 In this guide, we will discuss the steps “Upgrade legacy VHR to Veeam Infrastructure Hardened Repository”. According to Rick’s naming convention of VHR generation one (1). This blog post aims to demonstrate the “steps to upgrade legacy VHR to Veeam Infrastructure Hardened Repository“.Upgrade Veeam Hardened Repository v2 to VIHRTo do this, please download the VIA ISO from 

Yes, this task was no longer straightforward, as the usual workflow for deleting or removing backup jobs tied to the repository, and for deleting the repositoy itself when it is no longer needed before removing the managed server. For some of the steps not discussed n this guide, please see, “Unable to Remove Orphaned VHR Repository v2 from VBR v13”.What happens when you no longer have the VHR v2 Server due to the reinstallation of VIHR? Note: The root issue here is that the transport service continues to run under the context of the veeamsvc. This means that the account must remain present on the Linux server. Please, see how to

hi, im using VBR 12.3 deploy on GCE on GCP, I have succesfully backup and storing on GCS and i want to restore into GCE, and finnally failed, i consider VBR using Cloud Build to atomate restoring. the same log from VBR log and Cloud Build History. I think GCP not using GC, now using Artifact Registry, and i checked the image import link, its totally empty. any suggest in this case? the same case i using VBR 13. 

In my home lab I want to experiment with the new Veeam VBR v13 appliance. On one hand to try it out before migrating at the organization I work for, on the other hand because I love to try new things out and thinker with it. So I use the ISO deployment method to deploy on a virtual machine on Proxmox PVE, that is a supported scenario as I read in the documentation. I go through the installation procedure, slightly annoyed that I can’t select a keyboard layout and have to type a difficult password on the wrong layout, but I can manage that 😉. On my first attempt I’ve set a static IP and a simple hostname (not FQDN) and disabled IPv6. I’ve chosen not to create a security officer account, since it’s just me anyways. The option is there to skip, so I assume it’s supported. After completing the process, I can access the host management on port 10443 just fine using IP address or using the hostname(created a DNS record for it). However the normal webUI on port 443 is not responding

We are experiencing an issue with Veeam Agent for Windows. During restore (source Azure Blob), only 100 MB/s is consistently written to the disk, but the network throughput fluctuates. It appears to me that a limitation is in effect. I rule out a limitation in our infrastructure. What could be the cause?

Having updated to Proxmox VE 9.0 below. There is a need to upgrade from  Veeam Plug-in for Proxmox VE build 12.1.3.217 to plug-In build number 12.1.5.17 to support it.The Proxmox VE Plug-in integrates the backup server with the Proxmox VE server and enables worker deployment. From version 12.3.1 and above, you do not have to manually install this plugin.You can download the Plugin for Proxmox VE directly from the referenced link, or navigate to the release Information for Veeam Plug-in for Proxmox VE v12.1.5.17 in the following KB article.

In the current Veeam Backup & Replication V13, a daily software updates summary is sent automatically.According to support, this can only be disabled as an “AI-powered summary” in “Veeam Intelligence Advanced mode.”Can this be disabled in all editions, please?

Hyper-V has been around over 16 years initially released with Server 2008. It can run on most hardware and either on hyperconverged or distributed infrastructure. Since it is based on Windows Server, it can be managed easier with a graphical UI which is familiar with most technical staff. However, that also comes with the stigma that it is Windows 😀, plus Microsoft had announced the end of Hyper-V as they transition to Azure Local until the Broadcom announcement and then they reversed that decision.From a use case perspective, it can be used in small distributed (ROBO) deployments or large-scale hosting and Veeam has current customers that reflect this. Microsoft used to have a self-service portal via System Center Service Provider Foundation but that has been discontinued and now there are third party solutions like Hosting Controller or Cloud Assert. It is highly recommended to utilize System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) for centralized orchestration and fabric ma

 I am getting the environment prepped for upgrade to 13.One question i had is on the Windows agent…Should i upgrade them before or after upgrading to 13? Thanks! 

Greetings everyone, as you know I have been working on Grafana Dashboards across all Veeam RESTful APIs (the only one pending is VBA GCP), but as the time has passed, the releases and core products I was using have evolved as well…I am talking about the time-series I am using to store all the recollected data from the APIs. I was using InfluxDB v1.x (latest stable release is v1.8), but InfluxData is about to deprecate it and consider it end-of-life at the end of 2021. That left all the Community using it with the only option to go to InfluxDB v2.x, and start leveraging Flux, the new query language, which is extremely versatile btw.Introducing the new Grafana Dashboard for Veeam Enterprise Manager for InfluxDB v2 using Flux, and Grafana 8.xBefore go any further, I just wanted to thank

What more could you ask for as an IT systems administrator? Devolutions is a big deal. I once created a blog post on how to Install and License Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager on Mac“.On top of the above, ​@Rick Vanover has shared this tool with us multiple times to empower us and significantly boost our productivity..Today, I present to you, the steps on “

Hi teamI was tasked with creating a new repo in Azure and setting up new backup policies.I have created policy per service (Sharepoint, Teams, Onedrive, Mail)Services other than sharepoint have finally completed but sharepoint is not playing nice.It appears not to be progressing and been at it for nearly 7 days.Any idea what the issue could be? I have stopped all other backups for now but makes no difference.Any thoughts?  

Hi allI was wondering if it is possible to create a backup job of a VM, without having access to the VM Host Server. I have installed Backup & Replication on the VM client itself, connected a backup repository, but when I try to create a backup job, it asks for the IP and admin credentials of the VM Host. Thanks for your help

Hey guys,I am facing the following problem: a client wishes to change services for copying their backup data. They currently use Azure Blob. They are considering several other services including Wasabi. They would like to recover their annual archives if possible.I know that through Veeam we can use the Move function to move backups, but we have more than 10 TB of data and I'm afraid it will take an enormous amount of time without guaranteeing data integrity. Currently, they don't have immutability enabled on their Azure bucket and wish to activate it on their next bucket.Is it possible to copy only archives without copying everything?

Hello Veeam community !I’ve just released version 3.3 of the M365 Generator tool.One of the new features is an MCP server that exposes M365 Generator actions as tools, making it possible for Claude Desktop (via its MCP connector) to take agentic control of generated M365 assets.It’s pretty fun to ask your LLM to generate data in your M365 tenant with no clicks needed! 😁Claude Desktop and the free subscription do have some limitations, but I’ve shared how to work around those and connect to my MCP server in this blog post: https://home.point4.fr/lets-make-it-even-easier-an-mcp-server-for-the-m365-generator-tool/You’ll also find some example pr

We are having one VM fail in our surebackup job, which is set at 7200 seconds for maximum allowed boot time. The VM runs twice, once it fails as running at 600 seconds, the second runs at 7200 and is a success. How can this be, 1. VM gets selected twice, and runs at different config in the same job. We are running VBR 12.3.2.4165. Thanks all….

I currently need to migrate my system from VMWare to OLVM, but I can't find an option for instant recovery of a virtual machine from VMWare to OLVM. I also can't find anywhere I can use this feature to recover a virtual machine from one OLVM to another.

TL;DR With Veeam Backup & Replication v13, every PowerShell cmdlet now goes through the same service layer used by the REST API and Web UI. That layer enforces request throttling. The tape cmdlets are extremely chatty, so when scripts call them in quick succession (as most reporting scripts do), you’ll hit TooManyRequests.Fix summary: Wrap tape calls with a retry/backoff helper, prefetch once (no calls inside loops), and serialize tape inventory access (don’t overlap reports, rescans, and tape jobs).  What Changed in v13? Veeam v13 moved PowerShell off the old .NET Framework RPC and onto .NET + a service backend shared with REST and the Web UI. The upside: one consistent platform. The downside: you now inherit API-style throttling that didn’t exist in v12.Symptom:

Upgrades - at least with Veeam - usually go smoothly. But every now and then, one catches you off guard. After upgrading Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) to version 13, we ran into an issue that completely blocked access to the VBR console.I’m sharing this here in case it helps others who might hit the same problem.The Problem: No Console Access After UpgradeImmediately after the upgrade to VBR v13, the Veeam Backup & Replication console refused to connect to the VBR server.Instead of the expected login screen, we were greeted with a certificate error. What made troubleshooting especially confusing was that the error occurred regardless of how we tried to connect: localhost server IP address fully q

Hi ALL,I would like to ask for assistance with the following scenario. I am planning to purchase two StoreOnce systems and use Veeam as the backup software. I plan to use Catalyst and Backup Copy jobs to transfer backup data from StoreOnce #1 to StoreOnce #2.My question is: in this case, assuming that there is already existing backup data on StoreOnce #2, if a new Active Full backup is approximately 100 GB in size, will the data synchronized be the full 100 GB, or will only the changed blocks from StoreOnce #1 be transferred to StoreOnce #2?In other words, will this behave similarly to the replication of two NAS shares on StoreOnce, where only changed blocks are synchronized?”Thank you so much.RgdsHieuht
