Was previously working as intended, just tried to login.On the login screen there is a popup “Application update error. Try cleaning the browser cache“ Cleaned browser cache but did not change.When logged in there is no organization showing, and as such no backup/restore jobs are showing. Under Settings>Companies I get a popup error: could not prepare statement; SQL [with t as (SELECT c.id as id, cast(c.external_id as text) as externalId, c.name as name, SUM(CASE WHEN s.org_name='production' THEN s.sf_sfdc_used_licenses ELSE 0 END) as users, SUM(CASE WHEN s.org_name='production' THEN (cast(jsonb_extract_path(s.sf_storage, 'data', 'max') as float) - cast(jsonb_extract_path(s.sf_storage, 'data', 'remaining') as float)) ELSE 0 END) as dataSize, SUM(coalesce(s.storage_used, 0)) as storageSize, SUM(coalesce(d.db_size_bytes, 0)) as dbSizeBytes, COUNT(s) as sfOrg FROM vsf_configuration.company c LEFT JOIN vsf_configuration.sf_instance as s on c.id = s.company_id LEFT JOIN vsf_configuration

Hello, I recently installed B&R 12 Community Edition to backup a large file server to tape (about 36TB in one server).The disk backup is done to a QNAP NAS connected via iSCSI to the HyperV Server that hosts the VM (needed to use iSCSI as the QNAP NAS does not support files larger than 16TB).The backup to disk results in a 32TB VBK file. The tape drive is connected to another server running the Veeam Installation.Running a Backup to Tape job on the (VSS snapshotted) backup folder however behaves weirdly: right now after 48 hours the job progress is 99% with 88,9 TB of 88,9 TB transferred to tape but that number keeps on growing to 89 TB of 89 TB and so on. Yesterday it was at 99% with 50 TB of 50 TB transferred.The iSCSI target hosting the backup only has 50 TB in total disk space so reading 88 TB from that drive is rather unlikely.The job states "Continuing task for <VBK-File>" and the task.<Hostname>.performer_1.log gives me the line after the last tape swap on the au

I am deploying the new v13 VSA using the OVA method in my lab VMware environment today and discovered when deploying you could see an SSL warning for the OVA like this -SSL Warning and Ignore option There is a fix for this but it requires that you install two CA certificates from Entrust to the vCenter Trusted Root Store which can be done from the WebUI.  Once those are installed to your vCenter then deploying the OVA will not give you the SSL warning and show a valid certificate.CA Certificates to install -Entrust CA Certificates to install in Trusted Root Store on vCenterAfter that when deploying OVA no more warning and valid certificate -Trusted Certificate for OVA deployment of VSAHopefully this helps those that are keen on testing things in your lab environments.

I have been working with VONE 13 since it dropped yesterday and after upgrading my homelab server I found a bug within the Alarms Overview dashboard in the WebUI.  After checking with Jorge in the forums it was noted that if you assign a location to any components this causes the bug.  You need to have no locations and this will be addressed in the next release.Forum Post - (3) Possible Bug - VONE - Alarms Overview screen - R&D ForumsBug -VONE Bug on Alarms Overview screen when Locations assigned Fixed when no locations set -Alarm overview showing alarms now 

Hi everyone,Veeam Community Hackathon banner for 2025. Alfred is sitting in the middle behind a desk. He is about to press a button with the text "RUN" on it.

Recently, I migrated our SAP HANA environment to use the Veeam backup plugin, replacing the old Commvault plugin. The process had a few challenges that I want to share for anyone doing something similar. The ProblemAfter uninstalling the Commvault plugin, I noticed that some old configurations were still on the system. This was preventing the Veeam HANA Plugin from being applied correctly. The issues were mainly caused by old configuration files and symbolic links that needed to be adjusted manually.!-->!--> How I Solved It1. Removing other plugin completelyIn SAP HANA, I used specific commands to unregister the old backint and make sure nothing was left behind. 2. Adjusting configuration filesSome Backint files needed to be renamed or edited to make room for Veeam.Examplemv hdbbackint hdbbackint.old !-->!--> 3. Setting Up VeeamOnce everything was ready, I ran the SapBackintConfigTool to register the databases in Veeam:SapBackintConfigTool --wizard During the wizard, I prov

I’ve been googling and am about to open a support case, but I’m checking here first.  I have just built my first linux proxy servers using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.  Super easy, works great.  Except I have two more that I’m trying to build as CDP proxy’s.  I can setup as regular VMware Proxy’s, but when I attempt to install the CDP Proxy, I get the below errors.Error    Failed to save Veeam CDP proxy: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it <IP Address>:6182Error    Infrastructure item save failed Error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it <IP Address>:6182 This is my first time using Linux CDP proxy’s.  I did have Windows Proxy’s in place but was having an issue with starting the CDP service on those machines after upgrading to 12.1 and decided to just remove those VM’s because they were 2012 R2 and are being replaced/retired anyway.  Unfortunately, I’m not super well-versed in Linux so I’m learning here.  T

Hi all,  i’d like to clarify a best practice scenario for SOBR with Azure Blob storage.Environment (short) Veeam B&R v12.x — SOBR: Perf = Data Domain, Capacity = Azure Blob Cool (immutability 25 d + 10 d block generation), Archive = Azure Archive. GFS: Weekly 5 weeks, Monthly 7 months (~210 d). Goal: 30 d in Cool, then ≥ 180 d in Archive (Azure minimum). Candidate options (please advise which is best practice) Option A (simple & compliant, slight extra Cool cost): Keep Monthly = 7 months and Archive-after = 30 d. Keep immutability 25 + 10 = 35 d (Capacity cleanup deferred until D+35; ~5 extra Cool days). Option B (cost-optimized, if security allows): Set immutability = 20 + 10 = 30 d to align with Archive-after = 30 d, keep Monthly = 7 months. Option C (if keeping immutability 35 d and/or Archive-after 35 d): Increase Monthly = 8 months (~240 d) to stay ≥ 180 d in Archive in all cases. Question: Which option would you recommend as best practice (co

Hi,does anybody have experience in backup vms from elastic cloud server (ECS) in the open telekom cloud? My idea would be, installing veeam backup server inside the cloud. Backup the ECS with agents to an external storage provider AWS S3 oder WASABI for example.Greetings Hartmut

I am facing performance speed issues with the agent backup. The server capacity is 8TB, and it takes a very long time to complete the backup. Could you please advise if there are any solutions or recommendations to increase thebackup speed?

Hi Everyone, Just sharing another great event here in Brazil, The Veeam ON Tour!It was time to refresh our knowledge, make new friends and also, meeting another Harley Davidson bikers!! :-)Below: Beth, Jean, Matheus and I, all of us are  VUG Brazil Leaders.We were beside the OOBTI booth, here the OOBTI Team.  It was amazing!!!

Hi All,What is the best resolution to pull Agent backup job reports configured with GFS from VAC integration with REST API or Swagger not using Veeam ONE. Thanks,

Well some good news for those that are fans of my previous three books, today I was able to get my hands on something that will allow me to start the outline and process for the fourth book on v13.  Looking forward to delivering a fresh new take of Veeam v13 with the new appliance model and the JeOS ISO servers.I will also be covering the AI pieces as well that have been put in to the latest releases along with the new VONE v13.  I will see about the Windows version upgrade path and depending how long that takes might skip it from the book and just go with the appliance since this to me is the future.So hold on to your hats and hopefully I can aim to get this out early 2026.  If there are specific topics anyone wants to see covered feel free to post them here or DM me if you like. 😎

Dear Community, If you're a Veeam Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP), support workflows is a routine part of daily operations. Traditionally, raising support tickets with Veeam support involved a manual, time consuming process, collecting logs from tenant VBR servers or Agents, navigating remote access restrictions, and uploading everything to the my.veeam.com portal for investigation. This added unnecessary delays, especially when dealing with restricted environments or needing approvals. With the Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC), the entire process is streamlined. You can now open tickets directly from the VSPC portal, whether for your own infrastructure or tenant or a reseller and automatically attach the relevant logs. It’s a great improvement and significantly saves time creating support tickets and collecting the required log information. It also speeds up the investigation for Veeam Support Engineers, as they already have the logs from the beginning and don’t need to reque

Recently I had to configure a backup on a physical Linux server that stores over half a petabyte of traffic fine images collected from speed cameras on federal highways in Brazil.   The catch: this server runs critical client applications, and any migration to another server is extremely sensitive and requires careful planning before taking action. At the moment, a full migration wasn’t feasible.Due to the urgency of the demand, it was necessary to implement a backup solution immediately, but the server cannot go down for even one minute. Any downtime would mean fines not being recorded, resulting in immediate financial loss.  The Challenge of Backing Up a Mission-Critical Environment The client required backup implementation for compliance reasons. I use Veeam Agent for Linux, configuring the backup job at the volume level. To avoid impacting main traffic, I limited the throughput to 50 Mbps using Veeam’s throttling feature.     Everything seemed well planned, until I ran the first ba

More and more companies are depending totally of their ICT infrastructure (on-premises, private cloud, hybrid cloud, public cloud) …Ransomware and hackers are more popular than ever…Therefore one of the most important things is that the company has a solid backup strategy, so we can fall back at those in case of disaster or being impacted by ransomware or hackers.You can find very often the 3-2-1 rule. I suggest every customer or company to even go a step further : apply the 3-2-1-1-0 rule !3 : Maintain at least 3 copies of your data By three copies, I mean that in addition to your primary data, you should also have at least two more backups.Why?The chance that something is going wrong with 3 devices at the same time is a lot smaller than with 2 devices, especially when the primary backup is often situated close to the primary data. In case of a disaster the primary data and primary backup could be gone. The secondary backup is often situated somewhere else and could be the solution in

We've got a new blog post! This month, we're diving into the art of fine-tuning Veeam VBR for on-prem object storage. In this post we show how to optimize performance for Scale-Out Backup Repositories (SOBR) with a Capacity Tier, specifically addressing the challenges of using on-premises S3-compatible appliances. This with the registry key “S3ConcurrentTaskLimit”Click here to read the full blog post and learn more about Veeam registry keys! 

A customer uses the copy function for capacity tier to instantly copy on-premises Veeam backups (retention of 30 days) to object storage. They’ve configured object lock on the object storage (60 days) that has a duration longer than the local backup policy. As Veeam cannot delete a backup in object storage at 30 days, will it delete it after the object lock expires (60 days) or does the customer need to manually delete the  files on object storage?My thoughts are Veeam will clean up those files once the the 60 day lock has expired, but got me scratching my head for sure

Hello,We have three ESXi servers connected to our Nimble storage using a Brocade Fibre Channel switch, each ESXi server connects to Nimble storage with individual zone as: ESXi1_Nimble, ESXi2_Nimble, ESXi3_Nimbe.A few months after this configuration was done, we added a physical server for Veeam B&R v12 as backup server and repository, which is also a backup proxy server. This is connected to the same FC switch and I created zone between the Veeam B&R server and the Nimble storage as:  VeeamBR_NimbleAnd most recently, we added a HPE tape library to this mix for GFS tape backups. Added the library to the FC switch and created a zone between VeeamBR_HPETapeDrive. Each night, the Veeam B&R server runs backup jobs then stores into its local repository (D: drive). Then it runs backup to tape, which writes from the Veeam B&R backup repository into tape drive. I have already configured "Direct storage access" while configuring Backup proxy's Transport mode. The backup jobs do
