I created a “VeeamRecoveryMedia.iso” with Veeam Agent Free for Windows v6.1.0.349,and copied it to my “Ventoy” ssd external usb case. I have a bug in UEFI mode: unable to press any key when prompted, and finally fall backs to the Ventoy menu.(Boots fine in BIOS mode but useless cause of legacy BIOS boot with GPT image to recover) What to do ?

I had to restore the server that Veeam was on to a snapshot and now I cannot get Veeam to run the daily backup job. If I rescan repositories, it will sit forever and do nothing. Is there another way around this to get backups going again? Thank you!

Any can help me about below error2/27/2024 11:54:02 PM :: Error: Could not find file 'D:\TEMP\tmpD1CF.tmp'.   

Hello, I need some advise if the VMDK ID is changed and Veeam is not able to find those VM anymore. Recently had to rebuild the host and add VM from the datastore, however their VMDK ID has been changed. Veeam is not longer detecting those VMs. I tired remapping the VM, however, its not continuing on previous chain and creating new restore point.Any advise if we can do anything about it? 

HelloHow to protect AHV VM with vTPM enabled?

Veeam Agent backup failure due to VSS error. When checked in Event logs, found an error for VSS “automatically choosing a diff-area volume processing endpreparesnapshots”. Has anybody worked on this without rebooting the server?

Recently @Julia F Morgado and I have released a blog post talking on the Best Practices to a secure AWS environment.https://www.veeam.com/blog/aws-security-best-practices.htmlIn this guide, we emphasize the significance of data encryption and utilizing the AWS Key Management Service (KMS). Encrypting data is crucial to thwart unauthorized access, and when combined with immutability, it not only protects against data theft and misuse but also guards against the malicious deletion of data.There’s also a third risk even with those two practices that I would like to share, which is the KMS key being deleted.  Say you’ve done everything right and encrypted your immutable backups with a key, then your production and/or other copy of the data (3-2-1 rule, right?) have been attacked, locked or encry

Hi, I vaguely recall seeing an option where a backup job is automatically started when a USB drive containing a backup repository is plugged into the server.  I can’t seem to find it again…was I dreaming?Thanks, Hammer

hi veeam ommunityGuidelines for responding to ransomware. Does anyone have instructions on what to do if, for example, one of the servers is infected with ransomware? I mean the actions related to veeam backup. I want to write an instruction and I want to use the experience of you experts. 

We relocated one of our VMs to another backup job and noticed that the job completion status information for the VM is “Resetting CBT per job settings for active fulls”. Our backup jobs are configured with incremental backups and one synthetic full backup per week.  I am curious if we move one of the VMs to another backup job, does Veeam automatically perform an active full on it? Thanks Pete  

Running Veeam v12 and currently backing up for 14 days to a local HPE storeonce.I want to also put a longer term copy into an AWS S3 bucket for about 1 year. Probably once a month.The best option I think is to perform a backup copy, not via a SOBR.If via copy is there a compatibility issue creating a copy job from storeonce catalyst repos to S3 repos? thoughts?

So we are deploying Veeam for ourselves and I have been fighting with it for a few days.  Our setup is: Veeam server - Non-Domain joinedVeeam Proxy - Linux with XFS volume attached via RDM in VMwareA scale out Repo setup that is backed by the xfs volume from the Linux machineOur primary Altera arrays are also added into Veeam under the storage Infrastructure and i am able to browse the snapshots on them and perform restores. Both servers are located in the same site/network.  The storage is coming from a LUN on an Altera Hybrid array that is presented to both hosts in the esxi cluster.We have a mix of domain joined, non-domain joined windows machines along with some random Linux boxes.  I just have a simple nightly backup job created that has all of our servers included in it.  I have selected the Linux proxy for the backup proxy in the job which then pulls in the Scale-out Backup Repo.  In the advanced settings everythi

Morning everyone, VMware vSphere 8.0 U2 is now available, with improvements to lifecycle management, AI workloads, and DevOps amongst others!https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2023/09/vsphere-8-update-2-now-available.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vsphere-8-update-2-now-available A quick reminder to all, Veeam Backup & Replication v12 only supports up to vSphere 8.0 U1 currently. Veeam can’t start their validation until the code is available so we’ll now see Veeam begin their testing process. You can check the status of vSphere platform support here: https://www.veeam.com/kb2443

Hello all,I'm just curious about license and how it counted.

Those file shares are also included?My license edition is: Enterprise Plusthanks,Ladislav.

Hello,I have an environment where I have a domain controller, a domain joined server with a sql server installed. I want to install veeam backup & replication on another server 2022. Do I need to join the veeam server to the domain?Best regards

Hello,Getting the following error when trying to run SureBackup in Veeam which is on a windows server 2019.“Error: VM was created with the later version of Hyper-V than the one installed on host.”The VM’s are configured with version 10 and they are on server 2022. Server 2019 supports only until configuration 9.0.Is there any way to run the surebackup for VM’s with configuration version 10.0 on this host? Thank you.

I learned a lot during the last few weeks about Veeam and I am kind of exited about this software. I resolved almost all problems, but there is still one issue I cant get a grip on. Ich have several backup jobs in a chain. No parallel Jobs. I have a lightning fast proxy (Veeam suggests a maximum of 24 parallel jobs).My persisting promlem is, that jobs get stuck absolutly randomly. Sure, after hours the stuck job fails, goes into retry1 and finishes successfull. But thats not satisfying… Is there anything I missed about jobs getting stuck? Just for your information: Jobs launch and run. They get stuck somewhere after 20%, 50% or 90%. So abolutly random… I recognized that the “veeam backup service” gets completly frozen. This service cant be stopped by anything else than a server restart.

Hello. Backups failing with message cannot take snapshot on physical server with CentOS Stream 8 and CentOS Stream 9. Please help me fix this. 

Greetings, everyone! Today we'll delve into the art of identifying basic file Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), crafting YARA rules to sniff out malicious actors, and seamlessly integrating these rules into Veeam Backup & Replication to safeguard our backups against potential malware threats. But before we dive in, let's take a moment to understand YARA and what its for. YARAYARA is an open-source malware classification tool used to identify and classify malware or suspicious files based on its signatures or rules. It is a powerful and flexible tool that allows users to create rules matching their organization’s needs or targeting specific threats. Moreover, YARA rules are like a piece of programming language, they work by defining a number of variables that contain patterns found in a sample of malware. If some or all of the conditions are met, depending on the rule, then it can be used to successfully identify a piece of malware. Indicators

Hey Everyone,VMware has recently rolled out the newest iteration of ESXi, version 8.0.2b. Among its fixes of fixes and enhancements, one particular fix should be called out: addressing an issue related to Changed Block Tracking (CBT) and virtual machines with a hot extended virtual disk.  In vSphere 8.0 Update 2, to optimize the open and close process of virtual disks during hot extension, the disk remains open during hot extend operations. Due to this change, incremental backup of virtual disks with CBT enabled might be incomplete, because the CBT in-memory bitmap does not resize, and CBT cannot record the changes to the extended disk block. As a result, when you try to restore a VM from an incremental backup of virtual disks with CBT, the VM might fail to start. For more information and to get the bits, head over to the
