HelloI am experiencing a behavior that seems unusual compared to my previous experiences. I have three Tape pools with different retention policies. When I try to move a tape from one of these pools to the 'Free' pool, I receive a notification stating that moving the tape will cause it to be formatted.Is this normal behavior? Additionally, how can I remove a tape from a pool without it being formatted?

Hi, can someone tell me how to troubleshoot this? I installed Veeam on Windows 11 Home and defined its configuration, then resolved issues it reported. When I ran the backup job it reported success but no backups were created. I followed the quick start guide for a simple setup using my Dell for all components and tried backing up my C:\ drive to another drive where I would copy backup files to an ssd to keep offline.

I am upgrading my Home Lab to new hardware.  Re: I can’t get the register email for mike.mckenney@scsiraidguru.comVeeam Server:  I upgraded the Veeam Server to Windows 10 22H2 from Windows 7.  I can’t install Windows 11 on this box.  I had to remove one of my three tape drives (SCSI) to go to 10.  I have two SAS tape drives.  Veeam is on 11A.   Veeam is working on all boxes except my HP Z480 below.HP Z840 Workstation:  I installed Windows 2022 Standard Server with Hyper-V.  It is in my workgroup, workgroup.  It is in the same network and subnet as my Veeam Server, Windows 11 workstaion and all VMs.  Windows Firewall is turned off.  It was on Windows 10.   Hyper-V is working.  I have 6 Minecraft Servers for our children and family to play on.   They are 8 and 10.   All Ubuntu 24.04 VMs.   Java, Bedrock and Folia.  They love to play with mods and plugins.   I can’t get to the Community Downloads for v12GA and latest v12.   I never get to email from Veeam to register mike.mckenney@scsirai

My home lab: Veeam 11 server is on Windows 10.  I have 6 Ubuntu VMs on my HP Z840 workstation with Windows 2022 Standard Hyper-V.    How do I backup each VM separate so I can recover them.   Both are in a workgroup.    Veeam won’t recognize the 2022 Standard as a Hyper-V server.   Veeam 11 can see it as a 2022 Standard Server.   Do I need to install a Hyper-V agent or Windows Server agent on this box?     

Looking for in-person Veeam VBR or Veeam ONE training in Canada. I know there are plenty of virtual options, but I’m a bit 'old school' and prefer a traditional classroom setting. Is it still possible to attend these courses in person in Canada or the US?Thanks for your tips!!

Lyrical IntroductionI can't believe my eyes. A product as powerful as Veeam Backup & Replication can't do simple things? Or maybe there are problems with my instance specifically? Or am I just a dumb instance?What I have.2 companies and 1 Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3.0.4165 serverWe run 70 backup jobs for these companies, without any overlapping time.1. Company 1 – 30 VMware VMs (1 job = 1 VM) – timeframe 12. Company 2 – 40 Proxmox VMs (1 job = 1 VM) – timeframe 2We also run Health Check jobs, timeframes 3 and 4, also without any overlapping time.What do I need?At a minimum, I want toreceive two emails, one containing a summary report of all backup jobs for the day, and the other containing a summary report of all health checks.MaximumI want to receive 5 emails1. 1 summary report on completed Company1 backup jobs to 2 email addresses – company1user@domain.net and admin@domain.net2. 1 summary report on completed Company2 backup jobs to 2 email addresses – company2user@domain.

Copy job VM is failing with error server_flat.vmdk either was not backed up successfully or restore chain is corrupted. Failed to download disk server_flat.vmdk The copy job repo is immutable based and cannot delete the single VM from disk ( copy ) so that sync now option can run.The retention set is 30 days and forever incremental is enabled. The VM size is huge and trigerring active full in source backup job will make the old .vbk + .vib to delete only when new .vbk + .vib attains 30 days consuming space in local repo ( non-immutable )Is changing the repo for source backup a feasible option ( would make existing backups to move to new repo ) and then trigger an active full only for the affected VM ?What are the other options available ?

I am looking for Veeam powershell script to list jobname, server, status and last run for last 24 hours . this should include backup and copy jobs. Kindly assist.

Hello everyone,I have a question regarding MFA in Veeam Host Management.During the initial installation, I enabled MFA on the default veeamadmin account. However, my goal is to use veeamadmin only as a break-glass account and instead create separate admin accounts with MFA enabled.The issue I’m facing is the following:When I enable MFA on another admin account, either:the verification code is sent to the veeamadmin account, or the MFA validation fails completely.This prevents me from properly configuring MFA for individual admin users.Has anyone encountered this behavior?Is there a recommended way to configure MFA for multiple admin accounts while keeping veeamadmin as a fallback account?Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,Over the past week, the checkpoint removal process has been completing with warnings. I receive notifications 2–3 times, and then it returns to normal and completes successfully without warnings.However, for the past 4 days, I’ve been receiving the same warnings again. I’ve checked everything, and everything seems normal. When I review the statistics, there’s no clear reason for these warnings.Could someone help me understand what might be causing this issue?Thank you in advance.
