Hey guys,I am trying to get a Veeam Restore report from Veeam One Web client but I am not finding Veeam backup & replication widget. Can anybody suggest what should be done next?

Is there a way to test the encryption key on backups without having to run a restore? I ran into a situation recently where the encryption password did not work on restored data. I want to setup Enterprise Manager for everyone, but in the interim, I’d like to manually test each encryption key and reset it/run a new full backup if need be. Is there a way to recover an encryption key with Service Provider Console?

Hello Team,Quick question - Does the Veeam Replication Re-IP concept work only for VM with Single network adapter?What if the replicating VMs has multiple network adapters? The Re-ip cannot be used?Thanks in advance!~ Ravi Kumar S

While I was studying for the VMCE, a detail on deduplication caught my attention.I’m talking about inline deduplication. What's about?Inline deduplication is a feature offered by Veeam B&R and it’s used to reduce the amount of storage space required to store backup data by removing duplicate data. One of the main benefits of inline deduplication is in fact that it can significantly decrease the amount of storage space, amount of time and resources required for backups and this can be especially beneficial for organizations that generate a large amount of data on a regular basis.   Another advantage of inline deduplication is that it can improve the efficiency of backups, ‘cause backups can be completed faster and the amount of data that needs

 Today’s post is a direct result of experience in the field, and it was certainly an interesting one!I was recently working with a customer that wanted to migrate to the Veeam Availability Suite. They had an Enterprise SAN solution that they were using for booting their VMware ESXi hosts, in addition to storing their workloads on. The customer’s virtual estate was large, with some servers that were highly transactional, and a great candidate for storage snapshots.Everything was going well, until I performed the storage integration with Veeam, and hit a severe issue. after performing the storage rescan, all of the ESXi hosts within the cluster suffered a PSOD near simultaneously. I’ve certainly never seen that before, and upon asking all of my peers in the wider Veeam community and even some Veeam technical contacts,

This script showcases just how easy it is to use Veeam PowerShell cmdlets to export an M365 mailbox. This script is designed to be executed on a Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 (VB365) v6 server and it's interactive so no parameters are required. Upon execution, the script polls for information which culminates in the specified user mailbox being exported to a PST file.The code in this script could also be referenced to create a script to fully automate the mailbox export process.For more detailed information, please follow the VeeamHub link:https://github.com/VeeamHub/powershell/tree/master/VB365-ExportMailboxToPSTHere’s a screenshot of what it looks like in action:

This has been a hot topic since some time: With administrative access to the VBR server, credentials stored in the configuration database can be decrypted.That may sound critical at first, but one shouldn't forget the important detail 'administrative access'.Veeam stores its credentials in an encrypted state using the Microsoft Data Protection API and a Machine key specific to the VBR server. This is a security standard and a safe way of storing passwords, while enabling the Veeam services to use those for authentication.And just like the services, an administrator can access and decrypt the credentials.This is no secret and Veeam has even published a KB article on how to recover credentials from the configuration database: https://www.veeam.com/kb4349And again, please remember that this requires administrative access to the backup infrast

Colleagues, Anyone knows how to enable that checkbox by Powershell? Trying to build 100% powershell deployment and can’t find how to enable that settings.Cheers,Alexey

Hi, everyone! I have a weird error popping up in a replication job for one of my client’s and I need some insight. We have a replication job with a number of VMs that are replicating to a local repository. For some reason, the job has started failing and saying the job can’t continue because the replica has been found in an inaccessible state. I’ll paste an example below. I have tried rescanning the repositories and rescanning the managed servers, but no luck. Retry of Replication job finished with Failed. Job details: Failed to create processing task for VM Error: Found replica VM *** with connection state inaccessible. Cannot proceed furtherFailed to create processing task for VM *** Error: Found replica VM *** with connection state inaccessible. Cannot proceed furtherProcessing *** Error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. Failed to write data to the file [\\.\***Drive]. Failed to download dis

I have two sites a HQ and a remote office on the opposite coast that are connected via VPN, both are running Veeam B&R on a local server at each location to perform local backups. They also do a pull replication of each other for DR. I’m also running Enterprise Manager at HQ. How can I script the server(s) so that the remote pull replication job runs AFTER the local backup job so that the snapshots don’t overlap? I was hoping to use Enterprise Manager to trigger the job to run after the backup completed, but it can only see the local jobs, not the remote ones.

Hello Community,you probably already use the Powershell scripts shared with the community and run them unattended. In the past, unattended sign-in required you to store the username and password in a local file or in a secret vault/txt-file that’s accessed during run-time. But, as we all know, storing user credentials locally is not a good security practice. Microsoft will also disable access via Remote Powershell (RPS). See the following link for more details: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/announcing-deprecation-of-remote-powershell-rps-protocol-in/ba-p/3695597So why not hit two birds with one stone?The MissionThis post will talk about how to configure Exchange Online Certificate Based Authentication (

Version 12 of Veeam B&R is nearly hereif you haven’t registered yet: https://go.veeam.com/v12and so is our desire to try it in our homelab and play with it in the evening, after dinner. It may happen that we dust off an old workstation with enough resources but one or more Realtek network cards.If we install Hyper-V, everything will almost certainly go smoothly. And in case we wanna install a VMware ESXi solution? Well… We gonna have some headache, thanks to the lack of official support for that hardware. In fact it’s common that network cards remain offline.This mini guide can come to your rescue.You need at least 1 network card operative. If you already have the necessary .vibCreate a datastore and upload the VIB on your host.

Recently I got this error below during the Oracle redo log backup:Oracle redo log errorMy backup job configuration is about a Veeam Linux Agent in an Oracle Linux and the application aware was configured to backup logs with 15 minutes interval and delete logs older than 24 hours:Application aware configurationThis kind of configuration is very common on critical databases and I have this same configuration in various environments.So, the first thing I assumed is that the cause of the problem was not on the Veeam side.Looking on Linux side I discovered that the user used on Guest Processing configuration needs to be part of the oinstall gro

I’m prepping for the upgrade from Veeam v10 to v11.  I have 80+ RMAN clients that use the Veeam Plugin.  The documentation says the RMAN clients plugin version should match the VBR server version.  Do I have to upgrade each client one by one?

hello,i have two Vmware Clusters now both in 6.7 version i want to upgrade to 7 version but for some hardware reaseans i can’t upgrade replication cluster. i already have a replication job in veaam replicate VMs from the master cluster to the replication cluster, my question is if i upgrade the master cluster to 7 version is the replication will work ???? 

Hi All,I have a question about completing replication jobs if the replication windows exceeds.  For the initial replication, Veeam will transfer the base full size of the replicated VM. Let's suppose it's a huge size VM and initial replication did not finish in the repli action window.When the next schedule run, will Veeam start transferring from the beginning for the initial full or incremental replica that does not finish, or it will continue from the stopped point abd replication does not take another time and size? I have read about (resume disconnect) but need to make sure from the experts? https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/replica_resume_disconnect.html?ver=110Let's suppose the replication window from(17:00-23:30) only. Thanks

The Veeam Legend programme is due to have its second intake in the coming weeks/months, and I wanted to put together a small collection of resources for people to find out more about this amazing sub-community. What is the Veeam Legends Programme? The Veeam Legends programme is at its heart, a Veeam community, its a sub-group of the wider Veeam Community Hub & R&D forums’ users. It was created as part of the ongoing recognition that Veeam wanted to give to its most active Veeam experts within these spaces.The Veeam Legends programme is one of three sub-communities within the ‘Veeam 100’ collective, with the other two being Veeam Vanguard and VeeaMVP. But whilst Veeam Vanguard focuses on external evangelism & activity, and VeeaMVP celebrates Veeam staff that contribute externally to the Veeam community, Veeam Legends is focused on Veeam platform-based activity. Are there perks to becoming a Veeam Legend? O

We’re using Veeam as a backup to Office365.  Our old-school owner wants to backup on-prem and periodically take a snapshot of the DB and bring it home.  We also are a small shop and don’t have a dedicated NAS.  What we do have is a compact i7 with plenty of RAM and a USB 3.0 port.We put a 1T PNY flash drive on it and it worked for about a month.  Then we started getting JetDB errors.  We put in a ticket and have been going back-and-forth with support (they have been responding nicely and it’s appreciated.)We’ve tried several solutions, seemed to be making progress but after the last iteration, they think it’s the drive.  I asked for a recommendation for a good set of specs but they couldn’t give me one.Is anyone out there using a Flash drive as their primary repo store?  If so, can you tell me what brand/model you’re using? Thanks in advance!  Scott.
