Installed Debian Bookworm on BTRFS, backed up with Veeam agent for linux to network storage.Tried to restore from internal SATA to internal SATA, using full disk restore.Restore mentions a warning after completion, could not update UUID. Don't now the exact wording anymore.After booting the system boots to initramfs with the alert: UUID=xxxxxxx does not exist.It appears nothin that can't be fixed with a live CD but IMHO this should not be needed.Is this a bug, known issue or am I doing something wrong?

Like many kids, my daughter started high school this week. Throughout this summer, I’ve been preparing her for the changes that come with a bigger school, more demanding classes, and new extracurriculars. A couple weeks ago, we went back-to-school shopping then spent the afternoon glued to Olympics coverage. As we watched diving and dressage, we talked about the skills the athletes had to learn to compete at that level. We were as interested in how the athletes prepared as we were their performances. This got me thinking about how much time we humans spend preparing.Whether getting ready for school, an athletic competition, or countless other activities it seems like humans are always preparing for something. Proper preparation helps us succeed and achieve our goals. It also helps us plan for things to go wrong. The same is true when you make changes to your technology environment, such as installing Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure. Once installed, Veeam Backup for Microsoft

Question for the service providers in the room. How do you handle customers who were VCC customers, but are looking to migrate their historic backup data from their VCC-B repo to elsewhere. No option to move between repos, and if we’re talking sufficient quantities of data, no practical way to download to local repo, before moving to new location (object for example).Thoughts? 

Hello, I have backup copy job to copy the bcckup to Azure File share. The VBR main repository using SMB and connection speed is 1Gbps. Connection from VBR to Azure file share via VPN site to site with 100Mbps internet bandwidth.What can i see is my internet utilization is still low, only about 20-30Mbps used. Is there any trick how to utilize the connection?  

Good day, Just like in BUEXEC and other backup software apps, how do you pause jobs in Veeam B&R 12.1?  Regards

In a SOBR (Scale-Out Backup Repository) if my performance tier is already a object storage (direct to object) is it possible to run a archive job to offload data to archive tier without a capacity tier? Or i would need first to offload to capacity then archive?

Hello!I trying to setup new backup SQL bases with Veeam Plug-in for SQL Server, but list of bases is emptyTested on two different virtual machines with two different verisons SSMS (17.9 and 19.3) - both not working. How fix this problem?Thanks!

 The Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft SQL natively integrates with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. It transfers database and transaction logs to backup repositories associated with Veeam Backup & Replication.Compared to image-level backups created by Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam plug-ins can offer more flexible scenarios for database backup.This plug-in’s users can backup and restore individual Microsoft SQL Server databases and configure independent backup scheduling for full, differential, and log

Hi,I need to know that how can i take incremental backup along with full backup. because i cannot find the incremental backup option in wizard. Please help

 An environment contains the following infrastructure:1: Proxmox2: Open source Juno3: Oracle open source Can Veeam be used to migrate the above environment to Proxmox on new infrastructure? Thanks a lot.

Before I begin, let me share what this post is not about → this isn’t about how to become a member of any of the 3 Veeam100 influencers programs. This post is simply about Community engagement, specifically within the Veeam Community.Where to EngageWhy should you engage in the Veeam Community? First, where can you engage? From a website perspective, Veeam has 2 main sites to provide feedback, make feature requests, blog, report potential bugs, or ask questions on - the Veeam Forums and here at the Community Hub. What are the differences between the two? The Forums is a place you can more directly interact with Veeam Product Managemen

 How to avoid an Immutability MigraineWith direct to object storage backups coming in Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) v12, we expect to see many more folks using object storage for their backup repositories.  This means there will be folks using object storage for the 1st time.  If they are like me they will probably use the graphical user interface (GUI) native to the object storage platform to manage their object storage.The native GUI will definately make the management easier, but it can also cause some headaches that you don’t expect.  The reason I am writing this is to help you avoid one such migraine when you are using your object storage’s native GUI to configure your object storage bucket to create an immutable object storage repository in VBR.The ScenarioThe 1st thing you need to do to create your immutable object storage repository is to create t

Occasionally, Veeam releases software updates to fix bugs, performance enhancements and introduce new features apart from major version releases of Veeam Backup & Replication. Here is an article on how to update Veeam Backup and Replication [VBR]:https://techdirectarchive.com/2024/08/14/how-to-update-veeam-backup-and-replication-vbr/ Also, in this article, I have provided the steps on how to update Object First OOTBI Cluster. You will learn how to perform cluster update via the Object First management Console, and via the TUIhttps://techdirectarchive.com/2024/08/14/how-to-update-object-first-ootbi-cluster/ 

We currently have Veeam for M365 v7 running in Community Edition mode since we are not using the product anymore. However, we have plenty of data from 2020 to 2022 that was backed up to a S3 Standard bucket. We rarely (read, twice a year) need to query or restore anything from it.Our Veeam rep is happy to provide a temporary license to reactivate the product for any job requirements, so the question would be - what is the best option to move this data from S3 Standard to a different tier, and what are the implications that come with this? My thought process was the following:Add a new S3 repo that is on a Glacier Instant Retrieval / Glacier Deep Archive tier bucket Create a backup copy job to copy the current data in the S3 Standard bucket to the newly created bucket above Delete the original backup / S3 Standard bucket holding the original dataIs this a supported / reasonable strategy? I’m assuming that the Archiver appliance would

Hey Team, We use strictly hyper v server core hosts to house vms in the environment. I observed a few things?Veeam successfully creates repos both azure and lcoal Veeam successfully added all the hyperv host servers showing all vms under each Error code - 32774 - Performing a Hyper V Backup Type for a vm under any host to a local repo FAILS - i observe a “logon as a service” error then i am directed by veeam support to read - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/virtualization/starting-or-live-migrating-hyper-v-vms-fails

Hello,In my home lab, the backup repository, running on windows server 2022, using REFS, using V: drive letterVBR is running in a VM on that same server, also on V: drive letter.If that server died, then i have lost all my backups, .vbm|.vib|.vbkSure, I use backup copy jobs but those are stored off-site , but for the sake of this topic, I want to ignore that.If i had a disaster i would have to download the backup files or do an instant restore over slow internet.So I want/need to backup the OS, the c: drive.Can i use that VBR to do it or what do you suggest?Thanks much, David 

Regarding the SQL database export, using SQL staging server, it appears that the export was executed from the existing production instance rather than from the Veeam backup storage media. This suggests that a direct export from the Veeam backup storage is not possible, which is what I wanted to verify.As a result, Veeam management tools will be required to restore the SQL database and its transaction logs to a specific point in time using the Veeam backup storage media.Is my understanding correct?

Hello, I would like to add an antivirus for the back-up analysis when recovering files. Is it possible to add this function from Forti-EMS?I can't find the config .xml file for veeam from Fortigate / Forti EMS.Thanks

Hi Everyone,I posted a while back about some free sites that help you detect AI generated text.There are also manual methods to detect it. I for one have noticed that the intros all tend to be very similar in structure and phrase use. Another aspect of AI generated text in English is the over use of “the”. I am not against using AI as a tool but don’t think it is a good idea to create AI blogs and then claim authorship. I had a conversation with one AI expert this weekend who said that in the long run the people who stay real will win. As humans get more used to detecting AI it will get the “spam in a can” reputation and will become the mental fast food of the blog world, potentially with a warning from the Surgeon General “loss of brain cell risk if used excessively or consumed not in moderation” :) . He ventured on to say that it will be the same thing if and when humans start creating Androids (not the phones silly, but the human like robots). T

In Veeam do we have any options to define and to  isolate a Backup traffic, to transfer from dedicate NIC on all Clients, customer have 2 NICS on all clients one used for there Data LAN traffic and recently added new NIC want to use for backup Lan purpose.Backup Lan should be used for Veeam backup/restore traffic . Currently all the traffic is transferred through data LAN.

I have a backup job for my desktop computer that has 3 SSDs, with the C drive being an NVMe drive. Once the job begins, NVMe usage jumps to 100% and response time also jumps to the 1000s of milliseconds. I have IO throttling enabled in settings but that doesn’t help. Basically makes the computer unusable while a backup is running because the computer is sluggish and stutters constantly.

gMSA with VBR Why you should, how you do it and why they don’t solve all your problems This is the first part of a three-part series on gMSA usage with Veeam. This part will cover the background and the basic concept behind it. We will also answer the question, why to use gMSA accounts in the first place. gMSA - one account to rule them all? BackgroundOne of the vulnerable spots of every backup infrastructure originates to the fact that we must communicate with the inside of the workloads to get them in good shape for a proper backup. This is what we call transaction consistency or “

The Veeam folder increased significantly in size overnight while backups were running, expanding by 60 GB and reaching 1 GB by morning. How can we determine what is consuming this space, and are there other methods to monitor this?Veeam ver 12.0.0.1420Please advise

As the global solutions architect for Veeam's Pure Storage alliance, I have been asked this question many times. I am pleased to report that we now have performance results, and they are exceptional.But first, a bit on the test environment:Figure 1Figure 2As you can see the Veeam Backup & Replication Backup Proxies were configured as Virtual Machines (VMs).  This was done to reduce the hardware requirements in the lab testing environment.  This also means that the backup traffic to these virtual Backup Proxies is over in-guest iSCSI, which adds overhead to the CPU and memory workload on those proxies.  It is expected that if the Backup Proxies were
