I'm experiencing problems with M365 backups, where the speed is around 14-16MB/s when only backing up mailboxes. The bottleneck seems to be the source, according to the job analysis. Is it normal to have this throughput when backing up mailboxes from M365? Can disabling EWS and PowerShell throttling improve the speed in this situation? What speeds are others achieving in this regard?

I have a new installation of Veeam Backup & Recovery and I’m trying to add an Azure Stack cluster. I’ve tried adding it as a Hyper-V virtual infrastructure but this fails with a very generic permissions type error / node is not a cluster error. The account I’m using has domain admin permissions.I’ve been unable to find any documentation on how this should work. Has anyone experience of this? Andrew

How to take backup over the Inernet? what is the process ?

Edited properties of Proxy, compiled successfully. Rebooted Proxy server but still the same issue.

If I backup two Linux appliances (VMware ova) in different backup jobs which have the same SSH fingerprint name but different values so the backup jobs take it in turn to fail after I have trusted the untrusted SSH fingerprint.  They alternate between being trusted.Is there a way for Veeam to trust both or do I need to look at changing the name on one of the two appliances? 

You might or might not know this, but Wasabi does have a minimum storage duration policy in place.What's that?Depending on your pricing model, each uploaded object will be billed for a minimum amount of time.Pay-as-you-go customers have 90 days, reserved capacity customers (pre-paid) will have 30 days.If you delete an object before this minimum duration is over, the remaining time will still be charged.You can find more information on this website:https://wasabi-support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058734492-How-does-Wasabi-s-minimum-storage-duration-policy-work-ExampleYou upload 1TB of objects to Wasabi and have the 90 days minimum storage duration policy in place. After a week you decide to delete the whole 1TB.This means you pay for:7 days timed active storage 83 days timed deleted storageCan I recover deleted objects?You might think, that as you pay for deleted objects, you may be able to recover those. Unfortunately this is not the case, so you can’t use this as a recycle bin.

Hi There, I deployed Oracle Plugin for Linux to use Oracle RMAN database backup but during the wizard in repository section it didn’t list all repos that I’ve got it only show the default veeam repo but the SMB share repo not shown in the list ! Did I miss something here in the configuration? Coz I want the backup to be stored in SMB share repo not the in the disk of the veeam server. Thank you

Hi,backup server is running 2x10Gbps NICs and it is in VLAN with Netapp iSCSI AFF device. I have also 1Gbps network card for management purpose.  Also these two network cards are in trunk so they are doing 20Gbps now (at least I think they are doing it :-) )Integration between Netapp and Veeam is configured using management ports of the Netapp which is in different VLAN reachable by this 1Gb NIC from backup server. So, I can see snapshots on Netapp but backup is being done slow (probably using 1Gb NIC). How to force Veeam to use these 10Gbps NICs instead of 1Gbps NIC? Is there a KB for this integration to read how to setup this?Thank you.

We are currently trying to set up the notifications for Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure, for this we have created a shared mailboxModern Authentication: is set upStatus: AuthorizedWe receive the message: Failed to send a test email: The mailbox is either inactive, soft-deleted, or is hosted on-premise

Hello! I’m using Veeam Agent for Windows 6.0.2.1090 (free edition) for my backups. I have it set to hibernate my PC after the backup is completed. However, I find that even though the wake + backup + hibernation is successful, the next time I wake the PC after a backup, shortly afterwards, it hibernates without me doing anything. It happens even if I leave the PC on the login screen. I’m on Windows 11 Home 22H2 and see Event ID 187 in the system logs when this happens: <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">- <System>  <Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power" Guid="{331c3b3a-2005-44c2-ac5e-77220c37d6b4}" />   <EventID>187</EventID>   <Version>0</Version>   <Level>4</Level>   <Task>243</Task>   <Opcode>0</Opcode>   <Keywords>0x8000400000000404</Keywords>   <TimeCreated SystemTime="2023-12-16T19:31:19.2224598Z" />   <EventRecordID>6270</EventRecord

I am trying to upgrade Veeam B&R Community Edition from v10 to v12.1 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 physical server. During the upgrade process System Configuration Check the result shows that Microsoft Powershell v5.1 requires a reboot, and the installation process will continue after reboot. After I reboot the installation process begins again from the beginning, resulting in the same message. So this has created a loop. I manually installed Powershell 7.1 but it appears the OS considers this a separate version from the original Powershell 4 version. So it doesn’t appear that the B&R installer realizes PS 7.1 is installed. How do I get around this installation loop? I have tried uninstalling B&R and starting from scratch, but the same issue appears. TIA

Backing up the OS on a W10 Pro system, to USB RDX cartridge. Backs up the C drive, WinRETools, then hangs backing up a 10.9GB restore partition at 10.8. Been going for over an hour and a half this try. Tried letting it go overnight and it stopped with a red x. Also tried backing up just a 10GB Folder and it completed and then said there was no restore point when I tried to “mount” the backup to restore a file. These were just test runs, will probably just wait and try again when there is another version. Not sure if anyone else had seen such.  

I have a situation to change the Veeam secondary old repository to Linux Hardened repository, Below are the details; I have installed RHEL in DR Server I need some guidelines in Scrips to configure the Linux Hardened Repository (RHEL 9.2)Moving the backup from old repository to new one without any impact

Hi All,required your help on this issue.We are trying to add a RHEL 8 installation (physical machine) as Linux hardened repository.It fails with error - Veeam transport installation fails on Linux repository. There no ports block or firewall blockingWe are working per article https://www.veeam.com/kb4250, but any other leads  .  

Hello to all,It’s me again with the new topic. 😁I have question about Retention Policy.How the chain is going to be deleted?As I try to figure out it should be when the file is created and from that day it will be available before the retention policy in my case “14” days is over.On the 15th day it will be erased or?This is my current settings: I have active full backups on the first Friday.We are doing full backups on Friday and the rest is incremental.Can someone give me more information on retention policy and also on the Synthetic full backups periodically.Thank’s to all the forum users.Probably the best forum in my opinion.  

Dear All,Our Veeam backup version is 12.0.0.1420 P23230718 and Veeam Agent version is 6.0.2. we want to  veeam bare metal recovery but see the error “Saving restore logs Error: Error in the application”, please advise and thank you 

How to retain VMs brought up using VDRO longer than 7 days?In order for us to retain the VMs past 7 days, we decided to basically stop Veeam services on our VDRO server. Needless to say, our VDRO is inoperable at this state. We’d like to bring it up and not affect the VMs that were created. So I think, this means that we need to modify entries in the VDRO database to “cleanly” remove this from VDRO but un-touch on the vSphere side. We can rename the objects in vSphere but not sure if this would work since VDRO may be using object IDs in its DB instead of object name.  The VM involves is a big DB and just running a DB check took about a week and after this a patch needs to be applied necessitating another check that is why we need it longer than 7 days.  Thanks for the ideas and suggestions. I have also opened a low sev ticket with support and will share what they recommend.  

Is there a way to set/adjust  the spacing on the Veeam O365 job reports?  Seems like a lot of unnecessary word wrapping going on.

Hi, I recently updated vcentre and had to create a new backup task as the old one was no longer working. However, I noticed that veeam backup created many orphan files as a result of each backup and I have to go to vcentre to consolidate these backup.  The files are named as MyVM-000001-ctk.vmdk, MyVM-000001.vmdk and it goes on for a while till in my case, 000046. I also note that there was some information displayed - “MyVM has stuck VM snapshot, will attempt to consolidate periodically” I am on veeam backup and replication version 11. This was working well previously before the vcentre upgrade.  Thanks in advance.

hello,I’m a little bit confused about application aware processing on veeam, what is it for actually  ?, for example, if I have database (MS.SQL) on my source backup, do I have to enable AAP on it , so I can also backup & restore that database. or do I have to install plug-in on source backup ? Thank You
