There is one VM in our prod environment that I am unable to backup due to unable to quiesce the VM. I looked at the event log of the machine and found out Event ID 157 and Event ID 15 started occurring same time the backup started failing. Looks like there are phantom disks seen by the OS. Device Manager shows 2 drives and this is correct. I have storage migrated the VM but the error keeps on occurring meaning it is with the VM itself. System scan (sfc) not showing any error.  What are your thoughts on this?  

Hi, I have a customer where we are moving them from two veeam servers to one. From a server and proxy perspective I can delete and then add them to the new primary Veeam server however I was just wondering about jobs/backup copies etc and if there’s a way to migrate over.Any suggestions on config migration options, tips and tricks will be welcome.thanks

Hello Community,I successfully deployed SOBR ( Performance > Capacity > Archive). The archive tier is in Azure. For the archive tier, I am experiencing that the speed of moving backups from the archive to the capacity tier is 50MB/s. I selected a high-capacity VM in the VBR, specs are below however the speed does not exceed more than 50MB/s. Size - Standard F8s v2vCPUs - 8RAM - 16 GiBSo I have a question for the community is 50MB/s is usual speed for Azure archive appliance? If not than what is your recommendation to increase the transfer speed.If I use private endpoints,  will it assist in increasing the speed? I am currently communicating via public IP.

Hi all, a customer with a physical node with SLES for SAP needs to migrate the system to new hardware.Unfortunately I don't have much experience on SAP, and not much information on OS and software versions at the moment either.The OS is installed on local disks of the node, while the db data resides on external storage (SAN).Is it suggested to use VAL to migrate via volume restore?What are the caveats and/or points to watch out for?Can application consistency be achieved?ThanksMarco S.

Hi everyone,would like to inform you that during file level restore on an Oracle Linux 8 (Hypervisor OLVM 4.5.4-1.0.31.el8) direct restore of a file on the VM returns this error@DChiavari  informed me that it is a bug also present in the beta version of the Proxmox VE Plugin and will be fixed in the v12.2 release@atinivellirestore di guest files linux "in place" su ovirt | Veeam Community Resource HubRegards

Hello All.About 5-10 years we were hacked and had ransomware. Installed the latest edition of Veeam and with the malware detection enabled. It now found 20 instances. Some are pointing to certain directories and I can recognize the names of the files and they have the .wallet extension (this appears to be from the old hack I had) when I go to the location of the folder and enable show all files and folders I still do not see these files listed.  I therefore deleted the entire folder (it was junk anyways) and today a day later it detected the same malware in the folder that was deleted yesterday.   I’m trying to figure out how this is detecting items in folders i erased.  Anything tips?

Hey ! Do you know if it’s possible to change the Settings Related to Veeam for M365 Log Files ?I found a KB for VBR but nothing for M365. https://www.veeam.com/kb1825Thanks.

 Veeam User RolesVeeam Backup & Replication uses a role-based authorization system to manage user access and authorizations. Each role contains a set of permissions that define specific actions that users can perform in the Veeam Backup & Replication console. This gives you more control over your data backup and recovery and prevents unauthorized access.  User Roles in Veeam:Veeam Restore Operator: This role allows users to recover data from backups. Users can browse backups, select recovery points, and restore files or objects to their original location or an alternative location. However, they do not have the author

Hello,We have restored a SharePoint file to another site, and the creation date of this file has been changed. Do you have an explanation for this behavior? Thank you in advance.

Hi All. How many of you are using Linux Repositories in your own production environments? Is there any thing you would change or do differently right now?For those of you who have made the switch did you notice any performance differences? I have many SAN’s arriving my way in the next few weeks. Many PB’s of storage.  For Veeam I’m going to be using NVMe flash at our production.  We want the ability to run a good amount of prod from backups for labs, testing, fast recovery in a critical event.  I also have tape jobs running air gapped copies at multiple sites. . .  For DR, it’s less common to run out there so it’s not going to be quite as fast on the storage side.  As I’m using SAN’s, I need to attach servers. Currently with Windows servers things have been great, but the idea of immutable storage is nice.   This gives me an opportunity to potentially change 1 or both sites even to Linux . Currently now I have an all in 1 setup

 @Rick Vanover @safiya @Madi.Cristil since Veeam is supporting many virtualization platforms would it be possible to create a section dedicated to hypervisors to share impressions, guides, suggestions on this topic?could be interesting.What does the community think about this?@Geoff Burke @MicoolPaul @Chris.Childerhose @JMeixner @Iams3le @dloseke @marcofabbri @Scott @dips @coolsport00 

Hi Everyone, I use vCenter to manage esxi hosts. I am planning to update vCenter. When updating vCenter, I have to configure remove vCenter HA and delete passive,witness VM then update vCenter. i have configured job backup for vm vCenter on Veeam Backup. I have a question, if the vcenter update process fails, I restore the vm vcenter, will it return to its original state including the configured vcenter HA and the passive and witness VM?Thanks a lot.

Hi, I’m looking at a problem where the retention policy only gets applied hours after the job completes, seems to be just after midnight. It’s a reverse incremental job, repository is set to per VM. It causes a nerror as the tape job(not using veeam) tries to copy the file but it’s missing. The job is set to 28 days retention and its always the last vrb that is missing. Is this the normal expected behavior ? I suspecting that maybe it is as the restore point gets deleted soon after midnight. thanks 

Dear Community,our installation is based on a single Hyper-V host with 3 VMs. Veeam v11 community was running fine until I upgraded to v12.Software is installed on a Win10 dedicated PC. When launching the V12 console, it asks for an Host upgrade which arrives to an error:“failed to upgrade host components. error: veeam distribution service is not installed”Do you know how to install such service on host?thank you for your testimonials and help

I am a new user on Veeam Backup and Replication 12, as I wanted to use as tool to backup my NAS device under Unstructured Data Backup route. I have some questions after creating my backup job.Since the application was installed on my own Windows PC, I cannot keep it open all time when the backup work is on the way, while I afraid if my backup files may get corrupted after many interruptions. So I want to know if any possible way that the backup will not interrupted even my PC was shut down? Is adding a backup proxy a solution? Due to thinking the above, I rented a cloud server, using Windows Server 2022, but when I tried to add it as backup proxy with my credentials related to access of my rental cloud server, it did not work. I wonder what is the issue?

Could anyone help for the following scenario . [Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupSession]::GetAll() For the above command do we have any commands as the above one not fetching all backup session ids done for particular location.

Hello,is there a way to failback after a manual failover?On my situation, I have one host (esxi) with some vms including the Veeam vm (all components: proxy, server, consolle etc) and another one host where I store some replicas vms. In case the first host become offline (including the Veeam vm), I could power on manually replicas on the other host, but how to failback to the original host when it become online again? Obviously Veeam server at this point doesn’t know that I have done failover.. is there a way to consolidate each replica on original vm ?I know it is not the best situation but at the moment there is no other options.thanks!

VBR module unable to fetch complete list of servers(clients) from a backup job. As some physical server backup job ids are not getting populated even it’s taken the backup.
