Recently found out that the Virtual Router’s port 443 is open. PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 10.3.14.205 -Port 443ComputerName     : 10.y.y.yRemoteAddress    : 10.y.y.yRemotePort       : 443InterfaceAlias   : _something.netSourceAddress    : 10.z.z.zTcpTestSucceeded : True I tried using systemctl and service commands to verify status. Both do not work in this strip down linux version.  Appreciate suggestions on how to remove apache2 or prevent it from starting at boot. 

Orchestrator Error, Veeam One Monitoring Service cannot access its database.Initially got the error, “The embedded Veeam Backup and Replication server is not Healthy, state = Communication Error”.So digging more into the issue showed the error above. When I ran VeeamOne client, it said it cannot connect to the Veeam One server.I noticed at the top of the client it shows Community EditionThis is weird, why would it say Community Edition, if VRO is showing a valid license

Hi guys,I have a file backup containing several NetApp shares, and at every backup the following error appears in the statistics: Error: Canot Find some NAS backup metadata sectionsIt is resolving that at “Retry 1” but it does this every single backup, and I want to know the root cause of it - even if it gets resolved eventually.(someone told me it might be that backup job contains a lot of NetApp shares, so it can’t “deal” with all of them then it drops few of them and then retires to back them up individually and with success… but i don’t know...) Please let me know if any of you have had the same issue and/or how did it get resolved Thanks!! 😁

When i migrate linux VM from vmware to hyper-v using instant recovery, the VM can boot up but when i migrate to production and the VM rebooted then the VM can’t boot up and stuck in dracut.Anyonw know why? 

Hi All,Wasnt sure where to post this so adding it here.Had a requirement recently to automate the process of adding YARA rules and found that ransomware.live has a great list! fantastic resources for those that havent looked at it yet.leveraging their API, I basically pull the rules and then copy them to the VBR server, pretty simple but hopefully going to improve it as things move on but figured id share with the wider team.https://homelabpro.xyz/posts/2025-05-09-dynamically-download-yara-rules/

I was able to setup and add/use the initial disk to the Backup Repositories. However, I’m thinking, it we reach the maximum drive size, we would need to add a second immutable disk to the Backup Repositories. In doing so, I encountered the following error:Since this is a different mount point, I’m assuming it should work. I tried re-adding the veeamuser (username used to add the original immutable disk) to sudo group and reset the password but still unable to add the 2nd immutable disk to the Backup Repo. My objective is to create an immutable SOBR that would allow adding disks as needed.What do you think am I missing here? Thanks

Hey folks,I work for a Veeam Reseller/MSP and have a quick question about per-VM backup chains.We have a tenant who's switching their local backups from legacy to per-VM format. On our end, all of our Cloud Connect repos are already set up for per-VM.Once they make the switch locally, will their backup copy jobs to us just keep going with incrementals since our side is already per-VM? Or will this trigger a new full backup on the service provider side?Ideally, we’re hoping the chain just continues without needing a new full. Just wanted to check if anyone’s been through this and can confirm.Thanks!

Hi Everyone, Last week at VeeamON I was asking people about SIEMS, if they are using them and if so which ones?I got a myriad of answers. So I wanted to put up a poll here asking if you use and which one?  

Hello everybody,I could not find any Solution in VEEAM Backup and Replication Console, neither searching on the Internet.But I want to request a Feature, so we are able to create Folders in the Backup-Job-View to organzie Backup-Jobs. For example:Daily Jobs SQL Jobsetc.Thanks in advance.

Nutanix has issued another end of sales document for Nutanix Mine. They want existing customers to migrate to Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS). There is currently no migration path for Nutanix Mine customers. They will have to build out a new cluster and copy their backups to the new cluster that is licensed for Nutanix Unified Storage. Please have customers reach out to the Nutanix reps to acquire appropriate licensing upgrade paths. I have attached the current EOS document below. Once the Veeam Nutanix Mine online documentation is updated it will also reflect this new document attached. The last supported version for Mine v4 will be Veeam Backup and Replication v12.x. Veeam Nutanix Mine System Requirements (Veeam Nutanix Mine documentation - update pending with new Nutanix EOS doc) 

Hi,I’m using VBR 12.3.1.1139 and have already successfully migrated the configuration database to a local PostgreSQL server (which was installed during the VBR update/setup).Now I’d like to move from the local db server to a centralized one. Therefore I started the configuration “Restore” process and again chose”migrate”. Typed in hostname, database name, name and password of native authorization. But when clickin on “connect”, I get a dialog (from the db server?) that the connection is refused, the phrase is “no pg_hpa.conf entry for host <hhhh>, user <uuuu>, database <dddd>, SSL off”The problem seems to be “...database <dddd>...” whereas <dddd> is NOT what I entered into the migration dialog under “database name”. The centralized pg server only permits a certain database for each of their users.Our pg server tells me that VBR wants to connect to <dddd> where <dddd> is in fact the name of the user VBR is running

Hi all,I have a feature request: can it be made possible to offload backups of Azure SQL databases created with Veeam for Microsoft Azure from VBR to Wasabi or other object storage using a copy job?At the moment this is possible for Azure VM's of which backups are made on blob storage. For Azure SQL it is only possible to make backups on blob storage so there is actually no offsite backup possible…

 Sometimes, we need to remember some basic concepts to understand what happens "under the hood" in operations we perform on a day-to-day basis, such as performing an application-consistent backup and how to troubleshoot it. So, what is Microsoft VSS?Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is a volume backup framework in Microsoft Windows Operating Systems.It integrates with many applications and backup solutions, like Veeam Backup & Replication, to provide application-consistent backups. Why is VSS used? Some enterprise applications m

Hi AllI have been working on a 1 stop shop for everything Veeam Data Platform 12.3 documentation wiseThis includes a break down on the subscription offerings, and deploying and configuration information forVeeam Backup And ReplicationVeeam Enterprise ManagerVeeam ONEVeeam Recovery OrchestratorIts not an entirely complete guide, some bits I dropped out of the scope, as Veeam has SO much stuff and this was already getting long, so I covered what I felt was the most important featuresIts sectioned out to make it easier to read and due to the massive scope on itMost bits should adhear to best practicesI hope this helps people get the most out of Veeam, as I feels its the best out there and offers so much value in its feature sethttps://blog.leaha.co.uk/2025/04/22/v

Hi Everyone,Over the past few months, like many others, my role has shifted slightly.After years of working deeply with VMware technologies (vSphere, NSX, vSAN, Veeam integrations, etc.), I’m now also helping customers explore adjacent or complementary solutions — especially in Kubernetes-native environments.One technology that comes up a lot is KubeVirt — a way to run VMs inside Kubernetes clusters, alongside containers.It's not intended to replace vSphere, and it’s certainly not a "better vs worse" situation. It's simply different — and the learning curve can catch you off guard if you approach it expecting it to feel like vCenter.While working with KubeVirt, here are a few key takeaways I thought might be helpful to share: Storage is very different: Instead of datastores and VMDKs, you deal with Kubernetes PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs) and CSI drivers. Live migration depends heavily
