After doing a cold boot of the host server, the Veeam backup service has failed to run or come back online. When trying to connect through the client we receive the error message of “No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:9392”After checking the logs, we’ve found an error stating that it failed to fetch logical page (1:21805) in database 5 failed. It belongs to allocation unit 72057594191544320 not to 72057594190823424

Hi, I would like to know how Office 365 Backup counts license? The community edition is free with 10 license.

Right?

Installed Debian Bookworm on BTRFS, backed up with Veeam agent for linux to network storage.Tried to restore from internal SATA to internal SATA, using full disk restore.Restore mentions a warning after completion, could not update UUID. Don't now the exact wording anymore.After booting the system boots to initramfs with the alert: UUID=xxxxxxx does not exist.It appears nothin that can't be fixed with a live CD but IMHO this should not be needed.Is this a bug, known issue or am I doing something wrong?

Like many kids, my daughter started high school this week. Throughout this summer, I’ve been preparing her for the changes that come with a bigger school, more demanding classes, and new extracurriculars. A couple weeks ago, we went back-to-school shopping then spent the afternoon glued to Olympics coverage. As we watched diving and dressage, we talked about the skills the athletes had to learn to compete at that level. We were as interested in how the athletes prepared as we were their performances. This got me thinking about how much time we humans spend preparing.Whether getting ready for school, an athletic competition, or countless other activities it seems like humans are always preparing for something. Proper preparation helps us succeed and achieve our goals. It also helps us plan for things to go wrong. The same is true when you make changes to your technology environment, such as installing Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure. Once installed, Veeam Backup for Microsoft

Question for the service providers in the room. How do you handle customers who were VCC customers, but are looking to migrate their historic backup data from their VCC-B repo to elsewhere. No option to move between repos, and if we’re talking sufficient quantities of data, no practical way to download to local repo, before moving to new location (object for example).Thoughts? 

Hello, I have backup copy job to copy the bcckup to Azure File share. The VBR main repository using SMB and connection speed is 1Gbps. Connection from VBR to Azure file share via VPN site to site with 100Mbps internet bandwidth.What can i see is my internet utilization is still low, only about 20-30Mbps used. Is there any trick how to utilize the connection?  

Good day, Just like in BUEXEC and other backup software apps, how do you pause jobs in Veeam B&R 12.1?  Regards

In a SOBR (Scale-Out Backup Repository) if my performance tier is already a object storage (direct to object) is it possible to run a archive job to offload data to archive tier without a capacity tier? Or i would need first to offload to capacity then archive?

Hello!I trying to setup new backup SQL bases with Veeam Plug-in for SQL Server, but list of bases is emptyTested on two different virtual machines with two different verisons SSMS (17.9 and 19.3) - both not working. How fix this problem?Thanks!

 The Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft SQL natively integrates with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. It transfers database and transaction logs to backup repositories associated with Veeam Backup & Replication.Compared to image-level backups created by Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam plug-ins can offer more flexible scenarios for database backup.This plug-in’s users can backup and restore individual Microsoft SQL Server databases and configure independent backup scheduling for full, differential, and log

Before I begin, let me share what this post is not about → this isn’t about how to become a member of any of the 3 Veeam100 influencers programs. This post is simply about Community engagement, specifically within the Veeam Community.Where to EngageWhy should you engage in the Veeam Community? First, where can you engage? From a website perspective, Veeam has 2 main sites to provide feedback, make feature requests, blog, report potential bugs, or ask questions on - the Veeam Forums and here at the Community Hub. What are the differences between the two? The Forums is a place you can more directly interact with Veeam Product Managemen

 How to avoid an Immutability MigraineWith direct to object storage backups coming in Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) v12, we expect to see many more folks using object storage for their backup repositories.  This means there will be folks using object storage for the 1st time.  If they are like me they will probably use the graphical user interface (GUI) native to the object storage platform to manage their object storage.The native GUI will definately make the management easier, but it can also cause some headaches that you don’t expect.  The reason I am writing this is to help you avoid one such migraine when you are using your object storage’s native GUI to configure your object storage bucket to create an immutable object storage repository in VBR.The ScenarioThe 1st thing you need to do to create your immutable object storage repository is to create t

Occasionally, Veeam releases software updates to fix bugs, performance enhancements and introduce new features apart from major version releases of Veeam Backup & Replication. Here is an article on how to update Veeam Backup and Replication [VBR]:https://techdirectarchive.com/2024/08/14/how-to-update-veeam-backup-and-replication-vbr/ Also, in this article, I have provided the steps on how to update Object First OOTBI Cluster. You will learn how to perform cluster update via the Object First management Console, and via the TUIhttps://techdirectarchive.com/2024/08/14/how-to-update-object-first-ootbi-cluster/ 

We currently have Veeam for M365 v7 running in Community Edition mode since we are not using the product anymore. However, we have plenty of data from 2020 to 2022 that was backed up to a S3 Standard bucket. We rarely (read, twice a year) need to query or restore anything from it.Our Veeam rep is happy to provide a temporary license to reactivate the product for any job requirements, so the question would be - what is the best option to move this data from S3 Standard to a different tier, and what are the implications that come with this? My thought process was the following:Add a new S3 repo that is on a Glacier Instant Retrieval / Glacier Deep Archive tier bucket Create a backup copy job to copy the current data in the S3 Standard bucket to the newly created bucket above Delete the original backup / S3 Standard bucket holding the original dataIs this a supported / reasonable strategy? I’m assuming that the Archiver appliance would

Hey Team, We use strictly hyper v server core hosts to house vms in the environment. I observed a few things?Veeam successfully creates repos both azure and lcoal Veeam successfully added all the hyperv host servers showing all vms under each Error code - 32774 - Performing a Hyper V Backup Type for a vm under any host to a local repo FAILS - i observe a “logon as a service” error then i am directed by veeam support to read - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/virtualization/starting-or-live-migrating-hyper-v-vms-fails

Hello,In my home lab, the backup repository, running on windows server 2022, using REFS, using V: drive letterVBR is running in a VM on that same server, also on V: drive letter.If that server died, then i have lost all my backups, .vbm|.vib|.vbkSure, I use backup copy jobs but those are stored off-site , but for the sake of this topic, I want to ignore that.If i had a disaster i would have to download the backup files or do an instant restore over slow internet.So I want/need to backup the OS, the c: drive.Can i use that VBR to do it or what do you suggest?Thanks much, David 

Regarding the SQL database export, using SQL staging server, it appears that the export was executed from the existing production instance rather than from the Veeam backup storage media. This suggests that a direct export from the Veeam backup storage is not possible, which is what I wanted to verify.As a result, Veeam management tools will be required to restore the SQL database and its transaction logs to a specific point in time using the Veeam backup storage media.Is my understanding correct?

Hello, I would like to add an antivirus for the back-up analysis when recovering files. Is it possible to add this function from Forti-EMS?I can't find the config .xml file for veeam from Fortigate / Forti EMS.Thanks

Hi Everyone,I posted a while back about some free sites that help you detect AI generated text.There are also manual methods to detect it. I for one have noticed that the intros all tend to be very similar in structure and phrase use. Another aspect of AI generated text in English is the over use of “the”. I am not against using AI as a tool but don’t think it is a good idea to create AI blogs and then claim authorship. I had a conversation with one AI expert this weekend who said that in the long run the people who stay real will win. As humans get more used to detecting AI it will get the “spam in a can” reputation and will become the mental fast food of the blog world, potentially with a warning from the Surgeon General “loss of brain cell risk if used excessively or consumed not in moderation” :) . He ventured on to say that it will be the same thing if and when humans start creating Androids (not the phones silly, but the human like robots).
