Hello,I'm hitting a wall as we do not necessarily want to configure OS credentials for each and every single VM. Sure we can pre-deploy SSH keys, play with Tag to identify the Guest OS (different types of authentication between Windows/Linux) yadda yadda, but there must be a simpler way.I have tried with a Linux VM:1. installed deployment kit, we could just predeploy it everywhere automatically2. it listens on 6160 (installer service IIRC)3. When running a job using Guest OS credentials: "Use management agent" it doesn't even talk to 6160 but claims that it's falling back to trying to connect to guest since transport service is not availableWhy isn't it just installing it using installer service? Is it possible at all to use VBR in some kind of "agent" mode (while veeam optimally takes care of updating the agents as it sees fit)?Or do we have to use it in this shady ephemeral client "access-all and install whatever I like" mode?What is deployment kit then good for anyway?Thanks 

Dear Veeam Community,I hope you can enlighten me.We have the goal to setup endpoint backups without the use of a vpn.We installed veeam b&r & cloud gateway on a test server so far.Now whe thought we could like generate an agent for a tenant and then install that agent to endpoints of this tenant to be able to backup files of the endpoint via the cloud gateway direkcly into the configured tenant backup repository.At this point we’ve tried a lot and I doubt that this will work the way we intended.It seems like the cloud gateway is used to connect different vbr servers and save their backups in a service providers repositories. But that wouldnt solve the problem that the customer needs an own vbr and a vpn to have a connection between his endpoints and his vbr server in order to back the endpoints up to the service provider. (Endpoint → Tenants VBR Server → Cloud Gateway → Service Providers Repositories)Is there any chance to make it work like this:Agent on Endpoint → Cloud Gatewa

When I try to do this after specifying an output directory of /home/amonra I get:which doesn’t help lots.  What are you using /tmp when I explicitly gave an output directory where there’s loads of space.Now I guess I need to massively enlarge /tmp which is a problemD.

I just finished setting up our Veeam Enterprise Manager server and wanted to serve it as a website thats only accessible to our office WAN IPs. Does anyone know how one would accomplish this or if it is doable? I see the website in IIS and I do have a valid wildcard cert but support told me they could not help with design so I am unsure what the proper way to serve this webpage would be. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I am not able to replace my Veeam Backup and Replication certificate with a new .pfx. When I try to install the .pfx from the Options->Security->Install menu in the B&R Console it returns an error “Certificate’s Private Key is Empty”. I have verified I created the .pfx correctly using OpenSSL and combining the .cer with the .key. I have verified the .key is in fact a private key and not a public key. I have verified the .pfx key permissions have the appropriate read/write for the Veeam service account to access the key. The .pfx certificate is good with a valid private key. Why can’t it be installed on Veeam Backup and Replication. In order for me to upgrade Veeam B&R from version 12 to version 13 I require a certificate with the Basic Constraints extension. I now have a certificate with Basic Constraints as a .pfx but I cannot install it to Veeam B&R.

Ok guys, maybe I’m completely stupid.How do I upload a script file to /var/lib/veeam/scripts using console?I go to the Files tab and browse to the directory. I can edit, rename, delete files, create directories, but how do I simply upload a file!?ThanksLOL

The case product is Veeam Backup & Replication version 12.1.2.172We copied data from a main Veeam repository to a secondary offsite Veeam repository for backup copy job seeding.The previous server that held the copy jobs was replaced after it died. Copied backups are visible under Home > Backups > Disk (Imported) on repository Backup copy job Map Backup dialog shows only the repository node and no selectable imported backup chains beneath it.Regular backup job Storage > Map backup dialog shows the imported backup chains are selectable, We created the data using the Copy Backup button.We were not prompted for an encryption password during repository rescan. we imported the backups but its not showing on the list to map for backup copy.Is it because the Backup jobs and backup copy jobs use different chain formats and metadata, and a backup copy chain can be mapped only to a backup copy job, not to a regular backup job; conversely, a regular backup-job chain is not a valid se

Hello.I have three servers: one is EnterpriseManager, the second is VeeamBackup, and the third has the Veeam console installed. When I launch the Veeam console on the backup server, I get the error "failed to load license from backup services." I looked at the logs and see that the client versions match. I see that a connection attempt is being made, but the connection is being closed. I don't understand why. I tried TNC fqdn for the backup server - port 9392, as well as port 9396, and there were no errors..  I changed the names and IP addresses in the logs. I don't think they're needed for analysis.

Hi,I noticed that I have two running backup jobs since mid May and it appears they are stalled. From the same job I get success emails each day. It appears the backups job were running fine at the scheduled time. Kind of overlap.Maybe the stalled job are leftovers when I upgrade my VBR to 13. I’m not sure. I shutdown the server twice and the stalled jobs reappears. I can right click on it and press stop, but even after hours nothing happens.How can I get rid of the running instances? I enclose two screenshotsThanks,Edy

Hi community! I’m working on an architecture to implement VRO with a Clean Room. I ll be in this kind of topology :  I notice in the prerequisites, this point : “The current release of Veeam Recovery Orchestrator (v 13.0.1) requires at minimum an initial connection to the production vCenter to gather inventory and create restore plans using vSphere tags.Connection to the production VBR is optional and only required to create restore plans based on backup jobs.”The principle of a clean room is to have an environment that is completely decoupled from production, acting as a safe place to store and test backups, and as a trusted source for a clean recovery of workloads, even if the production environments are infected or compromised.Opening network flows to production, even temporarily, seems to go against that principle in my opinion, even if those flows are limited. In my architecture, I have a production vCenter and most likely a dedicated vCenter for the clean room, since standalone E

Hello Community, I'm experiencing an issue when trying to use VM Intelligence in Veeam version 13.0.2.29, both when deployed as a VSA Appliance and when installed on Windows.When accessing the feature, I receive the following error message:"Cannot verify the product license." both Backup servers are connect to the internet. What I find strange is that I am using a valid NFR Premium license with more than 300 days remaining before expiration.I have already verified that the license is correctly installed, and the issue occurs on both deployment types, which makes me think it could be related to a VM Intelligence licensing requirement, online license validation, or possibly a bug in version 13.0.2.29.Has anyone experienced this issue before or knows of any troubleshooting steps or solutions?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 

I was wondering if someone could help with an issue I’m having in Veeam agent for windows, I get the following error when trying to restore files from a volume backup stored on a network share.

NetApp ONTAP S3 with Immutability (ONTAP 9.14 and higher) is currently not (or no longer) supported by Veeam. This means that Veeam backups on a NetApp ONTAP S3 bucket with activated Object Lock (Immutability) are currently not considered “immutable” in the sense of Veeam functionality. The main reason is that ONTAP S3 with activated Object Lock no longer fulfills all the requirements that Veeam needs for immutability.  Veeam currently only lists ONTAP S3 as “not immutable” in its own compatibility directory. The use of Immutability is therefore not officially approved NetApp is working on a solution with the support of Veeam (you may be able to get information via the NetApp Partner Manager).  --> This is ONTAP S3 (on ONTAP machines (FAS/AFF), not a NetApp Storage GRID)! Links to this:NetApp ONTAP S3 with immutability - R&D ForumsNetApp ONTAP S3 

What is this type of issue ? Anyone, please explain.   

We’re evaluating replacing out Windows VBR-servers with VSA, and I have set up a pilot machine. We need AD authentication to work for this, and I have joined the VSA to our domain.The main issue we have is that authentication is extremely slow and even if I can get “connected” pretty quick when I log in from the VBR-console, it can then take several minutes just to get past the splash screen. Even once logged in, I can get kicked out with some authentication error and “too many retries”. Also adding the AD-group to the “Veeam Administrator” role took forever and several retries. My strong suspicion is that SSSD used for this, is doing forest-wide queries, and since we are a huge company with many domains and trusts this is what takes time and causes timeouts. We’ve worked around this in other self-managed linux systems by using ldap as provider instead of “ad”, and limiting scope with ldap_serarch_base and filters, but not sure this is an option here, and pretty sure it wouldn’t be sup

Instantly bucket size is increasing. What could be the issue? What is the best practice to follow here? My concern is GCP storage.

Dear Community, What could be the possible issue?  

We are no longer able to use the "Update All" function on our Veeam Hardened Repository, as it fails with an error related to the GPG key.To clarify, we do not have a Host Management Web UI or a Veeam Appliance deployment. Our environment consists of Veeam Backup & Replication with a Linux Hardened Repository only.Username veeamsvc  Cannot access log file directorytar -czf ~/veeamlog-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).tar.gz /var/log/VeeamBackup/tar: Removing leading `/' from member namestar: /var/log/VeeamBackup: Cannot open: Permission deniedtar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors  Could you please advise on how to resolve the GPG key error in this configuration?

Version 13.0.1I am backing up to LTO 4 tape drives.   I have one job that backs up drive M: and N: backups.   One backup I get this error on drive M: and the next time on drive N:.   5/31/2026 7:27:36 AM Warning : Failed to create a VSS snapshot for M: Details: Writer 'MSMQ Writer (MSMQ)' is failed at 'VSS_WS_FAILED_AT_PREPARE_BACKUP'. The writer's timeout expired between the Freeze and Thaw events. --tr:Failed to verify writers state. --tr:Failed to create VSS snapshot. --tr:Failed to perform pre-backup tasks. (0:00:15)I changed the VSS timeout to 20 minutesI ran chkdsk and analyze and optimize on both drives.  No errors.   Windows 10 does it weekly.   More than 50% available on both drives.   I have rebooted the tape server.   I restarted the services.   The jobs are not big.  M: is around 50GB.   N: is 350GB.   I never had this issue on 11A. Still get these errors.  

when adding minIO object storage  which is deployed on local server to vbr , it throws error of certificate reterival failed from minio..note:vbr is deployed using JeOS and is applinace based,minIO uses 2083 port for its api endpoint.do any one encounter this error and have wayout!

I'm experimenting with the VHR 2.0.09 ISO. It works perfectly for me. I'm using a virtual machine for VHR where I have two disks added, one for the OS and one for the repository. I'm trying to extend the repository. What would be the recommended steps to extend the disk, or is it not possible?

Hi everyone,just wanted to share something we hit recently after deploying Veeam B&R v13 in a Hyper-V environment.The issueAfter the upgrade, Application-Aware Processing stopped working.Symptoms:No Hyper-V production checkpoints Multiple VMs affected Happening across different customersWhat we checkedWe went through all the usual stuff:Firewall → OK Permissions → OK VSS → OK Integration services → OKEverything looked fine… but still no AAP.The causeAfter a long search, we found a post from mazvazzeg that pointed us in the right direction.Turns out it’s a wrong registry value for the Hyper-V VSS service (vmicvss).Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vmicvssWrong value in ImagePath: %systemroot%\system32\svchost.exe -k VeeamHvVssGroupstemNetworkRestrictedRedirectionGuard -pThis basically prevents the service from starting.The fixChange it to: %SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k VeeamHvVssGroup -pAfter that:Service starts correctly AAP works again Production ch
