great (rainy), but no matter. First day arrivals are typically reserved for getting my bearings straight so to speak  getting to my room, cleaning up, and meeting up with other Community attendees for a late lunch/early dinner and catch up

Currently i already backup virtual machine under Azure Local / Azure HCI environment.Now i have plan to upgrade the Azure Local host and to mitigate if the upgrade failed i want to restore from the backup.So anyone know here how we can make backup for azure local host itself? Since the OS is using Azure Stack HCI

Veeam Backup & Replication v13 has arrived with significant improvements in security, performance, and data governance. I recently performed the upgrade from version 12.3, and in this article I share the entire process, from preparation to post-upgrade validation, following the official Veeam documentation. The goal is to present a practical, real-world experience while highlighting what’s new in this anticipated release. Preparing for the UpgradeBefore starting the upgrade, I followed Veeam’s recommended best practices to ensure a smooth and safe process. This included: Checking system compatibility, supported OS, storage repositories, hypervisors, and all backup infrastructure components. Ensuring no backup jobs were running. Updating the Guest Catalog and cleaning up old sessions. Performing a Configuration Backup, which stores all settings from the Veeam server.

So it's been a few weeks after my return from yet another excellent Veeam100 Summit in Prague. This marks my 3rd visit to Prague, and I'm not getting tired of the city at all. On the contrary, I keep discovering new things to do and visit new places. This was no different this year.First of all I must thank Rick Vanover, Madalina Cristil, Nikola Pejková, Safiya Mohamed, and everyone at Veeam for creating such a unique event. Nowhere else in the Industry do you have such access to Product Management and can ask questions and provide feedback. I have seen Veeam grow from somewhat of an underdog over 10 years ago to the market leader it is today, and this is still true today.This summit was definitely focused on the release of version 13 (I think the biggest release yet, the amount of features is mindboggling) and Veeam's acquisition of
