Hello everyone,I would like to get some advice regarding the optimal Veeam architecture for a two-site environment.Infrastructure Hyper-V environment Two locations: Vienna Novi Sad Sites connected with 1 Gbps IPSec tunnel Repository available in both locations Current components: Backup Server Hyper-V hosts acting as on-host proxies Repository Vienna Repository Novi Sad Current designRight now the backup jobs run like this:VMs from both locations → backup to Vienna repositoryThen we run Backup Copy jobs from:Vienna Repository → Novi Sad RepositoryThis means that VMs located in Novi Sad follow this path:Novi Sad VM → Vienna Repo → Backup Copy → Novi Sad RepoSo effectively the data crosses the WAN twice.ExampleVM located in Novi Sad: Backup goes NS → Vienna Backup Copy goes Vienna → NS ObservationDuring the first full backup we see relatively low throughput (~7 MB/s) and Veeam reports Network bottleneck.This is expected since the traffic goes through an IPSec tunne

Hello,I have to configure S3 Wasabi for the first time and I would like to be sure about the configuration.I will use it as backup copy repository with immutability.1) I create the bucket on Wasabi with versionning + object lock enabled2) I create a policy on Wasabi based on https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... positoriesI need the policy "Immutability Enabled and Helper Appliance Configured Beforehand" right ?How could I limit the policy only to the bucket "backupbucket" ? Because if I understand correctly, the policy in Veeam documentation has permission on all buckets.3) I create a new user and assign the policy4) I create the repository to veeam and set the desired immutability.I think I need some help on part 2 to be sure the user can only write to the "backupbucket".Thanks for your help

Trying to get Veeam Agent for Windows to run, installs without error using:VeeamAgentWindows_13.0.1.1009.exeI get the following error when trying to run anything…Could not load file or assembly 'System.Diagnostics.EventLog, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'.

Hi,Do we need to open ports manually on every vm acting as backup proxy,gateway server,mount server vm for dell dd(backup repository) and vbr server when these vms are in vcenter added in vbr infrastruxture along with other vms who will be backed up.customer has fortinet firewall installed in their environment.they have to use dell dd for backup jobs and tape for archiving.

Hello,Using Veeam 365 community edition, backing up our Sharepoint site always end with warnings of: Processing site: https://**********.**** completed with warning: Failed to backup item version: /********/********/********/.****, version: 2.0, Download timeout exceeded (last error: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host..). All retry attempts failed. Re-run the backup job to proceed. Total count of failed items: 17The file it stops on changes each time and the number of files, still backs up most data but it is never fully successful. We have 20 backup applications, the backup is running and downloading data but it’s average processing rate is only around 500kbpsAnyone else seen this, what other logs to check in Veeam or Office 365 or a fix? Running version 8.3.0.2201 P20251212 

Running Veeam agent for Linux, v. 6.3.2.1207_x86_64. OS is Mint MATE 22.  Been making weekly backups for a year or more, just now trying a test recovery on spare computer- loaded some files, ran b/u to ext. drive, deleted files.  Have Recovery Media on stick, using steps in user guide.  All good thru several menus until “Mount Local Disc” which brings up a menu “Select Local Disc” but there are no items from which to select.  Backup drive lights up, so recognized by system.  What am I missing?  

As we know VMCE will be retired and VMCA was retired, so anyone know what the new certication path now?

Hi teamCan someone shed some light on this and how best to go about it.We have Nutanix cluster A and Nutanix cluster B.VM have been moved from cluster A with Nutanix Move, which creates a new VM on cluster B and syncs data. My guess is that it creates a new UUIDThere is an existing backup to a Wasabi Repo from cluster A.How can I re-create/re-point the backups that are on the repo so that the copied VM on cluster B can continue to use the backups already there?I am not so sure if there is a remap function for this. I also cannot add vm from the new cluster to the existing job as it only allows me to select existing one. It appears that you select cluster first when creating the job.My guess is I may have to create a new job and let old one age out?

I have company policy to not use port 80 and i can see Veeam GatewayAPI was listen on port 80.Can we change this port?  

Hello everyone,We have some old tape backups in the VBR software under “Backups”.We would like to delete them (or at least remove them from the view) but I can't find an option to do this.This backup was on old tapes and this tapes are no longer available.Can you help me further? Otherwise I ll open a support ticket.Thanks.

A number of clients have recently approached me for guidance on including Veeam in their tender specifications. Below is a summary of the key competitive advantages of the Veeam Data Platform to highlight in tender submissions. I hope you find this information useful. Supported Source Data PlatformsVMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Proxmox VE – Supports agentless backup, enabling data backup without deploying proxy software on virtual machines or hosts. Databases – Supports backup for databases such as MSSQL, MySQL, and others. NAS – Supports NAS backup and recovery with: Complete and permanent incremental backup Data deduplication (including deduplication rate) Browse-based recovery Remote replication Microsoft 365 (Email) – Supports backup for Microsoft 365 email data.Security & Compliance FeaturesSupport immutable storage to prevent virus tampering and deletion of stored data. The Root/Administrator account cannot access, browse, or delete the RAID, LVM, file system, or disk wh

My SubscriptionsHi everyone, what is the difference between Veeam Data Platform and Veeam Data Platform Advanced?I plan to upgrade our VBR server to v12 from v11. It does have Veeam ONE on it. Orchestrator is on its own server. I assume I want the Veeam Backup & Replication ISO and Veeam ONE ISO. However, I’m wondering what am I missing out if I don’t get the “Advanced” ISO. Thanks!

I need to back up my Windows without using the cloud. I mean that the backup should be stored on my own laptop, not in the cloud. When I downloaded Veeam One, its size was about 3.5 GB, which is quite large.

Hi All,I would like to share a scenario i encountered related to the Veeam SQL Plugin communication port and gather feedback from the community.By default, the Veeam SQL Plugin uses port 6791 for communication. In one of our customer environments, this port was already in use by another component (Elastic Agent), which caused a port conflict. As a workaround, we were able to change the SQL Plugin communication port by creating a custom configuration XML file.Workaround ImplementedWe created the following XML file:File name:veeam_common_config.xmlLocation:C:\Program Files\Veeam\Plugins\Microsoft SQLContent of the XML file:XML<Config><PluginParameters minPluginManagerPort="6792"></PluginParameters></Config>Show more linesThis allowed us to move the SQL Plugin communication to a different port (in this case 6792) and avoid the conflict with the Elastic Agent already using port 6791.Discussion Points / QuestionsAre there any known limitations or upgrade consideratio

Enterprise Manager Self-Service Portal - Server Error. I remember being able to fix this before but can’t remember the particulars. I had to go to IIS, I think application pools.   

Hello guys,Have the following error regarding SureBackup Jobs: Ping is being skipped:  Dedicated physical Hyper-V standalone server in use for only SureBackup tests.Production network is where the actual Hyper-V server is in (aka Production Network), and isolated network is newly created. Can’t find any much informations regarding those problems.

Hi all,I have recently built a new Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server (v8.3.0.2201 P20251212) and attached existing Azure Blob storage from a previous server which contains backup data I need to restore from.The issue is the Microsoft 365 tenant was previously named [OLD-TENANT-NAME].onmicrosoft.com and has since been renamed to [NEW-TENANT-NAME].onmicrosoft.com. Both entries share the same Office ID ([OFFICE-ID]) which is causing a duplicate conflict and preventing me from accessing the existing restore points.The error we are seeing is:A duplicate organization Office ID was found in the repository (Office ID: [OFFICE-ID])The old tenant no longer exists in Microsoft 365 as it was renamed. The backup data in the blob storage is tied to the old org entry and we need to remap it to the current tenant so we can perform restores.What we have already tried:Removed the old organisation entry from the Veeam console - did not resolve the conflict Removed and re-added the Azure Blob reposito

We have replaced are our physical servers and are decommissioning the old servers.  I have two servers that were setup and functioning as proxies in Veeam.  When i go to remove the server, i get a message saying the server can’t be removed because it is still associated with backups.  The backups it indicates are blocking are no longer jobs and the only references to those names i can find are in the Orphaned and Exported Disks section, but there is no option in there showing an association to a server or a way to change anything.I have opened a case with support (02943295) and so far they are suggesting that we will need to manually edit the database records to remove this association.I am curious if any one else has had to manually modify database records just to remove old servers from Veeam Backup and Replication?  This does not seem to make sense and is likely just masking the real issue.

I have been validating MongoDB full instance restore using Veeam Explorer for MongoDB (VBR v13) and would like to raise a discussion related to file ownership and permissions after restoring.Observed BehaviorWhen restoring a full MongoDB instance to a Linux server, the restored MongoDB data files are owned by the OS user used during the restore process (restore authentication user).As a result:MongoDB service fails to start under the original mongod service account, or The node cannot be cleanly added back to an existing MongoDB replica set Manual post‑restore steps are required (chown / chmod) to revert ownership to the original MongoDB service userThis aligns with current permission requirements documented for MongoDB restore operations, where the restore user must have root privileges on the target system. [helpcenter.veeam.com]Challenge / RiskFrom an operational and security perspective, this introduces several challenges:Requires manual intervention after every full instance resto

I would like to consult your suggestions and recommendations for my case. Please refer to the Veeam infrastructure diagram below. There are two Linux Hardened Repositories in the environment. The customer needs to upgrade the operating system from RHEL 9.7 to a supported version, as RHEL 9.7 will reach end of support soon. ConstraintsThe hardware for the Linux Hardened Repositories was purchased in 2023, and the customer intends to continue using it. The license subscription of RHEL will expire in December 2026. The customer is planning to upgrade to Veeam v13. 

Hello, I have a cluster on my Veeam v13 software appliance I’m looking to configure with CDP, however when i go to install the I/O filter the cluster doesn’t show up. What am I missing. I do have CDP configured on Veeam and another cluster is configured with it. Any ideas? 

I installed the Veeam 12.3.2.3617 on a virtual Windows Server 2025 and this has been a very bad experience.  I started to migrate the repository data to the new server, but it has become very unusable.  Now when I look up the issues on the web with Veeam, other people seem to have similar issues when using server 2025 with the repository on a ReFS file system.  At this point, everything is in limbo, meaning that the server randomly hangs when Veeam runs.  30% of the repository has been moved, but I can’t seem to do anything with the server.  Every time we try to access Veeam repository it just hangs.Does anyone have any suggestions other than scrapping the Veeam backup installation completely?thanksMatt

We have to diable Backup Jobs for Updates and reboots. There is a risk of letting the jobs diabled after reboot! It would be great to disable the Jobs in the GUI for some time only! With API calls we have to diable MFA for this account what can bring a security risk!
