Since this product is part of the Veeam family now I headed over to checkout what there was on the website. Very interesting courses. I did the ones that they offer to non customers and wrote for the other two requests to be allowed in given the fact that they really could use some Veeam evangelists on their side now 😁. We will see if they give in. Either way head over to their site and check out the courses, very interesting stuff https://education.securiti.ai/certifications/ai-governance/ 

Hi,Previous I have turn on backup notification but now after turn off, email is still send ? Any idea where I can turn off ? Sample email notification 

I decided today to publish blog #3 for the Object First (OOTBI) series I am doing.  You can find my blog at the following link as well as in this post.https://just-virtualization.tech/2024/09/06/object-first-ootbi-veeam-integration-backup-stats/ Object First (OOTBI) – Veeam Integration & Backup Stats Today, I am going to discuss the integration of Object First OOTBI into the Veeam Console and show you some backup statistics on the appliance’s performance. Again, I am part of the inaugural Object First Aces program, which has afforded me the opportunity to test both the physical hardware appliance and the virtual VSA for OOTBI.To begin, we must integrate the OOTBI appliance into the Veeam B&R Console by adding it as a Repository under the B

Hello Community!  I am new to Veeam (last used 7 years ago, so might as well be new). Here is my current setup:  I have two Mini PC’s running Proxmox as the “Compute”.They are connected over 10GB  to a different server running TrueNAS, via iSCSI.So the VM “Data” does not actually reside on the Proxmox machine, it just acts as the compute side. Now, I have installed Veeam on a Barebones Windows machine.  I configured the Veeam software to connect to the Proxmox servers (success) and it installed the proxy’s.First backup tested was successful, but the others failed.They show “succeeded” but with “Warnings” and no actual data has been backed up.“disk scsi0 has been skipped due to unsupported storage type” I find this odd since the storage type on the successful backup is the same as the other VM’s I am running, (Three Ubuntu VM’s & Home Assistant OS). Any insight would be appreciated!

I just updated the Veeam Agent version to 6.3.2.1302 on my home computer. I don't use a server because it's a single machine with a single backup job, although I do use the Community Edition in other environments.I re-burned the recovery agent to a USB drive, and when I tested it, neither the keyboard nor the mouse worked. The BIOS recognizes them fine, but when the agent starts loading, it disconnects them.I've tried having up to three different keyboards connected to different USB drives, and re-burning the USB drive four times, making sure the option to copy drivers is enabled, but nothing seems to work. I've never had this problem on this computer before.With this and the previous bug that prevented me from recovering backups from a network drive, which has since been fixed, I'm starting to think I spend more time trying to fix Veeam errors than actually using it.Any ideas on how to fix this?

​Hi Community, time to talk a bit of RAID level, today I will bring to you some number when using R0, R1, R5 and R6, the goal fo this part it is to show how important is to use R6 configured on your RAID controller when you need to use some storage volumes as a DAS repository (using server internal disks, not one external Array)   RAID level 0 - No Fault ToleranceA RAID 0 configuration provides data striping, but there is no protection against data loss when a drive fails. However, it is useful for rapid storage of large amounts of noncritical data (for printing or image editing, for example).

Hi,I would like to backup with Veeam backup and replication 12 my new physical NAS with TrueNas Core.How can I proceed ?Do I need to add my TrueNas like an “unstructured data source” ?If so, what option should I choose in next window? File server, File share or NAS filer ?Thanks for your helpRegards,

Hi, new install of veeam with a dell poweredge server and powerstore connected via iSCSI. this will be a hardened repo.Has anyone tested the optimal settings for Veeam including immutability against the powerstore so the powerstore can still perform the data reduction tasks?

Hi All, I have a VBR 12.3.2 server running in AWS as an EC2 instance.  Use Windows agent on other EC2s to back them up to an S3 scale-out repository.  The backups work as expected.  I am able to do file level restores with no problems.  When I try to do a restore to EC2 (create a new EC2) I get the following error “Unable to import the instance from an encrypted volume snapshot” when I click Next on the Reason screen.  I do have it set up to use a helper appliance.  Do you have any thoughts on how to get this working?  The volumes of EC2 that are backed up are encrypted with an AWS-managed key (aws/ebs).  But shouldn’t it be pulling from S3 for the restore? Thanks for any help you can provide.Scott

once i try to install VeeamBackup&Replication the setup refuse to complete it just once started it gives  that The error "unknown exception occurred vmaGetpropertiesFromRegistry"and close the setup and refuse to continue i am sure that happes related to uncorrect uninstalled veeam application is that mean i look for another application ?

Query related a IAM user and IAM role:  Suppose if any customer has a Multiple AWS Accounts  with Control Tower Environment AWS setup, approx. 50+ account and want to take a backup of instance and DB backup using veeam backup for aws appliance,  is it possible using single IAM user and single IAM role to take backup of all workload of this separate account .  Require a IAM role permissions for Control Tower Environment AWS setup, In veeam documentation it is not available.

I have recently installed the Scale Computing plugin into our Veeam B&R 12.3.2 server. If we are currently using Microsoft Agent Backups, is there a migration path to moving to direct VM guest backups via the Scale plugin? If not, can I utilize VM guest backups via Scale plugins for 'new' guest servers and also back up pre-existing servers using the Microsoft Agent method?

Veeam Service Provider Console v9 has been released recently, and it’s one of the most impactful updates we’ve seen in years for VCSP partners. The new version focuses on simplifying MSP operations, expanding compatibility across the Veeam ecosystem, and giving service providers more control with less infrastructure overhead. No More Dependency on Veeam Cloud ConnectThe biggest shift in v9 is operational simplicity. The dependency on Veeam Cloud Connect for managing tenants is now optional. Partners can directly handle tenants, workloads, and agents within the Console. This reduces complexity, speeds up onboarding, and lowers infrastructure costs.All existing connected Veeam Cloud Connect servers will be moved to the Veeam Cloud Connect plugin Tenant Consolidation Under One Company

IntroductionBackups are the last line of defense when cyberattacks strike. Veeam users rely on the platform to restore data quickly and reliably in critical situations. However, availability alone is not enough, backups must be trustworthy. To address this challenge, I created a Python script that uses the Veeam Data Integration API and runs the THOR APT Scanner against the presented restore point(s).Who is Nextron, and what is THOR?Nextron Systems specializes in forensic threat detection. Their flagship product, THOR, is widely used by incident response and security teams to uncover attacker tools and traces that traditional solutions may miss. Unlike classic antivirus integrations, T

Migration from MS-SQL to PostgreSQL is way of preference or license topic.For small environment no one will provide tuning of PostgreSQL configuration.But for bigger backup environment is tuning necessary.Most of issues is possible to fix with 2 things:exclude PostgreSQL from antivirus change 3 values in postgresql.confExcluding from antivirus will prevent to exclude of scanning communication with database. After migration into PostgreSQLCPU usage is too high, even with high number of cpu (32 vCPU in this case) Enterprise Manager is unresponsive (in my case is installed together with VBR)

 Importantly, administrators are responsible for enabling and configuring the fencing mechanism after cluster deployment. Without the fencing configuration, node remediation and VM restarts will not happen as expected. In virtualized environments, high availability (HA) is essential to keep workloads running even when a node fails. In OpenShift Virtualization, HA leverages Kubernetes-native mechanisms combined with OpenShift’s self-healing infrastructure.A key element is fencing, the process of isolating a failed node to prevent issues like split-brain—a scenario where nodes lose communication but continue running independently, causing data inconsistencies and conflicts.When a node goes down, restarting virtual machines (VMs) ha

If you have not upgraded your Promox node yet due to dependencies on Veeam Backup and Replication (VBR). The wait is over as Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 9.0 is now fully supported. It is packed with powerful new capabilities for modern virtualisation and software-defined data centres. Whether you are running a home lab or managing enterprise-scale clusters, this release is a game-changer.Recently, I created some blogposts on how to setup Proxmox VE and also how to Backup and Restore Proxmox VE virtual machines with Veeam.

IntroductionThis blog provides a practical guide to deploying a single-node Kubernetes cluster and integrating the Veeam Kasten K10 solution.The objective is to offer a clear reference that facilitates the exploration of Kasten’s features and benefits. EnvironmentTo carry out this env, the following components are required (depending on the defined scope):One or more servers forming a Kubernetes cluster. An instance of Veeam Kasten K10.Kubernetes Service (k3s)For the installation of K3s, a server (or more, depending on the needs of the lab) was deployed to simultaneously fulfill the roles of master node and worker node.The chosen operating system was Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, due to its stability and compatibility with K3s.Note: The provisioning of the virtual machine and the operating system instal

Because of the new v11-feature of immutable backups on XFS filesystem, I am looking for real-world experiences with XFS as Repository.I just read through this forum entry:https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/v10-xfs-all-there-is-to-know-t65222-30.htmland the closing experience of user ferrus:https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/v10-xfs-all-there-is-to-know-t65222-30.html#p388579 Sounds very good to me so far.

Hey everyone,As we prepare for the upcoming update that introduces support for Veeam v13 on Windows, I wanted to ask:What migration strategy are you planning to adopt and why ?Will you simply upgrade your existing Veeam Windows server to v13? Or do you plan to migrate to v13 and then transition to the Veeam Software Appliance?So far, I haven't found any official discussion about the migration process from Windows to Linux. Ideally, I'm looking for a solution that allows me to back up and restore my settings during this migration. Personally, for all new projects, I’m planning to propose the new Linux-based appliance, even though some aspects still require optimization and improvement. In cases where migration is possible, I would tend to recommend switching to the appliance for smaller infrastructures as well — mainly to benefit from the native hardening layer and eliminate Windows licensing costs.
