In the blog post below it states the sources that support the backup of Direct to Object but do all of these also support the restore of the data Direct from Object without having to go through a Gateway server or Proxy?  Specifically when S3-compatible storage is being utilised.Virtual machines backup (VMware,HyperV,AHV...) NAS backup Backup copy SQL, Oracle Configuration backup Veeam agent

Hi Veeam Community!We are looking to migrate our backups from a standard repository to an SOBR in order to utilise Wasabi storage for capacity tier. We current have backups jobs storing to local storage repository with 30 day retention, with copy jobs to a another backup repository at one of our other sites for offsite/archival backup purposes. Local repository is around 30TB and ‘offsite/archive’ repository is around 100TB. Ideally we would like to move the primary repository to performance tier of an SOBR and remote repository to capacity tier. Is this a supported migration, or will the backup copy job part cause us issues? Ideally we would prefer not to have to create new jobs, and maintain backup history. We are running B&R V12. Any insight or tips on how to achieve the above would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!Cameron

Hello guys,A quick question about the upgrade process for a periodic backup copy job.I have a backup copy job to a NAS repository with Per-Vm option set. To upgrade the chain I have to create a new job and map the backup, during mapping Veeam will synthesize full backup from the current backup and build a per-vm chains for every object.In the case where the repository it’s not a ReFS/XFS partition, Veeam will recreate a Full Backup and I must have enough space on the disk partition right?

For a hardware server (no vmware) I use the Agent for Windows and backup to a local NAS. I added a cloud backup job to Wasabi which works but I noticed it disabled the schedule to the local NAS. I turned it back on and made sure the times do not overlap. Is that the only way to have a local and cloud copy with the Agent, two separate jobs? I like local for speed when restoring, cloud is only in case of disaster...

We are looking to install Enterprise Manager and was wondering where the best place was to install it.  We have one VBR server with less than 100 instances to backup.  I have a Server setup for Orchestrator, can I put it on the same Server, or should I stand up a new separate one?

Hi,is it possible to use immutable repository like this repository from local disks RAID-5 on a physical windows 2019 server that have Veeam V12 installedand a Linux ubuntu 22.04 64bit on as virtual machine. thanks

i would like to know that, can we make multiple veeam servers with one backup repository only.scenario :I have 3 data centers with installed veeam server on each site and i want to backup all of my workload such as VM and physical server in data centers to DR directly without putting any backup repository on data centers

Hi,Will I need to do full backup again when I change encryption password?

I want to backup two Linux Systems.And i get this error on both systems:Unable to perform guest file system indexing: Failed to establish a network connection to the host. 

Hi Folks, Someone told me that they tested Rocky Linux versus Ubuntu (most likely 20.04) acting as a Veeam repository and there were significant performance differences between them with Rocky linux seriously outperforming Ubuntu. I don’t have any other details like (test environment, amount of data etc etc) but I personally find this hard to believe but wanted to know what everyone else thought. First off Rocky Linux is a spin off Redhat base distro that was created or gained much more popularity with the demise of Centos. I see Veeam themselves are always using examples with Ubuntu so that must mean something 😃.I am not getting involved in the old Distro wars of years past, i.e. (Debian vs Slackware vs Redhat) etc just want to know people’s genuine thoughts and experience. 

Hi everyone,I want to share a little story with all of you, and also invite you to share yours!! I picked up my Alfred at VeeamOn 2023 in Miami, knowing that he will belong to my daughter.Sha fall in love since the instant moment she saw him (bye bye Mikey 🐭 )Now she always carry him around the house , an if allowed, goes with her to some activities out.For her is her new baby, and as a baby….yes! Dippers!!!🤣🤣🤣Im still laughing every time I remember the situation!!Please share your Alfred’s experiences and funny moments!cheers!

i need to know if there a supported veeam migration tool to migrate all vms from old server to new server

Hey all. I haven’t yet pulled the plug as far as deploying ReFS on any of my Repos. Main reason initially was due to lack of stability I saw quite often in its early days. Other reason is I didn’t want to go through the hassle of creating a new Repo, then spending days migrating data here/there/everywhere. My NTFS has worked and done pretty well. The only fast clone storage I have implemented currently is with my Hardened Repo. Have had no issues there, but then again..XFS is a pretty mature FS 😊 .Anyway, I just want to ping the Community yet again to hear of any ‘gotchas’ which may be out there which may lead me to being *against* implementing ReFS in my Veeam environment. I’m on the verge of getting some shiney new Nimble arrays in for my backup storage, so when I get it connected, it would be a prime opportunity for me to implement ReFS if it is indeed now stable. I think my only concern maybe with doing restores, and rehydration of data? Do restores take a bit longer to do? Any in

I’m new on using veeam and data domainbase on this article https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/dell_dd.html?ver=120if i want to make data domain as backup repository, I need to deploy a gateway server in backup infrastructure to make communication between backup proxy with dell data domainis there any other way to do backup with veeam and dell data domain without deploying a gateway server in my backup infrastructure ?

Hello!I have the question about VM restoration from just *.vbk file stored in the USB stick.Let say I did the Server 1 Hyper-V VM backup and it is stored in the Server 1 Veeam registered repository. Then I copy these two files on to USB flash and go to another remote location with Server 2 Hyper-V and plugin this flash into USB port.I did not find the answer on this problem anywhere, cause it is not just copied files, it is the full bootable backup. My impression is that VM could be restored only from the repository, not from any folder or even any shared folder. But even if I copy my files from USB to Server 2 Veeam registered repository nothing happens because probably Veeam sees only backups associated with processed jobs. Sorry if I am not clear, but it is really hard to explain. I worked before with Acronis, now moved to Veeam as  a much better product, but many things are unclear. Thanks!

I would like to ask about the term of veeam license, if i consider having 2 console, one in site A and one insite B with vm around 10 in each site, so it means that i have to buy 2 bundles of veeam licenses.Then the question is, if i were buying 2 bundle, will i get only 1 license file  or 2 license files ? 

Hi i need to configure lan free backup using Veeam v12. can you one help me on this?

Hi Folks, I am being jettisoned back into the tape world, “tape is dead, long live tape”. I was wondering if anyone had tried in their lab mhVTL? https://www.mhvtl.com/ I normally use Quadstor but wanted to know if you anyone had experience with the one above. Thanks  

I’m going to preface this by saying, please please please, never try this in a production environment!!! But yes, it is technically possible to run Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam Agent for Windows, Veeam Agent for Linux, and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 on a PlayStation 4 (PS4). ‘How?’ and ‘why?’ are the logical questions to ask at this point, so let’s take a quick look. The PS4 has been ‘jailbroken’ for some time, to the point that you can run Linux distributions on it, just like you used to be able to officially within the Playstation 3 era, for a while anyway before Sony removed the feature. A developer called Noob404 has released a PS4 port of Proxmox, the well known hypervisor platform, and has managed to successfully get Windows 10 to run on their PS4.As Windows 10 is a supported OS for many Veeam products, this does unintentionally enable their ability to run on a PS4! Based on AMD’s infamous FX series of CPUs & APUs, the PS4 has dual quad-core modules, allowing for
