I enabled EWS via Veeam Data Cloud - and it created a new enterprise that seems to be needed for this task (we did it manually anyway) - but it stays after completion of the task.Can we delete that?BRStephan

Hi,I am kinda new to Veeam Backup. We do have some remote linux hosts without any internal connection to our local infrastructure.Now, to not use the internet directly, I installed Netbird (just like Tailscale) and connected both, the Veeam Server and the Linux Host. That works, all good.Now when I add the Host as Managed Server, the initial SSH Connection works and the Netbird IP is being used but then everything else is trying the WAN IPs which, of course, is not wanted and also blocked. So the Setup never finishes. Does anyone know what I could do here?ThanksAndreas

IntroductionMy Veeam Report v13, maintained and extended by L1nkState, is a modernized PowerShell reporting solution for Veeam Backup & Replication v12 and v13.Originally created by Shawn Masterson and later expanded by the community (notably marcohorstmann), this project transforms raw Veeam data into a clean, structured, and highly configurable HTML report designed for both operational teams and MSP environments. Download:L1nkState/My-Veeam-Report-v.13 Origin and EvolutionThe project has an interesting lifecycle:🧱 Original script: created by Shawn Masterson (pre-2018) 🧑‍💻 Community revival: modernized by contributors including marcohorstmann 🚀 Current version (v13): adapted and extended by @L1nkState for compatibility with modern Veeam platforms (v12/v13)This evolution reflects a common pattern in infrastructure tooling: community-driven survival and modernization of abandoned but valuable scripts. Key PurposeThe main goal of My Veeam Report v13 is to provide:A single HTML re

Hello everyone!!!  🚨 Recently, we identified incidents affecting some customers where the mouse cursor disappears while using the Veeam Console. During our investigation, we identified a possible connection to Microsoft Edge.Although permanent fixes are still being worked on, applying the command below, which makes a change to the Windows Registry (Regedit), has shown positive results and temporarily resolved the issue.We are continuing to monitor the environments and follow the progress of the ongoing fixes to ensure operational stability.Has anyone in the community experienced the same issue? If so, please share your experiences, possible root causes, or solutions you have implemented. Let's collaborate and exchange information to help the community find a more permanent solution! 🤝  command reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\WebView2" /v "HardwareAccelerationModeEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

We have a Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager that connects to several Veeam B&R servers at our remote sites and child companies. As we’ve been upgrading to V13, the requirement to use HTTPS to connect to the VBR server is causing endless issues. Most of these sites are smaller, and only have one external IP that’s used for something user-facing, such as client VPN. (You know, because default ports are good for end users that wouldn’t know how to specify them.)V12 used Veeam-specific custom ports that we could forward to the VBR servers and there was no issue whatsoever, but the upgrade to V13 has ruined this. It is necessary to be able to specify a custom port for BEM to collect data from VBR servers. We’re not pointing a web browser at this, and backup software is an ideal place for knowledgeable IT staff to use and document custom ports, or even just a single nonstandard port that Veeam uses by default (like is used to with 9392). I don’t know who decided it was a good idea to use t

I read this post but it doesn’t include any details on how to setup the backup job:Can anyone provide details on how to use Netbird to backup/restore a remote Linux VPS?From the Veeam B&R server, I can ping the Netbird host name and IP of the remote Linux server but I have tried for hours to get it to work. I can’t even get Veeam to install the agent on the remote Linux host.

Status: 23.09.2026Note: Information and links you can find at the end of this postIntroduction:The storage integration in Veeam Backup & Replication allows integrating various vendors of storage systems like NetApp or HPE into Veeam to take advantage of the snapshot mechanism directly from the array to perform backup and restore operations.But how is all of this implemented? What do you need to keep in mind? And how is it configured?With version 13 of Veeam Backup & Replication, the Veeam Universal Storage API (US API) is introduced.That means the integrations are no longer developed directly by Veeam, but they offer a framework that storage vendors can use to integrate their storage solutions into Veeam Backup and Replication.At this point it is important to mention that the new US API-based plugins do not automatically replace everything from the built-in integration.Currently the new US API plugin is only intended for block or file storage for VMware Sphere; NAS filer backup

When I published my previous article about NFS repository performance, one of the key observations was that NFS mounts could become a bottleneck due to a limited number of network connections being used between the backup infrastructure and the storage system.At the time, a common recommendation was to manually tune Linux NFS mount options, especially the nconnect parameter, to improve throughput.Recently, I discovered an interesting configuration option within Veeam Backup & Replication that deserves attention. A Hidden Registry SettingVeeam appears to support custom NFS mount parameters through the following registry value: Key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and ReplicationValue Name:NfsLinuxMountOptionsType:REG_MULTI_SZ Example: nconnect=300 When configured, the resulting mount may look similar to:172.0.0.30:/data /mnt/repository nfs rw,soft,vers=4.1,nconnect=300  Now all Linux Gateway Servers will use this option …. 

Hi,When I upgraded vsa from 13.0.x to 13.1.x from host Managementconsole, it was smooth however when I opened vbr console present on remote server,it started components upgrade with message 'Appliance Os needs upgrade" something similar to that but it never got updated automatically and all the previous proxys become unavailable and out of date ..i reverted back using snapchat,anyone has Solution or explanation for this behaviour, my vsa has internet but not individual proxys..

We have an online event coming up for VUG Canada on October 8th with guests ​@Pybarra and ​@MatzeB and including NetApp.  Check out to registration link below to register.  Hope to see many there.Can’t delete this! Better together with Veeam and NetApp

✦ All of this seem over your head? Ask Claude to help. The GitHub repo ships a ready-made prompt that lets Claude Code ask for your addresses, set up SSH, install the proxy and the Pis, and guide you through the Veeam console: Deploy it with Claude Code →There is no Veeam Agent for ARM. There is, however, a way to give the stock Linux agent a frozen, point-in-time image of a Pi's SD card and let it do what it does best. Here is the full build, end to end, almost entirely from the VBR web console.This started as a weekend puzzle and turned into something I would actually run. I have a couple of Raspberry Pi 4s doing real work: one is a fixed ADS-B flight-tracking ground station, the other rides along in an aircraft. They are cheap, they run for months untouched, and when an SD card finally dies you discover how much configuration lived on it. That is exactly the kind of "small but annoying to rebuild" workload people have scattered across labs, shops and edge sites: signage players, sen

After a failed Veeam backup, a Hyper-V VM (ADCC130HP01) was left with multiple nested Veeam Recovery Checkpoints that cannot be removed.Current situation:4 Recovery Checkpoints are chained together. The oldest Recovery Checkpoint dates back to 06/08/2026. The VM is still running normally. The VM disks currently point to the base VHDX files. Multiple AVHDX files still exist on disk.When attempting to delete the checkpoints from Hyper-V Manager, I receive the following error:"Cannot delete checkpoint: Catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF). Virtual machine failed to generate VHD tree."When attempting removal via PowerShell, I receive:"Cannot delete a checkpoint subtree that contains a recovery checkpoint."I have already tried:Deleting checkpoints from Hyper-V Manager. Deleting checkpoints using PowerShell. Attempting manual merge operations.Has anyone experienced a similar issue and successfully removed these orphaned/chained Veeam Recovery Checkpoints without rebuilding the VM or risking dat

IntroductionThis week I upgraded our internal lab/PoC environment from Veeam 12.3.2 to 13.1. I'd like to share my experience with this upgrade — what worked well, what you should prepare for, and a few things that aren't immediately obvious from the release notes.Here's an overview of our lab/PoC environment:Enterprise Manager (Windows Server 2022) Backup Server (Windows Server 2022) ONE Monitoring (Windows Server 2022) 2x Backup Repositorys, Performance Tier (Windows Server 2022 / HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10) 2x Backup Repositorys, Performance Tier, used for Backup Copy (Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS / HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10)On the virtualization side, we run a full VMware Cloud Foundation 5.1 stack, including the Enterprise Manager integration (Veeam plugin) in VMware Cloud Director.Storage integration is not currently in use, and neither are Veeam backup agents — so this is a pure virtualization backup environment.This setup essentially mirrors our production environments, which made it a

For my fourth blog in my new series which covers both Veeam and Wasabi, I wanted to look at setting up Veeam with Wasabi to go over some of the basics.Blog - Getting Started with Veeam and Wasabi – Step by Step Getting Started with Veeam and Wasabi – Step by Step Wasabi is one of the most popular object storage targets for Veeam deployments, and for good reason — no egress fees, predictable pricing, S3-compatible API, and Veeam Ready certification. If you are not already using Wasabi as part of your backup strategy, this guide will walk you through getting it set up. Why Wasabi for Veeam?Before diving into the configuration, let’s quickly cover why Wasabi is worth considering: Veeam Ready certified — validated for both Object Storage and Object Storage with Immutability No egress fees — restoring your data does not cost you extra (looking at you, AWS) No API call fees above a reasonable threshold S3-compatible — works natively with Veeam’s object storage repository type Object

I have a lot of jobs that are getting a new naming convention. The old way to do this was remove from the job from the configuration, modify the folder name on the repository, rename the job, rescan the Repo, then map the back files to the job.   I found there is an updated way to do this and is a welcome feature to save time. To go one step further, it is not recommended to use the remove/rescan method due to the fact the files get new identifiers that cause the restore points to be seen as new data by all tape and cloud storage offload jobs.  To test it, lets create a new job.In my case it’s called “___TEST_NAME_CHANGE” to keep it at the top of my screen.  Next, after running a job, we will click “Disk” on the left to make sure there is a backup on the Repository. It’s similar, but it’s not quite the same screen. 😉  Now, return to the Backup page, right click your Backup job, click edit, and lets rename it.   On the Backup Job page you can see it’s been renamed.   On the Disk page w

During a recent check on a Veeam Backup & Replication server, I noticed that the folder below had grown to several gigabytes:C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\System\CheckpointRemovalThis can become a problem, especially during Veeam upgrades, where the installer often requires more and more free disk space to complete successfully. What is in this folder?The log files stored in this location are related to offload activities.Unfortunately, Veeam does not currently apply any log retention to this folder, so its size can continue to increase over time. Can these files be deleted?Yes, according to Veeam Support, it is possible to manually delete folders older than 14 days from this directory.That means you can safely clean up old content and recover disk space when needed. Why this mattersIf this folder grows unchecked, it may:consume several GB of disk space, create unnecessary pressure on the system volume, and potentially cause issues when performing Veeam upgrades.A quick cleanup may s

💡 The Challenge:Removing a backup proxy in Veeam Backup & Replication across a lot of backup jobs can be pretty annoying and time-consuming.🚀 The Solution:That's why I wanted to share a short PowerShell script that automates this task for you!I personally use it whenever I decommission a backup repository in large, shared Veeam environments - it's a real time-saver.⚠️ Right now, this script is built for the Windows-based Veeam version (12 & 13).A version for the Linux-based appliance is on my roadmap, so stay tuned!👉 You can grab the script here: 🔗 https://github.com/fabpapde/community/blob/main/veeam/veeam-backup-proxy-remove-v1_0.ps1
