Hello, Last night our backup job took much longer then normal Looking through the job history I saw one user with 51GB of data processed. This is very much out of the norm for him. I asked the user if they had done anything or added any folders and they are not aware of anything.My questions is, where or how can i see a log of the files processed, or even a compare feature from last nights backup to 2 days ago. I am just not able to find an easy way to see what was the 51GB that was processed.

As announced in VeeamON 2023, Veeam is working to improve the ransomware detection capabilities in two ways:Comparing guest file system indexes and looking for typical traces of malware. AI/ML to perform an in-line entropy analysis of the data stream on backup proxies to detect previously unencrypted data becoming encrypted.Some Ransomware detection techniques exist, but many have a poor detection rate. They also suffer from having high false positive rates, where they flag benign programs as malicious, and false-negative rates, and thus fail to identify malicious programs.The same applies to files where obfuscation techniques has been used by ransomware in an attempt to avoid signature detection. One of the most common techniques used is a CRC, which involves analysis of the value and position of a data group.On the other hand, detection techniques like Behavioral and Dynamic analysis must collect significant amounts

Veeam has recently been upgraded from 11a to v12. Post upgrade we cant get into the web interface for Veeam ONE. Client app works….I’ve checked IIS, local logs etc, cant see anything….anyone seen this?  

hello, can I use socket based licenses (currently in use on a VBR v10 server) for a new VBR v12 server? Or is there some kind of conversion/upgrade process involved?kind regards,Wim

Hi Everyone, I generally wake up in a good mood on Friday. Full of energy and ready to end the week and transfer myself in to relaxation mode. During these “feel good” moments I often find myself wondering about the “bigger” questions of life.This morning first thing I watched the weekly Veeam recap with @Madi.Cristil @MicoolPaul and @coolsport00 (notice both of the latter have “cool” in their usernames.. coincidence? I think not 😀). That got me thinking about the Veeam community and IT communities in general. I remembered what life was like before joining all of these great groups and came to the realisation that my IT communities, and especially the Veeam community, have become a very important part of my life. This has gone beyond the simple need for a technical source of information. IT community has added an enormous positive ing

I have a physical server with VBR 12 installed, the customer now also wants VBM and as repository the same as VBR, Say what against installing VBM on the same server as VBR?

Just had to troubleshoot a not-working Agent backup job. Up to now, everything worked fine. Since last night, job fails. Error shown: [Task failed. Error: Failed to connect to servername:11731]Even in logs this error is shown: The problem seems to be communication with port 11731. This port is used for agent-deployment. No changes were made to the firewalls in this particular environment. So this could not be the cause of the problem.After a short phone call it turned out that the account used to communicate with t

Hi! In this post, I describe some aspects of the analysis of entropy analysis associated with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques aimed at detecting Ransomware.This is an exciting topic. As announced in VeeamON 2023, Veeam is working to improve the VDP´s ransomware detection capabilities with AI/ML to perform an in-line entropy analysis of the data stream on backup proxies to detect previously unencrypted data becoming encrypted.It can undoubtedly be another powerful tool in the battle against ransomware.

Hi, I created new jobs to organize Exchange groups and Teams groups since my company was previosly configured to backup the whole organization, Now that the backup is set up and backing up for about a month is time to disable the original job, if I disable and delete the job, would that release the previously used licenses for any aditional user that is not on the new jobs ? Thanks in advance.

after the update to v12 there are legacy copy jobs, can i leave them as they are or should i update them and how?

Agent OS is CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core).Using a 3rd party cluster.Backup fails with the following error.What should I do? =====================ERR : Resource deadlock avoided.  

VBR v12 guest file restore---happen error message is as below:Secondary GPT header LBA 209715199 exceeds the size of the disk (86401630720)Agent failed to process method {Mount.GenericMount)I tried to change the mount server of the repository, but I still had no luck.Any idea? 

Is it possible to have Veeam 12.0 back up SQL Server system databases? If so where would I find it or please point me in the right direction to a document.Not being able to backup system dBs isn’t good. Thanks

 Backup Eagle logoIn my first blog post, I reviewed what Backup Eagle was and how it can monitor your environment. I also went through the installation process as well. Part 1 can be found here –Monitoring with Backup Eagle – Part 1The company graciously granted me an NFR license to test within my homelab – Backup Eagle by Schmitz RZ Consult GmbH.In this post, I am going to cover the Administration Console, including things like –Installing a license file Adding servers for monitoring Dashboards R

Also new in v12 is the Best Practice Analyzer in VBR console.  In Beta2 there are 6 tests divided into two categories: Security settings and product configuration. The individual points are self-explanatory.  I hope that more and more tests will be added to this feature in next versions.

Hi VEEAMers! Finishing deployment of our VEEAM environment with Virtual Lab/Surebackups and found built-in check are pretty basic and pretty much only checking if VM is listening on particular port after restore. It definitely helps to make sure the serve is not corrupted and functional but not giving any validation against if it was hit by ransomeware or not. What does (from my point of view) is if where will be built-in checks if particular file (most commonlt encrypted by ransomeware, VEEAM probably knows better - but I’d do .doc, .pdf, .7z, etc ) can be successfully open. Any improvements in that area in upcoming 12.1?Or maybe I am wrong and someone can point me out to the fact it has been already done and I just don’t know how to do it?Cheers,Alex. 

Hello,Feature request for ‘Veeam Backup and Replication’ client. When viewing/selecting an active job provide the option to ‘Follow’ most recent activity. This is helpful if you have a job active with many objects in the job from a visibility perspective.Currently, if you have a job with 20 objects being backed up and you select an object in progress, when the object completes the viewed object stays displayed instead of following to the subsequent active object being backed up.  Thanks 

I have disabled Template jobs and would like to exclude from disabled jobs alarm.

Hi, How can I add backup repository (Linux hardened) to Veeam office 365 backup?

Using Veeam to orchestrate storage snapshots is a fast, reliable way to have frequent restore points and quick restores.  Unfortunately, unlike a VMware backup, storage snapshots on databases are not application aware.  Restoring application items from a storage snapshot will often give you a blank explorer window. The first thing you will want to do is restore from the storage snapshot, and select a Host to mount the SAN volume on  With the explorer up it will look empty, but the volumes will be mounted to your PC.Click Add Store, or right click All Stores and Add a Mailbox Database   Next, we will point the explorer to the specific Exchange mail
