my goal isI use veeam to back up my vmware vm machine to a NAS, and then I back up the backup files from nas to aws s3. Then I can directly read the files from s3 and restore the vm machine in aws.But I am currently encountering a problem. The backup from veeam to nas and then from nas to aws s3 goes smoothly, but my veeam cannot read the files backed up by nas in aws s3. Please tell me how to set it correctly.

 Using Veeam we can have various types of files. But do you know all of those file extensions? Here is a list of the main files: .vbm - backup chain metadata file.vbk - full backup file.vib - incremental backup file.vrb - reverse incremental backup file.bco - configuration backup file.lde - veeam explorer exported file.ldf - Microsoft SQL Server Log file

VEEAM 100 SUMMIT IN PRAGUE Last week I had the great pleasure to attend the Veeam 100 Summit in Prague Czech Republic.This event is the highlight of the year for the Veeam Community and the atmosphere and energy it creates is enough to keep one fueled with IT enthusiasm until the next summit.So what is the Veeam 100? Well I have described it before but such a great Community needs to be mentioned again and again. What’s more there is no reason why you too can’t join the Veeam 100 as well, either as a Veeam Vanguard or a Veeam Legend.The Veeam Vanguards“The Veeam Vanguard Program is Veeam’s top-level influencer community”.

Hi to everyone,I want to create a DR plan in AWS.Is there a way to restore a Domain Controller (Windows Server 2022) in AWS keeping all its configuration and function as AD, DHCP and DNS? When i try to restore it into the cloud, i’ve this error:Impossible join with these credential because your domain isn’t available….. Do you have some advice? Thanks. 

I’m using NetApp 9.12 just a cifs smb share. I followed the instructions from veeam to create the storage infrastructure for netapp and the subsequent NAS filer. I created a file to tape job to use vss and confirm that the snapshot is being created by veeam on NetApp. I have the virus scanning to exclude the directory based on NetApp’s published kb on excluding snapshots from vscan. What is the right format of '-paths-to-exclude' in 'vserver vscan onaccess-policy' command? - NetApp Knowledge BaseUse Snapshots to backup SMB File Shares on your NetApp ONTAP system (veeam.com)With vscan enabled veeam will just stop tran

Hi all, Currently there's no indication other then on the VBA appliance itself that there are pending updates. Therefore I created a PS script which we integrated into our monitoring system (N-Central) that pulls this data from the appliance. We get notified for pending updates and we can proceed to deploy them. You can find the script on my gist page: https://gist.github.com/BasvanH/cc7cb3974657bde5926af69869e73b0b Two variables are filled with the status:$pendingUpdates is a integer and filled with the pending update count$updateCategories is a string and filled with the categories of the pending updates. You can adjust the script to your needs. All the best, regards,Bastiaan

Hello,We had 13 Backup Jobs that were all started in the same time period from 21:00 to 22:00.VBR server had 32 GB of RAM and 10 cores. It was a VM.All Backup Jobs were with single VM inside of it.Was this good approach or it was too much for our VBR Server to handle.We didn’t have any off-host Proxies and VBR Server and 60% of VMs were on the same Hyper-V host.It was acting then as only proxy for those jobs as I can assume.What would be the better approach on this?I’m still trying to grasp Veeam with his technologies as best I can..

I’m using Veeam Community (free) license, and I want to use swapped external hard drives as offsite backup for my locally hosted repository.  But when I try to create a pruning Backup Copy job, it keeps saying I need Backup and Replication Enterprise Plus.  The descriptions I’ve read make it sound easy, but they’re all vague about what sort of license is required.  It’s like they are conflating “community” as a forum and as a license?  I absolutely cannot upgrade to a paid license.What am I missing?

Me again with new topic 😁At the moment our VBR Server is located on the Hyper-V Host where are also the 50% of VMs that we are backing up. Without Using Off-Host proxies I can guess that all load will come to Hyper-V host which is hosting VMs and VBR also.I guess that data movers from source VM and VBR are run on the Hyper-V host itself.What would be the best practice for placement of VBR?Is it good idea then to isolate it from the VMs that we are backing up or?I can host it on some Hyper-V Host which doesn’t have productive VMs or anyAlso then our off-host backup proxy should be physical machine or somewhere where we also dont have anything?

Hello Forum,I have question about few things so that I make the change as smooth as possible.The plan is to create everything from scratch because our current configuration is really awful and time for change has come.  Current Situation is like this:VBR V11 on Hyper-V VM Subscription: Enterprise Plus Instances: 20 (13 used) Inventory: 1 Hyper-V Cluster  2 Standalone Hosts Now I need to remove everything from this server and to transfer the license to the new one Questions:How to transfer the license? How to properly remove Inventory so that I don’t have problem when adding it to a new V12 VBR server? I know that few folks had problems when attempting to add the hosts to new VBR, something stuck on the old VBR etc. I will not do a configuration backup because I want every

Since upgrading to V12 VeeamBR (and having to revert to a snapshot due to critical error) I get this on every SOBR tier job. I have rescanned both the hypervs as well as the azure blob then ran tier job now but still get the same error every time  Backup file version mismatch: scale-out backup repository rescan is required.

What does Orphaned and Imported indicate next to Disk in Veeam Backup and Replication under Home tab? 

When attempting the restore I get the log into Microsoft with the device code and it connects fine, hit next and veeam errors out saying Failed to open mailbox: gives the name Mailbox does not exist. I can guarantee the mailbox does exist.

Hello. The question concerns the display of repository capacity in the Veeam user interface:In the EMC DD console, the capacity is displayed in TiB and is equal to 166.7 TiB. In the Veeam UI, after adding EMC DD as a repository, the same capacity is displayed, but with the TB label.If the size of repository is displayed in TB, then it should be approximately 182.5 TB.Is this a Veeam UI error?  

I’d like to first thank Rick Vanover, Madalina Cristil, Nikola Pejková, and everyone at Veeam for their efforts and support leading into my second Veeam 100 Summit. It’s a HUGE undertaking that requires many levels of coordination. This was my second time attending the event in person. It was an hon

Hello everyone.Am not sure if this is the write place to ask this..I forgot the encryption password i have set for my veeam backups, and i want to access the veeamBackup database to get the encrypted password and decrypt it as the online manual says. But as soon as i login to the database with sql server studio with the windows authentication settings, the Veeambackup is not accessible. The sa user is not active. This manual here ‘How to install Veeam Backup and Replication 11 Community Edition with a dedicated SQL Server | Veeam Community Resource Hub’ is exactly the same as my setup, but as soon as i get to the part there i am suppose to open the database VeeamBackup to see the tables etc, i get an error ‘The database VeeamBackup is not accessible’. Also added a s

hello,I would like to know, can we use backup copy to SOBR repository as a target ? Thank You

Hello, Thanks,My question is about Veeam catching memory errors during the backup itself.Sure, sometimes ECC can catch that.For example, Let’s say Veeam:Reads a sector from disk into memory. Whilst that sector is in memory, the memory is corrupted. Veeam writes that corrupted sector to the backup file.A Health check would not catch that.Does Veeam have a way to catch that, by re-reading the source sector again or some other mechanism?Thanks much,David   

Hi, Wanted to try and bring some of the magic of the Veeam 100 Summit to the Community Hub, as so much of Veeam’s success comes from the community! I’ll be blogging here each day bringing some highlights from the summit. Hope you enjoy it!

Hello, I will need to migrate my Veeam Backup & Replication (v12) installation to a new server because my current server is 2012 R2 and it’s not supported anymore as you know.My new server (virtual) will be a Windows 2016 and I want to migrate my Veeam B&R install the proper way in order to avoid loosing any “block change tracking” or things like that and have my backups and replications running the same as before on the new server because I have around 25 TB of data to backup and replicate and if Veeam needs to re-read the entire volume (instead of “change blocks”) that would be 48+ hours lost! 😵 Thank you!!
