A question came up during a recent customer demo of Veeam I was hosting == Is a snapshot enough for a backup or do you need an actual backup. My answer was you should have both. In this post, we'll break down exactly what snapshots and backups are, where each excels, where each fails, and how Veeam ties them together into a strategy that actually protects you. Some will say snapshots are good enough. Others will say they're a disaster waiting to happen. The truth, as usual, is somewhere in between — but with an important nuance: "snapshots and backups are not the same thing, and you need both."Misunderstanding the difference between these two technologies has led to real data loss events at real organizations. What is a Snapshot?A snapshot is a "point-in-time capture of a storage state". It records the state of a VM, volume, or dataset at a specific moment — not by copying all the data, but by tracking *what has changed* sin

Special thanks to our dear Veeam Support Team Members Cosmin Ciobanu and Marius Nita for the following trick! Veeam Support is _always_ looking for ways to make everyone’s lives easier.Currently, to generate an HTML report for many sessions at once you need to go to the Session tab in the UI and ctrl / shift + click on desired sessions; not always convenient, and for Transaction Log backup sessions in particular you may have hundreds (if not thousands) of sessions.With Powershell and a bit of prep work, you can do this automagically: Preparatory Step:From a Windows-based backup server, copy the following filesCopyC:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\SessionReport.xsltC:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\SqlSessionReport.xsltto the following path on the machine where you will generate the report with Powershell:Windows:

Hi All,  Has anyone seen hotadd Linux (Rocky 9.7) VM proxies go sideways and not mount after upgrading to v13? I also added a new v13 appliance proxy and the result were the same.

Hello everyone,After upgrading Veeam Backup & Replication from version 12.3.2.4165 to 13.0.1.1071, we also upgraded Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft SQL Server using the ISO 13.0.1.1071, which installed Veeam Plug-In version 13.0.1.180.The upgrade process completed successfully without any visible errors.However, after the upgrade, SQL Server backups are no longer running successfully.All SQL backup jobs are now failing with the following error:Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server] Database is invalid or cannot be accessed Before the upgrade, backups were working correctly with no issues.Has anyone experienced a similar issue after upgrading to Veeam 13?Any suggestions on what to check would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone,I would like to get some advice regarding the optimal Veeam architecture for a two-site environment.Infrastructure Hyper-V environment Two locations: Vienna Novi Sad Sites connected with 1 Gbps IPSec tunnel Repository available in both locations Current components: Backup Server Hyper-V hosts acting as on-host proxies Repository Vienna Repository Novi Sad Current designRight now the backup jobs run like this:VMs from both locations → backup to Vienna repositoryThen we run Backup Copy jobs from:Vienna Repository → Novi Sad RepositoryThis means that VMs located in Novi S

Hi since upgrading my PVe to version 9.1 and the VBR to 13, the backup performance have degraded a lot. We have 1 worker per pve host, storage is Ceph. Did someone encounter this issue?

Hello,I have to configure S3 Wasabi for the first time and I would like to be sure about the configuration.I will use it as backup copy repository with immutability.1) I create the bucket on Wasabi with versionning + object lock enabled2) I create a policy on Wasabi based on https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... positoriesI need the policy "Immutability Enabled and Helper Appliance Configured Beforehand" right ?How could I limit the policy only to the bucket "backupbucket" ? Because if I understand correctly, the policy in Veeam documentation has permission on all buckets.3) I create a new user and assign the policy4) I create the repository to veeam and set the desired immutability.I think I need so

Hello,Using Veeam 365 community edition, backing up our Sharepoint site always end with warnings of: Processing site: https://**********.**** completed with warning: Failed to backup item version: /********/********/********/.****, version: 2.0, Download timeout exceeded (last error: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host..). All retry attempts failed. Re-run the backup job to proceed. Total count of failed items: 17The file it stops on changes each time and the number of files, still backs up most data but it is never fully successful. We have 20 backup applications, the backup is running and downloading data but it’s average processing rate is only around 500kbpsAnyone else seen this, what other logs to check in Veeam or Office 365 or a fix? Running version 8.3.0.2201 P20251212 

Running Veeam agent for Linux, v. 6.3.2.1207_x86_64. OS is Mint MATE 22.  Been making weekly backups for a year or more, just now trying a test recovery on spare computer- loaded some files, ran b/u to ext. drive, deleted files.  Have Recovery Media on stick, using steps in user guide.  All good thru several menus until “Mount Local Disc” which brings up a menu “Select Local Disc” but there are no items from which to select.  Backup drive lights up, so recognized by system.  What am I missing?  

As we know VMCE will be retired and VMCA was retired, so anyone know what the new certication path now?

Hi teamCan someone shed some light on this and how best to go about it.We have Nutanix cluster A and Nutanix cluster B.VM have been moved from cluster A with Nutanix Move, which creates a new VM on cluster B and syncs data. My guess is that it creates a new UUIDThere is an existing backup to a Wasabi Repo from cluster A.How can I re-create/re-point the backups that are on the repo so that the copied VM on cluster B can continue to use the backups already there?I am not so sure if there is a remap function for this. I also cannot add vm from the new cluster to the existing job as it only allows me to select existing one. It appears that you select cluster first when creating the job.My guess is I may have to create a new job and let old one age out?

What is this type of issue ? Anyone, please explain.   

I have company policy to not use port 80 and i can see Veeam GatewayAPI was listen on port 80.Can we change this port?  

Hello everyone,We have some old tape backups in the VBR software under “Backups”.We would like to delete them (or at least remove them from the view) but I can't find an option to do this.This backup was on old tapes and this tapes are no longer available.Can you help me further? Otherwise I ll open a support ticket.Thanks.

 Veeam Pulse allows administrators to create and manage licenses through a centralized and streamlined workflow. The process typically involves accessing the Pulse portal, generating a new license based on the required product and subscription parameters, and assigning it to the appropriate customer or environment. Once created, the license can be downloaded or automatically synchronized with Veeam products, ensuring proper activation and compliance. This approach simplifies license lifecycle management, reduces manual errors, and provides clear visibility over usage and entitlements. This is the error you receive when using a licence in legacy format.Veeam Software Appliance does not support legacy-format rental licenses.

We've been running the Framework in corporations throughout the year.In this post, I'll share with you the main results and how this initiative has encouraged teams to work together to achieve the highest possible compliance. In early January, we started using the Assessment provided by Veeam. In our client base and new logos. Today, at the end of October, we've already surpassed 50 clients, guided by scope of work, documentation, numerous meetings, and excellent commercial results. After the Framework round, we typically move on to a series of Scope of Work and Commercial MovementThis has been quickly moving customers, distributors, manufacturers, and partners, and it's being treated with priority, according to projects already underway within organizations. Yet another reminder that backup, often seen as a dull necessity, once again proves to be the unsung hero when it matters most. 

Hey all,I'd like to share an experience I encountered with one of my clients who uses the Virtual Lab functionality to test their backups.Problem:Suddenly the SureBackup starts to fail. When the SureBackup job launches, it fails during VM registration with vCenter Investigation:My virtual labs are properly set up in Veeam and the association with the ESXi is OK. As a reminder, a Virtual Lab must be assigned to a unique ESX host. If you move the Virtual Lab Vm to another ESX, your jobs will failed. On the vCenter side, all virtual labs are presents in their

I have been looking forward to testing Veeam Data Cloud for quite some time. I first discussed it during the Veeam Summit in Berlin (2024) and again in Prague (2025). Today, I finally have the opportunity to experience it firsthand.
