Hello everyone, I'm continuing my exploration of Veeam v13. Today, I'm sharing with you a presentation of the Web UI and the thick client. In this first section, we will cover:Configuring a component via the WebUI Configuring a component via the thick client Configuring a backup job from the WebUI Performing a restore from the WebUIEnjoy the read!Find my previous article here :  1. Veeam Software Appliance WEB UI / Console⚠️ Reminder: We are testing a beta version here. Some features are still missing, incomplete, or may not be included in the final release.Deployment: In this Beta version, to deploy V13 as a virtual machine, the following prerequisites are required:Two hard drives of at least 256 GB each are mandatory. I have allocated 4 vCPUs and 16 GB of vRAM. Rocky Linux is used as the OS type, as this is what Veeam uses here. A paravirtualized SCSI adapter will be used by default.Additional Information:The design of the WebUI interface is 80% complete. The thick client interface i

As promised in Part XV, today we will be looking at common environment architecture topics. These are very important parts of planning and operating a secure backup environment.Of course, the backup environment cannot be viewed in isolation from the rest of the IT landscape. Everything interacts and influences each other. There are specific requirements for backup, but most of the considerations in this text also apply to the production environment. However, I will still refer to the backup environment in this text.But – as always – it is not an aspect that alone leads to a secure environment. Therefore, in this context we will also look at some side aspects in general.Designing an effective backup environment architecture is pivotal for maintaining data integrity, availability, and security in today's data-centric world. What are the main threats to backup data?Wrong placement of backup environment components Hardware damage to backup systems Power outages or disasters at one location

If Oracle backup provided over backup job with application aware processing, has limitation with restore i regards of number of channels. Restore via gui is possible over Veeam Enterprise and via Veeam Oracle Explorer:Veeam Enterprise Manager is restore possible only via 1 channel Veeam Oracle Explorer by default has set 1 channel To change number of channels for Veeam Enterprise manager is not possible, but is possible to change number of channels via Veeam Oracle Explorer via config.xml file: %programdata%\Veeam\Backup\OracleExplorer\Config.xml Content example: <Veeam>  <OracleExplorer>    <Oracle RmanCopyJobChannelsCount="4" />    <Oracle RmanCopyJobChannelsByDatafilesCount="true" />  </OracleExplorer></Veeam>  Our tests speed:>> - 1 channel: - 115 GB, 18 mins 109 MByte/sec>> - 4 channels: - 115 GB, 15 mins 130 Mbyte/sec>> - 12 channels: - 115 GB, 14 mins 135 Mbyte/sec The speed could not be much difference, but in case of TB of

I started a file restore which is taking a long time to come back with the file explorer so in the mean time my veeam session times out. How do I get back to that restore session? If that makes sense.

Dear Community, Anyone face this issue if yes kindly guide how to fix this. Failed to upgrade host components. Error: 'Exception of type 'Veeam.Backup.Common.CAppException' was thrown.'

Hello Veeam Community, I want to share a recent experience I encountered with the Linux-based Veeam Backup Appliance (used via plug-in to protect GCP workloads). This is part of our growing environment where we use Veeam Backup for Google Cloud. Issue Summary:Yesterday, I ran into a serious issue where the backup appliance became unresponsive. Here’s what happened: Problem Description:Appliance DB disk was full this caused log files to pile up. Logs were not auto-deleting, consuming critical DB disk storage space. The appliance showed the following errors below: "Failed to get server IP address" "Backup Appliance is unavailable"The Veeam plug-in was unable to communicate with the appliance, and no backups could proceed at that point.    Root Cause:The database disk inside the appliance reached full capacity. ( Above Screenshot ) Logs under the appliance’s backup storage directory were accumulating over time. The appliance could not boot its services properly due to no free space, which

Hi all,I have the above error and can’t seem to find a solution. With the research I’ve done so far, some suggested this is an account authentication issue. I’ve ensured that this is not the case. I’ve checked to see if the the port 11731 is being used by another process. It’s not. It’s free and listening. I tried recreating the job, no joy. I’ve rebooted the server to nil effect.Does anyone have any other suggestions?Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I'm facing issues when trying to upgrade VBR from 12.3.1 to 12.3.2.EM went fine, but when I try to upgrade VBR, I get an error:"Failed to user specified user account. Error code: 0x00000057".I am running the setup as a domain admin. I also tried to run the setup logged in as the Veeam service account (which is also a domain admin), and as a local admin on the VBR server. All resulted in the same error.Anybody seen this before? I also created a case with Veeam support: 07736493 

Hi All, when i tried to restore guess file , i faced an error like this below, could you please help ?

Hi,Has anybody successfully integrated Trend Deep Security so that Veeam can scan backups?Veeam support had no answers, reach out to trend which weren't helpful.  If you have, could you please share the AntivirusInfo.xml settings you have setup? Thank YouChris 

Hi everyone, I'm trying to reinstall my Veeam BK server because we recently suffered a ransomware attack and had to remove it. Is it possible to recover the information I have stored in the data domain where the backups are hosted? Without having the configuration file? I only have the license.Thanks.

Hi everyone,I’m encountering an issue with an Off-Host backup job in Veeam. The job fails with the following error:"Selected server HV01 is unavailable."Here’s what makes this confusing: HV01 is the Veeam Backup Server itself I’m currently logged in to HV01, and it's definitely online The VM being backed up is up and running It’s just one VM in this Off-Host backup job I’ve already checked the Veeam services, DNS resolution, and proxy configuration – all seem fine Any idea why Veeam thinks the server is unavailable – even though it’s the Veeam server itself?Thanks in advance for any help or pointers!Cheers

I had the chance to spend some of my evenings on adding some more functionality to my little pet project… or as I have been referring to it, the RVtools for your Cloud and Kubernetes environments and platforms. We already had the ability to grab details on your Kubernetes, AWS and Azure resources, I also did add some Veeam Backup & Replication inventory as well. With this 0.0.3 release we added Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Terraform State File inventory. But probably the biggest feature has been around the user experience. The concept of the tool was to be able to use either the CLI or browser and this remains the same but the UI now can be used with a lot more flexibility. I did a full on demo session of the state of the project and would love to get your feedback. What should I add next? What are we missing? What doesn’t work?  Project can be found here - https://github.com/MichaelCade/kollect

Hi.I have Veeam One 12.3.0 installed and running. When I start setup.exe form 12.3.2 version I have only option Install instead Upgrade. Is any way to force upgrade mode? Or some registry changes maybe? Thanks and regardsPiotr

We are using a Quantum Scalar i3 tape library with a 25-slot license. Accordingly, we've created a partition for 25 tapes and currently have 25 tapes loaded, the cleaning tape ist tape 26 and not in the partition.The problem:We need to perform a cleaning operation via Veeam using the cleaning tape. However, the cleaning tape is not showing up under 'Unrecognized' or anywhere else in the tape libraries within Veeam.When trying to initiate automatic cleaning from Veeam, it says it cannot find the cleaning tape.Steps already taken: Rescanned the tape library in Veeam Performed a full inventory Ran a catalog operationAdditional Information:• Library Firmware Version: 330G.GS118• Veeam Version: 12.3.1.1139• The cleaning tape is correctly shown in the Quantum Scalar i3 web interface. It has the type set to 'Cleaning', a barcode 'CLN001L1', and is marked as 'Accessible'. Its location is also properly listed.• The cleaning tape is not in the partition of the 25 Tapes.Description of the Library

 Over the last few years, the time to execute ransomware attacks dropped 94%; now, criminals take, on average, just 3.85 days to deploy a ransomware attack.On the other side, according to the “Veeam Ransomware Trends – 2023 Global Report”, recovering the affected environment after a ransomware incident takes an average of 3.3 weeks of work, equivalent to 136 business hours of business downtime.Here is the link for this Veeam’s report:https://go.veeam.com/ransomware-trends-report-2023Along with exploiting application vulnerabilities, hackers heavily utilize client-side compromise techniques to deploy ransomware.In each attack, criminals must take well-known steps to reach their targets. Based on this, models were created to identify and prevent cyber intrusion activity. One of the most famous is the Cyber ​​​​Kill Chain, developed by Lockheed Martin.For this purpose, we will focus on four stages of a client-side attack: delivery of exploitation, installation, command-and-control, propag

We are using Veeam Enterprise Backup & Replication 12 in a mixed VMware VM and physical Windows network.We have upgraded all of our Windows servers to Server 2025. Backups on non-domain controllers had no issue post update but our domain controllers are all failing with the same error once the OS was upgraded: Failed to index guest file system. VSSControl: Index failed There are no connectivity issues between the domain controllers and the Veeam servers and proxies. The domain controllers were not all upgraded on the same day, but each would fail as soon as the OS upgrade occurred. So one day the DC running on Server 2022 would be able to be backed up with no issues, the night its upgraded it would fail. No other changes other than OS upgraded. No changes to virtualization or network infrastructure.  

VBR and VEM using PostgreSQL, however VeeamONE still using MSSQL, I am looking forward to see VeeamONE using PostgreSQL, it will be great to unify the DBs for Veeam infrastructure.

Hi,I have recently inherited a site using Veeam Backup & Replication V12One of the components of a Backup Copy Job is failing with the following errorCannot proceed with the job: existing backup meta file 'XXX-XXX-DC01_764B4.vbm' on repository 'XXX-XXX-BK02 - VMs' is not synchronized with the DB. To resolve this, run repository rescan When I run the “repository rescan” I get the warning belowFailed to import backup path /|drs-vms|backups|XXX-XXX-BK02 VM Copy|Cluster Windows VM Dailys|AIR-PIC-DC01_764B4.vbm Details: Root element is missing.387164The repository is offsite and it is a Ubuntu SystemAny advice would be appreciatedThank You

In part I of this series we have seen how to move a tape library with all data to another VBR server which has already data on it.https://community.veeam.com/blogs-and-podcasts-57/veeam-and-tape-i-moving-a-tape-library-with-data-from-one-vbr-server-to-another-1654 The open question was, how do I get my tapes with data to the correct media pools without losing my data…When you select to move a tape to a media pool the following message appears:So, the tapes are marked free, and the data is lost when a tape is moved? A quick check of the helpcenter and the forums says exactly this…https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/moving_tapes_to_custom_pool.html?ver=110But is this correct?Fortunately, it is not. The tape is marked free when it is moved, but the data on the tape is not lost. Its metadata is deleted from the Veeam database – and this can be recreated. All the tapes from the new library are assigned to the pool “Imported”   Move the tapes to their corresponding media pools.

I am setting up VBO to back up 365 data to the cloud as we are starting to migrate all users to 365. I have read it’s best to separate repos instead of just having one repo for the whole organization.Anyone have an example of best setup? So far I am starting out creating separate repos for OneDrive, Teams, Sharepoint, Groups and separate jobs for each one of those. Is this a good approach? I was also going to add one more repo for Users. Would that cover everything for now as we are currently still using exchange on prem?  Should I also make one repo and job for the entire Org with all data in it? Or only have one repo with everything in it? Just want to make sure I set it up properly so I don’t realize I should have set it up differently a year down the road. Thanks!

Scenario:Very recently a customer asked me if Veeam could leverage Data Domain mtree replica for DR purposes.Of course, the answer is YES! While this idea is not new, I thought it would be a good reminder of Veeam’s backup import capabilities. Steps:You must use Data Domain repository on the source site. It most likely will be declared as a DDboost share. The mtree should be replicated to the DR site. Note that the mtree replica will be Read Only! The mtree replica needs to be exposed as a share over your protocol of choice (CIFS, DDboost), so it can be defined in the DR VBR server. In this example, I chose DDboost.Note again that this DDboost share is Read Only! The last step is to declare that DR DDboost share and import backups You should now be able to access these backups from the “Disk (Imported)” section. Remember that you will have to manually rescan that repository in order to refresh new “mtree replicated” restore points.
