Hello everyone,In version 12.1, it could backup Object storage to Veeam Repo. However, does it means to backup only Cloud object storage? or it can backup on-premise object storage like Nutanix objects as well?

Surebackup can’t be run in the same time if the backup job is running, what about the new mode of scanning only, would it be the same?

In today's data-driven landscape, where information reigns supreme, safeguarding data against potential threats and ensuring its swift recovery in the event of an unforeseen disaster is paramount. Among the array of strategies that bolster robust backup and recovery protocols, data classification stands out as a foundational element that often dictates the efficacy of these practices. Understanding Data ClassificationAt its core, data classification involves the systematic categorization of information based on its sensitivity, value, and criticality to an organization. This process assigns labels or tags to data sets, enabling businesses to prioritize their protection efforts, allocate resources efficiently, and adhere to regulatory compliance requirements. Classification typically involves labeling data as public, internal-only, confidential, or highly sensitive, among other classifications, based on predefined criteria. 

Hello Everyone,As I know in the new 12.1 features, we can restore app items from CDP. How could we enable application-aware here? and which applications should be supported? because 12.1 documentation still not available yet.

Do backups and restores stop working ?

Hello my friends,Everyday, I have backup files of VM1 from Cloud ABC Provider.The request is : how to automatically restore from that backup file to on-prem ESXI everyday?The purpose is BA department does not want to connect directly to live DB and they only need to export / use data with Day -1.Is there any function of Veeam to support me? I am using Veeam Agent & Veeam BR free edition but if there is such function above, I can ask to pay licensed one from managers.Thanks and have a nice day.Kenny. 

With the newest release V12, Veeam Backup & Replication is now capable of implementing immutability with HPE StoreOnce Catalyst stores. HPE calls this ‘Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Controlled Data Immutability (ISV-DI)’. With this post I want to quickly describe the requirements and configuration steps.RequirementsThere are some requirements, that need to be met in order to use immutability with StoreOnce systems.you need to have a Gen4 StoreOnce system with at least firmware 4.3.2 you need to configure Dual Authorization Maximum ISV Controlled Data Retention needs to be set to 365000 in the StoreOnce Catalyst Store you need to use forward incremental backup jobs and/or enable GFS for Backup Copy Jobs → For more information check the

The Veeam backup server operates on a 1-gigabit network, while the VMware proxy server and the data domain storage are on 10-gigabit networks. Despite this, the backup speed is consistently reaching only 270 to 300 Mb/s per second. Is there something overlooked in this setup? Additionally, would incorporating a WAN accelerator result in any performance improvements for the copy job over the WAN link?

Hi team:I have a question about the backup to tape:I have a job that backs up vm to tape which works, however when the tape is full, it asks for a new one to continue and continues without problems. The issue happens when doing a restore since it asks for 2 tapes and my unit has 1 tape. If I have only one drive, how can I make the job detect that the tape is almost full and request a new one? Regards,

Hey everyone,Just a quick one from me here, I was playing about in my lab installing Veeam B&R and Veeam ONE v11a (because, why not?!), when I hit a strange issue. I’d snapshotted my VM prior to installing Veeam ONE so that I could revert back and try different methods (and play with automation). The first time I installed Veeam ONE, it worked PERFECTLY. Next day I revert the VM and tried to install it again, and I got an error that it failed to create the website and wouldn’t install!It seemed strange that a virtual machine I’d powered off before snapshotting would have two different outcomes when in both scenarios I booted the VM up and installed Veeam ONE in an identical way.So I started to dig into this and found the problem was caused by a dependency. When Veeam ONE installs, the following dependencies are required:Microsoft IIS ASP.NET 4.5 Component .NET Extensibility 4.5 Component Default Document Component

After upgrading from V5 to V6 FREE Agent, my backup speeds significantly dropped. From 232 MB/s down to 15 MB/s. V5V6 

I’m using Veeam Agent 6 (free).I had to do a fresh install of my computer and did a file level restore to get my most important files back. Afterwards, I started a new backup chain.I still have the backup from my old computer, which is 1 x .vbk  and 22 x .vib files. I’d like to keep just the latest restore point, synthetically merge it into a full backup (.vbk) and discard the old restore points. This will likely save 40 % of the space that the old chain currently occupies.I know that Veeam Agent can do that with an active backup job and VBR can import old backups and I can manually trigger it. I hope I can do it with Veeam Agent and an old backup, too, somehow. How?

Buongiorno, qualcuno può aiutarmi a capire l’errore Veeam indicato qui sotto?Premetto che ho già eliminato il job e rifatto…. ha funzionato per qualche settimana poi si è ripresentato… praticamente sembra che veeam non mi permetta di eliminare i vecchi backup.I dati della VM vengono copiati ma ho questo errore che non capisco.Grazie 

The following post can also be found on my blog - Veeam ONE - 12.1 Upgrade Veeam ONE - 12.1 Upgrade Veeam released the 12.1 update back in November 2023, and with it comes upgrades to most components, including Veeam ONE.

Hi all,A user formatted his laptop as revenge to his company, but a valid endpoint backup was taken using Endpoint agent backup for workstation to a dedicated S3 object storage bucket.So we’re out of meta-data but should have 7 valid backup points in Object Storage. Now I want to get FLR from this backup with minimum effort, so I was thinking of adding the Repo in an Existing VBR 12.1 and import the backups from there.Attaching the bucket: no problemSyncing the repo: no problemImporting backups from the bucket: problem :-( I get the message: Failed to synchronize Object Storage <Object Name> Folder does not exist.Anybody tried this before ? Another path could be to install the Endpoint agent on a donor machine and try to connect from to the repo and perform restores…

hello everyone,I have already made a sizing of tape consumption using https://calculator.veeam.com/vbr/ & https://rps.dewin.me/rpc/ withTotal Data :109 TB & backup policy daily : 6, weekly : 4, Monthly: 12so i want to know that, how many tape cartridges LTO9 do i need for a month ?is it right if i use formulain the first month :Full (120/18 = 7) + Incremental (30/18=2) + 3 weeks (180/19=10) + 1 month(60/18=3) = 22 Tape Catridges LTO 9in the second mont

Following on from the last topic on the enablement framework, it is appropriate to share what is planned to date. Hands on Labs:There are currently 12 Hands on Labs on ProPartner Portal (PPP) of which two are only accessible by the portal and are partner specific. One lab being created currently is a Veeam VBR Health Assessment which will show what Veeam One reports to focus on as well as other tools that may be of assistance. The aim of this lab is to give confidence to a partner who has not offered this as a service, therefore encouraging partner/customer communications.In addition, the How to Install and Configure a Veeam Backup and Replication environment (PPP Only) lab will be upgraded from v12 to v12.1 shortly. Partner Bootcamps:

Hi team:I have a question about the next:I have a windows server that contains certain files that I want to backup to veeam.I have already done it with the veeam agent and I have no problems. However, I want to copy the same files to tape.I have read the information about File - to - tape option but how do I apply it without in my case I have a single tape drive which is already backing up VMs.Regards, 

I’ve read agent based backups ae limited to maximum of 999 restore points per job. Does NAS file share backup have a maximum number ?

I’m curious are many of us using vCD in production?We have it but are still quite new into this journey and slowly starting to pick away at the features available. We have self-service enabled for backups and are looking to explore cloud connect DRaaS into vCD in the near future.Do you have plans to deploy vCD to add value to your VMware deployments?Has the acquisition by Broadcom affected any future plans to deploy it?

I have a 5 TB file share on Windows. Should I back this up using agent backup or File Share backup? I  have a backup copy job to send backups offsite. Currently doing file share backup with retention time set to 4 years. I think the agent based backup would take up more repo disk space (multiple vbk files)?

As the first official post to the community. I wanted to share the Veeam UKI Partner Framework in terms of strategy, not only engagement but to build & enable around Veeam Solutions.  In 2023 this inception was developed (as well as commenced) and today we are executing against the framework for 2024.The intention was not too overcomplicate but keep it simple. Therefore there are only three pillars: (1) Partner Solutions Engineering Bootcamps(2) Partner Solutions Briefings(3) Strategic Initiatives Being part of this community you are already engaging with one of the strategic initiatives. Also, you may have attended the first Veeam UKI Partner Bootcamp last November 2023 in London. I certainly hope everyone has tried the Hands on Labs via

I am trying to do agent based backup of a Windows file share cluster. However when the job is set as "Failover cluster" job mode I can only select the entire volume to backup.I want to select particular folders on the shared drive to backup. Is this possible ? 

I did an agent based backup of a windows computer and the “servers” license count increased by 1 instance. I deleted the backup data but it the server still shows up in the license report.How do I release it ?
