Good day team, Trying to create a sub folder under the backup tree in container and i get this error. This blob storage is working Buexec, backups going to it etc. I also cannot move forward as i need a folder name to select.How can i resolve this?

We have a vSAN cluster where the vSAN network is physically separated on different network switches from the management and other VM networks. When configuring Veeam backup proxy for VM backups on vSAN, what interfaces or connectivity is required? What traffic flows over which interface? Is the below understanding correct or we need only one interface on the backup proxy connecting to the ESXi mgmt network? ESXi: vmnic0 - esxi mgmt  (connected to a pairA of network switches)vmnic1 - vsan (connected to pairB of network switches) NIC0 - connectivity to ESXi Mgmt (Connects to ESXi/vCenter for VM and esxi details, mouting the backup VM disk to the proxy VM)NIC1 - connectivity to the vSAN inetwork (data of the VM is fetched through this interface) Thanks,Sudhir

Hi team, We all know about the type of general backups usch as incremental, full, synthetic full, differential etcMy colleague (a veritas user) wants to move forward with Veeam. However, he is not yet conviced, he is asking if veeam can:Perform general Differential backups efficiently and easily in VBR 12.1 with easy steps Perform Differential backups on VHDX/VHD, VMDK files with retention of choiceI welcome any detailed/explanation insight here. I would love to make him a new Veeam user/believer.

I had a problem with our host server in production and I had to activate the replicas on our second backup host, later I applied permanent Failover, after reestablishing the first host that had the problem, I created replica routines from the backup host server to the main one and I applied permanent Failover, finally, I recreated the replication routines from the main server to the backup server, however, it is no longer working, an error keeps appearing that I couldn't find on the community forum. Failed to process replication task Error: Failed to create planned VM configuration (path: 'D:\9ca0c3d4671a45888343cf0b4ef75605(20)\Virtual Machines\545b475e-2040-49fe-bffb-d9133f3739f4.vmcx'). [WMI] Empty result.

Using the cmdlet Get-VBRJob I can get the backup job.  Pipping this to Get-VBRJobObject shows me the objects backed up by this job.Most of the VMs in this backup job exist in folders so all I see are a list of those folders.How do I get the VMs contained in these folder?

Any can help to solve this error please?“2024/3/27 11:04:52 :: Unable to truncate SQL server transaction logs. Details: Failed to truncate SQL server transaction logs for instances: MSSQLSERVER.   “It is from a backup job of a physical server.

Hi,I am running some tests on a demo installation of Veeam. I have set up a job with retention and immutability of 5 days. The full backup is done on Sunday and the incremental on Monday. on 3 August the chain immutability expired but on Sunday 4 August veeam did not remove the old chain (with expired retention and immutability verified by s3 browser) how come? 

Hi!I have been working with TP2 of Veeam M365 and have published the first (of several) blog articles on this topic:13 – Veeam M365 v8 Technical Preview 2 – Installation & Service Accounting – Disaster and Recovery (disaster-und-recovery.de)As I am known for my focus on security and hardening, I first looked at what the automatic creation of service accounts means and examined this in the lab. I am happy to go into further deep dives, feedback is welcome! Stay safe!Lukas

Hi,For those of you who are running HPE servers with ILO 5 or 6.We were hit hard last weekend when updating HPE ILO 5 from 3.05 to 3.06. It took our entire vSphere cluster down. See:https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-remote-server/warning-ilo-3-06-causes-crash-of-dl380-gen10-plus-server-with/m-p/7221633#M10163https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00141858en_us&docLocale=en_US     

I’m moving an artesca S3 bucket to another veeam host. The repo is part of a SOBR with a storeonce primary target. Rescan option cant be done directly on the repo but can on the SOBR…..however it seems to fail.  I’m concerned when moving to the new server, we wont see old backups. Thoughts?? 

HiI ask if Veeam community edition of Veeam is compatible with RHV, and if anyone has had experience. Gustavo

Nutanix introduced AOS 6.8 and it is causing some API issues with Veeam Backup for Nutanix. This can result in restore failures and other issues. We are recommending Veeam customers not to upgrade until an updated version is available from Nutanix. The timeline we received for the update is later toward the end of the year. Please see the links below for the latest details😀.Veeam Forums link https://forums.veeam.com/nutanix-ahv-f51/aos-6-8-veeam-ahv-support-interoperability-validation-t93415.htmlVeeam Backup for Nutanix User Guide (Supported Versions)https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbahv/userguide/system_requirements.html?ver=50Thanks,Pete

I was alerted to the CVE in some Slack RSS feeds.  I figured why not get the new patch that was released and installed it. Quite simple and straight forward, which is usually the case with Veeam.I did a bit of digging into the KB and was quite excited to see that they included more features into this than I was expecting. I figured this was mostly to fix the CVE’s.   New Features and EnhancementsPlatform SupportAlmaLinux 9.3 and Rocky 9.3 supported for use as Linux-based backup repositories and backup proxies.

Is there a way to change the temp location that Veeam B&R uses for the console?  We have a script that cleans out the C:\Windows\TEMP directory nightly and when it does, we can no longer launch the VB&R console.  I get an error “Access to the path ‘C:\Windows\TEMP\Veeam\$VeeamUpdates’ is denied”If I create C:\Windows\TEMP\VEEAM I can launch the console. The script is from our management software and I am not sure if changing the system variable will make a difference.  That is why I am asking if there is a way to change it in VB&R itself.Thanks

Hi, we have applied the available security patches and upgraded our Veeam backup Azure version 6 to 7 Yesterday. Since then, we are unable to go to the url that the FLR creates for any of our restore requests using Veeam appliance portal. We have not made any change in Azure or in Veeam side except applying these updates. We have checked and all permission for service accounts are fine, the NSG in Azure clearly shows allowing port 443 for the worker instances vnet /subnet so we cant really think of anything else that could cause this issue. We have raised a support case with Veeam as well and they have asked us to try the worker IP address to browse to the URL that we also tried without any luck: Any advice would be highly appreciated. Many thanks

Estou fazendo uma atualização no meu ambiente, e estou atualizando meu veeam 9.5.4 para o veeam 11 que é o que meu hypervisor suporta, tenho uma licença por socket e lendo a documentação encontrei que as licenças até o veeam 10 são bloqueadas por versão e que eu teria que baixar a versão mais atual da licença para conseguir colocar em meu veeam 11, porém quando acesso o portal não encontro essa opção de download, o meu suporte está expirado seria algo relacionado a esse suporte expirado ? ou existe outra forma de fazer este download ? I'm doing an update in my environment, and I'm updating my Veeam 9.5.4 to Veeam 11 which is what my hypervisor supports, I have a socket license and reading the documentation I found that licenses up to Veeam 10 are blocked by version and that I would have to download the most current version of the license to be able to put it on my Veeam 11, but when I access the portal I don't find this download option, my support is expired would it be something relat
