I want to share with you all my initial setup of a small Lab for the Veeam Data Platformwhich is installing VBR + VONE + Recovery Orchestrator.In my case, I don't have too many resources, so, for lab proposes, all three roles will be deployed in the same machineThe wizard takes care of installing the tools, just asking you the necessary things to get it done.As you will see, installing the Orchestrator, includes the VBR and VONE.If you haven't downloaded the Veeam data platform, please do...This is the virtual specs for the VM where VDP is installed on my lab: Let's follow up on the screenshots and the comments on the installation. 

Hello,Today, the backup of our domain controller is no longer working and we can't access the host. Everything was working fine until now.17/11/2024 21:00:44 Failed Unable to install backup agent: failed to connect to "domainename" Error: Account restrictions are preventing this user from signing in. For example: blank passwords aren't allowed, sign-in times are limited, or a policy restriction has been enforced. Failed to connect to share '\XX.XX.XX.XX\ADMIN$'.The package is accessible when I try to access it manually. I don't understand. The account entered is the domain admin account and even with another account, it doesn't work.I've scoured the forums and I can't find anything.Could someone help me? Regards

Hi, I’m seeing the following error for just one of our offsite backups. The local backups are working as expected.Agent: Failed to process method {Transform.Patch}: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. Asynchronous request operation has failed. [requestsize = 4202496] [offset = 706145980416]Processing finished with errors at 18/11/2024 05:41:10This issue is only occurring on our SQL server. A 2019 Windows Server.Any troubleshooting pointers will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Good day team,Is there a plugin solution for Postgresql running on ubuntu/linux desktoip edition(application level). Have some databases that i want to selectively backup and restore. I do not want to backup at the image/file level which is simple.I need something similar to the veeamsql plugin where i can configure the plugin, open the “backup database” app on a gui/desktop and view databases, run the backup on selected databases and the corresponding jobs pop up in veeam BR gui. Need to be able to Restore as well. Thanks guys

A few issues that needs to be addressed urgently though1. I see the successful application plugin job listed under jobs in vbr12 gui but the EDIT, START, RETRY, CLONE and STOP are greyed out. Can this be fixed 2. On the Sql test server, where do view these veeamsql plugin jobs, their schedules in SMSS or the plugin app. Whenever i close the backup database icon and reopen it, i see no job/schedule, just a new blank window. How can this be addressed? 3.Do i have to keep the "Backup Dtabase" icon/app up all the time, i see no schedule

Is the updated installable ISO available yet for the VHR?

Dear Community,I'm currently exploring options to optimize Veeam Agent for Windows (VAW) backup jobs, specifically for truncating db logs. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that there isn’t an available option to configure a log shipping server to truncate the logs as per the requirements. This functionality would be incredibly helpful for truncating logs continuously and thereby reducing the workload on the Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) server. Is there any way to achieve this within the current VAW capabilities, or are there plans to include this feature in future updates? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The following Option is only available in the VMWARE Base Job This option is not available for VAW Base Backup Job. 

Hello,we want to use VEEAM for a backup on a WORM Drive. It is some kind of NAS with a WORM partition. The Problem is, that the after the first backup the backup job ends with an error. This is because the meta file (.vbm) needs to be altered for every backup. But since it is a WORM system, this is not possible.I searched and found out, that there is a possibilty for a tape WORM server in VEEAM. But firstly, the NAS is not a tape server und secondly this option is greyed out, maybe it is some sort of license problem.Has anyone an idea of how to resolve this issue?

We’re trying to add a Proxmox server to Veeam, and are getting the “Failed to reach hypervisor” error message. We’re using root, tried disabling 2FA, and confirmed all the ports are open.The log files show essentially the same error message than we get on the UI:[12.11.2024 10:32:30.006]   <233>    Info (2)    [PVE plugin] External infrastructure api [post] request #1 https://localhost:8545/api/v1/proxmox/validateSshConnection {"certificateThumbprint":null,"credentialsTag":"e502fcbb-ce66-4d55-88c5-88ce4cadf5a1","ipOrDnsName":"X.X.X.X","port":8006,"sshPort":22,"sshKeyFingerprint":null}[12.11.2024 10:32:30.612]    <01>    Info (3)    Creating splash form[12.11.2024 10:32:30.622]    <01>    Info (3)    Showing splash form[12.11.2024 10:35:02.072]   <233>    Info (2)    [PVE plugin] External infrastructure api [post] response #1 {"errorMessage":"Failed to reach the hypervisor","errorType":"Other"}[12.11.2024 10:35:02.087]

Testing backups? Almost no one does it.Why?Too many constraints: not enough time, no available storage, fear of disrupting production.What if none of that was an excuse anymore?Veeam's SureBackup removes these barriers, making testing automatic, fast, and non-disruptive for your critical applications.Watch this video to see how this technology turns a time-consuming task into a seamless routine—and why testing your backups will never feel like a chore again.👇🏾 

Good day,What caused this error?This is a hyper-V backup job for a linux vm, worked excellent for days, for 3 months now, what happened all of a sudden?I retried, same error after 20% then fail. I restarted the veeam server, now attempting backup again. It has been stuck on 20% for like 15 minutes now.Where did this come from all of a sudden and how do i fix?

With the recent VMWare licensing consolidation and Broadcom moving to a subscription/core model, it has caused many SMBs to explore new options for a hypervisor. (such a shame.. pouring one out for my years of VMWare experience.) XCP-NG and ProxMox keep coming up in various communities. I personally have tested both and they perform really well. My only issue with them is that currently there is no native Veeam integration for the two platforms. Are there any plans for Veeam to support XCP-NG and/or ProxMox?

Failed to backup database SchoolDB. Error:  Error code: 0x80070005 Access denied. You must be logged in as a Windows administrator to create a virtual device. Failed to start VDI backup.  All conditions are met, veeam backup service account is apart of local admin group on sql server, requisite sssms server roles assigned to same service account etc What is causing this?

Good day, anyone knows how to fix this and why this happens. Backup Jobs for MONTHS now going on perfectly for this server in veeam 12.1. Now i wake up, logon to vbr to see this crap. What the hell is this?

I have tried requesting an NFR key for a few days now and it never shows up in my email. It has worked every other time I have requested one in the past. I tried opening a case but they said I had to contact sales. So I contacted sales but haven't heard from anyone. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Thanks

hi all….I am puzzled if I create a SOBR:performance tier = backup appliance, immutable for 14 days capacity tier = Azure BlobCan data move to the capacity tier within 14days?Can I set policy to move them monthly so that the backed data is no longer immutable?Or I have to use SOBR copy function?If only SOBR copy, it does not release storage space from the backup appliance, what’s the different if I use BCJ to Azure Blob?

Hello,I try to restore one of my Application VM, then after restored i can see our application is having error.When the VM restored, is this VM identically same with the VM source?

Hello,I am experiencing an issue with my backup system. Backups run normally for about 3-4 days, but then an error occurs, and the backup stops. After restarting the system, everything works fine, but the issue repeats after a few days.

JobId: 7718e3f2-a680-40be-8f4f-68179fda8The NAS and the location are functioning properly, and there are no network disruptions. Backups were running smoothly at first, but after the mentioned period, the error starts appearing.I have attached screenshots of the error for your reference.I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions on how to resolve this issue.Thank you for your help.
