In Veeam do we have any options to define and to  isolate a Backup traffic, to transfer from dedicate NIC on all Clients, customer have 2 NICS on all clients one used for there Data LAN traffic and recently added new NIC want to use for backup Lan purpose.Backup Lan should be used for Veeam backup/restore traffic . Currently all the traffic is transferred through data LAN.

I have a backup job for my desktop computer that has 3 SSDs, with the C drive being an NVMe drive. Once the job begins, NVMe usage jumps to 100% and response time also jumps to the 1000s of milliseconds. I have IO throttling enabled in settings but that doesn’t help. Basically makes the computer unusable while a backup is running because the computer is sluggish and stutters constantly.

gMSA with VBR Why you should, how you do it and why they don’t solve all your problems This is the first part of a three-part series on gMSA usage with Veeam. This part will cover the background and the basic concept behind it. We will also answer the question, why to use gMSA accounts in the first place. gMSA - one account to rule them all? BackgroundOne of the vulnerable spots of every backup infrastructure originates to the fact that we must communicate with the inside of the workloads to get them in good shape for a proper backup. This is what we call transaction consistency or “

The Veeam folder increased significantly in size overnight while backups were running, expanding by 60 GB and reaching 1 GB by morning. How can we determine what is consuming this space, and are there other methods to monitor this?Veeam ver 12.0.0.1420Please advise

As the global solutions architect for Veeam's Pure Storage alliance, I have been asked this question many times. I am pleased to report that we now have performance results, and they are exceptional.But first, a bit on the test environment:Figure 1Figure 2As you can see the Veeam Backup & Replication Backup Proxies were configured as Virtual Machines (VMs).  This was done to reduce the hardware requirements in the lab testing environment.  This also means that the backup traffic to these virtual Backup Proxies is over in-guest iSCSI, which adds overhead to the CPU and memory workload on those proxies.  It is expected that if the Backup Proxies were

Hi, new user and first time poster. I would love any assistance,when logged in to my account i tried to “my cases”and i got this screenerror screenthe same error appears in the following places:support - submit a case (ironic isn’t it)https://www.veeam.com/signin.html?return_url=https%253A%252F%252Fmy.veeam.com#/open-case/step-1my acount - https://www.veeam.com/signin.html?return_url=https%253A%252F%252Fmy.veeam.compossibly more, i haven’t tried further. 

Hi everyone!I wanted to write today about a tool that happily surprised me and now has made my life easier, related to VPN and connectivity, its called TailscaleThe main slogan says :Secure remote access to shared resourcesTailscale connects your team's devices and development environments for easy access to remote resources.I’ll try to put it on my own words, in my use case, I’ve been using it at the beginning to connect to my Home Lab remotely from my house to my “Jump Station” over RDP, then, I started to use some advanced features:VPN Access to a single client VPN to Remote Site, to access other devices not capable to install the Client Proxy / Traffic router when Im out of the house or in a untrusted network Web central console for configurations, users creation and management. Easy to use client for Linux

We are further developing some of our DR test plans and are exploring the options of using Veeam to restore VMs from the Infinidat storage snapshots.  During testing at our primary site, we can successfully restore individual VMs from the primary storage snapshots on our Inifnidat.  These storage snapshots are also replicated to the Infinidat secondary storage array at our DR site.   We’d like to be able to use Veeam to restore individual VMs from the replicated storage snapshots on the Infinidat secondary storage array.  Our reps at Infinidat advised us to contact Veeam to get this request on record and I opened case #07375492 with Veeam.  Veeam support advised that this feature was not yet supported and recommended that I start here with a feature request.  I appreciate any advice or information you can provide.  Thank you.

Hot off the presses! Today, we’re announcing the general availability of the newest entry to our long list of supported hypervisors, with the addition of Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager. As some of you may be aware, Veeam Backup & Replication has been supporting Red Hat Virtualization for several years now, which runs oVirt and KVM under the hood. Although Red Hat has stopped development on RHV in favor of OpenShift, Veeam Backup & Replication will continue supporting RHV as a source until December 2026.But let’s focus on what’s new: Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager support as a source. The process to get up and running is straightforward: just download the oVirt KVM plug-in and install it on your VBR server. Once completed, you can head back into the console and go to Inventory --> Add Server, and you’ll now see Oracle Linux KVM listed as an opt

I have been going through Google the last few days trying to find an answer to my issue, but so far I have not found the answer that works.  I am getting this error message when I try to run a backup on my one and only community edition that we do not pay for support for.  Failed to perform backup file verification Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).Asynchronous request operation has failed. [readsize = 524288] [offset = 4763648]Agent failed to process method {Signature.FullRecheckBackup}.This is backing up a Cantos SMB server and Every post I have seen says to check for bad sectors, but the checks come back as “OK”.  How else can I check for corrupt data?  what other options do I have to try to remedy this?  Any tips on where to look next are greatly appreciated.

Hi Folks, I am making a plan to try and get Veeam CDP introduced. I have used Zerto but have only used Veeam CDP in labs so far. Does anyone here have production experience with both? I am not looking for a “just boost Veeam” answer 😁. I love Veeam but honesty is always best so if there a things that still need working on with Veeam CDP no issues.

Good day team, Trying to create a sub folder under the backup tree in container and i get this error. This blob storage is working Buexec, backups going to it etc. I also cannot move forward as i need a folder name to select.How can i resolve this?

We have a vSAN cluster where the vSAN network is physically separated on different network switches from the management and other VM networks. When configuring Veeam backup proxy for VM backups on vSAN, what interfaces or connectivity is required? What traffic flows over which interface? Is the below understanding correct or we need only one interface on the backup proxy connecting to the ESXi mgmt network? ESXi: vmnic0 - esxi mgmt  (connected to a pairA of network switches)vmnic1 - vsan (connected to pairB of network switches) NIC0 - connectivity to ESXi Mgmt (Connects to ESXi/vCenter for VM and esxi details, mouting the backup VM disk to the proxy VM)NIC1 - connectivity to the vSAN inetwork (data of the VM is fetched through this interface) Thanks,Sudhir

Hi team, We all know about the type of general backups usch as incremental, full, synthetic full, differential etcMy colleague (a veritas user) wants to move forward with Veeam. However, he is not yet conviced, he is asking if veeam can:Perform general Differential backups efficiently and easily in VBR 12.1 with easy steps Perform Differential backups on VHDX/VHD, VMDK files with retention of choiceI welcome any detailed/explanation insight here. I would love to make him a new Veeam user/believer.

I had a problem with our host server in production and I had to activate the replicas on our second backup host, later I applied permanent Failover, after reestablishing the first host that had the problem, I created replica routines from the backup host server to the main one and I applied permanent Failover, finally, I recreated the replication routines from the main server to the backup server, however, it is no longer working, an error keeps appearing that I couldn't find on the community forum. Failed to process replication task Error: Failed to create planned VM configuration (path: 'D:\9ca0c3d4671a45888343cf0b4ef75605(20)\Virtual Machines\545b475e-2040-49fe-bffb-d9133f3739f4.vmcx').

Hi,I am running some tests on a demo installation of Veeam. I have set up a job with retention and immutability of 5 days. The full backup is done on Sunday and the incremental on Monday. on 3 August the chain immutability expired but on Sunday 4 August veeam did not remove the old chain (with expired retention and immutability verified by s3 browser) how come?
