Hi,I am running some tests on a demo installation of Veeam. I have set up a job with retention and immutability of 5 days. The full backup is done on Sunday and the incremental on Monday. on 3 August the chain immutability expired but on Sunday 4 August veeam did not remove the old chain (with expired retention and immutability verified by s3 browser) how come? 

Hi!I have been working with TP2 of Veeam M365 and have published the first (of several) blog articles on this topic:13 – Veeam M365 v8 Technical Preview 2 – Installation & Service Accounting – Disaster and Recovery (disaster-und-recovery.de)As I am known for my focus on security and hardening, I first looked at what the automatic creation of service accounts means and examined this in the lab. I am happy to go into further deep dives, feedback is welcome! Stay safe!Lukas

Hi,For those of you who are running HPE servers with ILO 5 or 6.We were hit hard last weekend when updating HPE ILO 5 from 3.05 to 3.06. It took our entire vSphere cluster down. See:https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-remote-server/warning-ilo-3-06-causes-crash-of-dl380-gen10-plus-server-with/m-p/7221633#M10163https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00141858en_us&docLocale=en_US     

I’m moving an artesca S3 bucket to another veeam host. The repo is part of a SOBR with a storeonce primary target. Rescan option cant be done directly on the repo but can on the SOBR…..however it seems to fail.  I’m concerned when moving to the new server, we wont see old backups. Thoughts?? 

HiI ask if Veeam community edition of Veeam is compatible with RHV, and if anyone has had experience. Gustavo

Hey there, we need Offsite-Backups of our Unstructured Data. Since the Backup Files are roughly 3,5 TB in Size, its impossible to get that Data to the Site directly due to slow Internet Connections. So i first configured a Secondary Target NAS for the Backup Job Onsite to get that Backup Copy onto it. I then moved that NAS to the Offsite Location, changed it’s IP and added it back into Veeam as a new Repository. Did a Rescan of that new Repo and Veeam found the Backup Data and added it. I now added that new Repo to the secondary Target in the Veeam File Backup Job and removed the first one (which was the same NAS with the Onsite IP which is now invalid). I then restarted the actual Backup Job. It created some data, finished teh Job and the new Backup Copy Job started. But here’s the problem: It completely ignores the Backup Copy already in existence on that (now) Offsite NAS and instead starts creating a whole new Backup Copy. This is absolu

Nutanix introduced AOS 6.8 and it is causing some API issues with Veeam Backup for Nutanix. This can result in restore failures and other issues. We are recommending Veeam customers not to upgrade until an updated version is available from Nutanix. The timeline we received for the update is later toward the end of the year. Please see the links below for the latest details😀.Veeam Forums link https://forums.veeam.com/nutanix-ahv-f51/aos-6-8-veeam-ahv-support-interoperability-validation-t93415.htmlVeeam Backup for Nutanix User Guide (Supported Versions)https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbahv/userguide/system_r

I was alerted to the CVE in some Slack RSS feeds.  I figured why not get the new patch that was released and installed it. Quite simple and straight forward, which is usually the case with Veeam.I did a bit of digging into the KB and was quite excited to see that they included more features into this than I was expecting. I figured this was mostly to fix the CVE’s.   New Features and EnhancementsPlatform SupportAlmaLinux 9.3 and Rocky 9.3 supported for use as Linux-based backup repositories and backup proxies.

Hi ALL,I am running VBR11 and VBAz 4.0, recently all my AzureVM backup started failing. I still have over 3months of license validity.I can no longer connect to the VBA from my VBR console only can access from the browser.We are getting the following error; "Client secret has expired. Use a valid client secret or renew the application on the Service Account Type tab.This was done however the issue still persists.My Infra is still running older systems so upgrade was not an option hence no support available.Any thoughts?

Is there a way to change the temp location that Veeam B&R uses for the console?  We have a script that cleans out the C:\Windows\TEMP directory nightly and when it does, we can no longer launch the VB&R console.  I get an error “Access to the path ‘C:\Windows\TEMP\Veeam\$VeeamUpdates’ is denied”If I create C:\Windows\TEMP\VEEAM I can launch the console. The script is from our management software and I am not sure if changing the system variable will make a difference.  That is why I am asking if there is a way to change it in VB&R itself.Thanks

Hi, we have applied the available security patches and upgraded our Veeam backup Azure version 6 to 7 Yesterday. Since then, we are unable to go to the url that the FLR creates for any of our restore requests using Veeam appliance portal. We have not made any change in Azure or in Veeam side except applying these updates. We have checked and all permission for service accounts are fine, the NSG in Azure clearly shows allowing port 443 for the worker instances vnet /subnet so we cant really think of anything else that could cause this issue. We have raised a support case with Veeam as well and they have asked us to try the worker IP address to browse to the URL that we also tried without any luck: Any advice would be highly appreciated. Many thanks

Estou fazendo uma atualização no meu ambiente, e estou atualizando meu veeam 9.5.4 para o veeam 11 que é o que meu hypervisor suporta, tenho uma licença por socket e lendo a documentação encontrei que as licenças até o veeam 10 são bloqueadas por versão e que eu teria que baixar a versão mais atual da licença para conseguir colocar em meu veeam 11, porém quando acesso o portal não encontro essa opção de download, o meu suporte está expirado seria algo relacionado a esse suporte expirado ? ou existe outra forma de fazer este download ? I'm doing an update in my environment, and I'm updating my Veeam 9.5.4 to Veeam 11 which is what my hypervisor supports, I have a socket license and reading the documentation I found that licenses up to Veeam 10 are blocked by version and that I would have to download the most current version of the license to be able to put it on my Veeam 11, but when I access the portal I don't find this download option, my support is expired wou

 Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE) can be considered an alternative to VMware vSphere, especially for organizations looking for cost-effectiveness, open-source flexibility, and a solid community-driven ecosystem solution.As interest and adoption of Proxmox VE increased, Veeam began supporting Proxmox within Veeam Backup and Replication, expanding integration options with the market's leading hypervisors.So, let's better understand the architecture, services, and user tools that Proxmox provides.Proxmox VE is based on a Debian Linux server distribution implemented on a specially optimized Linux kernel. It allows you to run virtual machines and containers simultaneously.

Hi Folks, I was posting over the weekend and then started to wander around the hub. I remembered when it first started as well. What a fantastic place this is! For many folks who don’t have their own blog  this is a website where they can post their Data Protection blogs and ask questions. It is very well maintained, at least when there have been bad actors and spammers pop up the Veeam Team’s reaction was very quick to remove them.At the same time there is just enough freedom to allow people to be creative. Human creativity is the generator of progress after all.  Sure we don’t always agree with one another and some times get annoyed with each other, but we are humans and not robots (or AI for that matter) and that comes with the territory. At the end of the day Communities are very hard to build and maintain. I have seen a lot of communities and many that have failed. Folks let’s do a shout out to Madalina, Safiya, Nikola, Mr. Community Ri

Microsoft Azure Stack HCI and Veeam Backup & ReplicationSure, most of you are already familiar with this topic, but I wanted to share my latest blog post here as well. I have had some meetings over the last few weeks, and this topic has been raised every time. I decided to summarize what the current capabilities are.I'm getting more and more questions from my customers about alternative Hypervisors. In today's fast-paced IT world, I've seen how businesses are increasingly looking for hybrid solutions that blend the scalability of the cloud with the control and performance of on-premises infrastructure. Through my work, I've found that Azure Stack HCI and Veeam Backup & Replication are two standout technologies that meet these needs, offering powerful solutions for hybrid infrastructures and comprehensive data protection.I want to get into this in a bit more detail and highlight how Azure Stack HCI is supported by Veeam. 

In today's ever changing data management environment, protecting data integrity and security has emerged as the number one priority for businesses of all sizes. Veeam's backup and replication solution offers a range of features to assist organizations in protecting their data. Among these features, immutability stands out as a crucial capability that plays a role in defending data against ransomware attacks, accidental deletions, and other potential threats.Understanding the Concept of ImmutabilityImmutability refers to the capacity to prevent data from being changed, deleted, or altered in any manner for a specific duration. Within the realm of data protection, immutability ensures that backup data remains unaltered and secure, even in the presence of cyber risks or human mistakes. By integrating immutability features, you can establish an additional layer of security to shield your essential data and maintain uninterrupted business
