I shared with the Community last week how to configure Veeam HA in the new VDP v13 BETA Preview. If you'd like to see those posts, here is Part 1 and Part 2.I want to switch gears a bit and now take a look at Veeam's new ability to create Custom Roles in the Remote Console. Before diving into this topic, as with my other posts…let me share a few disclaimers:> As is stated in my blog title, the build I'm using is a VDP v13 BETA build. Buttons, topics, f

 It's been a bit quiet around me the last few weeks. I am currently active in several projects, including two different customer infrastructures that start in the greenfield with V13 based on the Veeam Software Appliance and are in the fortunate starting position of having premium licenses in use. Thus, nothing stands in the way of the use of the High Availability / HA function.Important to know: Only the Linux Veeam Software Appliance can provide the HA feature and only in conjunction with the Veeam Data Platform Premium license!See Considerations and Limitations - Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide for general considerations and limitations when using HA.

Good day Running Veeam Community v12 with a VMWare environment. I am running a backup of 3 VMs. Since I installed Veeam I cannot do a backup copy of a job for one of my servers. The 2 other servers that I run a backup copy and send it in a remote location works but that server I always get this error: Processing [server name] Error: Times out waiting for NFS async IO block callback. Timeout: 180000 msec Failed to download disk 'filenameofserver-flat.vmdk'. Shared memory connection was closed. Failed to upload disk 'filenameofserver-flat.vmdk' Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}.Some restore points were not processed The local backup works but I cannot get the backup copy to workI created a different backup job for this server alone but I also get that error. The option I was thinking to do is to do a backup job just for this but i’d like to figure out why only that server on the sam

When i tried to restore my database using veeam explorer for oracle from a backup created using application aware processing i got :Failed to resolve path : /h01/oracle/agent/agent_13.4.0.0.0.  

Hello Community,I would like to check if anyone has practical experience or official guidance regarding the following scenario.Has anyone successfully presented a LUN from a Dell Unity array via Fibre Channel to either: Veeam Backup Appliance v13, or Veeam Hardened Repository (JeOS) with the intention of using that LUN as: a backup repository, or an additional backup disk for the repository? My main concern is related to the fact that both the Veeam Software Appliance and VHR (JeOS) are locked down by default for security and immutability purposes. I could not find clear documentation or a community thread that explicitly discusses: Whether FC-based block storage is supported in this scenario Any 

Hi All,Can you backup normal vms in Red Hat Openshift with VBR or do you need to use Veeam Kasten?Thanks,Benny

A question came up during a recent customer demo of Veeam I was hosting == Is a snapshot enough for a backup or do you need an actual backup. My answer was you should have both. In this post, we'll break down exactly what snapshots and backups are, where each excels, where each fails, and how Veeam ties them together into a strategy that actually protects you. Some will say snapshots are good enough. Others will say they're a disaster waiting to happen. The truth, as usual, is somewhere in between — but with an important nuance: "snapshots and backups are not the same thing, and you need both."Misunderstanding the difference between these two technologies has led to real data loss events at real organizations. What is a Snapshot?A snapshot is a "point-in-time capture of a storage state". It records the state of a VM, volume, or dataset at a specific moment — not by copying all the data, but by tracking *what has changed* sin

Special thanks to our dear Veeam Support Team Members Cosmin Ciobanu and Marius Nita for the following trick! Veeam Support is _always_ looking for ways to make everyone’s lives easier.Currently, to generate an HTML report for many sessions at once you need to go to the Session tab in the UI and ctrl / shift + click on desired sessions; not always convenient, and for Transaction Log backup sessions in particular you may have hundreds (if not thousands) of sessions.With Powershell and a bit of prep work, you can do this automagically: Preparatory Step:From a Windows-based backup server, copy the following filesCopyC:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\SessionReport.xsltC:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\SqlSessionReport.xsltto the following path on the machine where you will generate the report with Powershell:Windows:

Hi All,  Has anyone seen hotadd Linux (Rocky 9.7) VM proxies go sideways and not mount after upgrading to v13? I also added a new v13 appliance proxy and the result were the same.

Hello everyone,After upgrading Veeam Backup & Replication from version 12.3.2.4165 to 13.0.1.1071, we also upgraded Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft SQL Server using the ISO 13.0.1.1071, which installed Veeam Plug-In version 13.0.1.180.The upgrade process completed successfully without any visible errors.However, after the upgrade, SQL Server backups are no longer running successfully.All SQL backup jobs are now failing with the following error:Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server] Database is invalid or cannot be accessed Before the upgrade, backups were working correctly with no issues.Has anyone experienced a similar issue after upgrading to Veeam 13?Any suggestions on what to check would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone,I would like to get some advice regarding the optimal Veeam architecture for a two-site environment.Infrastructure Hyper-V environment Two locations: Vienna Novi Sad Sites connected with 1 Gbps IPSec tunnel Repository available in both locations Current components: Backup Server Hyper-V hosts acting as on-host proxies Repository Vienna Repository Novi Sad Current designRight now the backup jobs run like this:VMs from both locations → backup to Vienna repositoryThen we run Backup Copy jobs from:Vienna Repository → Novi Sad RepositoryThis means that VMs located in Novi S

Hello,I have to configure S3 Wasabi for the first time and I would like to be sure about the configuration.I will use it as backup copy repository with immutability.1) I create the bucket on Wasabi with versionning + object lock enabled2) I create a policy on Wasabi based on https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... positoriesI need the policy "Immutability Enabled and Helper Appliance Configured Beforehand" right ?How could I limit the policy only to the bucket "backupbucket" ? Because if I understand correctly, the policy in Veeam documentation has permission on all buckets.3) I create a new user and assign the policy4) I create the repository to veeam and set the desired immutability.I think I need so

Hello,Using Veeam 365 community edition, backing up our Sharepoint site always end with warnings of: Processing site: https://**********.**** completed with warning: Failed to backup item version: /********/********/********/.****, version: 2.0, Download timeout exceeded (last error: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host..). All retry attempts failed. Re-run the backup job to proceed. Total count of failed items: 17The file it stops on changes each time and the number of files, still backs up most data but it is never fully successful. We have 20 backup applications, the backup is running and downloading data but it’s average processing rate is only around 500kbpsAnyone else seen this, what other logs to check in Veeam or Office 365 or a fix? Running version 8.3.0.2201 P20251212 

Running Veeam agent for Linux, v. 6.3.2.1207_x86_64. OS is Mint MATE 22.  Been making weekly backups for a year or more, just now trying a test recovery on spare computer- loaded some files, ran b/u to ext. drive, deleted files.  Have Recovery Media on stick, using steps in user guide.  All good thru several menus until “Mount Local Disc” which brings up a menu “Select Local Disc” but there are no items from which to select.  Backup drive lights up, so recognized by system.  What am I missing?  

As we know VMCE will be retired and VMCA was retired, so anyone know what the new certication path now?

Hi teamCan someone shed some light on this and how best to go about it.We have Nutanix cluster A and Nutanix cluster B.VM have been moved from cluster A with Nutanix Move, which creates a new VM on cluster B and syncs data. My guess is that it creates a new UUIDThere is an existing backup to a Wasabi Repo from cluster A.How can I re-create/re-point the backups that are on the repo so that the copied VM on cluster B can continue to use the backups already there?I am not so sure if there is a remap function for this. I also cannot add vm from the new cluster to the existing job as it only allows me to select existing one. It appears that you select cluster first when creating the job.My guess is I may have to create a new job and let old one age out?

I have company policy to not use port 80 and i can see Veeam GatewayAPI was listen on port 80.Can we change this port?  

Hello everyone,We have some old tape backups in the VBR software under “Backups”.We would like to delete them (or at least remove them from the view) but I can't find an option to do this.This backup was on old tapes and this tapes are no longer available.Can you help me further? Otherwise I ll open a support ticket.Thanks.

 Veeam Pulse allows administrators to create and manage licenses through a centralized and streamlined workflow. The process typically involves accessing the Pulse portal, generating a new license based on the required product and subscription parameters, and assigning it to the appropriate customer or environment. Once created, the license can be downloaded or automatically synchronized with Veeam products, ensuring proper activation and compliance. This approach simplifies license lifecycle management, reduces manual errors, and provides clear visibility over usage and entitlements. This is the error you receive when using a licence in legacy format.Veeam Software Appliance does not support legacy-format rental licenses.

We've been running the Framework in corporations throughout the year.In this post, I'll share with you the main results and how this initiative has encouraged teams to work together to achieve the highest possible compliance. In early January, we started using the Assessment provided by Veeam. In our client base and new logos. Today, at the end of October, we've already surpassed 50 clients, guided by scope of work, documentation, numerous meetings, and excellent commercial results. After the Framework round, we typically move on to a series of Scope of Work and Commercial MovementThis has been quickly moving customers, distributors, manufacturers, and partners, and it's being treated with priority, according to projects already underway within organizations. Yet another reminder that backup, often seen as a dull necessity, once again proves to be the unsung hero when it matters most.
