Hi, not a long ago, we migrated most of our workloads to Azure. We have most of our servers in Azure and also we have some servers in our DC (on-prem). We currently use Veeam backup for Azure to backup servers in Azure and Veeam backup & replication ver 12 to backup our on-prem servers (with local backup repositories). One of our critical servers is having some issues as users keep disconnecting since we have migrated this server to Azure. After investigating for a few weeks, we are looking to bring this server back to on-prem to resolve the issue as its currently affecting our critical business operation. Here is what we have planned and need your advice on how can we achieve this:Stage 1 – Create a new storage account in Azure for the purposes of backing up this server. Stage 2 – Connect the on-premises Veeam backup server to the new storage account created in stage 1 (as an external repo or object repository). Stage 3 – Backup the server to the newly created storage account in A

I have been digging deeper in to the VONE console especially the Threat Center Dashboard lately and the following graph that shows 0% indicates to check the Reports > Backup Compliance category -- does anyone know the specific report(s) for this that uses it?The other options on the Threat Center Dashboard name a specific report to run for the % showing but this one just gives a category.  I am interested to see what report shows the details for this one and being able to remediate it.Data Protection Status - VONE Dashboard - Threat Center 

Hello guys,Following the Disable Basic Auth in M365 since Oct. 1, 2022, I m looking for the best practices to implement the Modern App Only Authentication.I ll not explain why it’s important to protect M365 datas @Iams3le already did it very weel right here: To improve security, I would use the least privilege approach and only assign the permissions which are required for the task at hand. But I m a bit confuse with the best way to do it.Regards the required permissions in the help center (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo365/guide/vbo_required_permissions.html?ver=60), we need Veeam Backup Account Permissions and Azure AD application permissions.Is the Veeam Backup Account Permissions mandatory with the Modern App Only Authentication? In my understanding is only needed when we need to use the legacy mode.For the creation of the Azure AD app, we need to provide a user to login to M365. What kind of account do you use as this step? A dedicated service account or an admin user accou

If anyone uses Storage encryption you may encounter issues with Replication and Restores.  See the following KB for resolution - KB4266: A specified parameter was not correct: spec.vmProfile (veeam.com)

This post is related to a real use-case at a customer.Some time ago, this customer asked me to perform a backup audit on their infrastructure because they had doubts about the current setup 🤔So of course I did, I do this often for existing and new customers…If you want to know more about it, just go on reading this topic 😁 Some info about the customer and their infrastructure : they are one of the biggest companies in Belgium in their sector they are having a large vmware cluster : 1 cluster with HA that vmware cluster is divided over 2 locations at the same site but with +/- 500 meters between and no buildings in between, so ideal in some DR scenario’s between the 2 locations they are having a 40Gbit fiber connection the current backup-setup is being done by another IT company in Belgium they are having 2 backup-servers, 1 on each location they are using on each location a physical SAN as shared storage with synchronous mirroring between the 2 SANs using hybrid storage with auto tie

A quick announcement for the Community 📢Today Veeam published their App for Splunk. The App enables Splunk customers to analyze Veeam events, monitor their Veeam Backup environment and provides access to alerts, dashboards and reports.Although I had a Splunk training just last week, I currently don’t have access to any lab environment. Therefore I can’t test the new app but I would look forward to any feedback from the Community 😊  The Splunkbase Website does include some screenshots which look quite nice.Supported Splunk PlatformThe App is supported on the following platforms:Splunk Enterprise 9.1.0+ Splunk Cloud Platform 9.1.2308+LicensingThe App itself is available for free and can be installed or downloaded from Splunkbase:https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/7312Veeam customers do need to have the Advanced or Premium Edition in order to use the app.More detailsMore details can be found in the corresponding helpcenter guide: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/security_plugins_splunk/

Hello Community! Recently several changes were added to the AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR script that allow to improve the documentation process of Veeam B&R infrastructure. On this occasion, several bugs were fixed and a new feature was added to generate a diagram of the implemented components in the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure. Here are the new changes:https://techmyth.blog/posts/abr-veeam-vbr-0_8_6/ In addition I provide the following links so that you can see the sample report and an example of the infrastructure diagram. Sample ReportInfrastructure Diagram: Hasta la proxima! 😎  

Good day. I’m setting up a new Veeam 12.1 on-prem environment. Currently the Veeam B&R server is not domain-joined. We are working on a separate management domain, but it’s not yet ready. And, I don’t think it should matter as a workgroup setup is a recommended best practice.I’m attempting to add an SMB file share from a domain-joined Windows 2019 file server to Veeam, but it’s not able to access the file server share.For instance, the file server is “fileserver01” and the share is “P$”. I can navigate to it from my desktop or a domain server using “\\fileserver01.domain.com\p$”. I have tried using my domain credentials as well as the local file server administrator account (fileserver01\administrator), but Veeam cannot access that file share.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hey! I would like to test Veeam Backup & replication 12 to see if we want to use the software. This is the free versionNow, unfortunately, I already have problems with the installation. When I try to work with the localhost, I get the following error message: To rule out a firewall problem, I've disabled them. Unfortunately, to no avail.I tried a local user as well as a domain user. Both are in the Administrators group. Die Dienste laufen auch alle:  (But I only have these four). Does anyone have an idea what it could be based on?About the server: It is a virtual machine that runs in VSphere. Best Manuel

While adding some new Volumes, I found that some of my NetApp Volumes were not named correctly according to our standard naming conventions.  Thinking nothing of it, I renamed them and carried on.I had my Veeam B&R server rescan the storage and all seemed well, until every backup job failed.“Cannot find any relevant ONTAP SnapMirror and SnapVault relationshipsFailed to create processing task for VM <servername> Error: Failed to prepare VM for processing from secondary storage snapshot, and the option to failover to primary storage snapshot is disabled.”The Volumes are set up for VMware with a single LUN presented via Fiber Channel.It is set up to do an intra-cluster snapshot from an FAS8300 to a FAS2720 and backup from the FAS2720The protection relationships all say they are healthy and under the Veeam policy on the storage.I’ve had a ticket open with support for 10 days and am not getting anywhere fast.They had me edit the properties of the storage and click through and then

Veeam Backup & Replication utilises a NAS-Based Repository to store backup files, VM copies, and metadata for replicated VMs. File-sharing protocols like SMB or NFS enable users to access files and directories on a computer, server, or virtual machine via the network by configuring a directory as a file share. Any operating system supporting these protocols can host a file share.The DS923+ serves as an ideal solution for storing backups on your Synology system, particularly for organisations utilising third-party backup software like Veeam Backup and Replication. It provides a perfect repository for business/mission-critical data and backups in both company environments and home labs. You may want to learn how to Step-by-step guide on how to set up the Synology DS923+ NAS, and How to Protect Synology DS923+ NAS, and then proceed in setting up Synology NAS as a Backup Repo.DS923+ as a Backup TargetThe Synology 923+ NAS systems as mentioned above are a reliable storage destinations f

Hello, I would like to ask you for rest api example for Amazon S3 repository creation (more detailed documentation for the object storage endpoint API).I have found the documentation and in the example is Azure, I would like to see how to use it for Amazon.

Hi Veeam Community, I'm Daria from Veeam. I'm working behind the scenes to enhance your VeeamON experience and explore new networking opportunities for attendees.  We're considering introducing a 'Coffee Connect' feature before the event, designed to kickstart networking early. Coffee Connect would allow attendees to sign up for a 15-minute chat with another VeeamON attendee at random. I would appreciate your input on moving forward with this idea. Please take a poll below and comment your thoughts and if you will definitely use this feature :)  Thanks for your help, Best, Daria K

Posted in the forums here - so if there isn’t currently a way to have active/active, active/standby etc configuration for EM, what have folks been doing for distributed deployments? The primary goal here is to have a DR site come online as quickly as possible and for EM to have the highest availability one can offer.

Hi all.  There is the possibility that this weekend I might need to restore all of our domain controllers in our domain (hopefully this does not come to pass).  It is not a very active AD domain so hopefully but I might have to go back about 3 weeks to get around a problem.Can someone point me to documentation as to how to do this from within Veeam with all the DCs down?  This would mean that no dns resolution will be happening (do I have to create a hosts file on the Veeam server to get around this?).Another hiccup is that for one of the DCs, I notice now that application aware processing has not been turned on so it is going to be restored as just a member server without any special processing for the AD database.Thanks.

Hello, I would like to use CDP to replicate my VM from DC to DRC, I have 2 vcenter on DC and DRC. I have already installed VBR server on DC site So do I have to install I/O in each vcenter (DC & DRC) by using Veeam console in DC or I just have to install I/O in vcenter on DC ? Thank you 

Security & Compliance Analyzer in Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1 is a tool that allows you to examine and evaluate the installed Veeam backup infrastructure for security and compliance. This tool helps identify vulnerabilities and compliance violations associated with Veeam backup.This tool has basic functions as follows:Security Assessment: Performs a scan of the system to identify vulnerabilities of the Veeam backup infrastructure. This scan checks various security criteria such as password policies, access controls, status of updates, etc.Compliance Assessment: Evaluates compliance with a specific compliance standard (e.g. GDPR). This helps determine whether Veeam backup infrastructure needs to be configured to meet applicable data protection laws or regulations.Reporting and Monitoring: Security & Compliance Analyzer reports and monitors results. Users can get detailed information about security vulnerabilities or compliance violations and take the necessary steps to r

Hello!I am new here, hope you don't mind my ignorance!!I am looking for some detailed steps/instructions to implement and achieve my data backup goals for a personal/home based setting. I Have quite a few kinds of devices in my home. couple of windows laptops, couple of iPads, couple of iPhones, an android phone, may be a macbook pro in the future. I don't find it practical to connect separate USB external hard disks to each of these devices to back them up. So, what i am thinking to achieve instead is - if all of these devices can connect to a NAS, use one big drive say 6/8 TB and create individual folders to create separate backups of each of the devices, that is the ideal solution i am looking for. I haven't decided yet on what model of NAS do i need. Any recommendations welcome! I am planning to use this NAS device just for backing up my multiple devices in one place. I am not looking for active file sharing among the different devices. Also create a backup of the 6/8 TB NA
