Hello, I currently have an R740 with a NetApp E Series directly attached and am looking to use it as a hardened repo (rocky os). I am concerned that the 740 is near end of life, so wondering how difficult and what would the steps be if I was to replace the server with a new one in a year or two down the line? 

Hello everyone,I am currently configuring Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 (VBM365) for our company, and I have a question about the disk cache to optimise performance.According to the documentation, the standard installation does not allow the cache to be stored on another drive on the VBM365 server (it is located by default in the local PostgreSQL database on the C drive or on a dedicated PostgreSQL server). However, I would like to avoid deploying an additional PostgreSQL server for simplicity and maintenance reasons. My question:Does anybody use a dedicated cache disk on the VBM365 server? If so, how did you configure it (custom path, script, etc.)? Have you encountered any limitations or performance issues? I would appreciate your feedback or alternative solutions (without external PostgreSQL).Thank you in advance for your advice!Morgan

I’m getting the below error after upgrading Veeam servers from v12 to the latest release of v13. It’s a windows based install of Veeam, and it is connected to a (dedicated to Veeam only) AD domain.My user has local administrator permissions, Veeam Backup Administrator permissions, and MFA disabled for testing/troubleshooting purposes. The is happening across each of the Veeam v13 servers I have on the domain.It is only happening for mine and one other engineer’s user accounts, but other engineer’s accounts are not affected. We are all in the same AD groups so permissions are the same.I have tried removing Veeam Backup Administrator permissions from my account, rebooting, and re-adding, to no effect.Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions for what else to check? In the meantime I have a case open with Veeam support, and hoping they can come up with something.

We are currently using Amazon S3 Standard as the Capacity Tier and S3 Glacier as the Archive Tier for offsite backups in the AWS region.We are now looking to implement Capacity Tier replication to another AWS region.Backup configuration:Daily incremental backups and weekly synthetic full backups Backups are retained in the Capacity Tier for 15 days After 15 days, weekly backups are moved to the Archive Tier (Glacier)Please advise on the best approach to configure replication of backup data between AWS regions for capacity tier

Hi all, Sorry if this has been covered, I couldn’t find it in the search. I have a HyperV host and I want to use VAW to backup the D drive containing the HyperV VM files.  I have 2 USB disks I plan to rotate.  I’ve read the guides and I have registered both the USB disks as storage devices.  Last night it failed and I am suspecting it was due to the drive letter not being assigned when it got reconnected.  In theory, am I OK to simply leave one disk plugged in and VAW will do the backup to that disk, if there is a drive letter assigned?   Thanks.  

If we use forward forever incremental backup on the tape, can we disable the full backup schedule? 

Is it possible to disabled Web UI, without disabling Host Management UI? Our goal was to disable web ui because we’re not able to install a proper custom cert on it. So it would present an issue during our annual pen test

Hi Team, We are updating VBR from version 12.3.2.4165 to 12.3.2.4465 and we VAL and RMAN which are in version 6.3.2.1207 and 12.3.1.1139 My Question is after the VBR upgrade will RMAN and Linux agent backup works with existing version or do we need to update agents as well immediately 

I already have a ticket open on this, but while Im waiting does anyone have any suggestions on things to try. Unfortunately, to make things complicated this only started happening after we upgraded to V13 and also upgraded the firmware on our exagrids. We are using storage integrated backups with Pure. I have not updated the Storage Array plugin yet. I have rescanned everything I could possibly rescan and all backups still sit at 0%

I am trying to restore Ubuntu VM to Azure but never got any success. We had issue with ver 12.3 where it never create helper appliance for the region so we upgraded to ver 13. It now try to create helper appliance but never complete succesfully. When restore process starts, it creates helper appliance in Azure with status running but never get pass that stage. Internet access is restricted to outbound access to windows update, azure & Veeam.I even tried restoring the Azure environment where we have ipsec tunnel but not luck, still fail with same error.  

TLDR;set up a linux server as a veeam repository on a proxmox server for local VBR proxmox proxy target? I searched around the community for a bit, so if I missed a good post can you point me at it? We stood up a new site last year and I initially deployed Hyper-V server to run a DC and a file share server at the remote site/branch. Using Hyper-V and Veeam I was happily surprised that Veeam deploys a proxy to back up Hyper-V (mostly was using vmware).I had a local disk attached to the Hyper-V server which acted as a Veeam backup repository. This as a pretty awesome surprise how easily and fast the Veeam backups and restores happened on the Hyper-V server using a USB 3 external hard drive.So Veeam would run jobs to hopefully back up the Hyper-V servers locally and then I would run a disk copy job to pull those backups back to the main site periodically for just in case scenarios, and would also copy the disk copy jobs to a rotating offlin

Hey Veeamers – I just completed the Veeam Data Platform: Monitor, Manage, Analyze (Veeam ONE) training, and this release is packed with power! If you haven’t explored 12.3 yet, you're missing out.

Hello everyone,We are a cloud backup provider and I would like to clarify some doubts before migrating to version 13.We currently use version 12 in the latest available build and will soon migrate to version 13, however my question is:After the update, is it possible to restore the settings in the VSA?And will all Cloud Connect configurations be done in the VSA or in the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance?

How can I import information from a Nutanix platform into the Veeam calculator (https://www.veeam.com/calculators), given that the platform is only compatible with RVTools?I am working on a Nutanix AHV environment with around 660 virtual machines, and I need to perform a proper sizing for my infrastructure.  The Nutanix Collector XLSX file is not compatible with the RVTools format required.  

I was deploying Veeam Backup & Replication v13 in my lab and reviewing the Security & Compliance Analyzer when I noticed a new requirement that I hadn’t seen before: “Credential Guard should be enabled.” I also checked Product KB 4252, but this setting is referenced there but can’t enable it.Can anyone clarify where “Credential Guard” can be enabled for VBR, and whether there is any official documentation from Veeam that covers this requirement?  

I have a single VBR server, using a Data Domain as a repo, and it’s running on VMware. We are migrating from VMware to Nutanix AHV. We’ve already migrated a couple hundred VMs already, and now I’m getting down to needing to move the Veeam server.Doing the migration results in some downtime - the migration process requires that new NIC drivers, etc be installed on the VM. I can easily set the services to manual for that duration, and then restart them when it’s done. BUT … is that the best way to do this? I considered installing a new VBR server natively on Nutanix, and then (somehow) migrating all jobs, etc to it. But the problem is, I only have 1 repo, and I know that multiple VR servers shouldn’t share the same repo. Don’t wanna risk corrupting anything.Has anyone else done this? (migrate a VBR server from one hypervisor to another) If so, what did you do? What should I look out for. Any advice appreciated.
