Hi all,I would like to use Quantum DXi V5000 as deduplication storage appliance  Unfortunately, when adding deduplication storage appliance, there is an error message, that there is no Veeam Data Mover service enabled on the virtual storage appliance To enable Veeam Data Mover service I need to install Veeam Data Mover on the appliance…. The issue is that I do not know default root password for Quantum DXi V5000 and adding non-root user to sudoers file didnt help.Is there any option to manually install Veeam Data Mover on linux based machine? 

 Extracted from original blog at wcithipster.com on Dec 2 Written By Zane AllynManaging datacenters is no small feat. From ensuring backups are reliable to monitoring virtual environments for potential issues, the demands on IT professionals are relentless. During my time as a Veeam customer and datacenter manager, Veeam One was my go-to tool for maintaining visibility and control. It wasn’t just a monitoring solution; it was an operational ally, helping my team and me proactively address challenges, optimize resources, and deliver consistent performance across our environments.Now, with the release of Veeam One V13, the tool I once relied on extensively has been reimagined to make monitoring and reporting even more intuitive, powerful, and accessible. From a brand-new web interface to advanced features like agent-based data collection and deployment modeling, this latest version raises the bar for what IT teams can achieve. Whether you're managing a sprawling virtual infrastructure or

Good morning. I usually perform backup jobs using the Oracle RMAN plugin for a primary repository.When creating a copy job of this backup job for a second repository, I receive several errors saying "File does not exist. File: [XXXX.vab].Where is Veeam looking for these files that no longer exist in the primary repository?We have an immutability configuration of 30 days in our primary repository. Since this is our first contact with Veeam, we were mistakenly deleting Oracle RMAN backup files older than 30 days directly in the repository file system. However, we were instructed by Veeam support to just rescan the repository so that possible invalid files in the Veeam database catalog could be resynchronized, but this did not solve the problem.I have an open case about this but still no response. Has anyone had this problem and solved it?

 Hello.Tell me, is veeam backup version 11 installed, ASP NET and NETCore version 3 installed, how can I update the NET versions, does veeam backup 11 support newer NET versions.

I have one Windows physical endpoint which has the Veeam agent installed, and a backup is taken to the BackipRepository1 every few hours. I also need to take a backup of that machine once a week (midnight on Saturday) and retain 52 copies, but those backups need to go to BackupRepository2.I have tried to create the second job but get the following message.Skipping WINWORK0256548; workstation is already assigned to the backup policy Workstation1 Nothing to process. Failed to apply backup job configuration at date and timeIs there a way for me to have two different backup jobs for a single endpoint like this, please?

This is part 2 of the blog series about Veeam Backup for Proxmox, which focuses on backup and restore. Part 1 was about the architecture and setup; in case you’ve missed it, you can find it here: Disclaimer: All information and screenshots in this blog post are based on an early access release. Until the final release changes can and will occur! Restoring/Migrating from VMwareBefore we can start to backup systems running on Proxmox, of course we need to deploy a VM. The first release of Veeam Backup for Proxmox will support cross-platform restore, so I restored an existing Windows Server 2022 system from VMware to Proxmox.The process isn’t much different from other platforms and doesn’t require any special knowledge.   In the storage tab, you need to select the destination storage/datastore and define which type of disk (RAW, QCOW2, VMDK) shall be used.  After the restore completed, I noticed that the BIOS was set to “SeaBIOS” by default. As Windows Server 2022 required UEFI to boot, I

Hello everyone. Last time we explored how to identify basic file Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), develop YARA rules to detect malicious actors, and incorporate these rules into Veeam Backup & Replication to identify potential malware in our backups.Taking it a step further, today we will explore how to automatically generate YARA rules using YarGen. YarGenYarGen is a tool that generates YARA rules from a specified malware file. It identifies unique strings within the malware and excludes those prevalent in non-malicious files. This is achieved using YarGen's comprehensive database of strings and opcodes typically found in non-malicious files. Essentially, it creates YARA rules from strings in malware files while discarding those also present in goodware files.There are many variable and options that can be set in YarGen, today we are going to look at how it can create a YARA rule based off of a potential malware file. Back to basics - IoCSA user has noticed a folder called “freest

Missing application permissions: Exchange.ManageAsApp. Public folder and discovery search mailboxes will be skipped from processing, and a shared mailbox type will not be identified.I have a fully licensed version of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 (not the community edition) which I recently upgradded to version 8.1.  Since then I’m getting this message.  I tried to put in a support ticket but that doesn’t work so I thought I’d try here.I have already followed the instructions on https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo365/guide/ad_app_permissions_sd.html?ver=80 where I assigned Global Reader to the Veeam App ID but I still get the error message.Useful suggestions gratefully received.

I’d like to gather as much information on hardening Windows Repos and Proxies, and have it all posted below to help others if they are looking for information on this topic.We all know the Veeam B&R Server has a security checklist which gives you very clear concise things to do for security.  There is also the LHR.  Following the DISA STIG, or using the ISO is a great way to make sure the software portion of your LHR is safe.With the above, you still have to protect the underlying hardware. Everything from physically getting at the Disk, Server Bios/UEFI, destroying the hardware, to SSH ports on a SAN, and use of MFA for logins to a SAN to prevent access. Turning on immutable snapshots and 4-eyes features on the storage pools are also great to implement. Lets not forget the VLAN for your management networks and who is allowed to see those IP’s. Even with all of this, I still don’t see specific documents for hardening a Windows Repository or Proxy server. Many of the same guidelines

I am working on a deployment of Veeam 12.3 on Windows Server 2025 as I see there is now official support.  I am planning to use PostgreSQL, and I was wondering which version to choose.  The 12.3 ISO comes with v15.10-1.  Is that Veeam’s recommendation for Server 2025?The latest version of PostgreSQL is 17.2.  Try as I might, I can’t find any statements regarding PostgreSQL’s support for Windows Server 2025, but if Veeam support is willing to stand behind it, that’s good enough for me.Also, am I correct to assume the only way to run the DB on its own drive (D:) is a manual install of PostgreSQL before the Veeam install?

Hello All,I'm testing Veeam with my homelab Proxmox cluster. I have an issue with a worker on a node that is not reachable every other day. The backup gives a warning message.

I am trying this one more time and have had this work in the past but just wasted hours on a restore that would not boot. I have a replacement laptop a little newer and I installed veeam on the new laptop and created the usb drive. I then booted the usb and went into bare metal selected, connected to my veeam backup and recovery and selected the restore point, removed the partitions and did the restore. The restore said it completed successfully but would not boot even with secure boot off. Tried start up repair and unable to repair. I selected command prompt and I could see all of the files were there and tried some bcdrec stuff but nothing worked. I can restore a clean image and then restore my files that way but the bare metal recovery is supposed to work and obviously it is not in my case. Currently running endpoint backup version 6.2. Trying again but pretty sure it will give me the same result.

Enhancing Your Veeam Security: Key Features to ActivateVeeam Software’s R&D department has been busy the past year. It has introduced three minor feature releases (V12.1, 12.2, and 12.3), including crucial new security features and updates. If you have just installed V12 or are still on V11 and are planning an upgrade to the latest V12 release (V12.3), you may be overwhelmed by figuring out an “order of importance” for activating features.I suggest to customers moving to V12.3, or are using V12.3 but haven’t implemented any security features yet to turn on the new features in this order: Veeam Hardened repository, MFA, 4-Eyes authorization, Entropy and Indicators of Compromise scanning, and Veeam Threat Hunter. First: Veeam Hardened repositoryThe security of your backup infrastructure should start with and center around Immutable storage.  For Veeam, this is the Veeam Hardened Repository (VHR). The Veeam Hardened Repository is delivered as a bootable ISO. It allows you to create a

Hello everyone,A customer of mine wants to restore the SQL backup taken on the VBR Server on a different server. There is no problem so far, but it wants to make the TCP - 1433, 1434 ports 1435 ports required in SQL Restore. Can he do this? If so, does anyone have information on how to do it?

I did a Volume restore a few minutes ago, rolling back to last night’s backup. This is a windows server 2019 environment; NTFS; prior to the restore, I had a couple dozen volume shadow copy restore points. The last one was 5pm yesterday; the nightly backup runs at 11PM. My office manger was working past 5pm, so I was forced to use the volume restore.When the restore was complete, there are no VSC restore points available. Not a big deal in this instance, but they are supposed to be there, correct? Did I do something wrong? Any ideas? 

Hello everyone, I need to change the user account that Veeam Enterprise Manager uses to connect to vSphere. The initial credentials were entered, but the plug-in hasn’t been installed yet, and I don’t see any option to modify the account after the first setup. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to switch the vSphere user for Enterprise Manager? Thanks in advance for your help!

Veeam ONE, a part of Veeam Data Platform Advanced and Premium editions, monitors your virtual and data protection environment and alerts you of issues occurring in the data center. Veeam ONE contains around 300 alarms that allow you to monitor events happening in your environment, but even with its out-of-the-box features, you may decide you want to build your own alarms for specific use cases. To do this, first, you will need to decide what ‘type’ of alarm you want to create. Multiple options are available when creating an alarm, it can be based on a backup infrastructure component such as backup servers, backup repositories, backup proxy, or a different component. You also have the added capability of basing the alarm on an object in your virtual environment.   When creating an alarm, you should know what you want the alarm to monitor. This can be based on a task or event, performance, or even in-guest processes or service. To create an alarm, navigate to the Alarm Management view in

I am confused (not an unusual occurrence). I had to do a restore of a VM to a different backup repository from tape, so I could search for some files for a user. Now, I don’t need that restored image. (this repository is a Windows disk drive, and the restored image is 4TB in size). So I’d like that 4TB disk space back, please. :-)Is there a special procedure for cleaning that off the repository? Or do I just delete it from Windows, like any other set of files?  

Hi everyone,recenly i’m doing some test on the veeam backup&replication community edition on my Dell R710 which is running server 2019 standard. And at the first time, i can add a hyper-v server which is running server2019 (standalone) to the backup job, but once i deleted the job, i cannot add any hyper-v again.It always shows :Failed to connect to host 10.178.3.41Access denied or timeout expired. (sometimes is invalid namespace)Check if you have local administrator privileges on computer '10.178.3.41'.Possible reasons:1. Invalid credentials.2.

I have a vCenter at a remote datacenter which is serviced by its own storage array and physical proxies for direct san backups. The repository is located in the main campus datacenter and i need to encrypt those backups. I have been using job encryption, but those dont compress/dedupe. Can I use Networo k Traffic encryption for this? The documentation says I can encrypt between “backup infrastructure components”. If I specify the proxy servers at the remote datacenter in the job does that mean I could encrypt from “proxy at remote campus” to “sobr at main campus”?  In the Source IP address range section, specify a range of IP addresses for backup infrastructure components on the source site. In the Target IP address range section, specify a range of IP addresses for backup infrastructure components on the target site.
