Hello Veeam community this was posted in the Veeam R&D Forums. I thought it would also be good to add here. Your feedback is important for our Nutanix joint customers. It is a simple answer, either “Yes” or “No”😀Veeam Nutanix Prism Central vs. Prism Element Pollhttps://forums.veeam.com/nutanix-ahv-f51/prism-central-vs-prism-element-usage-t96793.htmlThanks for your support,Pete 

TeamNeed your advice and support on below topicWe are using AWS S3 for cloud backups, with the on-premises performance tier, the cloud capacity tier set to S3 Standard class, and the archive tier set to Glacier.The data transfer from on-premises to the cloud uses Direct Connect and the S3 private endpoint, which works perfectly fine.The issue is when data moves from the capacity tier to the archive tier. This process is handled by a helper appliance, which uses the S3 private endpoint for transferring data from capacity to archive tiers and for deleting data from the archive tier. These activities generate significant data transfer costs.If the helper appliance uses the S3 gateway endpoint instead, it would be free as per AWS. We need your assistance how to instruct the helper appliance to use the S3 gateway endpoint instead of the S3 private endpoint. 

As many of you know I have written three books on Veeam starting at v10 and the last one being v12.  I am working on the outline for a fourth book that will use 12.3 and focus more on the security aspects and enhancements to Veeam.Once the outline is complete (working on this over the holiday break) they will ask me about technical reviewers so I wanted to solicite the community to see if anyone is interested.  I have had people like Rick Vanover, Matt Crape and Craig Dalrymple be technical reviewers and be recognized in the beginning of the books.If there is anyone out there interested in this contact me by DM and we can chat.  I just need name and email address to give to the publishing company when the time comes.  I appreciate any that volunteer as it is a bit of work to do and there will be deadline dates to meet.If there are any questions please post them here so I can answer for all to see that might be considering this.Appreciate this wonderful community as always.

For the past few weeks, I have been experiencing difficulties troubleshooting an issue that is causing failures in my backup jobs. The problem started following a power outage, and I have not been able to identify the root cause.Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? I can provide further details and logs if needed.  In the logs i found some entrys [16.12.2024 20:02:51.302]    <01>    Info (3)    Job session 'bfd333b9-d621-450b-affa-c7904e05fe9b' has been completed, status: 'Failed', '0 B' of '0 B' bytes, '1' storages in '0' tasks, '0' successful, '0' failed, details: '', PointIds: [][16.12.2024 20:02:51.362]    <01>    Info (3)    [CJobLogsManager] Cannot find quota.

Everyday is a school day, and today I found out something really cool that Veeam was doing, that I never knew about because “It Just Works”.I had an alert generated from a customer system today that I had never seen before. Now I’ve seen plenty of alerts for different backup issues, whether they’re caused by networks, BSODs, disk space constraints etc, but I got surprised by this completely new one. A Tape Drive Alert, but of an unexpected variety Warning: “TapeDrive alert: The voltage supply to the tape drive is outside the specified range.”As I said above, I’d never seen this warning before! I didn’t know that Veeam was tracking such attributes of the tape drives it uses. So I set about looking up the root cause of the problem and busted out some “Google-Fu” to find who else had these issues in the past and I found this page of Veeam Documentation:Tape Drive Alerts – Veeam Backup Guide for vSphereThis web page has all of the alert codes, the severity of the issue, a description about

 Snapshot orchestration is critical, especially in IT environments that seek agility in application protection and recovery operations. The capability for fast restoration from snapshots also helps reduce downtime and minimizes business impact.Veeam Backup & Replication can integrate with storage systems and create backups using storage-based snapshots, minimizing production impact and accelerating the backup process.In addition to the traditional Backup Job, Veeam offers the Snapshot Orchestration Job. It automates the creation, management, and deletion of snapshots, ensuring consistent backups, minimal impact on production systems, and more efficient storage use.Together, the Veeam Backup and Veeam Snapshot Orchestration enable the implementation of a comprehensive data protection and recovery strategy.vSphere Metro Storage Cluster (vMSC)In critical VMware environments that require high availability, VMware High Availability (HA) is a technology that provides cluster-based monito

 Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v8 has been out and generally available since September 3, 2024, with new features focused on complete immutability, increased scalability, and more.I highlight these changes in the architecture, as shown in the figure above.Let's verify some of the new features. Comprehensive ImmutabilityVeeam Backup for Microsoft 365 allows you to prevent data deletion from the primary object storage repository by making the data temporarily immutable, thus safeguarding it against malware threats.The following types of Object Storage repositories are compatible with this release and can support immutability:S3 object storage: compatible with the AWS S3 operations and AWS S3 Signature Version 4 standard. Amazon S3 object storage. Microsoft Azure Blob storage. IBM Cloud Object Storage.

Hi All,Because network topology, our veeam have to backup server fram on different site  ,our backup proxy、gateway server、vc on the other site and veeam on another site,all have manage ip can be access , a user  would like to inquire if it is possible to provide them with backup lab in addition to veeam, when the backup job starts, they use backup lan to perform backups instead of managing lan?

I’m a newb Veeam user.I have a WS2022 server with Hyper-V installed on new server.  A vendors app would not function properly on a guest due to USB Pass-through.  In order to get the application working we left HV installed on the server and installed the application on the HV server itself, IE: BareMetal App server.I have an upcoming project which will hopefully get the application migrated to a guest.  In the mean time, it would be nice to backup the Server. I have a guest on server (TEST), and Veeam guest backup works fine.I try to run an agent based backup job, to copy the entire server:I get this error on my Veeam Server:  12/18/2024 2:25:04 PM :: Processing Hyperv.XXX.com Error: Failed to connect to Hyperv.XXX.com:11731Will the Agent work properly if I uninstall HV?  What do I need to do so that it will work? 

Hello,I’d like to evaluate Veeam’s backup solutions. I’m trying to install Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows on a Hyper-V Server 2019 OS, but any attempts ends with a failure. Checking the installation logs reveals the error message "System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Fatal error during installation". This instance of Hyper-V Server has no additional software installed, including anything related to SQL Server (which seems to be the cause of this issue, as I found out from other topics about this error code).Is there perhaps a component that’s missing on Hyper-V Server that’s required for Veeam Agent to work? 

TeamI have scheduled a weekly health check job for all active jobs, but unfortunately, we have not received the report via email, nor is it possible to generate it in an HTML format similar to the backup job reports.Could you please assist with this? Additionally, the SOBR job results are not as effective or detailed as the daily backup job reports.

Hi Community We woke up one day to a dead HDD. We are replacing the entire server, as the server is or was over 12 years old. New DELL Server coming in, which will be the host, and internal SSD drives now. It will have ESXi 8 on it. My question is. We had 2 servers (virtual machines) on the old server, both using Veeam Agent 6.0.2 shooting images to Wasabi, and incremental, with periodic full images on the weekends. This has worked for us for years, starting from Version 4 until today, we upgraded versions along the way. But never been in this situation. Being that the Windows Agent was directly installed on the machines that were affected, and now dead, and being that Wasabi has all our data, does anyone have a suggestion how to download those images or I should say, restore the vm’s to the new host? We have a few ideas, but with Veeam, making one wrong move can take hours and hours as you have to wait before it fails, where you think its potentially working. We’re pretty stuck and in

Hi everyone,How does a worker instance deployed in a “production account” access a S3 bucket repository in the “backup account” if there is no S3 bucket policy, cross-account IAM roles, etc. in place? Not sure if this is relevant but I’ve shared a VPC subnet between the production and backup accounts for the worker instances to use. I’m using the Veeam provided IAM roles for the backup appliance (vaws1-VeeamImpersonationRoleV1-XXXXXXXXX) and worker instances (VeeamInstanceBackupRestoreAccessRoleV1-XXXXXXXXX). What am I missing here? Thanks!Steve

When trying to deploy the worker instance to another account and in the North Virginia region, the error Processing instance failed: Cannot find any IAM instance profiles associated with IAM role arn:aws:iam::accountnumber:role/VeeamWorkerRoleis being displayed.We have already validated communication with the endpoints and egress and ingress rules in the security group on port 443 and it is ok.The roles and permissions as well as the Worker profile are also correct.Has anyone experienced this problem?Thanks.Cláudio Hipólito 

Hello,I have to configure S3 Wasabi for the first time and I would like to be sure about the configuration.I will use it as backup copy repository with immutability.1) I create the bucket on Wasabi with versionning + object lock enabled2) I create a policy on Wasabi based on https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... positoriesI need the policy "Immutability Enabled and Helper Appliance Configured Beforehand" right ?How could I limit the policy only to the bucket "backupbucket" ? Because if I understand correctly, the policy in Veeam documentation has permission on all buckets.3) I create a new user and assign the policy4) I create the repository to veeam and set the desired immutability.I think I need some help on part 2 to be sure the user can only write to the "backupbucket".Thanks for your help

In our Veeam environment, we scheduled for backup job to tape face such kind of status and time is too long. Please help to share your experience of this kind of issue. Please kindly see the attached.Thanks.

Dear All,Do we have lab setup for trying configurations of HPE MSL Tape Library with Veeam.Thank You

Dear Community, To reach this step, I resolved the error "SSPI authentication failed for user" by following the steps outlined in the official Veeam article: https://www.veeam.com/kb4542 However, I am now stuck at a point where I must assign the appropriate permissions to proceed. Could someone please guide me to where and how to assign the necessary permissions?    Your advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  

Hello everyone,I was surfing the internet looking for a topic about VMware and I accidentally found this publication. It's only 25 pages long, but it explains in a very objective way how backup works for VMware. I found it very interesting for those who have little knowledge of VMware. It's well worth reading!It addresses the topics in a light and simple way.I recommend it to all of us! Even to value the writer “Lawrence Miller”  

Hi there,In this article, I’m going to look at why, as the title says, it’s now crucial to give your infrastructure object storage for writing backups.To do this, though, we need to look at a few things. I’m going to run through them now. Why Enterprise Backups Are Becoming More and More Important In recent years, the amount of data being generated has increased a lot. Companies now need to manage information that is critical to their daily operations. At the same time, with this growth, there are also a variety of risks associated with different situations, such as:Cybersecurity: Ransomware and data breaches are happening more often and are getting more sophisticated.Regulations like GDPR and NIS2 require us to keep data safe and secure.Business Continuity: Losing data can cause a lot of problems for a company. It can damage their reputation, cause financial losses, and disrupt their operations. The answer is on-premises object storage.On-prem object storage is a pretty cool solution
