Failed to backup database SchoolDB. Error:  Error code: 0x80070005 Access denied. You must be logged in as a Windows administrator to create a virtual device. Failed to start VDI backup.  All conditions are met, veeam backup service account is apart of local admin group on sql server, requisite sssms server roles assigned to same service account etc What is causing this?

Good day, anyone knows how to fix this and why this happens. Backup Jobs for MONTHS now going on perfectly for this server in veeam 12.1. Now i wake up, logon to vbr to see this crap. What the hell is this?

I have tried requesting an NFR key for a few days now and it never shows up in my email. It has worked every other time I have requested one in the past. I tried opening a case but they said I had to contact sales. So I contacted sales but haven't heard from anyone. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Thanks

hi all….I am puzzled if I create a SOBR:performance tier = backup appliance, immutable for 14 days capacity tier = Azure BlobCan data move to the capacity tier within 14days?Can I set policy to move them monthly so that the backed data is no longer immutable?Or I have to use SOBR copy function?If only SOBR copy, it does not release storage space from the backup appliance, what’s the different if I use BCJ to Azure Blob?

Hello,I try to restore one of my Application VM, then after restored i can see our application is having error.When the VM restored, is this VM identically same with the VM source?

Hello,I am experiencing an issue with my backup system. Backups run normally for about 3-4 days, but then an error occurs, and the backup stops. After restarting the system, everything works fine, but the issue repeats after a few days. All system and software updates have been completed, but the problem persists.The error message displayed is: Job has failed unexpectedly Error: Managed session be2c40b2-5ce6-40ee-bf83-f8c4dbd74b82 has failed. JobId: 7718e3f2-a680-40be-8f4f-68179fda8The NAS and the location are functioning properly, and there are no network disruptions. Backups were running smoothly at first, but after the mentioned period, the error starts appearing.I have attached screenshots of the error for your reference.I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions on how to resolve this issue.Thank you for your help.

Hello,I’m learning for the VMCE Exam. There’s a question with this correct answer: Question: An infrastructure with 50 VMs has a power outage. After the VMware cluster hast booted up again, three large VMs seem to be stuck in a boot loop.Assuming only the OS is installed on the VM OS disk, which method would require the least amount of backup data transferred to allow the VMs to boot? Correct answer: Perform a Virtual Disk Restore with the quick rollback feature disabled. Why it’s not with the quick rollback feature enabled? 

Hello Community!It's been two years since I published a script for a OneDrive for Business file check in this community. And even back then I had the code ready that also checks recovered files for possible malware. Of course, Microsoft 365 also has certain mechanisms, which are documented here.Trust is good, control is betterI have now taken up my idea again and packed it into a new script. The script restores files from the lastest OneDrive for Business restore point and scans them for threats using Windows Defender. A single file can also be restored and scanned.There is a "beautiful" listing when the scan has detected something.Please read the README document on my GitHub for more details on how to use the script.⛔Important!⛔ Make sure that there is sufficient disk space in the directory where the files are to be restored. Also use an empty directory to save the data, as the script cleans everything up after execution.Question to the communityWhat do you think of a script that rest

I have been neglecting my home lab the last few months! So much so it was running a rather dated version of Kubernetes - 1.27.7  I wrote a post here on the trials and tribulations of the upgrade path to 1.30.6 which is the stable version and latest and greatest version that Veeam Kasten supports https://vzilla.co.uk/vzilla-blog/upgrading-my-talos-kubernetes-cluster 

Last week I finally had the time to write my review of the recent Veeam 100 Summit that took place in Berlin for 2024.  It was a fantastic event and experience as always meeting new V100 members and talking with the veterans.  It even had a surprise announcement from ​@Cragdoo moving from the V100 over to being a Veeam employee - congrats again Craig!Feel free to check my blog here as it is quite lengthy with many screenshots and pictures -Veeam 100 Summit Recap - Berlin 2024

Step 1: Check Current Kernel Version Before upgrading, confirm the current kernel version:uname -r Step 2: Update the SystemUpdate the system's package repository to ensure you have access to the latest kernel packages:sudo yum update -y Step 3: Install the Development Kernel Install the development kernel package to provide the necessary headers and libraries for building modules or applications:sudo yum install -y kernel-devel Alternatively, if you need a specific version:sudo yum install -y kernel-devel-<version>Replace <version> with the specific kernel version you want.Step 4: Verify the Installed Kernel and Development Package Check Installed Kernels:rpm -qa | grep kernelEnsure kernel-devel Matches the Installed Kernel: ls /usr/src/kernels/Step 5: Reboot to Use the New Kernel sudo reboot uname -rHappy Kernel Upgrade!!  

 Dear Community did anyone face this issue while installing the new Veeam One? Need your best guideline in the logs file i can see that  

Hello to community. I have question regarding Veeam SQL plugin. Is it possible and supported to use Veeam proxy when configuring SQL plugin. Thanks to everyone. 

In my previous Topic I showed how to use the Veeam Architects Site ,but how does it give us the amount of Cores and memory that the proxy will use? I'll show you … Getting the right amount of processing power is essential to achieving the RTO/RPO defined by the business. In this section, we will outline the recommendations to follow for appropriate sizingWe defineD = Source data in MBW = Backup window in secondsT = Throughput in MB/s = D/WCR = Change rateCF = Cores required for full backup = T/100CI = Cores required for incremental backup = (T * CR)/25Example:Our sample infrastructure has the following characteristics:1,000 VMs 100 TB of consumed storage 8 hours backup window 10% change rateBy inserting these numbers into the equations above, we get the following results.We need to change TB to MB / We need to change Hours to SecsD = 100 TB * 1024 * 1024 = 104,857,600 MB (Source data in MB)W = 8 hours * 3600 seconds = 28,800 seconds (Backup window in seconds)T = 104857600/28800 = 3,6

Unable to see DB backups from Enterprise Manager or VBR when using Veeam's SQL plugin for SSMS.Not sure if this is by design to allow DBA full control of their backup and restore processes or I’m just missing something here. Thanks again for all your inputs.

  Hi! I would like to share an additional aspect that I was able to experience during the Veeam 100 Summit in Berlin. In addition to Summit's fantastic agenda, already brilliantly described in posts by colleagues in the community (congrats, ​@alrasheed) and by ​@NikolaPejkova ​, this contact with history was a very constructive and rewarding experience for me!I had the rare opportunity to visit symbols that marked my youth and have always fascinated me.One of the things that impacted me the most during my adolescence was the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, which I watched on TV. This event celebrated its 35th anniversary six days ago (!). 👏🏻👏🏻The fall represented a symbolic victory for freedom and determination for the entire world, still caught in the Cold War. It is worth visiting the Berlin Wall Memorial, the Wall Museum near Checkpoint Charlie, and the DDR Museum.As an engineer, I have always admired the incredible engineering behind the Boeing 747, a masterpiece developed in

Hi everyone,I have 2 servers with VBR and I’m trying to connect one of those as a backup proxy of the other, so i can manage backups from a single backup server and disable the other one. adding the server as general purpose and CDP proxy works just fine but when I try to add it as vmware proxy it shows me an error message “Transport service is unavailable”. I checked, the service is online and correctly listens on the default port (matter of fact it works as general purpose and cdp proxy, as stated above). The server runs on the very esxi host I’m trying to backup, same hypervisor this server backups daily with no trouble. I updated and rebooted the server with no success. I cannot understand the problem. Can it be because they are slightly different versions?The server that has the problem is version 12.1.1.56 while the server I’m trying configure the proxy in has version 12.1.0.2131. Never encountered this, please help, I read some documentation and the system requirements are fine.

This KB came out years ago and was updated in January.  Just a reminder to check all of your Veeam infrastructure, SQL hosts, and guest OS’s that have application aware and indexing enabled.  I found a few servers that have been created in the last few years missing a few. I don’t know if I’ll see much a performance increase, but it can’t hurt 😀  Antivirus Exclusions for Veeam Backup & Replication KB ID: 1999 Product: Veeam Backup & Replication | 11 | 12 | 12.1 Veeam Cloud Connect | 11 | 12 Published: 2015-02-03 Last Modified: 2024-01-02 Purpose This article documents antivirus exclusions that may be created to reduce the impact that antivirus software has on the functionality of Veeam Backup & Replication.
