Hello. Used VEEAM 12.2.0.334 Veeam Cloud Virtual Machine Using agents for Windows operating systems, I copy and backup data. Virtual machines on Linux can recover granular files. When trying to restore Windows files, an error occurs when mounting FLR browser.Veeam is installed on a Windows 2019 server, reduplication is enabled on it. Using the agent, I make AD backups and can restore files.  But if I do exactly the same task on a friend’s virtual machine, changing only the virtual machine that I want to copy, I can’t restore the files.  It turns out to do instance recovery and extract data from the running VM.But when copying, exchange does not allow you to restore letters. If I backup only drive C, then I can restore the files of the Windows guest operating system.  Although the tasks are completed without errors.  It turns out that the backup browser works very selectively. Maybe because som

 When I create a backup job and enable GFS retention, are the GFS backups automatically included in the secondary backup Copy jobs or do I need to configure GFS retention separately for the secondary Backup Copy jobs?

Backup Jobs not doing Storage Snapshot using vSAN.We have a VBR in Azure (AVS). The VMs are on volumes in vSAN. So the backup job finishes successfully. However, instead of doing a storage snapshot, the job does hot-add. The job has been configured to use storage snapshot. Since the VM snapshot is not removed right away, consolidation takes longer which affect the application running on the servers.   

Hi!We have a Hypervisor server running Windows server 2016. On this we have veeam backup and replication. We had multiple electric outages. UPS damaged and the server received multiple power outages. Fortunately it started, but Veeam does not. It has sql server, but its service with automatic delayed start but is not starting. To manual start still nothing. Event log saying: “the log scan number (5815:437:1) passed to log scan in database ‘master’ is not valid. This error may indicate data corruption or that the log file (.ldf) does not match the data file (.mdf). If this error occurred during replication, recreate the publication. Otherwise, restore from backup if the problem results in a fuilure during startup.”Seems to me the database damaged. What can I do to fix this? Fix would be preferred if fails how can i create new database to start creating new backups?Thank youPeter

Hi,I have a NAS which is supposed to be offline and switched off most of the time and which will be brought up only for rare occasions to save a monthly manual backup i.e.. It is attached to my vSphere/Windows Server/Veeam VBR-setup.I have played around with my normal steps like I normally attach repositories to Veeam, but due to the NAS being offline most of the time there are too many things any involved component may and will stumble about (Windows Server missing a disk while booting, Windows Server freezing when NAS shuts down etc.).What would be a promising approach to make the storage available to Veeam without having all the red warning lights?RegardsKarl

The Knowledge Base article for using Backup for Microsoft 365 v8 has been updated for creating a backup to Wasabi. The new/updated article is available here - https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/create-a-backup-to-wasabi-on-veeam-backup-for-microsoft-365-v8

When I try to upgrade Veeam, or when I try to apply a new license, I get a prompt about my server being managed by a Veeam Enterprise Manager server like the prompt below. But I don't have one? How can I fix this? This is a question that comes up from time-to-time here in the Community Hub as well as the Veeam Subreddit. Generally, the subject, me in today's example, has a VBR server in place, and previously had a Veeam Enterprise Manager server as well, but VEM server since been removed and VBR doesn't know it because there's still an entry referencing VEM in the VBR configuration database. Enterp

I am not seeing any option to export the jobs. Am I missing something here? I dont want to use Configuration backup option just to export job configuration. There has to be a simple way to export the jobs or an enhancement should be raised to include this in future releases.  

Hello,We have an issue on some Veeam backup server, some jobs do not do the synthetic backup and here we will have an excess on the number of restore points set by veeam job.We need to get alert on job who’s exceeds a number of restore points.Need help 

If the Veeam Management Agent for a client is removed (stop managing) from the SPC, the option should be present for the Management Agent to first uninstall the Windows Backup Agent and delete all configuration from disk first (full cleanup for customer leaving). At present the Management Agent is removed but the associated Veeam Windows Backup Agent is left behind, orphaned (and in the case of a locked UI, inaccessible to the user) and then requires manual uninstallation.

Are full backups always created during daily tape jobs, or does it depend on the specific backup configuration?

Today Veeam updated the VB365 v8 page with an update to a new patch version - 8.0.3.1044 - KB4656: Release Information for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 8 Cumulative PatchesI downloaded and tried to run the installer and received the following error, so wanted to know if anyone else has tried this latest ISO?  I am not in Production just yet with this so just working through updating and have opened a case with Veeam too.If anyone has got this and fixed it let me know.  I will post back once Support gets back to me.

Hello, As you may know I have been working for some time with several tools to document or diagram the Veeam Backup & Replica Infrastructure. In the latest version of Veeam.Diagrammer the ability to generate a diagram of the infrastructure has been added. Here is the link:https://techmyth.blog/posts/veeam-diagraming-infra/ Greetings from the Caribbean :) 

I have recently seen many people posting about issues with jobs, etc. and then some of the error messages they are seeing.  If you want to analyze the Veeam logs to see if you can troubleshoot the issue yourself you can follow the attached PPT file which is a Log Diving session from 2017.  It is a great resource and shows you where and what to look for in the logs with examples too.Log Files are located here - C:\ProgramData\VeeamThis is where you will find the logs for the respective jobs.  Like backup jobs are located in the “Backup” folder then broken down in to subfolders by job name.Hopefully this helps people when it comes to troubleshooting job failures as I have used this PPT file many times to help me prior to calling Support. 

Hi all…If I have 3 sites each have individual VBR serve, Veeam console and own repo.They are managed by 3 different departments staff.And there is a DR site only has 1 physical server and repo , which save some critical VMs for the 3 production sites.To increase the SLA, can I deploy CDP and VDRO for this 3-to-1 environment?First thing is need to virtualize the server on DR site?

 I have a question about backup job configuration when using S3 repository with immuability enabled.In the job retention if I set only 14 days without GFS, it means Forever incremental mode for me.If I click next I don’t have any error or warning to enable GFS like I could have with a Hardened repository.I remember on object, we only copy new blocks not files. Once immutability expires, unused/expires blocks are just deleted, but it’s not really clear for me.More intrigant Veeam is in capacity to “Merge” the files … and apply the retention ...The immutability works if I tried to delete the files

As a Domain Administrator, it's likely you've never performed a KRBTGT password reset. Especially since the account appears disabled when viewed in Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC). However, the KRBTGT account is not disabled. This is misleading due to the special nature of the KRBTGT account. This is because it operates under special security permissions and restrictions that prevent its normal use. Such as interactive logon or enabling or disabling the account actions. The disabled icon or status is simply an indication that it cannot be used for normal operations This critical account is automatically created when a Domain Controller (DC) is provisioned and is used by the Key Distribution Center (KDC) to issue and sign Kerberos tickets, which are essential for Kerberos authentication.In this article “

Veeam Plug-in restore a SQL Server database to an alternate server Frequently, the DBA must restore a database backed up from one server to a different server. To restore a SQL Server database backed up with the Veeam plug-in, there are a couple of key steps to follow. This example uses simple configuration. There are 2 SQL Server hosts with several databases on each. Backup has been performed on both SQL1 and its related server, SQL2. The goal is to restore a single database backed up on SQL2 to the server SQL1. Pre-requisite configuration The correct repository must be in place for restore to occur. The two servers being used may have been storing data to different repositories. The first step is to verify the appropriate repository where the backup data exists to the server where the restore is to occur. Change the configuration if necessary. Restore

 What is Scan Backup?Scan Backup is a feature introduced in Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1 that focuses on early threat detection by scanning restore points for potential malware or other cyber threats. This functionality enhances data security by allowing administrators to identify clean restore points after a malware attack.How Does It Work?The Scan Backup process utilizes a rule-based detection approach like antivirus software. Here's how it operates:Restore Point Scanning: You can initiate a Scan Backup session to examine restore points for signs of malware or other threats. Detecting Clean Restore Points: Post-Attack Recovery: If a malware attack is suspected, the scan can identify the last clean restore point, helping you revert to a safe state. Unknown Attack Dates: If the exact date of the malware attac

This is a follow on from the NoSQL - MongoDB blog I posted a few weeks back now - The premise of the above was how to automate the standing up of a 3 node MongoDB replicaset within my vSphere environment to show off the new MongoDB functionality in Veeam Data Platform 12.3. This got me interested in looking back at some previous database functionality we have had in the Veeam Data Platform for a while but also how I could automate the deployment to make this a fast, repeatable process as well as the ability to share with the community. The process for the deployments will be using terraform to stand up the Windows or Linux boxes for the databases we cover and then using Ansible playbooks to install the database software and get things to our desired state. PostgreSQL A lot has been happening with PostgreSQL and Ve

My organization uses VMWare ESXi to manage all of our virtual machines.  We do not have the correct license to be able to do simple “copy” backups of our virtual machines (according to the error messages that I get when I attempt those).  We are having to run backups from the VEEAM agents, but, the last time that I had an issue and needed to restore, it was a pain in the a$$.  I’m assuming that this is because of the way that we are using the agents, but I really don’t know any better way.Would it be possible for someone to point me to or help me out with a step-by-step for the best practices for backing up our virtual machines?  How should my VM hard drives be set up to allow for the quickest possible backup/restore?
