I was going over my feed today and stumbled upon a bunch of folks talking about how Minio is now in maintenance mode: https://charts.min.io/Minio was the first S3 and I used with Veeam way back in 2019 and also used it a lot for Kubernetes. Sad to see it go but this seems to be a trend I guess.I think the lesson for everyone is make sure that there is competition and alternatives. If there are not then expect unpleasant surprises.

Hi Community, For those using the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) appliance integrated with Veeam to protect workloads such as VMware VMs, agent based backups, and native GCP backups, I have a question about performance tuning.My VBR server has 32 vCPUs and 64 GB RAM, and it acts as the Gateway Server for a Google Cloud Storage bucket. What is the best practice for setting the number of concurrent tasks for this configuration to achieve optimal performance without overloading the system?  

Hi everyone,I was in Prague a few weeks ago and I had a question to ask, but I ended up forgetting to ask it, a question that keeps coming to my mind.The question is this: what does Veeam mean? Now I've figured it out, but I want to launch this poll and here are four options, which one is correct? Let's have some fun and vote. :-)I've asked several people who deal with Veeam and they don't know.

Hi Everyone, I have started a new podcast! To get things rolling I asked former Veeam Legend/Vanguard, current Veeam MVP and all around data protection superstar Michael Paul to come and teach me Entra ID and how to back it up properly with Veeam! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2545760/episodes/18306636 

 Hi everyone,I wanted to raise a question regarding the upgrade process for Veeam Backup for AWS.From my understanding, performing major version upgrades currently requires installing the on-prem Veeam Backup & Replication  — even if only the trial version — just to run the upgrade wizard.This feels counter-intuitive and unnecessary for several reasons: Veeam Backup for AWS is a cloud-native solution, often used in environments that don’t run any on-prem VBR infrastructure. Requiring an on-prem installation introduces extra operational overhead: Deploying a Windows VM Installing and updating VBR Managing firewall rules and connectivity For customers who deliberately chose a fully cloud-based architecture, installing an on-prem VBR instance

Happy Friday, Veeam community! I am here with another packed Veeam Vanguard Newsletter including all content published by Vanguards during the last month. It´s a looong list full of great content, so make yourself comfortable and enjoy reading! 😎 ​@AndrePulia - My Veeam 100 Summit Experience - https://pulia.com.br/my-veeam-100-summit-experience/@AndreTheGiant - Linux versions supported by Veeam Backup & Replication 13 (November 2025) -

IntroductionOn December 4th, 2025, CISA, NSA, and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security released a joint analysis detailing a new and highly sophisticated backdoor targeting VMware vCenter environments: “BRICKSTORM”.Mandiant (Google Cloud) published a report already in September 2025 with an in-depth technical analysis, confirming the threat’s scope and impact. As this is a very dangerous and sneaky malware, I want to break down what this means for us in the backup and virtualization community—and why you should act now. What is BRICKSTORM?BRICKSTORM is a custom backdoor designed for long-term persistence in VMware

Why Redhat 8.6 is supported and Rocky Linux 8.6 no?

Hi,  We currently have VBR 12.3.1 Windows installed with VHR 2.0. When I ugrpade the VBR server to V13, do I immediately have to upgrade VHR too or can I do that a few days later?ThanksEdy

I hope you can help me with the following problem. When I perform a sure backup (Backup verification mode: Backup content verification  and content scan only), I get the following message in the log: Error: Failed to call RPC function 'FcCheckFilesystemIsAccessible': The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drives are loaded and that the volume is still corrupted. The email notification I receive indicates that the verification was successful. My question is why I'm getting this warning and how can I resolve it? Here are some specifications of our server: Veeam Backup & Replication Build 12.3.2.4156 Backup server runs on a Hyper-v  Hyper-v: Windows Server 2025 24H2 Build 26100.7171Bare metal: Windows Server 2022 21H2 Build 20348.4405 Hopefully you can help me with this.

Hello guys,I’m planning to do the upgrade to v13.Is there any recommended way of doing it, documentation that I can follow?Thank you in advance.

Hi teamPlease excuse my ignorance as I have not done this before and would like your advise.Current VEEAM implementation has AHV proxy configured to back up the environment.A new AHV clusters will be added. My initial uneducated thought assumed to re-use the existing proxy but I think that is actually not possible now. It seems the proxy configuration cannot be altered so I think it leaves me with no choice to create new one. No biggie.Also, I noticed that there is an embedded worker for the cluster configured in the proxy.In general, Would you suggest adding more workers to the new cluster? There are 3 nodesCheers

Hi,I’m trying to configure HA on my Veeam Backup Server. Has anyone seen this or ran into a similar issue? I can ping both servers from IP and FQDN. Both have DNS entries. I ran through the pre-requisites of allowing HA to be configured from the Host Management, Now, I’m at a loss ..any ideas?
