I received a backup job problem today. Successfully created Hyper-V Guest (creating a VM recovery checkpoint with Veeam application-aware processing). The next step is Failed to finalize guest processing. Error: RPC function call failed. Function name: [BlobCall]. how to fix it and resolve the issue. thanks 

I’m testing the Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition on 2 Windows 10 Pro PCs, connected with Gigabit Ethernet.  Everything’s functional.  With no throttling, backup read speed fluctuates between around 60Mb/s and 140Mb/s (note - when the read speed was around 77Mb/s, network usage shown in Task Manager on the server computer for Veeam Agent was around 940Mb/s).  But browsers and email applications on the client computer become unresponsive at times.  Setting throttling (via a Network Traffic Rule on the server) to 50Mb/s fixed the unresponsiveness problem.  But with the throttling, backup read speed dropped drastically, hovering between 1Mb/s and 5Mb/s.  I got the same result after disabling firewall and antiVirus on both computers. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to track down the cause of this problem?  

Can my physical VBR server also be a source WAN accelerator ? Can my target repository server also be the target accelerator? 

Hello all,One of my customers has two node SQL DB cluster using VMware RDM. Customer wants to replicate this using the Veeam Backup and Replication. Is it possible to replicate this RDM?what is the process for this ? Thanks you

I’m running Veeam v12 and performing some restore tests via AD explorer.When I try and restore object to the domain (this is another domain we are backing up, not the domain the Veeam server is connected to), the credential window appears. Enter that but always get error box “The supplied credential is invalid”here is the extract from the veeam log file:Connecting to domain controller rd.domain.org (port: 389, user: RD\serviceusername)…Error: The supplied credential is invalidAny help would be welcome, thanks.

When I using Veeam explorer to restore mailbox items with attachments to a user’s mailbox on On- premise Exchange Server the restore job fail with the below error:"Failed to create items. The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. Unable to write data to the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."Any ideas? 

Happy Friday everyone! I’m back for another Fun Friday question: What do you use to lab/test/play with technology? Whether you’ve just got a preferred cloud provider, live on the “hands on labs” of a particular vendor, or have a substation in your garden powering a giant datacentre in your basement, I wanna hear it! I’ve currently got a 48 Port 1Gbps PoE switch with 6x 10Gbps uplinks, 2x HPE quad core servers with 32GB RAM each running ESXi and if I need to overflow I’ve got VMware workstation on my quad core 32GB PC, all sat under my desk!

Looking for backup report script to output to html. Currently not veaam one in the environment. 

hiI first created local users and made them members of the portal administratorI removed the enterprise manager server from the domain and now it works as a workgroup.Now I have the Error of invalid username or passwordDoes anyone have a solution?

For security reasons, our backup proxies should not be domain servers. Can anyone tell me if and how I can add a non-domain server as a backup proxy? Both the server and the proxy are VMs and in the same networks.

I am sure someone else will find this blog post very useful. I have been doing extensive research since I created this blog post below.  So I purchased Beelink EQ12 3x recently. Beelink EQ12 mini PC since it has an Intel 12th Alder Lake-N100 processor (4C/4T, up to 3.4GHz, 25W TDP), delivers 25% more power than N5105. The low power consumption makes this mini-computer great for light work, 4K video playback etc. At this time, this Mini PC costs 329.00, and there is a promotional voucher of 45 euros. So it will be about 284 euros. Other Additions- Got a TP-Link TL-SG108E 8-Port Gigabit Switch (Plug and Play, Gigabit Ports, VLAN, QoS)- A Synology 923+ [I got this due to my Veeam Legend and vExpert status].

I’d like to install a second VBR Enterprise Plus server (different catalog) to my secondary site for backing up servers at that location. Question is, can I use my existing license on it and have both VBRs running at the same time?I have a 30 instances license. 

Blog URL - Veeam VBR - 12.1 Upgrade Veeam released the 12.1 update back in November 2023, and with it comes upgrades to most components, including Veeam Backup & Replication. Today, I will walk through the upgrade process in my HomeLab to update my current Veeam Backup & Replication server from 12.0 to 12.1. Many enhancements came with Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1, including some of the following -Inline Malware Detection Early Threat Detection Scan Backups with YARA Four-eyes Authorization KMS Integration Object Storage Backup AI Assistant (ChatGPT like) Postgres DB Support for Veeam Cloud Connect (previously was SQL before 12.1) A full list of the enhancements in Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1 can be found

I am trying to write a playbook that takes a final backup of an exiting employees OneDrive and Exchange Mailbox.  I can’t get past getting an authentication token. 

Hello,I could say better late than never, i’m using a script since many years to make my configuration configuration immutable on a linux repos.Even it is now available for object storage and it will probably be immutable in future release, i think it could useful to share it. #!/bin/bash# Define a list of target directoriestarget_directories=("/path/to/your/target_directory1" "/path/to/your/target_directory2")attribute_to_apply=" +i" # The chattr attribute to apply (e.g., immutable)time_to_wait_days=10 # Time to wait in days before removing chattr attributelog_path="/path/to/your/logfile.log" # Replace with your desired log path# Calculate the time to wait in secondstime_to_wait_seconds=$((time_to_wait_days * 24 * 60 * 60))# Log the start timeecho "$(date): Chattr attribute application started for files in ${target_directories[*]}" >> $log_path

Hi Everyone, I just created an immutable repository using Azure Blob storage and connected to it using a Veeam 12 B&R client on Windows.I was hoping to create a File Share job to send a small set of data to the immutable repository but this doesn’t seem to be an option as when I do a new file share job the immutable repository is not available to select.Have I maybe missed something when configuring my Blob or Repo or is this just not possible? Thanks. 

Hey guys, I have a question.In a windows system with MySQL database, if I install veeam agent for windows, will I able to backup MySql database?

Hi team:I have a problem with 2 hyper-v hosts that I added to the veeam backup.In 1 the host IP had been changed. The josbs were removed and created from scratch. Now, when executing the job, the message "Unable to allocate processing resources. Error: On-host proxy [<Hiper-V name>] requires upgrade before it can be used." appears. I have a rscan over then host and its finished with warnings.In the second hypervisor, this was added directly with the name, but when executing the job, the message "Failed to connect to endpoint <vbr-server>:2500" appears. An error occurred during the connection attempt as the connected party did not respond properly after a period of time".How can i solve this?It should be said that I do not have a defined proxy and it is automatic.Greetings,

Hi at all,We configured a backup for SQL AAG with Veeam plugin and all work fine, but now we need backup also the OLAP ( Online Analytical Processing ) component for our SQL AAG. Unfortunatly the OLAP is not discoverd by Veeam Plugin and thus I don’t know how setup It's backup with Veeam. Our goal would be configure an backup as did it for the others DB instances Any idea or experience to share ? CiaoLuca 

Hello community,you  probably know my many scripts on the subject of backup data scanning? I am happy to share with you what I am currently working on.Secure Restore / Scan BackupCurrently "only" Microsoft Windows machines can be scanned using Secure Restore or Scan Backup (see here). However the Disk Publishing (Data Integration API) allows us to publish a disk from different types of backups to a Windows or Linux host. The disk can have a Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix or other file system. On top Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1 gives us many more options for scanning backup data. For example we now also can mark restore points as clean, suspicious or infected using a PowerShell cmdlet. What if i were to extend one of my scripts with this function? Said and done!New Script - New Features

I did an instant recovery of 2 servers, these servers were from a different location and restored to a new location. Instant recovery went fine. When I migrate to production it creates a whole new server with the name -migrate. Never had this issue doin this to the same location.

When you will download data from Exchange Online – Microsoft will throttle your traffic. In previous years to change it, you should open a support ticket to MS. Now you can temporarily change this directly on Microsoft 365 admin center. This can be especially useful for initial full backup for multiple mailboxes. How to setup this? Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center and in the top right corner open help and just type “ews”. Then you have to run tests as a results you will have option to select duration 30, 60 or 90 days with higher throughput speed.

I have a customer that would like to have a way to save decommissioned server backups for 7 years.  Their normal retention for backup jobs is 1 year.  They use Data Domain for archive storage.  When they decommission a server they would like to keep the backup for 7 years.  My thought was to create a second repository on the Data Domain, move the backups there and then remove the server from the backup job.  Would this effectively exclude those backups from retention policies?
