Hi alltogether,a customer of mine is planning a NetApp solution running NetApp Synchronous SnapMirror as DR / HA solution. I know it is offically not supported stated in the documentation.But is only the snapmirror to the secondary system and restore from second system not possible? Or is the backup from primary storage snapshot and snapshot creation possible within NetApp Synchronous Mirror? Thanks, Dennis

Buenas noches,Bloqueado "OK" para guardar la modificación o configuración del ProxyLuego de hacer instalado el Veeam ONE en Windows Server 2022 no puedo modificar la configuración del Proxy de Windows (inetcpl.cpl), al dar CLIC en “OK” no lo acepta, así que no me permite asignar el proxy para poder actualizar la huella del Antimalware.Ya revise la políticas locales y no tengo ninguna para las opciones de Internet.Puedo agrégalo de forma manual a nivel de registro de Windows y puedo navegar, pero sin embargo, sigue fallando la actualización de la huella del Antimalware.Por favor, alguien me puede ayudarSaludos y gracias de antemano,--------------------------------Good evening,After installing Veeam ONE on Windows Server 2022 I cannot modify the Windows Proxy settings (inetcpl.cpl), when I click on “OK” it does not accept it, so it does not allow me to assign the proxy to be able to update the Antimalware footprint.I have already checked the local policies and I do not have any for the I

Hi Community.  I have an Azure storage account I am no longer using as a repository for VBAz policies.  I was going to delete the account until I noticed there are three containers named “veeamdeployer<random>”, and each container contains the same 3 files: veeamDeploymentdll.dll, veeamDeploymentSvc.exe, and veeamNetworkRedirector.exe.  Does anyone know if these containers and files are needed now that I’m well beyond deployment into Azure?  Thank you.

Who here is using it and who is not? I’m going to start this thread to get an idea of how long the first jobs will take following enable it. Please list the approximate size of your data, or specific jobs, and how long compared to normal the first backup was due to not using CBT. Myself I am wanting to enable it, but really wish I could enable it on 1 backup job at a time as the CPU load is not as much of a concern as the added time to my backup window.   

Hello,I’ve created a bootable USB Drive using the “Create Recovery Media” tool and wanted to test the bare metal recovery. But every time I boot from the USB stick a Windows Recovery screen appears saying the kernel is missing or contains errors.And after searching for this issue I found this post which describes the exact problem I have: https://superuser.com/questions/1804131/windows-10-re-kernel-is-missing-or-contains-errorsPS: I’m using Veeam Agent for Microsft Windows to create the backups

Anyone have insight into restoring files to a domain share when all Veeam components are in a dedicated workgroup? When we rebuilt our environment we made the choice to go workgroup vs. management domain (or primary domain). Little did we know at the time this was going to cause some headache restoring files back to our domain file share. We were under the impression the restore process would use the same account it used to back the data up but apparently it does not work this way (unless we’re missing something). Our current workaround is to restore this to a directory on the management server and then move it to the domain file share with an appropriately privileged user account. Not ideal but for smaller restores it’s working. 

Hi, has anyone configured the Oracle plugin/RMAN file, so that one copy is made locally and then it is sent to the Veeam repository using the plugin? Is this possible or if I want to have a copy in two locations (local and Veeam) do I have to use, for example, the Linux Agent and copy the folder with the copy made by RMAN?

For those using Wasabi as part of their data storage architecture, the following Wasabi knowledge base articles have been updated for 12.2:How do I create a Backup Copy Job in Veeam v12 with Wasabi?How do I create a Backup Job in Veeam v12 to Backup to Wasabi?How do I create a Backup Job in Veeam v12 to backup to Wasabi using a Scale-out Repository?Have a great day!

Hi,I am planning to deploy Veeam CDP in our organization. I would like to know if anyone here has already experienced it in production and what their opinion.Veeam is a very good product and we've been using it for several years. By asking this question, we just want to be sure that the CDP is stable and works well in a Vmware environment without any negative impact.Thank you in advance for your answers. 

Hey Community! Presently I am migrating my on-prem Exchange to O365 and before I get too far along having a backup solution in place might be a good thing. Mind you I have no experience backing up O365.Seems to be three options I get to choose from:Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Veeam Data Cloud Microsoft 365 Backup (sorry, not a Veeam product)They all seem to have their own strengths and liabilities, just wondering the Communities’ opinion and experience with them.From what I gather Veeam Backup is reasonably priced, but bring your own storage and make sure you have the time and knowledge to administer this option.Data Cloud seems pretty cool but a bit spendy for the Premium version at $6.75 user/month and it leverages Microsoft 365 storage and resources. At least according to Microsoft. Non the less it does provide a 3-2-1 solution and almost unlimited data storage.“We partner with many independent software vendors (ISVs) to provide differentiated versions of their applications integ

Hi,I have upgraded Veeam backup and Replication from V12.0 to V12.2.When I logon to console it ask me to upgrade Veeam VSS Hardware snapshot provider.If I try to upgreade it give me this error:Product: Veeam VSS Hardware Provider -- Minimum supported OS version for Veeam VSS Hardware Provider is Microsoft Server 2012 (64-bit only). How can I resolve this issue? thanksFabio

We just had the situation during an upgrade from 12.0 to 12.2 that the installer complained with the following message:In our case it was related to the Veeam Agent for Unix (actually Solaris).But in general, this can happen with any other module as well.First, we tried to nudge the installer to the *.MSI for this package on the mounted 12.2 ISO manually (VAUredist.msi). But the installer would not want this package.Reason is, that you have to provide the *.MSI of the older version, that you want to replace with the current upgrade.Background: Windows holds an MSI cache for every installed program. Usually in the hidden path C:\windows\installer.If, for whatever reason, you loose an MSI in the cache (inappropriate cleanup, unintended deletion, AV-scanner over-reacting, etc.) you will not be able to uninstall the program.This is actually what happened during the VBR upgrade. The MSI for the older “Veeam Agent for Unix Redistributable” was not on the machine any more. But the installed m

Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1 + Spectra BlackPearl = On-Prem Archive Tier Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) v12.1 is loaded with many great new features and enhancements.  One of the new features is the extension of the Archive Tier to on-premises storage solutions that are Amazon S3 Glacier compatible.  Spectra’s BlackPearl S3 Hybrid Cloud Storage is one of those solutions.But what is the Archive tier?  It was first introduced in Veeam Backup & Replication v11 back in February of 2021.  The Archive tier is an additional tier of storage that can be attached to a scale-out backup repository (SOBR).  You can transport applicable data to the archive tier for archive and cost saving purposes.The following types of backups files are eligible to be sent to the archive tier:GFS backups Orphaned GFS backups Veeam Backup for Red Hat Virtualization GFS backups VeeamZip backups Exported backups Kasten K10 backups For the purpose of this blog I will be using backup files with GFS f

I have seen may posts on the above topic but not is the resolutions have fixed my problem.  The account used is part of the local admin group, is part of the domain administrator group and has log on as a service.  When running the backups, most VM’s (VMware) fail with the subject matter.  When I run the Test Credential on the same backup group, most pass successfully, but then fail when the backup begins.At a loss as to where to go to next.

Good day everyone, Did some checks, seem as if for my HyperV Backups, reverse incremental is the only option recommended to save space. My management team dont plan to increase/purchase additional space anytime soon.I am seeing A LOT of VBK, VBM and VIB files,  i tell you, just incrementally taking up space. Over the weekend one fullbackup windows server agent job had like 4 vbk files (at various states/dates) with multiple vib backed over time (based on schedule not stipulated by me, but management). The local repo RAN out of space, 0 bytes free. This repo is like 7 TB, small i guess.Which is the best method you would recommend to save save space for both Hyper V and Windows Agent backups? 

 Ever had your backups fail? I sure have! But it’s all part of the fun & games of learning exactly how these systems work.Recently I spun up another instance of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure, and as part of my security mindset, I configured some elements of hardening to my infrastructure. Well, I missed a setting that I’m going to share with you today. Worker Job Completed with Error So, I had Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure working, my daily snapshot job was also running fine, but it was the daily backup that wasn’t working. Some of the key terms I could pick out from the logs were ‘Worker: <Resource Name> (IP Address:Port): job completed with error’, ‘Error: This request is not authorised to perform this operation’, ‘Status 403’, and ‘ErrorCode AuthorizationFailure’ were the error messages I was being greeted with. Dissecting the Errors The key hint here was the job task ‘Backing up <VM Name> to Backup Repository. Followed by the worker not being authorised.Within

Hi,Anyone can help with this error from a physical server backup?“10:30:32    Calculating digests Error: Could not find file 'C:\Windows\TEMP\tmp171E.tmp'. Could not find file 'C:\Windows\TEMP\tmp171E.tmp'.  “ 

Hi Community -Yes..I ask questions too! 😉 I recently noticed a subset of my Backup Jobs performance going from hundreds of MB/s to just 5-10MB/s since last Fri. I updated my Veeam environment on Sun and initially thought it happened after that (I noticed yesterday a few jobs took 4-14hrs to run!), but after further investigation I found the perf drop started 1st thing Fri morning. I have 2 other subsets of Jobs which run fine. Each of the 3 “sets” of Jobs use different Proxies and Repositories. So this whole subset which use a certain physical Linux Proxy and physical Linux Repo has this performance issue. Another subset which uses a different set of physical Proxy and Repo boxes are fine. And the last subset of Jobs which use hotadd are fine. So I’ve obviously narrowed down the issue is either the physical Proxy or Repo on this subset. The Job stats went from bottleneck of Source in the 90% range to Target in the high 90% range. I’ve checked my Proxy frontward and backward. All confi

We plan to do daily backups to a tape (which can be added but not deleted) for 7 days. I am confused on the following options in Veeam. Which one to use . I have  gone through the user guide, but need a simple advise on the usage scenarios. Please adviseWORM Tape protection Retention period

HelloA customer configured his Wasabi bucket with immuability set on Wasabi side. I know is not the recommendation in term of configuration normaly I set versionning and objectlock on the bucket only and the immuability is set in the repository Veeam.The problem is the consumption continues to grow on the bucket. In Veeam the number of restore points are correct but I have a lot of error in the SOBR task like: Not good!A lifecycle policies has been set, but I never used this kind of rule so I m not sure of the result especialy with Veeam. In Veeam in the repository we have this warning: The rules is in place but…. the delete is not working Have you already handle this kind of configuration ?

I’m having an issue with backuping up one of my servers using Veeam Backup & Replication Version 12. Its been 15 days and I keep on getting this error:Processing [Server NAME] Error: Connection problems. Task failed. Error: Connection problems.

 I’m noticing that memory usage spikes to 95% every 15 minutes before dropping back down. Upon reviewing the history, it seems that the Configuration Database Resynchronize is performing a scan during these spikes.Is there a specific reason why the database synchronization needs to happen every 15 minutes, even in the absence of active backups? Is there a way to reduce the frequency of this synchronization?
