Hello.The question is related to adding S3-compatible object storage. Company-developed proprietary BLOB stores in ceph have their own implementation of the S3 surface. When adding S3, you can select a bucket, but when you select folders inside the bucket or when creating a new STORAGEClass error, the storage class uses erasure code.The question is what storageclass does veeam12 use?! since it worked on version veeam 10.How can I see through the logs which storageclass is trying to connect to the storage?  

Hi, everyone! I have a weird error popping up in a replication job for one of my client’s and I need some insight. We have a replication job with a number of VMs that are replicating to a local repository. For some reason, the job has started failing and saying the job can’t continue because the replica has been found in an inaccessible state. I’ll paste an example below. I have tried rescanning the repositories and rescanning the managed servers, but no luck. Retry of Replication job finished with Failed. Job details: Failed to create processing task for VM Error: Found replica VM *** with connection state inaccessible. Cannot proceed furtherFailed to create processing task for VM *** Error: Found replica VM *** with connection state inaccessible. Cannot proceed furtherProcessing *** Error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. Failed to write data to the file [\\.\***Drive].

Veeam to backup Openmediavault hostI try to backup with veeam my openmediavault host. It's installed barmetal.Downloaded and installed it with apt-get install veeam-nosnap. But if I try to backup my volume lvl, i get this error: Item nvme0n1 cannot be backed up without veeam snapshot kernel modul.Hiw I can get the modul?

Now I am learning some Backup & Recovery Solutions (from China). I list out the features comparison with Veeam for reference. Please let me know if I missed any core features for Veeam. Vinchin https://www.vinchin.com/Aishu https://www.aishu.cn/

Products:Veeam B&R Community Edition 12.3.1.1139 (Windows Server 2022) Windows Agent 6.3.1.1074 (Windows 11 Pro for Workstations, version 24H2)Using B&R Console I accidentally uninstalled CBT Driver from the Windows 11 PC, and now I cannot reinstall it anymore.The CBT driver is also missing from installed Windows apps and program list in the legacy Control panel.I tried to uninstall completely all components on that client, I removed it from my B&R Protection group, restarted it many times, but no avail.I also tried to install the standalone Agent, but the CBT driver install/uninstall option is missing from settings.Even command line method fails:Veeam.Agent.Configurator.exe -uninstallCBTDriverExitCode: 0Veeam.Agent.Configurator.exe -installCBTDriverExitCode: 20Errors:Failed to perform the operation.File existsThe only way I haven't tried yet is with command line by booting the PC from Veeam Recovery Media.In attachment: log file.Any ideas on how to solve?BTW, I’m wondering

Hello everyone, I have run into an issue that I can’t seem to figure out.  I have my system set up to backup on a daily basis but a backup has not run in the last 12 days.  The only change made 12 days ago was a reinstall of Slack on my laptop.  I have rebooted my system multiple times since that date along with performing an uninstall and reinstall of the agent.  I am including a screenshot of the Windows agent and my system uptime below.I am not sure why there would be a job still running at this point and could really use some help.  I am using Veeam B&R 11.5 CE and my laptop is running Windows 11 22H2.  I know that my version of Windows technically is not supported until B&R 12 with Windows agent version 6 but they have not been released yet.  I do know that the only thing that will not work with my version of Windows is the backup recovery media creation.  Everything else should work according to Dimitry Popov in the following post.Dimitry Popov's post  

Hi Everyone, I just created an immutable repository using Azure Blob storage and connected to it using a Veeam 12 B&R client on Windows.I was hoping to create a File Share job to send a small set of data to the immutable repository but this doesn’t seem to be an option as when I do a new file share job the immutable repository is not available to select.Have I maybe missed something when configuring my Blob or Repo or is this just not possible? Thanks. 

We are using Huawei storage for our VMware backup, but we noticed that Huawei storage is not supported any more: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/upgrade_vbr_byb.html?zoom_highlight=huawei&ver=120If we upgrage to V12, is there a way to backup our production vms built on Huawei storage with Snapshot ?

I am currently migrating my backup repository.Previously, I used a Linux Hardened Repository for primary backups, but I have now switched to an ExaGrid backup appliance. The primary backup to the new ExaGrid device has been successfully completed.Now, I want to reuse the backup data stored in the old Linux repository as a secondary target using the Backup CopyBefore: Primary (Linux Repository only)After: Primary (ExaGrid) --> Backup Copy --> Secondary (Linux Repository)However, when I try to select the existing Linux repository and use the "Map Backup" option in the Backup Copy job settings, it fails to recognize the existing backup data. I have already deleted the original backup job from the Linux repository, and the data is currently showing as Disk (Orphaned)The Veeam version is 12.3.2, and the backup source is a vSphere VM. My questions are:Is it impossible to reuse backup data created by a regular "Backup Job" for a "Backup Copy Job" via the Map Backup feature? Is there an

Good day, everyone,I am seeking assistance in identifying the best method for migrating to new hardware.Current Environment:DC-A to DC-B bi-directional Veeam replication Old HP servers running Veeam Old HP StoreOnce appliances used as Catalyst repositoriesNew Hardware:New HP servers and HPE StoreOnce appliances procuredRequirements:Build two sets of new Veeam/HPE StoreOnce environments at DC-A Migrate old DC-A Veeam/HPE StoreOnce to new DC-A Veeam/HPE StoreOnce Migrate old DC-B Veeam/HPE StoreOnce to new DC-B Veeam/HPE StoreOnce Establish bi-directional Veeam replication between the new environments Decommission old Veeam/HPE StoreOnce hardware once backup and restore jobs are validatedBased on my previous experience with Veeam/Data Domain migrations, I have outlined the following proposed migration strategy for HPE StoreOnce Catalyst repositories. I would appreciate your input to validate this approach:Use HPE StoreOnce native Catalyst copy replication to replicate both repositories f

Hello I am running into this issue; any idea what could  caused it  

Hi,I am running some tests on a demo installation of Veeam. I have set up a job with retention and immutability of 5 days. The full backup is done on Sunday and the incremental on Monday. on 3 August the chain immutability expired but on Sunday 4 August veeam did not remove the old chain (with expired retention and immutability verified by s3 browser) how come? 

Hi, I would like to know that can we directly restore from tape for VM backup with HPE Store as disk storage Thank you

Lets say a periodic legacy backup copy job “LEGACY” was configured to copy 3 source jobs: JOB-A, JOB-B, JOB-CDuring the creation of the new-format backup copy job named “NEW”, only source job JOB-A was initially included.  On the storage tab, target mapping was used to point to the “LEGACY” job.   This triggered a format upgrade for all items inside the LEGACY job, creating a new target named “NEW”.Now I want to edit the “NEW” job to add “JOB-B” as an additonal souce.Do I need to return to the storage-tab of the job and choose target mapping and select “LEGACY” again?What happens if I do?Will it recognise that this chain has already been converted and correctly target “NEW” instead?

Good day team,Is there a plugin solution for Postgresql running on ubuntu/linux desktoip edition(application level). Have some databases that i want to selectively backup and restore. I do not want to backup at the image/file level which is simple.I need something similar to the veeamsql plugin where i can configure the plugin, open the “backup database” app on a gui/desktop and view databases, run the backup on selected databases and the corresponding jobs pop up in veeam BR gui. Need to be able to Restore as well. Thanks guys

I have single backup job contains 5 VMs, one of VM let say VM3 have big size (around 10TB).It’s possible to move out the VM3 from existing job and create a separate job for this VM without doing the initial backup (by use existing backup chain on prev job)?

Orchestrator Error, Veeam One Monitoring Service cannot access its database.Initially got the error, “The embedded Veeam Backup and Replication server is not Healthy, state = Communication Error”.So digging more into the issue showed the error above. When I ran VeeamOne client, it said it cannot connect to the Veeam One server.I noticed at the top of the client it shows Community EditionThis is weird, why would it say Community Edition, if VRO is showing a valid license I ran the Veeam One setting utility and was able to connect successfully  I opened a ticket to Veeam support and we have been going back and forth for almost 2 weeks now and no results yet. Hoping you folks can give me ideas where to go next.

I started a file restore which is taking a long time to come back with the file explorer so in the mean time my veeam session times out. How do I get back to that restore session? If that makes sense.

Hello everyone.I have the following query, in version 12 I see that there is the possibility of adding a proxy in the "General-purpose backup proxy" option, according to the following in the description "(...) and off-host backups of physical server" I would understand that it is possible for a physical server with veeam agent to add a proxy backup.Why the question? I have a Windows Server 2019 server that serves as a file server and when I run the job, either incremental or full, it slows down access to shared files and users complain. That being said, this proxy would help me mitigate or reduce the impact or what good practice do you recommend?The repository is an smb folder inside a Qnap NAS.

Hi team:I have a question about the backup to tape:I have a job that backs up vm to tape which works, however when the tape is full, it asks for a new one to continue and continues without problems. The issue happens when doing a restore since it asks for 2 tapes and my unit has 1 tape. If I have only one drive, how can I make the job detect that the tape is almost full and request a new one? Regards,

We are working on to fix Security and Compliance Analyzer recommendations. We have run the script provided by Veeam. We are concerned about Item 28: "Hardened repositories should have the SSH server disabled." Since the Veeam Backup and Replication server connects to the Linux Hardened Repository via SSH, is it safe to have SSH disabled? Does Veeam Backup and Replication connect to the Hardened Repository over SSH on a port other than 22?

 We have migrated our Veeam server to a new VM but old VM keeps active, and the job is running on that VM. What is the process to decommission the old backup server? because all jobs are disabled but SOBR is still running. Should I just uninstall Veeam software if new VM is running all jobs?

Hello, I wanted to be sure that fast clone is enabled but I can’t see it anywhere.As I remember on v11 it was written in the “Action” description.I’m using Synology NAS connected directly via iSCSI to the Windows Server 2022.It’s formatted as ReFS (64KB).You can see that it was a Synthetic Full but FastClone nowhere to be seen.  

Hi Team,I've protected an Azure VM and now I want to restore only specific files and folders. However, the "Restore files and folders" option is grayed out and I am unable to click on it.For the VM protection policy, I selected both the snapshot and backup VM options.Can you advise on why the file restore option might be disabled and how I can proceed with restoring individual files and folders?
