With the release of Veeam Data Platform 12.3 the Nutanix hypervisor is now displayed in the installation splash screen see figure 1 below. In addition some highly requested features have been added to this release see the screenshots below. Figure 1Enabling Nutanix Guest Tools is now an option in the backup job setup screen in the VBN AHV appliance see figure 2. The Nutanix Guest Tools setting will also be available in the VBR console once the job is created in the VBN AHV appliance. It will appear in the “Advanced Settings” Nutanix AHV tab see figure 3 below. 

I’ve created a migration guide for moving from Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 version 7 to version 8.  As you know, version 8 introduces a lot of new changes in the technology and architecture - like postgres database, centralized cache, and proxy pools.  This document will walk through the process of upgrading from v7 to v8, and migrating standalone proxies into the new proxy pools.  Be sure to take care around a “next next next” install, as now with Postgres and NATS, that’s additional workload on the VB365 controller.  It’s recommended to separate out the DB server from the VB365 server outside of the smaller deployments.

Last week Veeam released its newest Veeam Data Platform version – 12.3. Though I've only recently upgraded, after reviewing their What's New document and perusing around the Console a bit, I thought I would take some time to share with the Community some hidden gems in this newest VDP release.Some of us in the Community were already aware of a “big news” feature to be released “soon”, which was spoken about at VeeamON in Ft. Lauderdale back in June – Entra ID Backup. This feature did indeed make it as part of the v12.3 release…no need to wait for v13, slated for sometime in 2025 Q1 (hopefully). But, there are quite a few other features in this release you may not be aware of. So I thought I'd do another follow-up to my previous two Hidden Features posts –

We are using azure blob storage with immutable as our Veeam backup immutable backup. (Directly to azure with immutable). now, we are using azure export the blob storage to azure data box. Can we restore the data from there?From Veeam article, Veeam mentioned that “You cannot offload immutable data to the Azure Data Box Device”.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/data_box_seeding.html?ver=120#preparing-azure-data-box-for-shippingI just want to confirm that this article referencing Azure Data Box as a target inside the Veeam software. Once the data is produced by Veeam you can copy it anywhere? or we can't copy to other placeExport data from our repository on Azure Blob immutable storage, get the Azure databox shipped to us, and then restore from the data box

Hi All, I want to know Veeam to backup Nutanixby deploy more than one workers, can it choose which worker backup which host's VM for the backup job?

Our SIEM system (Splunk) has detected a risk event on the Veeam ONE Server, involving the creation and subsequent deletion of a user account: Veeam_6043-4343A67F. This action was performed by the user xxxx (a service account). However, no one within our team is aware of this activity, and we could not locate any corresponding event logs on the OS (Windows Server 2019) or within Veeam ONE.Could you please help us understand the following:Is it possible that Veeam ONE itself creates and deletes such user accounts as part of its internal processes? If so, what scenarios or mechanisms within Veeam ONE could result in this type of event?We need to explain this situation to our Security team to ensure that this activity is not a result of unauthorized access or malicious actions. Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for your assistance.

About 2 years ago I decided to try out Nutanix and learn a little about how it worked along with Veeam. Like most people this started with a Google search and several blog posts of others who have deployed Nutanix CE in their home labs, mostly nesting inside their VMware environments to save on necessary hardware. So, why not. I downloaded CE, carved out a VM on my VMware host, went through the steps and before long I had a single node cluster running. I setup a couple small VMs on it, added to my Veeam server, setup backups and backup copy jobs, and was off and running. Over time I left it running and didn’t really think much about it. Occasionally, someone would ask about Veeam capabilities with Nutanix and Cloud Connect, or something else, and I could show them, or test out what they wanted to try, but otherwise just left it running. Not too long ago, Nutanix released CE 2.0, however I waited, no rush

Simple one this, where is the feature comparison showing VDP ESSENTIALS, against the foundation, advanced, and premium? What features am I getting in essentials vs those enterprise grade versions basically? It matters because I’m watching the whats new webinar and there is a feature comparison going on but no mention of essentials? Thanks in advance!

Hello,I will implement Veeam Data Cloud for back up our M365 services such as exchange, onedrive, sharepoint and ms.team and the daily operational will be handled by our backup administrator.I have concern when we backup exchange mailbox, the backup administrator can ‘peek’ all the contents of the mailbox for all users.So can we have separate administrator for daily backup and prevent this user to ‘peek the inbox and in same time assign special user who can restore the mailbox? It’s no problem for this special user can peek’ the mailbox, the special user maybe can our CTO.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to resize the Veeam console, but the smallest size that I have still big, I can’t get is smaller than the screenshot bellow.Does anyone knows how to reduce even more the console big?Thank YOU 

I’m finding it very diffcult to find a configuration guide to setup an SOBR that offloads to AWS S3 Glacier archive tier. I understand the concepts but have no experience with AWS. Does anyone know of any guides that get down to the nuts and bolts of setting up the AWS infrastrcture? As I said, I’m new to AWS so need basics like how to apply permissions to resources (i.e. buckets) for users/groups. I’m looking for something on that level. 

Va atasez prezentarile Veeam, despre Zero Trust ArchitectureV-am pus si o prezentare despre Recon Scanner, pe care clientii Veeam Data Platform Premium il primesc (inclus) incepand cu Q4 2024. Recon Scanner ajuta la detectia (si corelatia) anomaliilor si vulnerabilitatile identificate si ca urmare, poate fi super util in protectia anti-ransomware.

Starting with Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3, it is possible to exclude specific events from being sent to the Syslog server. This can be done manually per event, or you can import an XML file with the events to be filtered.Handling this task and finding the necessary information can be time-consuming. Executing this task manually is “boring” and error-prone, so I created a simple PowerShell script to make the process easier by generating an XML file based on your chosen filters. Whether filtering by event IDs, categories, or specific filter types like Info, Warning, or Error, this script makes this task more fun.🕺🏿💃🏽For more details and examples of usage, check out the

Good day, I know this topic was mentioned, well actually a popular one to say the least. I was introduced to using the Port Finder tool in this forum, a very sweet interface, but it is a bit cumbersome to use.  I just need someone to simply provide the standard port numbers to enable in windows firewall for Veeam B&R 12. I clearly get the application group, but source and target service? please explainI just need port numbers to just enable quickly For:Backup Jobs and/or replication jobs communications between Hyper V Server comprising windows and linux vms Backup Proxy communication.That is all. I dont want to keep my windows firewall domain profile off indefinitely lol.  Does it mean that no one knows the actual port numbers directly.

 Resilient Data Protection using Scality ARTESCA and Veeam Backup & Replication Welcome to the 2nd and final blog co-authored with Pierre Gueant, Director of Solution Partners at Scality.  In this blog we will discuss how Scality’s ARTESCA product can provide you the confidence that your backup data is protected and available when you need it.The object storage journey for Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) really took off when VBR v9.5.4 was released in early 2019.  It was in VBR v9.5.4 that we saw the addition of the Capacity Tier to the already proven Scale-out Backup Repository (SOBR) which was introduced in version 9.0 towards the end of 2015.  What is a SOBR?The SOBR revolutionised the use of file based backup rep
