Is Surebackups Virtual Lab on the to do list to work with Proxmox?

Hi teamI am tasked with implementing new repositories and I have to move backups and backup copy created by AHV. It seems that moving AHV backups is not supported with VEEAM move feature.I wonder what the best options are here and what I need to be aware off?The existing repo are configured to not use per machine-machine backup files.The old repos will be decommissioned once all data has been migratedMuch appreciated 

Question : What is the process to retrieving configuration backup from the Veeam Software Appliance [VSA] default repository and restoring them to a different VSA? for context looking at the bash shell of the VSA. the configuration backup files are stored inside following volume./var/lib/backup/VeeamConfigBackup/<servername>/Example:  

With this post I want to highlight the community again as we held our 1st in-person Veeam User Group event in Cologne yesterday. This was a curious one for us, because it was the first time we rotated and went way north in Germany and leave our sweet South and Southwest spot. However, it turned out we almost had 60 in-person attendees and only 4 no show attendees which is a huge success and the biggest success in our eyes. This means the Veeam community is really working, people love to attend the VUGs and get together. We couldn’t be more proud !A HUGE THANK YOU to our sponsor Scality who made sure we can have such an amazing venue, food, catering, a barista (!) and drinks throughout the day. A simple amazing effort which we highly appreciate ! Furthermore a huge thank you to Veeam, especially to everyone who supports the Veeam Usergroup behind the scenes. We also had a massive representation from the german Veeam100 people which is always a blessing to see !Special thanks also go out

Greetings friends! Today I want to share something that has been on my mind for a while, and I finally decided to tackle it head-on. If you're running Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 with object storage (Wasabi, AWS S3, Azure Blob, or any S3-compatible provider), you've probably asked yourself:"How much space is each user actually consuming in my VB365 backup repository?"And if you're like me, exploring the Object Storage, you've also asked:"Wait... who is that GUID? And why is there data from an organization I deleted months ago still sitting there?"Spoiler alert: I found several GB of orphaned backup data that I could safely delete. But more on that little adventure later. Let's go!The Challenge: Understanding What's Really in Your Object StorageHere's the thing. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 stores backup data in object storage using a folder structure based on GUIDs. If you've ever opened your S3 bucket or Azure container and looked inside, you'll see something like this:Veeam/Back

hi While running a demo for a customer i was trying to add a new Org into my VBO serverWe come across this error message around config Exchange Web Services (EWS), I’ve personal not seen this message before when adding an new ORG. However this the 1st time I’ve tried adding an org into version VBO 8.3, for context i’m using Modern authentication. Error messageproduct version  

When running self-hosted applications in a homelab or on-premises environment, HTTPS is often the first thing to fall through the cracks. Self-signed certificates trigger browser warnings, and public certificate authorities like Let's Encrypt require your services to be internet-accessible. The solution? Run your own internal Certificate Authority.However, this is not a difficult problem to solve. Just setup an internal PKI using Step CA running as a rootless Podman container, then extend it to issue certificates for services on your network. In this first part, we'll focus entirely on getting Step CA up and running — initializing the CA, configuring automated certificate issuance, and setting up a systemd timer to handle renewals without any manual intervention.Create a new podman network for step-capodman network create ca-servicespodman network lsCreate a CA volume and Quadlet (quadlets are the preferred method for starting Podman containers:podman volume create step-camkdir -p ~/.c

With the High Availability feature in Veeam Software Appliance 13.0.1, Veeam provides a neat way to make the backup server highly available. In this blog post I’ll briefly show how to configure HA, which prerequisites must be met, and what alternatives exist if HA cannot be used. Intro - The Basics The feature itself reduces downtime of the backup server in the Veeam Software Appliance. In general, two nodes are required; they can synchronize even across relatively high latencies. A manual switchover is possible, and a major advantage is automatic updates for both nodes. The goal is to offer fast disaster recovery without the need to keep a dedicated standby backup server, and then finally to restore the configuration backup. (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/high_availability_hiw.html?ver=13) Requirements The following components are required for this feature:  Two Veeam Software Appliances At minimum, Veeam Data Platform — Premium licensing (the package that includes

In the final article of this three-part series, we’ll explore how proactive operations with Veeam can help organizations reduce downtime and enhance data protection.By the time you reach this point, things feel different.You’re no longer chasing failures.You’re no longer guessing recovery times.You’re not constantly reacting to alerts.Instead, your Veeam environment starts to feel… predictable.That’s the goal.But scaling proactive operations isn’t just doing the same things on a bigger environment.It’s about operating with intention, consistency, and confidence—no matter how large things get.This is what that actually looks like in practice. 1. Health Is Measured, Not AssumedAt scale, you don’t rely on “it looks fine.”You rely on metrics and trends.What you know at any given time:Job success and warning rates Backup window utilization Repository performance and latency Growth trends across all storage tiersThe difference:You’re not asking:“Are backups okay?”You already know.Because you

Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) and Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM), both part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP), have officially reached end of support as of 14 April 2026 (today). From this point forward, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, bug fixes, or compatibility assurances for these tools, similar to the lifecycle outcome observed with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).Organizations that continue to rely on MBAM and AGPM must now assess risk exposure, validate operational dependencies, and define a transition strategy toward supported alternatives to maintain security, compliance, and long-term manageability.To help you transition away from MBAM and AGPM, I have outlined practical and supported alternatives in the following guides. These articles provide a deeper dive into modern solutions and implementation approaches you can adopt moving forward.https://techdirectarchive.com/2026/04/14/agmp-extended-support-ends

IntroductionTo enable monitoring of your Veeam Software Appliance (VSA) with VeeamONE, the Veeam Analytics Service needs to be deployed on the VSA.The Veeam Analytics service not only enables communication with Veeam Backup & Replication servers to collect data but also allows to send remediation commands.Since the VSA is secure by design (hardened Linux-based OS, DISA STIG compliance, automated patching…) and that it enforces Zero Trust principles with role-based access control, SAML SSO, and certificate-based pairing, it is important to know what are the available options to connect VeeamONE securely. In this article, we will cover 2 methods of connection and highlight their pros and cons:Via the Veeam Analytics Service Offline BundleORManaged by VeeamONE via the Data Source Wizard Connecting to the VSA with the Offline BundleThe advantage of using the offline bundle is that you don’t need to store VSA credentials anywhere. Simply hand off the bundle to your Veeam Backup and Repl

Choosing the right object storage for backup and ransomware protection is not just about capacity — it’s about immutability, compliance, operational simplicity, and cost predictability.Here’s a clear comparison of three common approaches when using Veeam Backup & Replication: ✅ Veeam Vault (AWS/Azure)Designed as a managed STaaS offering, Veeam Vault delivers always‑on immutability, built‑in encryption, and a logical air‑gap by design. It integrates natively with SOBR and Capacity Tier, offers predictable per‑TB pricing, and removes infrastructure management overhead from the customer. ✅ Native AWS S3 / Azure BlobProvides strong integration and scalability, including Object Lock / immutable containers and support for compliance mode. However, immutability and air‑gap depend heavily on correct configuration, IAM design, and governance. Pricing is consumption‑based, which can introduce cost variability (“bill shock”). ⚠️ OCI Object Storage (S3‑compatible)While usable as an S3‑compatib

Dear AllGreetings!!!I fany one face this issue please let me know.Server Error in Veeam one - One or more critical product files have been modified. Please roll back the changes, or reinstall the product.After login into Web console of Veeam One i am getting this error message.Running Version is : 13.0.1.6168 

HelloI am experiencing a behavior that seems unusual compared to my previous experiences. I have three Tape pools with different retention policies. When I try to move a tape from one of these pools to the 'Free' pool, I receive a notification stating that moving the tape will cause it to be formatted.Is this normal behavior? Additionally, how can I remove a tape from a pool without it being formatted?

Backups without notifications are like monitoring without alerting: you can live with it—until the day you can’t.Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) and Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager (VEM) can send automated emails, for example when an event is triggered, like:Job success/warning/failure  Infrastructure warnings Licensing/support notificationsThe goal: you find out about problems as soon as they happen.(And yes: “no news” are also news—but only if you’re sure your email delivery is actually working.) Veeam Doku: E-Mail-Settings & Notifications (VBR v13)https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/pve_email_settings.html?ver=13VEM Doku: Email-Settings & Notification (v13)https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/em/notifications_ms365.html?ver=13 “Can’t I just enter an SMTP server + username/password and be done with it?” For several years, that was actually the only way—and of course it can still work today. This classic approach is called SMTP server (basic authentication).V

In Part 1, we talked about the difference between reactive and proactive Veeam operations.But knowing the difference is the easy part. The real question is:How do you actually make the transition—without overhauling everything at once?Because most environments can’t just stop and rebuild.They have to evolve.This is how you do it—step by step, without creating more chaos in the process. Step 1: Get Visibility (You Can’t Fix What You Can’t See)Before you change anything, you need a clear picture of where you are.Start with:Job success vs warning vs failure rates Backup job durations (are they increasing?) Repository capacity and growth rate Restore success history (if any exists)The goal:Understand your baseline.Not what you think is happening—what’s actually happening.Proactive operations start with awareness. Step 2: Clean Up the NoiseMost reactive environments have one thing in common:Too many alerts. Too many warnings. Too much noise.Do this next:Review all current warnings Fix what
