Hi everyone,I have been testing Veeam Backup with Proxmox and overall I think the integration is a good and important step. The Veeam Backup Worker concept also looks promising and works reasonably well so far.However, compared to VMware-based jobs, the current Proxmox implementation feels less flexible in a few areas. I would like to share some feedback and also check whether I may have missed something in the configuration.The main points are:No backup encryption option visible In the Proxmox backup job settings, I currently do not see an option to enable backup encryption. This is something I consider important, especially when backups are stored on shared repositories, offloaded, or handled as part of a broader security concept. Is encryption currently not supported for Proxmox backup jobs, or is it configured somewhere else? No job chaining / “start after another job” option For Proxmox backup jobs, it looks like I have to configure a fixed schedule, for example a specific daily s

Dear Experts,I'm validating Veeam Backup for a client.I would like to back up VMs on Nutanix AHV.I created a backup worker by referring to the following documents.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/ahv_workers_add.html?ver=13So, I have some questions.Our customer wants to synchronize the time of this WORKER with their NTP server.Q1) Is it possible for Veeam's WORKER to synchronize their time with their NTP server?Q2) Could you please tell me how to synchronize the Veeam worker with their NTP server?I apologize for asking such a very basic question, but could you please tell me?Kind Regards,Hideki

I am a first time Veeam customer trying to set up a new test environment using a trial license in hopes to purchase it. I have one physical HPE server that is running the Veeam VSA installed from the latest ISO file.  This is the only backup repository.  I have a second physical HPE server that is running Windows Server 2022.  This has a tape drive connected to it.  This also is the windows mount server.  I also have a laptop that I’m using just for management purposes with the console installed. I have a third physical server with Hyper-V on it.  I was having no issues backing it up but I created a new virtual machine with 2 large disks for testing and pointed it at the VSA iso file and during install chose the Veeam Enterprise Manager option.  I am not totally certain but believe this is what broke backups for me.  Now when I try to backup any of the virtual machines on this Hyper-V server I get an error “Unable to detect the VBR BIOS UUID. This error likely appears because the Veeam

Hi everyone,I'm running into a strange issue with a Veeam Backup & Replication Appliance v13.0.2.29 on a physical HPE Gen10 server with iLO 5 (firmware 3.13).The appliance boots normally and displays the Veeam Host Management screen, but I can't access the network configuration because the keyboard input doesn't seem to work correctly.ENTER to change the network config!What I've tried:HTML5 Remote Console Java Integrated Remote Console (v252) Different browsers Hotkey programming Ctrl+X Ctrl+Shift+X Fn combinations Java updated to the latest versionThe problem is that Enter does not activate the "Sign in" button, so I can't get into the Host Management menu to change the appliance IP address. The appliance currently has an incorrect IP configured, so I can't access the web interface or SSH.The server is in a remote datacenter, so connecting a physical keyboard isn't an easy option.Has anyone experienced this with the Veeam Appliance or iLO 5?Is there a known workaround to get Enter

This is the second time my Veeam 13 console cannot connect and shows the error below.The first time I faced this issue, I reinstalled VBR and it worked normally. However, now that I am facing it for the second time, I feel there might be a bug in this version.After checking the Veeam services, I found that there are three services that cannot start:Veeam Backup Server RESTful API Service Veeam Explorers Recovery Service Veeam Web ServiceHas anyone else experienced the same issue?   

I setup Veeam Agent 13.0.3.1220 on a new windows 11 pro computer and have been unable to get it to complete a backup task. I restarted the VSS services with no change. It’s backing up to a synology nas file share. Here are the backup details.  Creating VSS snapshot Error: Failed to create snapshot: Backup job failed.

Hello,I need some recommendations or ideas for my backup-to-tape design.I need to back up VMs to tape with the following retention requirements:Daily retention: 365 days Monthly retention: 12 months Yearly retention: 3 yearsAssuming I have enough tape cartridges available, what would be the best way to design the media pools?My initial idea is:Create one job with a media pool for daily backups. Create 12 jobs with 12 separate media pools for monthly full backups. Create 3 jobs with 3 separate media pools for yearly full backups.However, I think this approach may make restorations more complicated. For example, if I need to restore data from April 5, would I need to mount the April monthly tape as well as all daily tapes required to reconstruct the backup chain from January 1 to April 5? Am I understanding this correctly?Therefore, I am considering a different approach:Combine the monthly and daily backups into the same backup chain. Each media pool would contain one full backup followe

I am a first time Veeam customer trying to set up a new test environment using a trial license in hopes to purchase it but unfortunately have had a lot of trouble setting things up and restores have been a nightmare. I have one physical HPE server that is running the Veeam VSA installed from the latest ISO file.  I am able to run a backup of unstructured data but am unable to restore.  When I try I get no mount server is available.  I have a second physical HPE server that is running Windows Server 2022.  I also have a laptop that I’m using just for management with the console installed. The issue is when I go to Backup infrastructure and click on Managed Servers/Microsoft Windows, I see the windows server, we’ll call it backup1.testdomain.com and next to it says “Microsoft Windows server (default Windows mount server).”  When I go to Backup repositories, I see Default Backup Repository and the linux VSA box, we’ll call it VSA1 (not joined to a domain).  If I go to the properties of VS

Hi All,I’m wondering if there is a more widespread issue with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365?A customer has recently noticed the processing speed for their M365 jobs is grinding to a halt and not finishing at all. They have tried many things including provisioning a physical server with SSD but the job processing rate remains very low.Are there any suggestions to improve this? They are on the latest version and only noticed the issue within the last few weeks.Setup - One Server, One organisation. 4 jobs to process - Mailboxes, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.Using one account for all jobs. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter.

 When choosing a country for Vault Foundation - just to confirm, even with Vault Foundation you can do restores/clean rooms without consuming some of your 20% fair use capacity as long as you restore into the same region?  

I have to remember to get into Tape Infrastructure and mark tape a free to clear it.   How about add the feature into the tape backup job?   Every other backup I ever used from Arcserve, Symantec, Linux based had this feature.   

 Veeam是否可以直接备份到磁带机中？本地存储的空间不足，请问是否有其他方法，能够直接备份到磁带机中？

We are looking to upgrade and migrate our Veeam database from SQL Server 2016 to 2025 from on-prem to Azure IaaS solution. Our current environment is on-prem with AlwaysOn Availability Group that uses a VNN Listener. We are looking to use the DNN listener now that we are going to be within Azure.Does Veeam support the DNN listener within Azure for IaaS AlwaysOn Availability Group?Also, within the connection string to use the DNN listener within the Availability Group, the connection parameter MultiSubnetFailover=True is mandatory.Where would we set this configuration parameter within the Veeam for this connection property?   Please advise.

I enrolled in a Veeam 13 subscription course, but the lab setup instructions appear to be based on a 2023 recording and an older ESXi licensing model. Because of that, the setup options shown in the course no longer work as presented, which makes it difficult or impossible to complete the home lab as expected. On top of that, I can clearly see the training is v12 = false advertising. The reason for the failure comes when I install VCSA. The error shows the license used in ESXi is invalid however I followed the instructions in the training and the instructor downloaded the same software as I. Conclusion is the material and training is old but sold as some new amazing thing. I contacted support by email, used the chatbot, and reviewed the help section, but I have still not received a response after 78 hours.My concern is not just the delay in support, but that this course is still being sold even though the lab guidance appears outdated. At minimum, this should be clearly disclosed befor

Has anyone ever seen the following with CDP proxies running Windows Server 2025? There seems to be a constant disconnect, we have no other connectivity issues between site and there is exclusions throughout our Crowdstrike instance.Veeam support have looked at the logs and highlighted the loss of connection, and to refer to our network team but there isn’t anything apparent that would cause an issue.Any help would be appriciated.Many thanks,LGH

After update to VBR 12.3.2 I am unable to login.The following error:The socket connection was aborted.

Hi everyone,I'm looking for real-world experiences from anyone who has successfully (or unsuccessfully) tested SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Groups using SureBackup with custom verification scripts.I tryed to use the predefined SQL script but it failed. My Setup:2-node Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) with SQL Server 2022 AlwaysOn AG configured with synchronous commit Veeam B&R 12.3.2 with Virtual Lab Goal: Validate SQL recoverability without triggering production cluster conflicHas anyone written a PowerShell/ that handles AG verification inside the Virtual Lab (accounting for possible quorum loss)?If you've done this (or tried and hit issues), I'd love to hear about your experience!
