Veeam Community - Unable to add an AD server

Hello,Today, the backup of our domain controller is no longer working and we can't access the host. Everything was working fine until now.17/11/2024 21:00:44 Failed Unable to install backup agent: failed to connect to "domainename" Error: Account restrictions are preventing this user from signing in. For example: blank passwords aren't allowed, sign-in times are limited, or a policy restriction has been enforced. Failed to connect to share '\XX.XX.XX.XX\ADMIN$'.The package is accessible when I try to access it manually. I don't understand. The account entered is the domain admin account and even with another account, it doesn't work.I've scoured the forums and I can't find anything.Could someone help me? Regards

renew NFR Key after one Year

Hi zusammen, ich nutze Veeam privat in meinem HomeLab. Nun ist die NFR Lizenz abgelaufen. Ich habe die Sales Kontaktiert ob mir dieser verlängert werden kann habe aber nach mehr als 14 Tagen nichts dazu gehört. Wir haben mehre Veeam Lizenz bei uns in der Firma im Einsatz und ich finde es schade das hier nur für ein Jahr so ein Paket angeboten wird.Wisst ihr noch eine Möglichkeit an eine NFR Lizenz zu kommen?

Immutable Repo - host has failed to respond

Hi all,  I am trying to get support with Veeam but they are giving me the run around (we have a valid license but apparently its not assigned correctly and our account manager is away until the 18th) so I thought id ask here. But I am a bit disappointed Veeam has always been great with support and regardless always tried to help :( Veeam ticket is Case # 07501120  I am getting the following error Error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond This Repo has been working for over a month, no blip or issues. However, just today it started having an issue. The only thing that has changed is I am using a proxy now rather than the backup server direct. I rebooted the immutable repo and Veeam was happy again. However, logged on this afternoon and it says disconnected again. Now I have reinstalled the components onto it again, hopefully it stays - has a

VB365 NATS Server with Single Proxy Server

Hello,I was working on setting up VB365 for our smaller company and had some questions about setting up the NATS server. We are using a single proxy server that is set up on the same server that the VB365 console is running on. We will mainly be backing up M365 mailboxes to object storage for a handful of users.I read here, “The NATS server ensures communication between backup proxy servers that you group into a backup proxy pool.” Since we aren’t using a proxy pool, and just a single proxy server, is NATS still relevant? I ask because I noticed that in the installation instructions here that it reads, “Important: By default, the NATS server that you deploy along with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 on the target machine does not use the TLS encryption.” Should I set up the NATS server to use TLS, or does it not apply to our setup?Thank you in advance for any help.

Which RAID level are you using?

Hi everyone!For those of you using storage servers with local direct attached storage, I would love to know which RAID level you are using?It would be good to learn more about your setup, such as:Are you using HDD or SSD? How many disks do you use? One big RAID or multiples?Finally, why did you choose this RAID level?

veeam file name change

Dear All,Have a nice day.  I found a different on veeam backup version on my test environment 11 vs 12.2 on file save name. In the early version it’s saved as a job name single file but now it’s saved as multiple .vm name file, no jobs name. One job is created and this job has 10 VM, there will be 10 backup files showing.  It's looking odds lot of files.I want to show it as the previous one in a single file. Is it possible? pls check the image. Thanks,Biplob

Veeam Controlled DR

I am working on a Veeam DR doc. I would like to be able to bring up the DR environment in a controlled manner to the point of only enabling the jobs I want to enable.  I know it can be easily done by simply right clicking and disabling the jobs or by PowerShell script. My concern is jobs kicking off as soon as the DR instance is up and not being able to disable them before they start failing. Because before anything we need to validate the environment, proxies, repositories, etc.  Simply failing over the prod system will mean ALL the services and processes will start when the system boots. The feedback I received from support is to stop the Veeam Backup Service.  However, from what I understand I do not have the ability to disable jobs while the Veeam Backup Service is offline. Is there a scheduler service that can be stopped? Ideally, at least for the DR test, we would like to keep jobs from running yet be able to restore systems.While an actual failover is something that should occur

malware detection consistently flags the same files - 12.1.2

The malware detection consistently flags the same files with known malware extensions as suspicious. Despite marking the servers clean multiple times, the detections persist. Is this behavior intended or possibly a bug?

Security & Compliance Analyzer - PostgreSQL Check

These settings can be applied with the Set-VBRPSQLDatabaseServerLimits cmdlet.This new check just verifies that the recommended settings for PosgreSQL are actually applied to our backup server.But what does it mean in detail? INFRASTRUCTURE CHECK DETAILSWe know that since version 12 of VBR, the database that is installed by default is PostgreSQL and no longer the Microsoft SQL Express.So when installing the product, if you choose to keep the default DB and have it installed during the wizard, Veeam will install PostgreSQL on the same VBR server.During this operatio

Azure blob storage

Hi all,I have recently deployed Veeam Backup & Replication and have started to copy backup sets into Azure blob storage for archive purposes. I've been keeping an eye on the Azure costs which seem to be a bit higher than first anticipated. So far in the past 7 days I have pushed around 4TB into the storage account. I see total ingress for the past 7 days as 4.12TB and total egress as 83.24GB. The egress seems high for what should be just pushing data in and forgetting about it. Does anyone have any pointers on how to fine tune the copy job and storage repository? Does that amount of egress seem normal?My repository is configured to use cool blob storage and has vPower NFS enabled.The copy jobs are configured for Immediate copy, include tlogs, GFS retention, not to read the entire restore point from source backup instead of synthesising it, no backup files health check, and auto compression level.Any assistance on tuning this is greatly appreciated!

Moving production backups to a Scale-Out Repository to free space

Hi all, Running Veeam Backup and Replication V11 on an Enterprise license - we have been backing up to HPE StoreOnce repositories for nearly a year, but due to operational changes with more VM’s, additional encryption and retention requirements we are filling these up faster than anticipated (less de-dupe). We would like to move our older monthly/yearly backups to Azure storage for long term retention in order to free up space on the StoreOnce devices for our nightly/weekly backups and restores. Initial research suggests that creating a Scale-Out repository, adding the existing StoreOnce repository as the performance tier extant and a new Azure object storage container as the capacity tier extant is the way to go. The documentation confirms this will re-point all existing jobs to use the new scale-out repository when they next run and anything older than X days (whatever we set in the capacity tier option) will be automatically offloaded to the capacity tier.  The questions I have are:
