Hi,I’m trying to configure HA on my Veeam Backup Server. Has anyone seen this or ran into a similar issue? I can ping both servers from IP and FQDN. Both have DNS entries. I ran through the pre-requisites of allowing HA to be configured from the Host Management, Now, I’m at a loss ..any ideas?  

Hi Community, good day! In my article, you will find information about some conditions that may prevent upgrading from version 12.3 to version 13, such as:Unsupported OS for the VBR server; Unsupported SQL Server version; Unsupported .NET version; Old components still registered (Cloud Connect, Enterprise Manager, Console, Agent, Plug-ins); Legacy license type, and more.Here a small table that can be used as a reference to organize the upgrade process in the best possible way; keep in mind that this is just a small example based on a very simplistic scenario.  Build a table like below:ScenarioVBR 12.3 on Windows Server 2016 SQL Server 2016 VMware ESXi 7.0 U1 Windows Server 2016 ReFS repository 

I was trying to upgrade the Veeam Enterprise Manager to v12.3.2.4165, I noticed the version is showing 12.3.2.3617 on the Upgrade page.I view detailed information about Enterprise Manager and its components, the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Service build: 12.3.2.4165Veeam Catalog Data Service build:12.3.2.3617Web Site Information Build: 12.3.2.3617bugs?

Hi there,I’m currently in an greenfield V13.0.1 deployment, based on the Appliance.After enabling Remote Access in the Host Management Console of the VBR system - it’s mentioned, that this will be enabled after Security Officers approval and for 8 hours… We did this yesterday. This morning, 12-14 hours later, it was still enabled.  Unfortunately I didn't checked, if it’s only a visible bug or if the service / or Port 22 is really still open. I will check this tomorrow and give another feedback. If this is the case, I will open a support ticket for it.Have anyone seen the same behaviour? Thanks and best, Markus

hello Hi, can you help me please? I have a problem with a SureBackup job in Veeam version 12.3.2.4165. When creating a script, I entered an invalid character, and Veeam let it through, but I can't delete, modify, or disable the job. I've already entered several scripts via PowerShell, but it won't delete the job. Any ideas on how I can delete it?  

This is my first blog, I’m a Team Lead and Sr. Solutions Architect for the Data Protection Practice at a Veeam partner. I work in their Solutions Lab where I provide pre-sales support and product demos for several data protection products including Veeam and Data Domain.

Recently my colleague Claudio Fortuna published a new Best practices guide for Veeam Recovery Orchestrator, here  https://bp.veeam.com/vro/ Although considered a team effort, I can say Claudio is the main driver and author so thanks for his effort. It breaks a bit with the traditional best practices as it is more a knowledge base then a complete best practices. At the same time it does include a lot of interesting things like Clean room best practices which Claudio pioneered in the first place.But next to this release, the solutions architect teams has also updated the theme of the best practices in general. This has been a major overall so hopefully you like it. It does feature a dark mode. For the light mode, we have opted for a blue contrast color to enhance accessibility. Because of this complete overall, you might have to do hard refresh on the best practices like the 

 Veeam Backup and Replication v13 is now in the wild, and for service providers running Cloud Connect this is not just another point upgrade. It is a major platform refresh that touches the core backup server, gateways, explorers, agents, and the tenant facing control plane. With v13 bringing stronger security defaults, modernized components, and several legacy features finally retired, VCSP partners should plan their upgrades early so tenant adoption is smooth from day one.I recently upgraded my Cloud Connect environment from 12.3 to v13. In this post I will walk through the upgrade flow exactly as the wizard presents it, with short practical notes at each stage. The focus is simple. What to verify, why Veeam is asking for it, and how to avoid tenant impact while moving your Cloud Connect stack cleanly onto v13. Preparing for the upgradeBefore starting the upgrade, there are a few best practice steps you should complete a

Hi Community, Those currently using the Google backup appliance for GCP environment backups, have you recently encountered this type of update behavior? Previously, updates were applied automatically with just one click and also option works Schedule updates through the updater, but now I see an update prompt like in the attached screenshot.  Has anyone performed this update recently? If yes, please share your experience and any best practices.I want to plan this properly and avoid any disruption.

I get the error “30.10.2025 09:52:47 Error    [veeam-infra.infra.local] Failed to synchronize update settings. Error: Cannot provide with host's certificates - PhysicalHost does not exist for host 'veeam-infra.infra.local'                             b4634265-9228-4a5e-9d95-2c12313e89c6”This server has already removed from veeam configuration. Powershell-command “get-vbrserver” does not return this server… How do I fix this? 

Hi Community, We have a Synology NAS storage in our environment and would like to confirm the following: Is there any possible way to add Synology NAS storage to Veeam Backup? After adding Synology NAS storage to Veeam, is there an option to send data from Synology storage to Google Cloud Storage (Object Storage) through Veeam? Please advise if this approach is supported and share any best practices or documentation that can help us implement this. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi teamI am tasked with implementing new repositories and I have to move backups and backup copy created by AHV.

Protecting modern workloads requires efficiency, security, and rapid recovery. HPE StoreOnce plays an important role in the Veeam ecosystem as a purpose-built backup appliance that delivers high performance, global deduplication, and immutability for enterprise environments. While HPE Storage Servers have long been popular with Veeam architects, StoreOnce remains a strong option for customers who want a scalable appliance with aggressive data reduction for a Veeam repository. This blog takes a practical look at how StoreOnce fits into a Veeam-powered data protection strategy. We’ll explore how it supports the 3-2-1-1-0 best-practice model, how Catalyst integration and source-side deduplication reduce infrastructure load, and how Catalyst Copy and Cloud Bank Storage extend protection off-site and into the cloud. We’ll also examine immutability

I have been working on a case with Veeam Support to do with HA Clustering and not being able to enable it due to this warning -HA Cluster warning about local repositoryIt turns out somehow I tried to enable HA and then in one of my SOBRs added a capacity tier which was the cause of this.  The recommended solution -Remove the Capacity Tier (Wasabi in my case) from any SOBRs - I only had one in this case with a Capacity/Archive Tier. Enable HA Clustering which now works Add the Capacity Tier back to the SOBRs as neededWhile not the most ideal solution it works.  I asked them to check KBs or Help pages to see if this is mentioned and if not get this added as a note or something so users are aware.  Lots of testing so it was good to find this one and get a solution.

Last month I was blessed to have been able to attend my 6th Veeam100 Summit. Since I started 1st attending in 2018 (2020 was a no-go, and 2021 was a hybrid event), the venue has been held in Prague, CZ, with the exception of last year where it was held in Berlin. Though I enjoyed Berlin last year since I'd never been, I was really looking forward to getting back to Prague. It's such a beautiful city and there is certainly no shortage of places to see & go. But of course, the main excitement for me was to be able to meet up with fellow Veeam100 Community members and be given the opportunity to chat with various Veeam Product Managers.Like most years I've attended the Summit, I arrived in PRG on Sunday. Sadly, the weather wasn't too great (rainy), but no matter. First day arrivals are typically reserved for getting my bearings straight so to speak  getting to my room, cleaning up, and meeting up with other Community attendees for a late lunch/early dinner and catch up

Veeam Backup & Replication v13 has arrived with significant improvements in security, performance, and data governance. I recently performed the upgrade from version 12.3, and in this article I share the entire process, from preparation to post-upgrade validation, following the official Veeam documentation. The goal is to present a practical, real-world experience while highlighting what’s new in this anticipated release. Preparing for the UpgradeBefore starting the upgrade, I followed Veeam’s recommended best practices to ensure a smooth and safe process. This included: Checking system compatibility, supported OS, storage repositories, hypervisors, and all backup infrastructure components. Ensuring no backup jobs were running. Updating the Guest Catalog and cleaning up old sessions. Performing a Configuration Backup, which stores all settings from the Veeam server.

So it's been a few weeks after my return from yet another excellent Veeam100 Summit in Prague. This marks my 3rd visit to Prague, and I'm not getting tired of the city at all. On the contrary, I keep discovering new things to do and visit new places. This was no different this year.First of all I must thank Rick Vanover, Madalina Cristil, Nikola Pejková, Safiya Mohamed, and everyone at Veeam for creating such a unique event. Nowhere else in the Industry do you have such access to Product Management and can ask questions and provide feedback. I have seen Veeam grow from somewhat of an underdog over 10 years ago to the market leader it is today, and this is still true today.This summit was definitely focused on the release of version 13 (I think the biggest release yet, the amount of features is mindboggling) and Veeam's acquisition of

Hello.I tried to uninstall 6.3.2.1205 on Windows Server 2019. Control panel / Uninstall programs... Uninstallation reported that there are more users logged in. I clicked cancel uninstallation. Veeam disappeared from list of installed Programs. When I tried to install 6.3.2.1302 the error pops up »The installation cannot be updated automatically. Please contact Veeam support for assistance with manual update. «I did several reboots. I removed Veeam folders from Program Files and ProgramData, I removed Veeam key from registry (Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam). Still “cannot be updated…”How can I convince Veeam Agent installer that I do not want to update. I just want to freshly install or repair installation.Regards, Tomaž

Can we get backup status for VDC M365 using powershell like in VBR?

Backup Job using Storage Snapshot Unable to Find Ontap SnapMirror Relationship for Secondary Target. Backup finished with Warning: Cannot find any relevant ONTAP SnapMirror and SnapVault relationships   Storage Replication between the Source and Target destinations is working. I was looking at the job log and saw that Veeam was able to identify Primary SnapProtections.   There were lines showing WARNING: Replication of all disk snapshots of vm asdasdfasf is not possible for ‘Snapshot Replication’. Thanks again for your input as to possible reasons why this is happening.

Hi everyone,Earlier this year, I was honored to achieve the Veeam Legend status. I knew this was a great recognition, but I didn't realize it would open the door to such an incredible experience: The V100 Summit in Prague.Walking into the venue, I wondered: What will it be like to meet the people I’ve only known as avatars in the forums? It felt like meeting old friends instantly. The barrier between "experts" and "newcomers" just didn't exist.I am especially grateful that I was able to share this experience with my friends ​@lukas.k  and ​@Dynamic. They were the ones who encouraged me to try and get into the V100 program in the first place. Being there together with them made the whole trip even more special.My Absolute Highlight: The AMA Session While the deep dives were great, there was one specific moment that stood out above everything else: The AMA (As
