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 insta

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

Running Veeam Backup for M365 v 7.1.0.1501 on a Windows Server 2002 Standard VM (the VM is AD joined) and trying to create a backup repository on an SMB shared folder on an AD joined NAS on my LAN, and I'm unable to add the repository. In Veeam, if I go: "Repositories > Add > Backup to Local Disk > Path" ...then enter the path to the SMB shared folder on the NAS ("\\NAS-NAME\SHARE-NAME\FOLDER-NAME"), I can click "Get free space" and Veeam calculates the correct amount of free disk space (so it seems to be able to see the NAS), but if I click "Next" to add the repository, I see: "Specified folder does not exist on the backup proxy. Do you want to create it?? If I click "Yes" I get the error: "Access to the path "\\NAS-NAME\SHARE-NAME\FOLDER-NAME" is denied." I'm able to browse the share in Windows explorer and browse to the folder I'm trying to add. Veeam is installed on an AD j

Hello everyone, In this post, I will cover the steps to configure Single Sign-On in Veeam Backup for AWS and thereby use a user managed by an identity provider instead of using local users in Veeam Backup for AWS, ensuring greater security when accessing the tool.Veeam Backup for AWS supports SSO based on the SAML 2.0 protocol, so any identity provider that uses SAML 2.0 can be used. In this article, I will use Azure AD itself as an identity provider to make it clearer how to perform each step. To start, log in to the Azure portal and go to Enterprise applications:  Click on "New application":  Then choose the option "Create your own applica

Veeam GFS Backup:The GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) backup strategy included in Veeam Backup & Replication software is an optimized method for regular and long-term retention of data. It is important for some companies, especially those in the financial sector, to keep long-term data. With GFS, we can take our Annual, Monthly and Weekly Backups and store these backups for as long as we request.Grandfather-Father-Son Hierarchy:Grandfather: At this level, monthly backups are typically stored. It is used to take a full backup on the first and last day of each month and for long-term storage.Father: This is the level where weekly backups are stored. This level of storage can be achieved by taking a full backup any day of the week.Last: This is the level where daily backups are stored. For example, daily backups are provided by taking a full backup at the end of each day.The Schedule of GFS Backup can be seen in t

Hello,If we not setup team chat this mean VDC only backup teams channel and teams group? Also when click ‘set up teams chats’ there are information ‘may incur additional cost’.Cost of what? Any calculation to estimate the extra cost?

We are doing backup evacuation to that we can recover some of the storage. However, after the evacuation, some of the backup files show the following:If I copy the path, it points me to an available extent where the file has been copied. I also did a restore with the some of the files shown above and able to do a restore. So why does it still show that the files are in an extent in maintenance mode which is not correct since the files have been moved already. Bug or defect or has a information purpose?

A new KB was published yesterday to provide guidance on using Veeam Agents to backup VM's hosted by XenServer and XCP-NG environments managed by Xen Orchestra. It's not direct VM-Level backups, but since I know people have been requesting XenServer and XCP-NG support (especially in Reddit it seems), it's a step in the right direction.  This was previously posted a couple months ago (link below) but I wanted to share the official KB. This article documents how to use Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows and Veeam Agent for Linux, managed by Veeam Backup & Replication, to protect virtual machines in XenServer and XCP-NG environments that are managed by Xen Orchestra. While these hypervisors are not directly supported for VM-level interaction by Veeam Backup & Replication,

SQL Transaction log backup seems to be failing with "Failed to perform internal backup."We just did a big repair of one of our DBs. When I re-enable the backup job (with SQL transaction log backup), it started failing with the following error. Failed to perform internal backup (DBName): Code = 0x80040e31 Code meaning = IDispatch error #3121 Source = Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 Description = Query timeout expired COM error: Code: 0x80040e31 We can see data being moved as shown in the Report so is the Transaction Log backup really failing or it is just doing catch up with the large change? I’m sure if we run a full backup or possibly change the log backup interval to longer, this will resolve the error. Thanks.

Hello.The question is related to adding S3-compatible object storage. Company-developed proprietary BLOB stores in ceph have their own implementation of the S3 surface. When adding S3, you can select a bucket, but when you select folders inside the bucket or when creating a new STORAGEClass error, the storage class uses erasure code.The question is what storageclass does veeam12 use?! since it worked on version veeam 10.How can I see through the logs which storageclass is trying to connect to the storage?  

I have more than 2000 Entra ID users but only have 900 M365 subscription licenses.When we setting the VDC to backup all tenant, will the VDC only take any user who have active license in M365?

Over the last several years Microsoft has been moving into Microsoft 365 with their services. With this migration they have introduced many new features into the eco system to make day to day communication and processes smoother. In this same transition Microsoft has also moved to depreciate legacy technologies for newer features that are purpose built for the ecosystem and modern data communication. We are in the process of what is now the second depreciation cycle of legacy technologies in Microsoft 365. The first being when on-prem services did not make it to the cloud and now with the deprecation of legacy APIs on January 31, 2023. Its important to note that depreciated does not mean these services are nasally going to be shut off but further support by Microsoft and third-party access to these services will also be limited if at all. In this case, services in Microsoft 365 that did not make the cut, by Microsoft, to be coded into the Microsoft Graph API with modern APIs will no

I am currently trying to backup 2 physical servers with Veeam.The target servers are running RHEL 6.6 (2.6.32-504.1.3.el6.x86_64).When I try to include them in a Protection Group to create a backup job, I am encountering an issue where one server succeeds and the other fails.In the Veeam Console UI, it shows up as failed with the message "The server has closed the connection." When checking the log related to the Rescan Task, the main error message is "Failed to upload package file from "D:\veeam\Backup\Packages\veeamdeployment-12.2.0.334-1.x86_64.rpm" to "/tmp/veeamdeployment-12.2.0.334-1.x86_64.rpm". Timeout: 10800 sec, mode: 644 (Veeam.Backup.Common.CRegeneratedTraceException)".It seems unrelated to the fact that the file upload to the server is not possible.This is because the situation is as follows:- Use root account when backing up Veeam- Veeam backup server and backup target server are located on the same network- SELinux an
