need to activate the SureBackup feature on Acropolis AHV from Nutanix.

 We need to analyze why the error message is appearing during the backup window. The alerts are being triggered due to the replication process between the T and O servers. Specifically, these alerts occur during the backup window of the T server, which runs from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM PST. During this period, replication from T to O is paused, resulting in theError 9036: "Paused for backup or restore."However, the alerts are only seen on alternate days, not consistently every day, which requires further investigation. T Server – File1 O Server – File2 Primary Concern:The question raised is why the production server experiences impact—such as replication delays or user access issues—during the backup window. While domain controller replication is standard across all servers, it appears only the file server is affected during its backup schedule.Currently, the file server is backed up using an Application-Aware Processing policy.Veeam’s Application-Aware Processing ensures backup consiste

Hi everyone,I encountered a strange behavior while migrating a customer this week and would like to share my experience and possibly get answers about the root cause. Scenario: Veeam Instant Recovery from Hyper-V to VMware Source: Hyper-V host (WS2019 Datacenter) and WS2019 Standard guest with 2 disks (OS=NTFS / DATA= ReFS)Destination: Esxi v8 (vSphere Enterprise plus)Backup Server: WS2022 standard with Veeam B&R Enterprise 12.1.2.172 What I did for many VMs with success and with a very short downtime :Backup source (running VM) to a local repository Stop source VM Backup (incremental) to the same repository Instant Recovery to vSphere Install VMware Tools Reboot VM Check if everything is working Migrate to productionBut on this WS2019 guest with a ReFS data volume, at step 4, just after the guest boot, the volume showed as RAW… I found this in the ReFS log on the guest :Event ID 7: "ReFS failed to mount the volume. Version 3.7 doesn't match expected value 3.4" After googling for a

Estou enfrentando este erro na execução de um backup via Applications Plug-ins.A mensagem apresentada pela console do veeam traz a seguinte informação:21/12/2023 19:35:22 :: hdbsql error: * 2: general error: Setting changes failed on remote side.

We had a firm that upgraded our veeam to v 11.In the same time, we replace the SAN.The original SAN that was used for backup was replaced by the new unit.The original SAN was then used for the copy, and the copy SAN not use anymore.It appear that we lost all 95% of restore point that we had before cause of a disk space problem that corrupt the file for most jobs in the server. Now we only have one month of restore point cause. we lost everything else. We think that it was cause of a bad way to upgrade, but the consulting firm continue to claim that it was the disk space problem that caused the loss of six-month  backup.is it possible that the disk space corrupt all the restore point and there is no way to recover the old backup or maybe from our old copy SAN that is still unused since the migration?Thanks for your help. 

Hi everyone, greetings…I am not sure the math behind for this settings I seen the default is Forwards Incrementals with Weekly FullsSo mean Mon-Sat incremental x6, Sun full x1Daily 30 which keeps 26 incremental, 4 fullMonthly 3 which keeps 3 fullYearly 3 which keeps 3 full For full I think it’s related to ReFS, but not sure how it become 9.92TBFor incremental backup I calculated as 30TB *5% *30days *50% = 22.5TB (somewhat different)Weekly 0 because GFS set 0Monthly 3 copies = (30 + 30.25 + 30.5) * 50% reduction = 45.375 TB if w/o ReFS (but I tested it is 39.24TB if w/o ReFS in sizer) - I tried it by index 30+30.24+30.48 *50% = 45.36TB also different Btw, what are the ReFS ~50% compression comes from? any docs for that? And lastly for yearly (30+33+36.3)*50% reduction = 49.65TB w/o ReFS (very close to calculator this time but not exactly) And why the ReFS does not significant in yearly ?Turning on /off does not affect the yearly sizing much If ReFS turned off 

Hi there in Virtual World :)Running Veeam 11 - We experienced a complete full “Files to Tape” backup when the daily Tape job ran for the first time after entering Daylight Saving Time (DST) last weekend.ALL files in our backup Disk repository (xx TB) - that means UNCHANGED Veeam backup files from the last 4 months - was all sent to Tape once again - taking several job-runtime days to finish - and filling up a lot of new Tapes, which we needed to supply into the Tape library.Have anybody else experienced similar issues?As far as I have read  - Veeam operates in the UCT format - which should not be sensitive due Server time changes or DST - except changes in the local job time schedule:Daylight savings time - Veeam R&D ForumsDaylight saving switch changes job start time - Veeam R&D Forums We didn`t have any other issues running the usual VM Machine jobs to disk.This issue has been raised to the Veeam Support - and it has been escalated to their RnD engineers.So hopefully they wil

Hello,I'm using Veeam 11 community edition.  I'm having trouble booting from the recovery media.  First of all the "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" is displayed in German.  When I do press a key the system hangs at a screen with the blue 4 pane window image, a MS Windows image.  I also noticed I don't get the option to include drivers when building the image. Please let me know if you have any ideas.Thank you,Frank 

Hello Again 😖We’re on Veeam 11.0.1.1261 P20220302. Only using the Backup and Replication portion. No VeeamOne etc.. Am curious if there’s a way to get a summary of what type of compression/deduplication ratios we’re seeing besides what’s on the email generated on job completion.I assume each job is going to be different. You’ll probably get better ratios on full backups than incremental.Do I need VeeamONE here to do this? 

Protecting your Veeam Data Platform Audit Logs is another way keep your security sensitive logs safe. Using NetApp ONTAP SnapLock Write One Read Many (WORM) technology can protect you from bad actors attempting to delete your audit logs. Please make sure the NetApp ONTAP controller has a SnapLock license. The first thing you have to do is create a NetApp FlexVol (volume). I logged into NetApp ONTAP System Manager and from the main menu navigated to “Storage=>Volumes=>+Add” to get to the volume screen below (Figure 1). I filled in the fields and clicked on “More Options”(Figure 2) to display more volume options. If you enable the SnapLock option for the first time, you will be instructed to “Initialize the SnapLock compliance clock” which is required (Figure 3). Click on  “Enable SnapLock” select type “Compliance” and whatever retention period is needed for your companies compliance standards for audit logs. **** Caution if you select 14 years you will not be able to delete conten

Veeam released a new Cumulative Patch for VBO365 5d.If you are a service provider and you are using VBO365 for doing backups of your customers to an object storage, please install the patch immediately. Without the patch, under specific conditions, there could be a data loss. You can find out more under the following kb article: https://www.veeam.com/kb4222

If I’m reading the docs correctly, Object Storages (Direct or SOBR) use one Task per backup chain.These backups create MANY files.  It looks like I can limit the maximum concurrent Tasks for an S3 compatible backup, essentially limiting the number of concurrent backups.I am, however, interested in increasing the speed of one very large backup.  I see many small objects are created.  At least in the case of SOBR, I assume that the data has already been deduped and compressed, and that and some sort of Task parallelism is happening during offloading.  Is this correct, and is there any way to increase the parallelism or number of Tasks used during SOBR offload and/or direct backup?

Hello y’all! I’d like to know what software or tools you often use to project and draw your Veeam environments.Do you use MS Visio, LucidChart or something else?

By default when you create an Azure Blob Storage repository inside of VEEAM you are only required to enter the Blob Storage account name and key.Somehow VEEAM knows how to connect to Azure Blob and I assume it then relates to the actual Blob Account’s URL  eg.  https://myblobaccount.blob.core.windows.net/We have multiple sites and have set up multiple Azure Blob accounts (1 for each site)We also have a distributed firewall system whereby each site has its own set of firewall rulesTo date we have been setting firewall allow rules to allow VEEAM to access AZURE Blob storage site-by-site meaning X sites == X firewall rulesWe are trying to move to a single wildcard-based rule which can be applied in a consistent manner to all edge firewalls however in our testing we were unable to get this to work.Using MS Azure Custom Domain for access blob data (see excerpt at bottom of this post) we created a cname like below:myblobaccount.myinternalstorage.mycompanydomain.com CNAME  myblobaccount.blob.

We have VBR BAAS, provisioned in VM, initially we sized  it with the server inventory provided. How can I know or what will be the basis if I need to add addtional cpu or ram in the veeam backup server?for example: addtional 10vms added in the job will add 2 cpu and 2gb ram?

Hello everybody!I would like to test performance on Linux repositories.The idea is to test read/write performance on disk, IOPS or something like that. I found the KB2014, but I would like to know if some of you have already do this before or if you have some tip or indication for this.  

We’re preparing to implement DRO in our org and I have a few best practices questions that maybe someone here could answer:Physical or VM? Is it possible to site DRO on the same server as Enterprise Manager? Should be at the DR site, right?I’m sure I’ll have more questions come up as I read through the official Veeam docs and start poking around at a test implementation. Thanks!

I try to use Veeam13 appliance version, and need help can/how i can mount the iscsi drive to the veeam13?

hi all,a crwod strike update causes a BSOD loop of Windows systems.CrowdStrike update causing blue screen error for systems running Microsoft Windows: report (local12.com) Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment     Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory     Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.    Boot the host normally. 

I’m in the market for new storage at 2 sites. I’m hoping to get some input from the community here if any of you have a lot of data, or fast storage. Requirements - You need to be able to hit a minimum of 2GB/s on your Veeam jobs to post your solution. I want you to detail your proxy, repo, and storage setup as well. (This is not a competition though) Currently I have 2 V7000’s. I can hit about 2.2GB/s sending data to 6 LTO8 drives. I am hitting about 6k IOPS but the latency starts to increase at this point.  I’ve been happy with this storage, (7200RPM disks) but it’s time to upgrade, and I am looking at a few options. Option 1) Exagrid at 2 sites. 10+ EX84 per site    - Does anyone here own Exagrid storage? What is your performance like, how about long term restores? The price is decent, I just have concerns about a large scale instant restore, synthetic operations, merges etc.  (Those are my current pain points with my current v7000s It’s fast untill I run too many at once) Option 2)

In my post about Hyper-V 2025, I went over what’s coming that’s new in Server 2025, and a few things about Hyper-V support with Veeam… I was curious, what additional Veeam feature do you think would be most exciting to see here? 

Long time listener, first time caller!I work for a company that maintains a laboratory for a US government agency. The agency as part of our requirements keep the servers air-gapped. Will this prevent us from transitioning to Veeam 13?

Hi ALL,I am running VBR11 and VBAz 4.0, recently all my AzureVM backup started failing. I still have over 3months of license validity.I can no longer connect to the VBA from my VBR console only can access from the browser.We are getting the following error; "Client secret has expired. Use a valid client secret or renew the application on the Service Account Type tab.This was done however the issue still persists.My Infra is still running older systems so upgrade was not an option hence no support available.Any thoughts?
