Hi guys,We have to take backup from large number of virtual machines in our environments and sometimes backup jobs are still running during working hours. It has impact on virtual machines performance. Is there any way to define backup window for jobs and backup/replication jobs pause temporarily? Thanks

Hi, I’m running a backup job of fairly big VM (HDD1 = 1 TB and HDD2 = 3.9 TB) using VEEAM 11.0.1.1261.After Deduplication and compression, the backup size ends up around 2.4 TB.The backup storage is a NAS mounted using an NFS connection. In the console, I can check that it still has 3.2 TB left.It has been working fine until last week. Error message : 28/04/2023 16:12:33 :: Processing ubuntu Error: No space left on device.NFS status code: 28Cannot get count from WRITE3res.Failed to download disk 'EvaBuntu_2 - Copy.vhdx'.Shared memory connection was closed.Failed to upload disk. Skipped arguments: [shadowSpec>];Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}. Why is my backup job complaining that there is no more space left while I have 3.2 TB left on my repository?Any advice much appreciated :)

Hello guys!I’m considering to rebalance a large sobr with v12, any feedback from the field?How many times it tooks? What kind of performances we can expect? Limitations from tasks handle by the repo?I’m trying to estimate the duration in order to anticipate and communicate the current action in production :)Have a great monday!

Hello Everyone,Seeing the new Cloud City group spin up I wanted to ask if anyone would be interested in seeing a VCC/MSP type group that focuses more on those topics?  Please vote.Regards,Chris Childerhose 

Hello,I am experimenting with VBAR11 in a home lab. The backed-up data itself is not important.Boot into recovery mode via usb key. On the usb key is a .vbk file, no .vbm Use bare metal recovery option, veaam is not able to find the .vbk, if I manually select the .vbk, veeam complains about corrupted .vbm file.So it seems that recovery agent, must have a valid .vbm. but in a disaster recovery situation and the .vbm is corrupt, how do i restore?I do know that VBAR itself, can import .vbk without .vbm, so cannot recovery agent do that same?Second question, using the the recovery boot agent, how do i mount the .vbk?Thanks,Dave

Has anyone ever seen a backup job fail with the error “Full storage not found”? I have no orphaned restore points, repository is good...everything looks perfectly fine. The repository is accessible and I can see the vbms and vbk files in it. I can’t find an answer for this. Full error is below: 1/23/2023 2:50:08 PM :: Failed to pre-process the job Error: One or more errors occurred.  1/23/2023 2:50:10 PM :: Unable to apply retention policy: failed to delete backup files Error: Full storage not found  

Hi ,1. How many WAN accelerators are needed for 4PB of data with 500Mbps bandwidth ? I have gone through the best practices as well.Didnt got a clear understanding.2. Can we use WAN accelerators during backup and recovery 1DC or just for replication purpose ? Thanks.

Folks, I don’t want to sound like an old grumpy grand pa but.. Software is a mass noun so you don’t make a plural form out of it. I just bet and won $20 that there is no such thing as Softwares :) . Now that does not mean that language does not evolve over time, but so far that is still the case. https://www.grammarflex.com/posts/whats-the-plural-of-software

Hi,we have a customer with 15 different vCenters (each one is different environment)how many vCenters can we connect to one Veeam backup server ? didn’t find any KB on that.each one have it’s own proxy server for backup.

Hey Guys,Has anyone performed a patch update? Please tell what can go wrong after that?

Hi Folks, I am back into the wild and wonderful world of Veeam Service Provider Console after a brief sojourn. I wanted to see if there is a quick answer to this and if my old solution perhaps has a better one now.I have a VBR that is connected to the Service Provider and all backup copy jobs are working fine. In VSPC the company is smiling with a happy green Healthy! However, at the VBR level the when pressing the Management Agent icon it complains that is connecting, and can’t connect after rolling through all the gateways. I tried running through the SP properties again but no luck. Is it time to un-install the pesky agent and redeploy? The ClientAgent_error, Communication and ClientAgent logs have things like CloudGate “No such host is known” and “Endpoint Hanshake Failed” and The write operation failed, see inner exception. ---> System.TimeoutException: Could not finish read operation in timely manner.Now could this be that if they have running backups and have used up the Tena

HelloI’m trying to find a solution to a hypothetic scenario: tl;dr is it possible to change/swap the target repository of a Backup Job by the repository of the BackupCopy Job I have 2 datacenter, 1 VBR server, and 2 repository on each site, one for backup job target, and the other one for BackupCopy job targetevery job have a copy job associated with it, and there are a few dozens of jobs running every dayI want to plan the failure of the repository system and being able to continue to do backups, in the case where the issue is hardware or would need multiple days to repair I have no problem with restoring from the copy jobs, all the data is there as intended, but how to restart the service of “backups” during this failure?so is it possible to tell VBR to use the the existing backup copy chains to use as an existing repository (I can’t seem to be able to remap)or is that impossible and I would need a new repository, and so startiing new backup chain ? 

Hi, ive just setup Veeam - Backup and Replication v12 and im a little stuck on how to setup my backup scenario.What i would like to do is perform a daily weekday backup to NAS with a retention of 10 restore points (Mon to Fri, so 2 weeks) with an active full on saturday plus a full daily backup to Tape.The data is 2tb, and i use LTO6 tapes (2.4tb).The Nas job is setup, and works perfectly, but im struggling with the Tape part. The problem is that the source job, having 10 restore points (and 2 active fulls), becomes too big for the tapes but can easily fit the actual data being backed up. The active full plus the daily incremental should fit, but its the 2nd Active Full that makes it too big.Is there anywhere to set the job to backup only one chain, daily, as a full?I may be looking at this the wrong way round, and there is a probably a better solution to this, but my thinking was that the data should fit on one tape, so why not back that up, in full, daily. This would save using pools

I want to added multiple VCentres spread across trusted domains to one console ( 1 from each Domain)..  At first glance I should be able to add the the second Vcentre Server. Is this as straight forward as it appears?

If you want to restore a deleted Exchange mailbox (on-prem), you first have to create an empty mailbox within Exchange for the user. This has already been described earlier: https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/restore-deleted-mailbox-with-veeam-explorer-for-exchange-t16174.html Challenge is, while creating a new mailbox you also create a new ID for it. This leads to loosing some functionality (permissions to folders for 3rd parties etc., recurring appointments, etc.). Is there another known way to recover the mailbox including its original ID?I would rather have expected VEXE to create the mailbox for me while recovering - including all metadata.

Primary backup is configured with daily retention 14 days , synthetic on Sunday and GFS (Monthly - First,  Yearly- April) option and target to disk storage.Monthly - 1st of every month Yearly - 1st of April Now Backup to  Tape , above primary backups ,  incremental in incremental media pool , weekly synthetic  backups  to go in weekly media pool, monthly in monthly media pool, yearly in yearly media pool. like wise is this possible with GFS media pool configuration.

Hi,I have installed the testlicence of veeam o365 Version 7. Exporting single items from a mailbox works fine, but export the hole mailbox of a user ends up with: unable to read beyond of the end of the stream. How can I solve this?

Hey everyone, Has anyone ever seen Veeam throttling bandwidth with the RMAN plugin? I’m working with a really beefy Veeam environment at the moment. Source data is all on flash, 40GbE networking available, high performance RAID controller + 4x RAID 60 repositories in a SOBR. Backups are flying for most workloads, VMware, Agent, NAS etc, but RMAN is letting me down. For example, a Veeam Agent using an unoptimised network path via the firewall can still do over 200MBps (Firewall is the bottleneck here), but RMAN is doing 5-7MBps and it’s on an L2 network with no firewalls involved. Testing with iperf can get 6-8Gbps easily without tuning between the hosts and the backup repositories, one test with iperf between the backup repositories was giving 26Gbps, so the network really is moving quick.When I’m going through the Veeam logs I’m finding things like this: plugin_co| [8b43] >> : Invoke: Network.UpdateThrottling\n{ (EInt32) KbpsReadBandwidth = 0\n (EInt32) KbpsWriteBandwidth
