Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v8.1 brings several important updates designed to boost performance, security, and flexibility. This latest release enhances the backup process for Microsoft 365 environments, simplifying data protection for critical services like Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams. Let’s explore the new features in v8.1 and why they’re essential for businesses.Key Features of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v8.1Proxy Pools for Enhanced Efficiency One of the standout features of Veeam Backup for M365 v8.1 is the new proxy pool functionality. Proxy pools distribute backup processing across multiple proxies, which leads to improved efficiency and faster backup times. This feature is especially beneficial in large environments, as it ensures backup jobs can be processed more effectively, reducing bottlenecks and improving overall performance. Linux Proxy Support With the addition of Linux-based backup proxies, Veeam has introduced more flexibility when

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.

Hi Community,I want to post a question on the R&D Forum, but I see no option to do it, I Also tried to send a message, but the system doesn’t allow me to do it probably because I’m not an active member.Does anyone knows how to fix it?

Please specify time parameters in the h:m format and try again  if someone in this forum found same issue and has been solved it. kindly inform how to resolved it.   thanks

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

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.

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

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

There was a very comprehensive forum post https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/deprecated-and-discontinued-features-for-our-2025-release-t97087.html but I want to provide a quick summery of  Changes coming  in V13 (H2 2025) to support planning efforts. As you prepare, it’s advisable to phase out deprecated features and prioritize the removal of discontinued ones.Phasing out underused features allows Veeam to focus resources on areas that provide the most value, enhancing overall product quality. Our goal is to streamline maintenance by removing features that are costly to support, rarely used, or contribute to stability issues.Deprecated FeaturesThe following features will be unavailable in new V13 installations or for newly created jobs, but will remain functional for upgraded installations. These features will be fully removed in V14:Veeam Backup & ReplicationReversed incremental backup mode Retention based on restore points (only time-based retention will be supp

We use Veeam 12.2.0.334My Veeam is configured on such a way that a SNMP-trap is send as soon as a backup job run is finished. That works correct.Is it possible to configure Veeam on such a way that a SNMP-trap is send when a backup job run starts?

Hi, does Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 require a Veeam Cloud Connect licence per customer when backing up from Azure to a remote (non-Microsoft) data centre?  Thanks, Nick

Im trying to setup Veeam Self Service Restore for our DBAs and when they login to the URL they are not seeing any options to restore files. When I test with my standard desktop account I can see the proper selections to perform a recover. Is there anything that needs to be installed on the DBAs PC as well? We tried both Edge and Chrome and both work for me but not for the DBA im testing with.

Does VEEAM Kasten support direct backups to VEEAM Windows or Linux Repository as backup target?From documentation it is confusing where it says it needs access to external object storage or external NFS file storage. Is this for metadata and can metadata be also written to regular repository in absence of Object and NFS

🚀 🆕 Just announced and focused solely on virtualization  🔝ℹ️https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/introducing-red-hat-openshift-virtualization-engine Let me tell you a little about what it is about. Virtualization with OpenShift: Simple and Socket SubscriptionOpenShift Virtualization is the virtualization feature that comes built into all versions of OpenShift, from the most basic to the most complete. If you are looking to migrate from platforms like VMware, OpenShift Virtualization Engine (OVE) is ideal for managing and operating your virtual machines (VMs) with a low-cost subscription.OpenShift Virtualization Engine (OVE) is designed exclusively for virtualization, with a per-socket subscription , it does not include functions to modernize applications or work with containers, which greatly simplifies operations if you only need to focus on virtualization.When you combine it with Kasten K10 , you have a complete solution: in addition to managing your VMs, you can protect them with autom
