With the release of the version 8 of VB 365, some additional permissions are needed on the registred app. Nothing to think about when you’re deploying a new app, but when you’re upgrading, you coudl re-use the existing app and extend it with the new requirements. I’m not a programmer, but I’ve tried to setup a small powershell script that based on your Application ID adds the necessary rights and also adds the app to the Global Reader role.Feel free to check and modify it ! Could be a time-saver ! # Ensure that the required modules are installedInstall-Module -Name AzureAD -Force -AllowClobberInstall-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph -Force -AllowClobber# Import modulesImport-Module AzureADImport-Module Microsoft.Graph# Connect to the Microsoft TenantWrite-Host "Connecting to Microsoft Tenant..." -ForegroundColor CyanConnect-AzureAD# Get Application (App Regist

One of my VM is showing  FIB summary.txt issue in backup copy job. I would like to run Active full backup on only this problem VM . But this backup copy job has 20 VMs which i don’t want to run full backup as it will cause issue in wasabi bucket. Copy job goes to wasabi bucket. I know individual full backup can initiated in Backup job, but it is not showing BCJ . Please advise.Ver 12.1.2

I am outgrowing my single Veeam B&R server.  I have about 120Tb of local storage on the server, 256Gb RAM, 2x10c procs and backing up about 100 VMs in Hyper-V.  I am getting a lot of contention now for resources when jobs are being run.  Backing up all VM’s to local storage and also replicating jobs offsite to secondary datacenter that we have direct connectivity to.  It’s confusing to me how I add another server to this mix so I can offload some of these processes to another server(s).  I can spin up a VM or I can install a physical server, but storage, for now, will stay on the local Veeam server.  I would still like to maintain all the jobs on the existing Veeam server, but add proxies maybe to offload the job processing?  This is where I am stuck with how to scale beyond the single Veeam server.

Veeam server collecting too many files in the Index\Machines folder. The issue is with only VM . The retention period is 20 restore points , but seeing more than 20 folders with different dates. We are using  Enterprise manager . Tried deleting old  folders from the index folder for this machine and monitored , but still seeing more than 20 folders. I think retention is not working. Please advise. 

As you may have seen VB365 v8 was released today. This is a very impactful release for me and my company so I took the time to document some first thoughts today. Please check this out on my blog https://www.koolaid.info/veeam-backup-for-microsoft365-v8-release-thoughts/ where I talk about things such as proxy pools, architecture, permissions and object storage!

How large may a partition be on an iSCSI-connected Alletra4000 storage that is to be backed up using Veeam Storage integration?

Hello folks,Attempting a bare metal recovery on similar new hardware as a server was hijacked.Backups are encrypted (password known) and I can see the restore points in Veeam Community Edition 12.Sadly everytime I try to access/unpack/recover the files it gives me(A) an error message that alway include the text “Not supported for read-only access. (B) currently a CHMOD value ranging from 80-190 Example Restore job failed Error:Storage version [830813235] is not supported for read-only access.Failed to open storage for read access.

I am implementing AntiForgery into a WebApplication. Whilst I know this works server side using the AntiForgery Library by adding a hidden element and then validating it on a master page event, we have hundreds of ASPX Page WebMethods to consider when it comes to client side implementation with jQuery or reactJs.Is there a way of creating a filter to tag onto WebMethods that does an AntiForgery check?

Although the post is very small, the news in it is big 😃With v12 you can start a Active Full backup of a single VM processed by a job. Just open the progress dialog of the job and right-click the VM you want to backup. As you can see, this can also be used to run a Retry just for selected machines. Important: this will just work when you use the also new feature in v12: True per-machine backup files 

This is going to be huge change. VeeamON never disappoints! 

I have a strange issue and have been trying to solve it for a few days now.  Fresh install of Veeam Backup 12 for the purpose of migrating a few dev/test VMs from one ESXi server to another.  The install went proper, I created a Ubuntu 24 server on each ESXi server and installed the backup proxy components via the GUI in VBR which registered them there.  Since this is more of a migration project, there isn’t a need for a separate backup repository.  When creating a quick migration job, everything goes well until the backup proxy selection.  The only Backup Proxy that is available is the VBR server and not the actual proxy servers themselves.  Since the migration job is having to use the VBR server as the proxy, the performance is horrid.  I have performed:-repair on VBR 12-reconfigured the proxy servers from VBR GUI (no errors)-proxy servers are on same VLAN as VBR server so no firewall challenges Any thoughts on what I have missed?  Thank you all

 ANYONE, your assistance please ! "Failed to retrieve certificate" 1. Another offsite DB file backup to azure Blob storage A passed for another server(db server). 2. This same exchange server DB file successfully backups to an azure blob storage B from BUEXEC. Why not for veeam 12.1?

Way back in December (really, it was only 4 weeks ago ?!?), I posted on my personal blog about the Broadcom acquisition of VMware, and how they were ending all of the current perpetual licensing and moving everything to subscription licensing. However, there were many, many questions, and FUD about the changes and what this would mean for licensing VMware products going forward. After many conversations with VMware, reviews of presentations VMware provided to partners and distributors and reading of FAQ's, I finally have an understanding of just what direction exactly VMware is going with their licensing and how it applies to the end user clients. Please note that this is more oriented towards the newly announced vSphere Foundation subscription and it's smaller siblings, vSphere Standard and vSphere Essentials Plus Kit subscriptions which

With the release of Veeam Data Platform 12.2 on 9/28/24. The new Veeam Backup for Nutanix version 6 was released. It adds some highly requested features that our customers have been asking for. Please see the screenshots below. I also added additional links at the bottom of the page for more details. Please continue to share your valuable feedback for future improvements😀. New virtualization option menu Updated Nutanix AHV logo added 

We are currently managing a Windows Agent backup policy configured in "Managed by Agent" job mode. The policy is set to perform a "File-Level Backup" and is configured to include the following objects:E:\ C:\Windows\System32\LogFilesWe need to modify the policy to include the operating system volume in the backup. To test this, we cloned the job and made changes to the policy using a test machine. However, we encountered an issue: when we add the "Operating System" as an object in the "File-Level Backup" mode, running the job triggers a new active full backup of all volumes.We observed the same behavior when changing the job mode to "Volume-Level Backup" or "Entire Computer"—an active full backup of all volumes is triggered on the next run.Our primary concern is avoiding the need for an active full backup of the E:\ drive, which contains around 6TB of data. The servers are located at remote sites with slow links, making it impractical

What my surprise this week, I found a relic, a working Veeam Version 7 Server ! Yes I know in term of cybersecurity risks we are right in the middle of it !

Dear community, I just managed to finish a new blog post regarding the Entra ID Backup beta version. Currently I have many customers looking forward to the feature release and I prepared an overview on my blog: 15 – Veeam Entra ID Backup Beta – Backup and Restore – Disaster and Recovery (disaster-und-recovery.de) Trying not to loose myself in a deep dive I tried to address the integration into the well-known VBR GUI and the basic functionality and different job types. Looking forward to licensing - hopefully we stay below the prices of CommVault. :-) Best regards from Germany and thank you for feedback!Lukas
