There is an option for cross hypervisors VM creation in instant recovery, what would be the performance (any impact on the performance?), compatibility issues, and what would be the required tools (if any)?

Hello guys,Having a problem with one of our Repo.I upgraded the VBR from v12.0 to v12.3.2 before I upgrade it to v13 since it’s required.After that I have problem with this repo. How to check which account VBR is using when trying to do the upgrade and is there a way of manually upgrading the repos?Thank you.

Hi Everybody,a Customer of mine posted the following in R&D forum because we have some issues with his M365 Backup. They have a Case open since May adressing this issue but there is only litte to none progress. I thought that maybe anybody here might had a similar issue in the past and maby even a solution or workaround:We’re currently facing a critical issue involving both Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR), and we’re hoping to hear from others who may have encountered something similar.Background: After restoring Office files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) — whether from Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 or via VBR from local backups — the files can no longer be opened. They appear to be corrupted, even though they were fully functional in their original state on SharePoint or in the file system. Restoring to different SharePoint sites or local paths didn’t help. One notable detail: the restored files are smaller in size t

Hi everyone,We’re running Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3.2.3617 Community Edition and during the Backup Copy job that copies to a USB drive the “Backup Copy USB.vbm” is not saving backup meta.Error message:Failed to save backup meta to [\\ServerName|usb|Backup Copy USB|Backup Copy USB.vbm] Error: Failed to call RPC function 'FcRenameFile': An unexpected network error occurred. Failed to rename file from [\\ServerName\usb\Backup Copy USB\Backup Copy USB.vbm_13_tmp] to [\\ServerName\usb\Backup Copy USB\Backup Copy USB.vbm].I went through several troubleshooting steps in Veeam Backup to try to fix the recurring error with the VBM file.Troubleshooting steps taken were firstly to disable Indexing on the USB external hard drive.I also forced Veeam to rebuild the .VBM file on the external USB hard drive.I copied existing VBM file, deleted it off USB hard drive, then resynced the Disk (Copy) to USB backup

Not sure if many are aware but I found this out today with my VHRs deployed from the JeOS ISO that the WebUI on port 10443 is disabled by default so you cannot connect to it.  You need to log in via a console (if a VM) and enable it to connect.  You will see a banner at the top about disabling once you are done which is just a click.Learning something new each day with v13. 😎

Hi everyone,I was in Prague a few weeks ago and I had a question to ask, but I ended up forgetting to ask it, a question that keeps coming to my mind.The question is this: what does Veeam mean? Now I've figured it out, but I want to launch this poll and here are four options, which one is correct? Let's have some fun and vote. :-)I've asked several people who deal with Veeam and they don't know.

I was going over my feed today and stumbled upon a bunch of folks talking about how Minio is now in maintenance mode: https://charts.min.io/Minio was the first S3 and I used with Veeam way back in 2019 and also used it a lot for Kubernetes. Sad to see it go but this seems to be a trend I guess.I think the lesson for everyone is make sure that there is competition and alternatives. If there are not then expect unpleasant surprises.   

Why Redhat 8.6 is supported and Rocky Linux 8.6 no?

Hi Community, For those using the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) appliance integrated with Veeam to protect workloads such as VMware VMs, agent based backups, and native GCP backups, I have a question about performance tuning.My VBR server has 32 vCPUs and 64 GB RAM, and it acts as the Gateway Server for a Google Cloud Storage bucket. What is the best practice for setting the number of concurrent tasks for this configuration to achieve optimal performance without overloading the system?  

 Hi everyone,I wanted to raise a question regarding the upgrade process for Veeam Backup for AWS.From my understanding, performing major version upgrades currently requires installing the on-prem Veeam Backup & Replication  — even if only the trial version — just to run the upgrade wizard.This feels counter-intuitive and unnecessary for several reasons: Veeam Backup for AWS is a cloud-native solution, often used in environments that don’t run any on-prem VBR infrastructure. Requiring an on-prem installation introduces extra operational overhead: Deploying a Windows VM Installing and updating VBR Managing firewall rules and connectivity For customers who deliberately chose a fully cloud-based architecture, installing an on-prem VBR instance

Hello guys,I’m planning to do the upgrade to v13.Is there any recommended way of doing it, documentation that I can follow?Thank you in advance.

Hi teamPlease excuse my ignorance as I have not done this before and would like your advise.Current VEEAM implementation has AHV proxy configured to back up the environment.A new AHV clusters will be added. My initial uneducated thought assumed to re-use the existing proxy but I think that is actually not possible now. It seems the proxy configuration cannot be altered so I think it leaves me with no choice to create new one. No biggie.Also, I noticed that there is an embedded worker for the cluster configured in the proxy.In general, Would you suggest adding more workers to the new cluster? There are 3 nodesCheers

Hi,  We currently have VBR 12.3.1 Windows installed with VHR 2.0. When I ugrpade the VBR server to V13, do I immediately have to upgrade VHR too or can I do that a few days later?ThanksEdy  

I hope you can help me with the following problem. When I perform a sure backup (Backup verification mode: Backup content verification  and content scan only), I get the following message in the log: Error: Failed to call RPC function 'FcCheckFilesystemIsAccessible': The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drives are loaded and that the volume is still corrupted. The email notification I receive indicates that the verification was successful. My question is why I'm getting this warning and how can I resolve it? Here are some specifications of our server: Veeam Backup & Replication Build 12.3.2.4156 Backup server runs on a Hyper-v  Hyper-v: Windows Server 2025 24H2 Build 26100.7171Bare metal: Windows Server 2022 21H2 Build 20348.4405 Hopefully you can help me with this.

Hi,A newbie here with using Veeam for Oracle RMAN backups.I am trying to understand/visualize whether the RMAN retention and Veeam Immutability are independent of each other or are they related in some way.We run our backups on the Oracle DB server using shell scripts and cron and using a RMAN catalog.We have set  CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 35 days.We do RMAN delete obsolete as well.The Veeam Immutability is 7 days.Does Veeam delete the backup files if they are 7 days old or does it delete the files if RMAN fails to delete them after 35 days? Or does Veeam do nothing unless we uses the force-delete?Kinda hoping someone has a presentation of some sort to show how this works. Have read thru the documentation and can’t find any that explains this. Or maybe it is explained more clearly/visually in any Veeam documentation and I just can’t find it.Any reply will be much appreciated. Thanks in advice.

I’m unable to run any backups on Veeam Agent for Windows (6.3.1.1074, free edition). While my setup was working previously, I now get the error “Failed to create VSS snapshot” when attempting to run a backup.My destination is an SMB share on a local Debian host. Other devices on my network (In identical configurations, “Entire Computer” and encrypted backups) are able to back up to that share successfully, it’s just this one machine that’s failing.I’ve tried the usual suspects: Restarting the machine, removing/re-adding the backup job. I also tried the steps outlined in this post:Opened an Command Prompt (Run as Administrator)Ran the following commands:net stop vss net start vssYou can also restart these se

Hi,I’m trying to configure HA on my Veeam Backup Server. Has anyone seen this or ran into a similar issue? I can ping both servers from IP and FQDN. Both have DNS entries. I ran through the pre-requisites of allowing HA to be configured from the Host Management, Now, I’m at a loss ..any ideas?

Hi there,I’m currently in an greenfield V13.0.1 deployment, based on the Appliance.After enabling Remote Access in the Host Management Console of the VBR system - it’s mentioned, that this will be enabled after Security Officers approval and for 8 hours… We did this yesterday. This morning, 12-14 hours later, it was still enabled.  Unfortunately I didn't checked, if it’s only a visible bug or if the service / or Port 22 is really still open. I will check this tomorrow and give another feedback. If this is the case, I will open a support ticket for it.Have anyone seen the same behaviour? Thanks and best, Markus

hello Hi, can you help me please? I have a problem with a SureBackup job in Veeam version 12.3.2.4165. When creating a script, I entered an invalid character, and Veeam let it through, but I can't delete, modify, or disable the job. I've already entered several scripts via PowerShell, but it won't delete the job. Any ideas on how I can delete it?
