Hello,I wanted to verify if the Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center v9.1.0.3107 is supported in System Center Operations Manager 2025.We have it running on our test environment and it seems to work but we want to validate before we upgrade our production SCOM environment.Kind Regards,JM

Heads up, all threat hunters.I recently encountered a problem with several customers using ThreatHunter. It happened that mounting the file system needed to crawl the system didn't work. However, mounting the file system for a single file restore worked fine. It turned out to be a small bug in the code and there is already a private fix for this, and it will be included in the next release:So if you encounter this problem, just file a case with Veeam support and get your private fix in the meantime. According to the registry keys that come with the fix, it seems to have something to do with certificate revocation.However, everything works as expected once the fix is in place.

We have installed Veeam in a Standalone Hyper V host, and we can perform backups of all virtual machines in this Hyper V host. All the VMs are in drive D of the Hyper-V host.  Is there a way that I can do a backup of the C Drive of the Hyper V host so that we can restore the server and then restore the Virtual machines in case the Hyper-V Host fails? Do I need to install a Windows agent in the Hyper V host?  What is the best approach?  

Hi All,Does veeam also upgrades the database version  during the upgrade process? (ms sql or postgres)Because when upgrading from 12.1 to 12.3, Postgres version was still 15.8,how do I know if there will be an update? Will vulnerabilities be patched to address them?

Hi allWhen I try to install the hyper v component for veeam on a hyper v windows 2016 virtual machine I get the following error.I turned off UAC. Other things I can do? It doesn't recognize it as a hyper v machine  

Hello Community,I prepared an article to report my experience in backing up Oracle databases with FS agent and RMAN plug-in. I hope it can be useful.Thanks to my colleagues @marco_s @ggrippo   Keeping backup data from an Oracle-type database is always complex. The world of Oracle DBAs is strongly inclined to remain locked in the comfort zone shell, and getting through it is never too easy. Meanwhile, they wonder why, if any backup tool uses RMAN commands, they have to rely on other people when they can do everything themselves.Today I am going to present a real scenario of installations on Oracle Linux VMs.But I start by showing the schematic of how Oracle backup works with the pluginSCENARIO: 

Hi!Ubuntu 22.04 server has veeam agent 5.0.2 installedbut the backup job shows this error: Error: Failed to execute agent management command startBackup. table JobSessions has no column named end_timeUnable to run query.   

Oracle backup fails with error "failed to execute plug in manager command: no data to read"  

When we backup our outlook using VDC, the processed object mean total of our users?In this pic can i say 829 is total user backup by VDC? 

Introducing Linux Proxies in Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 v8: A Step-by-Step GuideWith the release of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 version 8, the introduction of Linux proxies brings new flexibility and scalability to your backup infrastructure. These proxies can now be pooled, offering enhanced performance and resource management. However, setting up a Linux proxy may not be a routine task for many users, which is why I’ve created a straightforward, step-by-step guide to simplify the process.   Deploying a Linux proxy is not always straight forward...This guide provides a clear, easy-to-follow "recipe" to deploy a fully functional Linux proxy with minimal effort. By following the instructions and using the provided commands, you can quickly set up your proxy and get started.  For the full tut

Hi,Whilst I appreciate Netplan isn’t Ubuntu 22.04 specific, I thought I’d note the version in the title for any eventual changes.As the title suggests, I was building a bonded interface for a server recently and was having troubles with Netplan not utilising the configuration properly.For background information, I was trying to create a simple active-backup bonded interface, so that should one NIC fail, another interface should carry on serving traffic. When I’m working with network switches of shall we say, questionable quality, I sometimes prefer utilising a simpler active-backup network resiliency mechanism vs configuring active-active methods that can cause compatibility issues between server OS and switch, especially when you’re playing with 10/25GbE. Ways of Monitoring Interface Failures As a

Hi all,i have currently an environment with multiple jobs in VBO365 (latest version).All regular jobs are running fine.As a fallback, we have defined a catch-all job. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn’t be an object in it…And that’s our case - if the job has nothing to backup (as it’s processed in other jobs), the state will trigger a warning message → this will create an alert in the customers Monitoring Solution. Is there any option to disable it? Or do you have some suggestions for me?Thanks and best regards, Markus  

Dear Community, We have agent-based backup configured for database backups, but our DB team has raised concerns regarding I/O Frozen occurrences while the jobs are running. Additionally, the logs are being truncated every 30 minutes. If anyone has insights or best practices to address this issue, please share your recommendations if anyone has insights or best practices to address these issue recommendations. Your guidance would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

I create a file level job backup and only need to backup .xls files like below picture But when the job is running, why my backup consume more than 300GB? Actually when i filter in the machine, all xls files under E:\ is not more than 50 GB.Capacity of my E drive is 7.4TB and now the job say is 5% progress which mean the VBR like backup all entire disk without any file filtering.Anyone know why? 

I’m attempting to backup an entire Ubuntu 24.04 computer with the Veeam Agent for Linux.  The destination is an external USB drive.  I can do this with a Windows 11 computer and the Veeam Agent for Windows with no problem.However, when I try to do the same thing with the Veeam Agent for Linux, I’m given an error message that the destination path is included in the backup.  As far as I can remember this used to work.Why does this work now only in Windows but not Linux?

What happen if we use file level backup then we have connectivity issue and the job is failed, will in next retry the VBR continue the backup or will start from beginning?

Fellow Veeam Legend ​@MarkBoothman shared an interesting post on the VUG UK Community page and I thought it highly relevant to also be shared with the main Community as a whole as well.Today Anton Gostev, Chief Product Officer at Veeam, created a couple posts on the Veeam Forums I think those anxious for the release of Veam Backup & Replication v13 should be aware of. Starting in v13, Veeam is beginning to deprecate some features, as well as streamline system requirements to make their product better, more secure, and performant. The posts can be viewed at the links below:VBR v13 Deprecated Features

Hello Community,I am facing the following problem.We are using an archiving (HSM) solution where the archiving application uses the NetApp Fpolicy Engine for mirgation. After migrating files off a NetApp smb share to s3 storage, the NetApp fpolicy engine leaves a stub at the original location. This "stub" is used to recall the file back to the original location when it is accessed. These stubs cause problems when backing up through veeam. During Nas backup (Share and using the NetApp storage integration) the stubs are not backed up, it causes a recall from the archive. (This is not what you want). On a Windows Fileserver veeam handles these stubs well. These stubs are called NTFS Reparse points. The stub file has the L (Reparse) and O (Offline) attribute set. When doing a Windows Fileserver backup these reparse points are, by default, skipped. No setting needed. This is the correct way to handle stubs. I assume this is because of the "L" attribute of the reparse

Hello, we added file-indexing on our ubuntu 24.04 lts-servers today and started the backup of each workload.Veeam detects all files with extension .sophos and .lynx as malware.The files with extensions .sophos are 100% clean, these is our sophos endpoint detection for linux.The lynx-files looks also normal and not like malware. Can we exclude thee files for each workload? I only see the option to exclude a complete workload. Detected files:/opt/sophos-spl/.sophos/usr/share/doc-base/lynx-common.lynx/usr/share/doc/w3m/keymap.lynx/usr/share/doc/w3m/ja/keymap.lynx/usr/share/doc/w3m/ja/examples/keymap.lynx/usr/share/doc/w3m/examples/keymap.lynx/usr/share/wazuh-dashboard/plugins/wazuh/node_modules/brfs/test/

Dear community, Does anyone have an idea if I can force a threat hunter signature update? I do have 2 different cases: Lab case (NFR license!)I do have a lab with a NFR license activated and my SureBackup fails on a regular base with the error message, that the Threat Hunter signature update is not possible.I already reviewed the firewall rules and updates a rule set for v12.3 so that every requirement should be done. Customer case (prod license)The SureBackup (antivirus) fails with the error message that there is no signature database available. wr already reviewed the FW rules and don’t see issues. Can I force the signature update manually somehow? If nobody has input on this I will of course open a support ticket! Thanks in advance!Lukas

Dear Veeam community,I am using Veeam Backup & Replication to back up my data and would like to know if it is possible to add Synology NAS to the list of managed servers in Veeam Backup & Replication. I tried to configure Synology NAS as a Linux server, but I encountered an error: ‘Unable to collect hardware info. scp: /var/services/homes/adminDS/.: No such file or directory’. I have checked the path and permissions but the problem persists. Can you give me instructions or recommendations on how to properly configure the Synology NAS as a managed server in Veeam Backup & Replication? I would appreciate any help or advice. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
