Task failed. Error: Failed to connect to server IP:11731

Hi all,I have the above error and can’t seem to find a solution. With the research I’ve done so far, some suggested this is an account authentication issue. I’ve ensured that this is not the case. I’ve checked to see if the the port 11731 is being used by another process. It’s not. It’s free and listening. I tried recreating the job, no joy. I’ve rebooted the server to nil effect.Does anyone have any other suggestions?Thanks in advance.

Cleaning Tape Not Recognized in Veeam with Quantum Scalar i3

We are using a Quantum Scalar i3 tape library with a 25-slot license. Accordingly, we've created a partition for 25 tapes and currently have 25 tapes loaded, the cleaning tape ist tape 26 and not in the partition.The problem:We need to perform a cleaning operation via Veeam using the cleaning tape. However, the cleaning tape is not showing up under 'Unrecognized' or anywhere else in the tape libraries within Veeam.When trying to initiate automatic cleaning from Veeam, it says it cannot find the cleaning tape.Steps already taken: Rescanned the tape library in Veeam Performed a full inventory Ran a catalog operationAdditional Information:• Library Firmware Version: 330G.GS118• Veeam Version: 12.3.1.1139• The cleaning tape is correctly shown in the Quantum Scalar i3 web interface. It has the type set to 'Cleaning', a barcode 'CLN001L1', and is marked as 'Accessible'. Its location is also properly listed.• The cleaning tape is not in the partition of the 25 Tapes.Description of the Library

Failed Backups Windows DC upgraded to Server 2025

We are using Veeam Enterprise Backup & Replication 12 in a mixed VMware VM and physical Windows network.We have upgraded all of our Windows servers to Server 2025. Backups on non-domain controllers had no issue post update but our domain controllers are all failing with the same error once the OS was upgraded: Failed to index guest file system. VSSControl: Index failed There are no connectivity issues between the domain controllers and the Veeam servers and proxies. The domain controllers were not all upgraded on the same day, but each would fail as soon as the OS upgrade occurred. So one day the DC running on Server 2022 would be able to be backed up with no issues, the night its upgraded it would fail. No other changes other than OS upgraded. No changes to virtualization or network infrastructure.

Organizing VBO Repos and Jobs for 365 Data

I am setting up VBO to back up 365 data to the cloud as we are starting to migrate all users to 365. I have read it’s best to separate repos instead of just having one repo for the whole organization.Anyone have an example of best setup? So far I am starting out creating separate repos for OneDrive, Teams, Sharepoint, Groups and separate jobs for each one of those. Is this a good approach? I was also going to add one more repo for Users. Would that cover everything for now as we are currently still using exchange on prem?  Should I also make one repo and job for the entire Org with all data in it? Or only have one repo with everything in it? Just want to make sure I set it up properly so I don’t realize I should have set it up differently a year down the road. Thanks!

Veeam for Mac Agent - feedback/experiences

Hi all,Relatively new to the community; been working with Veeam a while now, though!After finally sorting some bits out, I’ve built out a home lab to play with Veeam, but also use my own data as a way to gather experience about day-to-day use of Veeam (I am an architect, so naturally, I never touch the product in anger 🙄 - hoping to fixing that!)I’m loosely aware that the Veeam for Mac agent is relatively new, so while I understand there will be bugs, my current experience has been fairly frustrating (I don't want to treat this as a support-request post, so wont go into specifics). What is your experience of using the Mac agent so far?

Veeam Backup Tape Reports for Tenants

I wanted to ask here in the community if anyone has developed a Veeam Tape report mainly for size reporting that they can share?  I am looking in to VONE but the reports there are not sufficient enough for our reporting.We have a service that clients send to VCC then it tapes out for long term offline storage.  So each month we need to automate reporting on size for each tenant of consumed data on tape.I am also asking in the Vanguard slack too about this so some of you may see this there as well.  Also doing my Googling too. 😋

increase the disk capacity of c: drive of ESXi guess OS

Hi Team,Got a VM running on a ESXi host. Need to add additional disk space to C: drive. However, couldn’t increase it any further using the VM properties under storage. The provisioned disk capacity is 230GB and the total disk utilization is closer to 230GB as well. The machine is thin provisioned. The connected SAN storage got free available space too. Just wondering the best option to add more disk capacity to C: drive please?Appreciate your feedback.kind regards,Andrew

Azure Entra ID for offloading backups to Azure Storage

We would like to clarify a few points about offloading backups to Azure Storage.1. Does the Veeam application support Azure Entra ID for offloading backups to Azure Storage?2. Can Azure Entra ID be used as an alternative to Shared Key access for connecting to Azure Blob Storage?3. Are there any limitations or challenges associated with integrating Azure Entra ID? If so, is there a roadmap for addressing these in future Veeam releases?
