Restore Veeam Backup of Windows to a USB Drive

I have backed up a Windows 11 PC using Veeam Agent for Windows. I would like to restore that backup to a USB Drive, so then I can just boot Windows up off the USB.I created a Veeam Recovery Media USB, but when I boot up off it and select BMR and select the backup file, my USB drive that I want to restore to, does not come up in the destination drive selection screen, it is not listed at all.I can see the drive if I go to a Command Prompt, but cannot see it in the Veeam BMR Interface.Is there anyway possible to restore the backup to the USB drive.  Could it somehow be done using command line utilities ?Thanks.

Using Linux VBR VMware proxies with a .local AD domain name

I am not sure if this has been posted somewhere before but I thought I would post my experience of setting up Linux proxies for our VMware backups and the one issue I ran into. I deployed a couple of Ubuntu 22.04 VMs, as I will be using hot-add for the VM backups. I added them to the VBR server and created a test backup of one VM. First backup attempt and I got this error:Error: Cannot get service content. Soap fault. Temporary failure in name resolution Detail: 'getaddrinfo failed in tcp_connect()', endpoint: 'https://vc.domain.local:443/sdk' SOAP connection is not available. Connection ID: [vc.domain.local]. Failed to create NFC download stream. NFC path: [nfc://conn:vc.domaint.local,nfchost:host-1310340,stg:datastore-1310378@TEST/TEST.vmx]. --tr:Unable to open source file [nfc://conn:vc.domain.local,nfchost:host-1310340,stg: So the key to the problem is “failure in name resolution”.

How is SLA Compliance Calculated for Backup Jobs?

Hello Veeam Community,I’m working with Veeam and need clarification on how SLA compliance is calculated in the following scenario:I have an SLA setup with the following settings:RPO (Recovery Point Objective): 8 hoursRTO (Recovery Time Objective): 8 hoursFor a backup job that runs for 24 hours, the results were as follows:20 backup jobs finished within the 8-hour RPO.2 backup jobs took 9 hours to complete (missed the RPO by 1 hour).2 backup jobs failed (no backup completed for these VMs).How does Veeam One calculate RPO compliance in this scenario?

Veeam Backup and Replication 12.3 now has NetApp ONTAP SnapDiff API enabled

VBR 12.3 had a pretty big payload across our alliance partners. One of those is the NetApp with the ONTAP SnapDiff API. This is a native change file tracking capability built into the ONTAP OS (differencing engine). This will help customers reduce the amount of time it takes for a NAS backup with changes to complete. This improvement was highly requested by our customers. It is easy to enable when you are adding an “Unstructured Data source” in VBR see link and figure 1 below. Once enabled, you will see messages in the job log on incremental backups figure 2. Please spread the word to your ONTAP customers. This is a v1 version of SnapDiiff more features coming (TBD)😀.Adding Enterprise Storage System as NAS Filer Figure 1 Figure 2Note: There are a few restrictions mentioned in the link above listed below.Native changed files tracking (CFT) is not supported for NetApp ONTAP versions from 9.10.1 to 9.10.1P10. Native changed files tracking (CFT) is not supported for NetApp ONTAP FlexGroup

Veeam O365 how to delete some specific repository data like Sharepoint, OneDrive, Teams, etc.

Hello, We have Veeam O365 5b (5.0.1.225). By mistake we enabled the backup job for the entire organization, so that means it includes Sharepoint, OneDrive, Teams, etc. and now our Repository disk is full.We need to do a clean-up of the repository disk, in order to leave just emails (users, groups, shared mailboxes, archives, etc.) and delete all data of Sharepoint, OneDrive, Teams, etc. Finally create a job only for emails (users, groups, shared mailboxes, archives, etc.)How can I  do that?Thanks for your help, Omar De Souza.

Veeam says it is waiting for a tape, but not which one!

I have a tape library with 48 slots. The file to tape jobs all run smoothly as long as the tapes that are summarized in the media pool and linked to the file to tape jobs are in the slots of the tape library _before starting_ the job.That worked fine as long as I left all the tapes for the respective job in the tape library, even if the job was finished or I had switched off the tape library.The reason at the time was that I didn't really have an external storage option for all 127 LTO tapes. So up until then I always left at least the 24 tapes for the 3rd offline repository in the library, as shown in the example.But since that is anything but right for fire safety reasons, I only noticed it now, after I no longer leave any tapes in the library except for the cleaning tape.Now I have the following banal problem:as you can see in the screenshots, the job starts. The tape library is empty, and so are the drives. Now I assume that Veeam knows which tapes are needed after the job initiali

Existing VM Snapshots and Job Failing

The software we use to apply windows updates creates a VM snapshot prior to installation. Having that snapshot on the VMs then cause the backup jobs to fail. I think this is a known issue and we have just disabled the backup jobs for a day or so until we remove the snapshot. Im just verifying that Veeam doesnt like there to be snapshot on the vm and should be avoided when possible or am I doing something wrong. We use storage integration and NOT hot add type backups.

Connecting Enterprise Manager to VBR with activated MFA

Hey Folks,just curious if its a bug or working as intended: It’s a brand new VBR and VBEM environment (V12.3) on a customer site. Currently it’s in onboarding/configuration phase. We have configured Roles, MFA and stuff like that. Currently the local user veeam-administrator is marked as a Service Account - so for this specific account, no MFA is required. We use this Account for making the initial connection between Enterprise Manager and VBR. After entering the required informations, we get the error message: Six-digit confirmation code is required.    As you can see in the User & Roles section within VBR, its correct marked as a Service-Account.  Solution (or workaround) ℹ️So my next step was to temporary disable the whole MFA function within VBR. After that, connecting VBEM with VBR is working as expected.   Re-enabling MFA in VBR after that, was not a problem at all and VBEM can further communicate with VBR, as it’s on certificate-based authentication.  I didn’t find informati

Veeam One Virtual Centre Connections

Morning Veeam Gnu’s ;)Got a fiddly one that I can’t figure out.Veeam One server sits in DR Datacentre. If the link between the Prod and DR datacentre goes wobbly, Veeam One loses its connection and we start to get spurious reports such as snapshots that no longer exist on VMs but still appear in the report.The fix is odd - retype the service account password in Virtual Centre and retry the connection.Is there reg key where I can turn down the sensitivity of Veeam One for the VC connection ? Thanks Phil
