These updates are designed to provide businesses with greater flexibility, security, and efficiency in their disaster recovery strategies.Let’s investigate the new features that make the latest version of Veeam Recovery Orchestrator a game-changer:Cross-Platform Recovery: Restoring Data Across Multiple EnvironmentsOne of the most notable updates to Veeam Recovery Orchestrator is the introduction of cross-platform recovery. In today’s hybrid IT environments, businesses often work with a variety of platforms such as VMware, Hyper-V, and cloud-based systems. This can create challenges when it comes to recovery operations. However, with Veeam’s cross-platform recovery capabilities, you can now restore data across multiple platforms, including Microsoft Hyper-V.This update provides organizations with unmatched flexibility, allowing you to seamlessly manage disaster

Helloi  guess members could help me with problem of (re)installationfew years ago on server was installed veeam b&r, tested and uninstalled. week ago i just wanna make some tests and try to install veeam again, but had error that installation was unsuccessful. quick reading give me “knowledge” that in registry and system disk left some pieces of veeam. i tried to clean it and now i get error Title of err window “Veeam Setup Engine”Content of err window “An error has occured: Это действие допускается только для установленных продуктов“ and translated by me as “This action allowed only for installed products”

I am working on setting up Veeam for a hybrid IT environment that includes Leveret Products (client's website), consisting of both on-premises servers and cloud resources. Security is a top priority due to the sensitivity of the data we handle. I am looking for guidance on best practices for securing backup repositories, enabling encryption, implementing access controls, configuring immutable backups to protect against ransomware, and ensuring secure data transfer between on-premises and cloud environments. Additionally, any tips on audit and monitoring features in Veeam to enhance security would be highly appreciated

I have a customer looking to deploy Veeam but I’m trying to work out the pros and cons if we go with one of two options….Data Domain NetApp FAS storage fronted by a server and acting as a hardened repoWould be good to get real world experiences, pros and cons etc.Workloads are very traditional, VMs, Agents, SQL, Oracle, hyper-v, SAP, NAS and exchangethanks

I have a few questions concerning tape backups and marking an expired tape as free.  I have marked 2 months of tapes free, but the Postgres SQL database hasn’t reduced in size.  What other cleanup do I need to do on the Postgres side?VBR ver 12.2What happens when you mark a tape as free What happens in the postgres database Does Veeam remove all indexing data related to the backups when a tape is marked as free ? I have marked 2 months of tapes free, but the Postgres SQL database hasn’t reduced in size. 

This new lab replaces the older lab that had ONTAP 9.7 and Veeam v10. It has been updated to ONTAP 9.15P3 and VBR 12.3. NetApp is a lab environment that lets you schedule a lab for up to 7 days so you can practice while you are learning. It has been configured to get you into the lab without having to configure anything. It also have a step-by-step lab guide that walks you through each lab. Usually, NetApp Labondemand is only available to NetApp employees or NetApp partners. It is not open to customers except some labs that are available on the NetApp support portal,. A NetApp employee or NetApp partner can run a bootcamp with this lab for customers. It requires a NetApp account to access. The lab demonstrates immutability with NetApp StorageGrid, Instant VM migration from VMware ESXi to Hyper-V, SQL database recovery with the Veeam explorer and a SureBackup job with Veeam Threat Hunter. The link to the lab is listed below. It can also be found in the NetApp Labondemand catalog under t

Hi all,In this blog series, I’m going to talk about plenty of things around the sizing and architecting for using Object Storage with Veeam Backup & Replication.

Hi Everyone, In the ever changing landscape.. wait no that sounds like AI talk. What landscape have you ever seen in IT? Unless you are staring out the window at the grass during working hours. In the ever stagnant data center environment monitoring your applications is of the upmost importance.Not keeping watch on what is happening with your data protection setup is simply too risky. VeeamONE is an excellent solution that Veeam provides but if you have another solution already present or simply want to use another solution like Elasticsearch Fluentd and Kibana then this post might be for you.EFK is not a simple solution and you can setup a whole monitoring practice sandbox by leveraging Podman. This is not meant to be in production only for practice.First up create a ubuntu server VM and install podman:sudo apt install podman -yNow run this script to have the environment setup automatically efksetup.sh#!/bin/bash# Create a shared network for the EFK stackpodman network create efk-netw

Hi Guys,I’m rolling Veeam SQL plugin out across lots of different SQL servers in my org. Is there a protection group equivalent ? If not, how does Veeam help me to keep on top of where they are installed, and more importantly auto upgrade them when Veeam is upgraded ? On top of that how do the permissions work, in terms of local admin on all SQL servers to perform the Plugin install/upgrade ?ThanksPhil

With the recent announcement of HPE VM Essentials, now generally available in a standalone version in January 2025 and in HPE Private Cloud later this year, I’ve received many inquiries from Veeam and HPE sellers eager to understand the current state of Veeam's support for this new hypervisor offering. Although direct integration between Veeam and HPE VM Essentials is not yet available, addressing these questions now is crucial for sellers and customers considering this new offering.We need to provide clarity on Veeam's position, ensuring that HPE and Veeam sellers have the information they need to communicate effectively with customers. While there isn't yet native integration with the HPE VME hypervisor, Veeam remains competitive and on par with other HPE data protection partners in offering a robust solution through its agent-based approach. This ensures that organizations considering HPE VM Essentials have reliable options for securing their data while Veeam explores deeper integra

IntroductionHPE VM Essentials offers a streamlined virtualization solution designed for small to medium-sized environments. In my previous blog post, Navigating HPE VM Essentials Part 1, I introduced this platform and discussed its potential impact.In this update, I aim to provide a high-level overview of the user experience with HPE VM Essentials and demonstrate how to configure backups in such an environment. This includes insights into the provisioning interface and the integration with Veeam's backup solutionsEnvironment SetupFor this functional test, I configured a simple environment to explore backup strategies for HPE VM Essentials. A physical Windows server was set up to act as the Veeam Backup & Replication server. All necessary Veeam roles, including the backup server, proxy, and repository, were installed on this single server to streamline the testing. Additionally, the test leveraged a physical HPE VM Essentials cluster, which housed the source VMs designated for backu

Hi all im new to veeam and i have been testing the software. to put it simply, i have the following testing envrionemnet and i want to achieve the following test env1 x Veeam backup server1 x Hyper-V cluster (2 Hyper-V host)1 x VM runnin on the Hyper-V Cluster1 x iSCSI Volume for hyper-v that is running on NetApp Storage (ONTAP) what i want to achieve is to integrate netapp to veeam so that it can leverage ONTAPs snapshot technology to backup the hyper-v vm in a faster manner. i have following numerous diffrent sources on the internet to integrate netapp to veeam but the volume just doesnt appear, only if i include the option for VMware, it shows the volumes on the storage infrastructure section. if there is any official document regarding veeam x netapp x hyper-v integration, it would be more than appreicated if anyone can point me to the right source. if anyone has achieved what im trying to achieve, it would also be appreicated for you go gvie me some tips! thanks in advance all

I am new to Veeam, so I apologise if this is a stupid question.I have a number of remote sites that each have a Proxmox server. Each of these servers is connected to my home using a TailScale network. There is a Linux VM acting as a subnet router.I am trying to use the latest version 12.3 of Veeam to backup the VM’s on the remote sites to a small NAS installed in each site. Basically, I want to manage the backups from a central location, but the backups actually take place at the remote sites.I can register the remote Proxmox servers centrally, but when I run the test on the worker created at each site, it looks like it will run OK; it starts the worker, connects to it, but then always fails on the connect to core services, and occasionally fails on failed to obtain IP address.As a test, I have disabled the firewall on the central backup server and the worker VM. But the errors are the same.I have tested the connection between sites using several other applications, and it works well a

Hello,I wanted to verify if the Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center v9.1.0.3107 is supported in System Center Operations Manager 2025.We have it running on our test environment and it seems to work but we want to validate before we upgrade our production SCOM environment.Kind Regards,JM

Heads up, all threat hunters.I recently encountered a problem with several customers using ThreatHunter. It happened that mounting the file system needed to crawl the system didn't work. However, mounting the file system for a single file restore worked fine. It turned out to be a small bug in the code and there is already a private fix for this, and it will be included in the next release:So if you encounter this problem, just file a case with Veeam support and get your private fix in the meantime. According to the registry keys that come with the fix, it seems to have something to do with certificate revocation.However, everything works as expected once the fix is in place.

We have installed Veeam in a Standalone Hyper V host, and we can perform backups of all virtual machines in this Hyper V host. All the VMs are in drive D of the Hyper-V host.  Is there a way that I can do a backup of the C Drive of the Hyper V host so that we can restore the server and then restore the Virtual machines in case the Hyper-V Host fails? Do I need to install a Windows agent in the Hyper V host?  What is the best approach?  

Hi All,Does veeam also upgrades the database version  during the upgrade process? (ms sql or postgres)Because when upgrading from 12.1 to 12.3, Postgres version was still 15.8,how do I know if there will be an update? Will vulnerabilities be patched to address them?

Hi allWhen I try to install the hyper v component for veeam on a hyper v windows 2016 virtual machine I get the following error.I turned off UAC. Other things I can do? It doesn't recognize it as a hyper v machine  

Hello Community,I prepared an article to report my experience in backing up Oracle databases with FS agent and RMAN plug-in. I hope it can be useful.Thanks to my colleagues @marco_s @ggrippo   Keeping backup data from an Oracle-type database is always complex. The world of Oracle DBAs is strongly inclined to remain locked in the comfort zone shell, and getting through it is never too easy. Meanwhile, they wonder why, if any backup tool uses RMAN commands, they have to rely on other people when they can do everything themselves.Today I am going to present a real scenario of installations on Oracle Linux VMs.But I start by showing the schematic of how Oracle backup works with the pluginSCENARIO: All the machines on which Oracle is present are Linux VMs on OLVM so it was necessary to provide for the installation of the File System type agents and Plug-ins for Oracle RMAN.The databases were both RAC type and single databases. A network card was added to all vms on a dedicated backup VLAN t
