I’m trying to backup one of our “workstation” but I am experiencing this error in our VSPC, why is that ?

This is the data shown in VSPC → Protected Data → Computers → Managed by Backup Server.Maybe I’m missing something obvious./protectedWorkloads/virtualMachines = on-prem virtual machines (vSphere, Hyper-V, AHV, oVirt, Promox)/protectedWorkloads/publicCloud/virtualMachines = cloud virtual machines (AWS, Azure, GCP)/infrastructure/backupAgents = agents managed by console 

Scenario: A user submits an urgent ticket - a very important folder has been deleted from the file server.IT will ask ‘when is the last time you saw that folder?’ and they usually don’t know.So, I fire up Veeam Backup and Replication. Click Restore > Microsoft Hyper-V > From backup > Guest file restore > Microsoft Windows.I’ll (randomly) pick a backup from 2 days ago. Wait (forever) for the backup to spin up; then navigate to where the folder should be, only to find it’s not there. So I close it and spin up a different backup set. I’ll keep doing this until I eventually find the folder and restore it. This takes forever.Is there a faster way to do this?

  Hello Community! If you’re a Veeam Cloud Service Provider (VCSP), you know the challenges of handling licenses for tenants. The old way of emailing .lic files, waiting for tenants to install them, and then verifying everything worked correctly is time consuming and prone to errors. It may work for a few customers, but as you scale, it quickly becomes unmanageable. This is where the Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC) changes the game. By integrating VSPC with the Veeam ProPartner Pulse portal, you can manage license distribution, usage reporting, and billing in a centralized, automated way. No more manual file exchanges and licenses are pushed directly into tenant environments with minimal effort. Think of Pulse as the master licensing database and VSPC as the control plane that brings those licenses to life in your tenants’ environments. In this post, I’ll walk through how this works and why it’s a game

Hello Community Members, I am just trying to figure following scenario but unable to put into action.Scenario:-I want to copy a SMB Share/SAN Intergration Full Backup job from last day of previous month i.e 29th of 30th etc. I cannot find an option to handpick a specific restore point from last day of previous month. I want to retain this job with two-year retention on tapes. VBR just offers to copy Full Backups via Copy to Tape but does allow to handpick specific full backups from a list of previous backup jobs/restore points etc. Is this functionality only available via PowerShell?       

Is there a way to search the Veeam database to see if a particular file is in a backup and which backup/s its stored in? I was taught to just go to disk, search the server name and then hunt & peck through backup dates until I find the backup that has that file in it. 

Hello, Veeam Community! I hope your week is going well.

We currently use Veeam B&R to backup the share’s to a local repo on the backup box. I then created a second job (agent) to backup the drive B:\backups to the clients VSPC repo. It works but when I attempt a restore of the cloud data its a restore of what looks like a database and not browsable files like a restore of the original B&R job produces. Hopping for a more elegant solution that doesn't require a two restores to get client data into a usable form. thanks and sorry for this being one of those out there kind of questions.

It is worth noting that Object First Out-of-the-Box Immutability (OOTBI) provides true data immutability and is very simple to deploy, as we will see shortly and addresses the issue of slow recovery times that can make ransomware attacks damaging to operations and reputation.I will recommend deploying an OOTBI appliance due to the pervasive nature of cyber-attacks on data protection infrastructure (backup). With OOTBI, you will achieve efficient data recovery, a user-friendly and cost-effective solution that can effectively stop ransomware attacks. As you all know, this storage solution was purposely built for Veeam.Before using this guide, read the following articles below  Plea

When a PostgreSQL database crashes, traditional recovery methods can mean hours or even days of downtime. Veeam's Instant Recovery transforms this process, getting systems back online in minutes.Here's how it works: Instead of waiting for complete data restoration, the database starts directly from backup storage. Users regain immediate access while data migrates in the background.The process unfolds in three key phases:Instant Publication: Database instance launches directly from backup Background Replication: Data copies to production server while users work Smart SwitchOver: Final sync occurs with minimal interruptionKey benefits:Minutes instead of hours for system restoration Zero data loss protection Uninterrupted user productivity during recovery Automated process management Minimal production impactWatch the complete technical breakdown of PostgreSQL Instant R

After about 18 months of many XCP-ng users making their voices heard on the Veeam Forums requesting Veeam to add Backup support, Veeam listened and has finally granted our request!...at least from a preliminary standpoint.  As a member of the Veeam100 Community, I was one of several approached about a month ago to perform an early Veeam XCP-ng Plugin BETA test, so I'm quite thrilled Veeam took feedback from us early BETA testers and modified the Plugin code to create a viable working Backup product for Public BETA testing. I was given the ok by Veeam to share my testing and thoughts on this Public BETA, thus this ar

The release of Veeam Backup & Replication v13 marks a major milestone—especially with the debut of the Linux-based Virtual Software Appliance (VSA). No more mandatory Windows licensing or server setup: Veeam delivers a pre-hardened, Rocky Linux-based appliance that promises both security and simplicity. Whether you want to deploy via OVA on your favorite hypervisor or ISO on a physical server, installation is refreshingly straightforward.What I Like1. Security and Compliance Built-InThe Veeam v13 appliance comes pre-hardened and DISA STIG-compliant, with SSH disabled by default. There’s mandatory 2FA for administrator and Security Officer accounts, and a new Security Operator role to approve high-risk actions (like deleting backup data). Automatic patching and managed OS updates by Veeam further minimize risk and maintenance effort.2. Deployment is Easy and Fast

Hi, I created “Backup Copy” and somehow is working if the Object Type is “Agents For Window Job” but not on “Repository”. Is there something I missed out ?   

Hello Veeam Team and Community,I’d like to clarify something about partner and certification requirements.If my company plans to: Provide managed services to customers who use Veeam Data Platform (for backup and recovery management), and Also act as a reseller of Veeam licenses (via authorized distributor), do we need to hold any specific Veeam certification (e.g. VMSP, VMTSP, VMCE) or reach a certain partner tier in the ProPartner program?Or is being a registered ProPartner and sourcing licenses from an authorized distributor sufficient?Appreciate your guidance so we can ensure full compliance with Veeam’s partner requirements.

Hello.I have three servers: one is EnterpriseManager, the second is VeeamBackup, and the third has the Veeam console installed. When I launch the Veeam console on the backup server, I get the error "failed to load license from backup services." I looked at the logs and see that the client versions match. I see that a connection attempt is being made, but the connection is being closed. I don't understand why. I tried TNC fqdn for the backup server - port 9392, as well as port 9396, and there were no errors..  I changed the names and IP addresses in the logs. I don't think they're needed for analysis.

Hello,VeeamONE till version 12 was using connection from VeeamONE to VBR on port 2805 to connect to Veeam Agent on VBR.In Veeam ONE 13 connection was exchanged from VBR to VeeamONE on port 2805, even VBR is on version 12.x.We had enabled only connection from central domain, where is located Veeam ONE, to customer domain, where VBR is located.So during adding VBR into Veeam ONE, Veeam Analytics Service (previously Veeam Agent) was installed, but connection timed out. Adding VBR failed due no response from Veeam Analytics Service - status “Failed to install”.
