Anyone using VONE make note of this recent issue with SRM in VMware.  See the following KB.KB4260: Object Properties Collection Task finishes with the "fail" status when VMware Site Recovery Manager is used for monitored vCenter server(s) (veeam.com)

I know there is a related topic with the same problem but that one is for version 5.0.0 There is a known problem with Windows 11 and the installation of Microsoft SQL Server where the engine will not install unless it is installed on a different drive or VHD.I understand Veeam Agent for Windows uses SQL Server technology which is probably why it fails to install.Question 1: Is Veeam working on a solution independent of Microsoft?Question 2: I installed SQL Server 2019 Express with support for local DB but Veeam Agent for Windows still fails. Is there any way to have Veeam use the existing (operational) engine instead of attempting to install its own SQL engine? I read somewhere that they are using SQL 2012 but I haven’t tried preinstalling that version.Question 3: Is there any way to trick Veeam into installing on a different

HelloHope you're all doing well these days.I work for a company in Spain and I would like to ask you about an issue I’m facing with archive offload to AWS S3 storage.We are currently performing backups on a capacity tier (AWS S3) without issues but archive tier offload is failing.

If anyone is looking for version numbers Veeam has now updated the KB site with the newest CU patches noted in my previous post.  Just in case you want to know what version you are on. 

Hi folks, recently some KBs were pulled out.This is last one, and very helpful to anyone is having fun with Windows 11.Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows can't be started or installed after upgrade to Windows 11https://www.veeam.com/kb4259There’s already a topic about this (thanks @Chris.Childerhose): But I wanna share some more info about it, and maybe talks about Windows 11 and if it’s ready to production. I say no.Apparently there’s a problem with MS SQL LocalDB instance that can’t start automatically if system disk sector size greater than 4 KB.There’s even a Docs by Microsoft for this:

Hi, I am backing up VM’s from single ESXI server. At present I have 2 VM and backup runs daily. I notice one VM backup has RED Flag/Play sign.What does it mean, anything to be worried of ? Where can I get read all of the ICON details ?  Thank you. Dwija

Twas a few days before Christmas and Veeam decided the sysadmins around the world had been good all year long, they’d tested their backups, met their RPOs and had earned an early gift. So Veeam released the Veeam Agent for Windows & Veeam Agent for Linux 5.0.2.Veeam Agent for Windows Download LinkVeeam Agent for Windows 5.0.2 Release NotesVeeam Agent for Linux Download Links

Hello,I’m wondering what are you using for hardening Operating System?In my company we’re using:https://www.open-scap.org/ for Linux with profils from french cybersecurity agencyhttps://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/security/threat-protection/security-compliance-toolkit-10 for WindowsI am convinced that hardening should be mandatory in production, don’t be afraid to deploy it with your images. It works very well for Veeam Servers.PS: You should never deploy the hardening after deploying the app, you could meet horrible bugs.

Veeam released a new Cumulative Patch for Veeam Backup & Replication 11a: 11.0.1.1261 P20211211Includes a lot of new platform support and a few fixes. See detailed release notes:https://www.veeam.com/kb4245

The new version of Kasten K10 (4.5.6) supports now to store persistent volumes images into VBR repositories. So, the integration of K10 and VBR gets on a new level...There are some requirements to get this working. See the new KB article for further information.https://www.veeam.com/kb4258

Hi guys, I have a query. I am planning to upgrade from v9.5 to v11, the current license which I am using in v9.5, can i use the same in v11. And please don't reply with a link which leads to upgrade to v11 which I have already read and I have a confusion which is why I am asking. 

Merry christmas to all Veeam community members and all you love and care for. Have some nice and quiet holidays.A happy and good year 2022 to all of us. 🎄 

Hi guys,I have a query. When configuring a replication job, we specify a repo to store replica metadata. Where is the replica metadata repo located? in source or target site?

A little help would be appreciatedWe have old VMs (Debian 8) which replicates without problems.But the replication on new VMs (Debian 9) is corrupted, half of the services like SSH or UFW no longer open.The only difference is that the old VMs are Thick and the new ones are Thin.Is it possible that VEEAM Free does not support Thin VM replication? If yes, what can I do?
