Why am I not allowed to create a recovery media for this machine?

In my post about Hyper-V 2025, I went over what’s coming that’s new in Server 2025, and a few things about Hyper-V support with Veeam… I was curious, what additional Veeam feature do you think would be most exciting to see here? 

We backup an O365 organization with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 7.1.0.1501. Everything went well, but tonight the backup of all mailboxes failed with error message: "Processing mailbox failed with error: Failed to get folder properties. Not allowed to access Non IPM folder." Also the backup of all teams failed with error message: "Failed to process team. Failed to get folder properties. Not allowed to access Non IPM folder." The backup of OneDrive and SharePoint worked properly. Any idea?

Hello Again 😖We’re on Veeam 11.0.1.1261 P20220302. Only using the Backup and Replication portion. No VeeamOne etc.. Am curious if there’s a way to get a summary of what type of compression/deduplication ratios we’re seeing besides what’s on the email generated on job completion.I assume each job is going to be different. You’ll probably get better ratios on full backups than incremental.Do I need VeeamONE here to do this?

IntroductionHi guys,This article is based on a request from one of our customers who asked us to conduct a study on the use of immutability with StoreOnce and related legal aspects. In addition, the request was to delve into the workflow of dual authorization. BUT first of all I would like to thanks @regnor  to permit me to re-use parts or screenshots from his StoreOnce posts - Part1 - Part2 and

As today is World Backup Day 2024, I thought I’d share a tale from back in the day. This was from my first proper job after university, working as a First Line Analyst (i.e., Helpdesk). I was, to say the least, ‘green behind the ears,’ as the saying goes. It was also my first time navigating the world of an office environment and working with remote offices.Let me start by setting the scene. Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2 were the Server Operating Systems installed on bare metal boxes. Windows XP was THE Operating System of choice, and Windows 7 had just been released. The word ‘virtualisation’ was not even something we came across. We pretty much had dedicated hardware for each server role required. Domain controller? Physical box running that role. File Server? Another dedicated box for that role. SQL Server? Yet another dedicated box. You get the picture. This, in turn, required a large amount of space to house all the servers. Additionally, installing serv

Hi, I am trying to backup the Windows PC’s on my LAN using Agent backup and am having the same issue as the person on this post: https://forums.veeam.com/servers-workstations-f49/creating-new-backup-in-protection-group-issue-t79935.html I have read the issue several times and I don’t think I understand the terminology being used. And I have successfully installed Agent on my Windows machine and executed the command to connect to B&R.  I also see the machine on B&R. Ideally, I would like to schedule backup jobs for this machine and also be able to run adhoc backups using the B&R console.Is this possible? Thank you, Hammer

Hi Folks,Following on from the news regarding a backdoor in the Linux library xz, a Yara Rule is now available that can be used in Veeam 12.1 if you do not utilise a vulnerability scanner in your environment. Great way to check by leveraging Veeam to do the scanning for you. There is more info about the vulnerability on the post by @JMeixner :Yara Rule can be found here: https://github.com/Neo23x0/signature-base/blob/master/yara/bkdr_xz_util_cve_2024_3094.yar

Hi all,i was testing and studying the FileServer Backup. Reading the guide from “Top to bottom” :-) under Requirements and Limitations for File Shares i see"To support the VSS for SMB File Shares feature, make sure that requirements listed in this Veeam KB article 3099 are met."Link at the kb https://www.veeam.com/kb3099Under Requirements of that Kb it says "The Veeam Backup Server and the Windows File Server hosting the SMB Share must be joined to the same Active Directory domain."? Is this real? I cannot use vss on fileserver that are not in the domain of the VBR Server?The guide is for the V12Thanks for helps.

Backup Job Chains… If I keep seven (7) restore points and run an Active Full on Saturday (point #7) what happens to the six (6) files in the prior backup chain? Are they useless but don’t get deleted because we’re keeping seven (7) restore points?  Backup Copy Jobs are different if not mistaken. If you keep seven (7) restore points and the seventh is a periodic full, the six prior restore points are deleted all at once?

Hi Community team! I have a doubt regarding the availability of VDC 365 Data Residency in Brazil's South Azure Region. I didn´t find this information in the documentation.The service´s docs state that backup data created by Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 or Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft Azure can be targeted to and reside in any Azure region as end users request. Metadata is encrypted and stored in one of the following Azure regions: United States West. United Kingdom South, or Australia East.Do you know if storing the backups in Brazil's South Region in an LRS redundancy schema is possible?Choose the Right Azure Region for You | Microsoft AzureThanks so much for your help! 

Hello everyone,VSPC allows us to be alerted when a computer has not been backed up for a specific number of days.However, when a device has multiple jobs configured, what if one of those jobs has not been running for some time but other jobs completed? An example scenario is this:Job 1: when a backup target is connectedJob 2: daily at midnight What if job 1 never gets executed as the target is never connected but job 2 does?Is there a way I could be alerted? Thank you in advance.Daniele Capuano

Hello again! Onto my second post for world backup day, this time looking at the moments leading up to a disaster. In this post we’re going to look at ways to proactively prevent failures. After all, the best backups are the (tested) ones that didn’t need to be used because everything is fine.Let’s kick this off with a trip down memory lane. During the days that all storage media was a traditional hard drive with spinning disks, it was typically pretty obvious when a hard drive was failing, we could hear issues such as failed bearings or the scratching of a needle as these were mechanical faults that were developing. However, when we look at flash storage, which doesn’t contain any mechanical parts, the lack of being able to hear problems developing can result in people taken by surprise when storage fails.Nearly 30 years ago, Compaq released S.M.A.R.T into the public domain, providing a standard of storage health for all vendors. S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, a

Hi Community,i would like to give a suggestion for maybe a future release.When moving a backup to another repository, the job occupies all free task asap. Other jobs on that server will be delayed until the Move-Jop is finished.I suggest a dialog where one can limit the tasks the Move-Job is using, so the normal backup routine is not on full hold.What are your thoughts on this?

I’m not sure if this is an existing issue or new, however, when doing a Quick Migration in VBR 12.1, I see no processing rate of the job when completed.  In VBR 11, we would get a XYZ MB/s or GB/s in that “area”. Any ideas? Can this be found in logs? Some DB table (how to connect to DB if so)?
