Here is the text from the e-mail received from the server:Failed to preprocess target Error: Failed to call RPC function 'FcWriteFileEx': Incorrect function. Failed to open fileDoes this look familiar to anyone? If so.. how did you resolve it??Thank you for any Help, 

Just a question really simple… What do you like most about Veeam Backup & Replication?What is the main feature on Veeam that completely drive you crazy?  

As @eprieto did already post an excellent 3-part series of new v11 tape features. I want to highlight 3 small other features here.Tape Consolidation As Esteban already explained, it is possible to copy tapes in v11. But Veeam put wood behind the arrow. You can use this feature to copy more old-generation-tapes to a few new-generation-tapes. In my example I used LTO2 as source and LTO6 as target.Select tapes you want to consolidate.You can also select tapes by media pool in wizard.Select the target device and target media pool.

I work pretty heavily with backups in my current role, and we use your product and another product with some of our clients. The other product has a feature that is incredibly helpful and I think would be an amazing feature to add to Veeam. How feasible would it be to add a “Force Retention” feature? I really believe we need this for situations when we run into low disk space. In Veeam’s current state, if I run into an issue where I need to reclaim disk space, I am forced to break my backup chain and delete data. If I could lower retention on my backup and then force retention, that would effectively eliminate the need for me to have to lose data and break a backup chain. For example: if I am in a situation where I am getting failures due to low disk space, and I have retention on said backup job set to 30 days, if I could cut retention down to, say, 20 days, and force retention, I could maintain my current backup chain and then address the disk space issue accordingly

Dear Veeam Technical Community, By now, I’m sure you are all aware of the planned launch of the next major release of our flagship solution Veeam Availability Suite v11 on the 24th of February (Click on the link to set up a reminder to join the launch event). In the meantime, I’d like to collect a list of any specific topics that you would like to see any deep-dive technical contents from Veeam for, either in the form of blog posts here on the community hub, or on our  frequent Veeam product webinars etc, in order for you to understand the new Veeam products and  solutions or their key capabilities better? Can you please share your asks via comments?  To get you started, I’m guessing the below V11 specific topics would be of interest? Continuous Data Protection Immutability via secure Linux repository

Hello, I have a question.I have a scenario with a server, it has Veeam Backup Community installed and makes copies locally.I would like to add an external copy on a server that is now deprecated, and I would like to use for copies.I have tried to get Veeam Backup Agent for Windows to be recognized on both servers, but it is only recognized by one, the one doing the installation.Is it possible to make copies of the same server from two Veeam Backup servers?Thank you all.

I am not the container/Kubernetes guy - working on it - but it looks like, Veeam made the right decision to acquire Kasten for Kubernetes Data Protection! It is named as one of the 3 leaders in this area. Looking forward to put hands on.https://blocksandfiles.com/2020/11/14/gigaom-kubernetes-data-protection/
