Happy Friday everyone! I couldn’t resist making a v12 themed fun Friday considering it’s launch week! For those that have used v12 already, what’s the first feature you tried?

I am currently using Veeam B&R V11a. I also just installed Veeam One. As part of Veeam B&R, I have several windows servers which have the “Veeam agent for microsoft windows” agent installed. None of the servers  with “Veeam agent for microsoft windows” agent are showing up in Veeam One. The data collection method for Veeam One is set to “Veeam Backup Data only”, would I need to change it to a different “Data Collection” mode?

Hi Just to inform that there is a vulnerability in the .NET core runtime.This is installed for the Veeam AWS, Azure & Google plug-ins.reference: https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2021-43877updates: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/3.1Please update your Veeam servers. Regards

I am building new physical server running Ubuntu. System is installed on hardware RAID controller. Installed VEEAM agent, made full backup. Booted up from Linux Media (unpatched), restored all volumes and after reboot server can’t boot any more =( Any suggestions?Cheers, 

Hi guys,I am starting to set up CDP replication on Cloud Connect with Veeam 12.The source and target environments are hosted on vCD.I have installed I/O filter and configured CDP proxy on both sites.However, when I go to create a CDP policy to the cloud host/provider, I have no storage policy selectable in the destination.What is not clear to me is if and how I need to apply the VM storage policy on the VMware side .According to the official Veeam documentation (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/cloud/cloud_replication_limitations.html?ver=120#cdp) the custom storage policy for the CDP should be automatically imported from Veeam to vCD, but unfortunately it is not present in my vCD, and the one that Veeam creates by default on the vCenter is not associated with any datastore.Unfortunately, at the moment I haven't found any other references related to these configurations, and before going to make VMware-side changes I wanted to

Hi dear Veeam community, i’m wondering if it’s possible to migrate the configuration database to a PostgreSQL DB on a Ubuntu host?Can’t find anything about that.I’ve setup the db but i’m facing an error:  The port on the ubuntu is listening, credentials are correct.Does someone have a clue?Best regards :-)

Any gotchas/considerations you would like to share?

V12 Launch Event banner. Launch date of February 14, 2023, is listed, along with the V12 and Veeam logos.Hello Community,Here’s a space for discussions on the V12 Launch Event! We would appreciate your thoughts on the event :)  What V12 capability are you most anticipating? How do you plan upgrades to Veeam Backup & Replication? SNARK - Do you tell your boss you are upgrading? How long do you wait before upgrading? Do you set a test lab for upgrades?  

Dear All,I wanted to host Veeam M365 repository on Dell Data Domain CIIFS Share (SMB2.0).  I am completely aware that Veeam M365 doesn't support SMB2.0 and being a jet blue database, it has performance impact also.  Does anybody has some workaround wherein I can backup onto primary Veeam M365 repository and then it should move the data to either CIIFS or NFS? NOTE: Don’t recommend Veeam best practices.  Regards,Sunny

VMware announced the list of 2023 vExperts last Friday. You can visit the vExpert Directory to see the list and profiles of each vExpert. May I know if any Veeam Vanguards or Legends have been selected for vExpert this year? Please share your profile if you can.My profilehttps://vexpert.vmware.com/directory/155 

Service Providers, FYI, looks like licensing is going up slightly for 2023… As we look to close out the year and kick off fresh in 2023, we’re excited to recap some recent Veeam® enhancements and share some future ones. Q1 brought you Veeam Service Provider Console v6, which included licensing and usage reporting integrations to further enhance your Microsoft 365 data protection capabilities. In June of 2022, we kicked off our new partner directory, aimed at driving prospects and customers to our partner community. We’re seeing an average of 10,000+ unique visitors on this page monthly — a huge win for our partners! Our latest Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 update included integrations and enhancements for our Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) community (i.e., Self-Service Restore portal). Speaking of enhancements, Veeam is committed to continuous innovation and has multiple product and platform re

Hi guys, for those who have installed the RTM version, I report that the patch is out: https://www.veeam.com/kb4415 Marco S.

A few years ago we were a Service Provider with a Cloud Connect setup and offered our customers Cloud Connect Repositories. We then saw tjen object storage really started to take off it would be costly to maintain a datacenter with this service compared to the prices object storage was offered by the hyperscalators! We then started a partnership who ran Veeam Cloud Connect environemnt with service provider console. so we could still track and monitor our customers backupjob etc. but the backup now went to the object storages. I am just wondering, is it necessary to deploy a cloud connect environment at all to just use the service provider console for monitoring jobs, update the agents etc.? I can see in the marketplace (Azure) there is a dedicate appliance with the service provider console. Would that be enough to maintain our clients? We are now using Wasabi for repositories. I guess I am having a hard time to see what we would gain from the cloud connect envir

Saw discussions around this subject elsewhere, and thought it would be good to get the community’s thoughts around the subject. WIth direct to object now possible in v12, would you continue to use/recommend BCJ leveraging Veeam Cloud Connect Backup repository (with Insider Protection) or would you switch to BCJ to off-prem object storage (leverage immutability).Keen to hear peoples pros/cons. Have at it

Hi all,today I updated my Veeam Agents Free for Windows to the new version 6.x. I read about this version is no longer using SQL Express LocalDB and this is also written in the release notes. But looking in the installed software the SQL Express LocalDB is still installed.So I’m asking if SQL Express LocalDB is still needed for the Veeam Agent Free for Windows?Thank You and Kind Regeards

Hi everyone,So as you can see, I have a valid Veeam.com account and I have had it for several years now. But a few months ago, I was in the midst of some important task and logging into Veeam.com to download some software, when I was suddenly presented with a form to do… something. I can’t quite remember exactly what the purpose of it was, but Veeam wanted some additional information from me, for some reason. This included an email address, which was extra confusing since Veeam already had a valid email address for me on file. So I gave it junk data, including the email. After that though, I’m now presented with a form to verify said junk email, and I’m not allowed to access my account information until this has happened.I’m assuming I’m not the first person to have done this, since

Hi all, During the V12 event there was an on-demand content video about Veeam-Man: Master of the Dataverse! If you haven't seen it, it's belowAs far as I have been told, the “ad” tells you that the action figures are sold separately. But, as one might expect it isn't (officially) available.  

Greetings,Below is a part of Cohesity's multi-layered protection against a ransomware attack as mentioned in the Cohesity datasheet, there is a document for best practices when configuring carving regular repositories and/or SOBR from Cohesity to the Veeam Server and this is can be done over SMB or NFS protocols. my question is if we followed these best practices, can we leverage Immutable snapshots and Datalock from Cohesity with Veeam Backup?  also I read this on Reddit:
