Estou usando a Community Edition e vi que ela é compatível com o Veeam Data Cloud Vault; comprei-a em 23/07, mas até agora não consegui usá-la nem acessar o suporte ao produto. Como não tenho uma licença padrão da Veeam, não consigo falar com o suporte técnico nem abrir um chamado.
Hi everyone,I'm trying to determine whether this is a bug or if I'm missing something in my configuration.EnvironmentVeeam Backup & Replication Community Edition 13 Build: 13.0.2.29 Proxmox VE 9.2.2 2-node Proxmox cluster Shared QCOW2 storage Backup Proxy/Worker successfully deployed HotAdd transport modeProblemAll Windows VMs are backed up successfully.Any Linux/BSD VM fails with: Failed to perform backup.Failed to prepare disks for backup.So far I have reproduced the issue with:Debian 13 (fresh installation) pfSenseWindows Server VMs work without any issues.What I have already testedCreated a brand new Debian VM → same error Manual snapshot from Proxmox → works Snapshot through Proxmox API (pvesh) → works qemu-img check → no corruption Guest Processing disabled Inventory rescanned Worker redeployed VM migrated between nodes Same storage used by both Windows and Linux VMs Windows backup succeeds using the same repository and proxyExample:pvesh create /nodes/nodo2/qemu/108/snapshot
We are a vmware shop, being priced out. Many factors pushing us toward Hyper-V.I understand that in the early days ReFS was bug-ridden in multiple aspects.Going forward with Windows 2025 CORE Hyper-V, with VM’s of Windows2022, RHEL 9, and a few linux-based OVA deployments, what is the community recommendation for the format of the iSCSI LUNs that the VM’s run from? there will be sizes from a couple hundred GB to all the way to 6TB, and in a special case 20TB.Our Veeam Repos are XFS, so not a factor here.Thank you kindly
This is a tough situation I’ve been fighting for a week. Our windows server (2016) on which veeam Backup & Replication 12 was running on broke and we were unable to make it boot again.After much trying, I setup a new Windows Server (2025) and installed Veeam 12 on it. Before installation I installed MSSQL, imported the database from the old server and used that as an existing DB during installation. We don’t have a .bco Backup.This worked pretty well, all our backups were recognized, our configuration was still there, etc. I managed to restore the connection to our VMWare by re-entering the connection password. Now we have a Linux Backup Proxy. I reset the credentials and a connection can be established, but I am getting these errors now (from Util.VolumesHostDiscover.log): [31.07.2026 15:52:41.908] <24> Error (3) Failed to unprotect data: the actual generation 1be493dd-f053-4957-86cf-06d604afcbdd does not match the expected generation ad168c2e-58e4-49d5-aa58-747ee032
Hello,We have two Veeam Backup & Replication v12 environments:Veeam Data Platform Essentials Veeam Data Platform FoundationBoth environments are isolated from the Internet, and license updates are performed manually rather than automatically.If we upgrade these environments to Veeam Backup & Replication v13, can we continue using the existing license without importing an updated license file, provided that the current license is still valid and has not expired?The following conditions apply:The current license is still within its validity period. No changes will be made to the edition (Essentials or Foundation). No changes will be made to the number of licensed instances or sockets. The environments will remain offline.Under these conditions, is a license file update required when upgrading from v12 to v13?Thank you.
Hello, I’d like to ask about an issue I’m facing.Recently, I configured Veeam Backup & Restore version 13 to back up my Windows SQL Server. The database backup completed successfully, but when I attempted to restore it on a per‑table basis, I noticed that this cannot be done via the plug‑ins. The interface looks like this:Restore interface for MSSQL Server using Plug‑InsAfter that, I checked the Veeam guide and noticed that if I want to perform a per‑table restore, I first need to configure a staging server in Veeam Explorer for MSSQL. However, when I try to add the staging server, I encounter the following error messages:Staging Server cant be added to ControllerDoes anyone know how to fix this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hello everyone,I'm reaching out today because we're experiencing performance issues with our Veeam backups. More specifically, I find that both the incremental backup duration and the Synthetic Full backup duration are extremely long.Here's a quick overview of our current physical infrastructure:Veeam Backup Server running as a virtual machine (connected at 10 Gbps) - 13.0.2.29 Backup Repository: Synology RS2418+ (Intel Atom C3538, 4 GB RAM, no SSD cache, connected at 10 Gbps) Disks: Disk 1: WDC WD80EFAX-68KNBN0 Disk 2: WDC WD80EFAX-68KNBN0 Disk 3: WDC WD80EFAX-68KNBN0 Disk 4: WDC WD80EFAX-68KNBN0 Disk 5: WDC WD80EFPX-68C4ZN0 (recently added, hence the different model) For every backup job, the bottleneck consistently shows "Target".Backup configurationWe currently have two backup jobs:Job 1Selected production servers Incremental backups: Monday to Friday, starting at 7:00 PM Synthetic Full: Saturday (same start time, as it's not possible to schedule a Synthetic Full earlier than t

All Veeam jobs are started failing (VMware Snapshot/Agent/Offload) suddenly with error Job cannot be started timeout 901 sec. we are on 12.3.2 version. Any suggestions or guidance is highly appreciated.Its started working fine post restart of services.
I noticed that every REST API request, including the access token request (POST /api/oauth2/token), requires the x-api-version header (for example 1.3-rev1).So I wanted to check if is there any REST API endpoint that returns the supported x-api-version (or REST API revision) without requiring the x-api-version header?
Backup job finished with Failed, Job details: Job cannot be started. Timeout 904 sec, Job has failed unexpectedlyEven the scheduled config backup job did not progress , veeam version 12.3.2All the veeam services are running fine. Kindly advise
Hello Community.I was asked by Packt Publishing if there are any influencers out there with a blog/vlog that would be interested in doing a book giveaway for a physical copy and e-book (PDF)?If you are, reach out to me via DM and I can also see for the person who does the giveaway about getting a copy of the book as well.Look forward to hearing back as I am trying to work on some traction with the book sales.Cheers - Chris
How to back up company data on a QNAP NAS? What are my options?
We changed the IP address of a NAS used as a CIFS/SMB backup repository. The repository was originally configured using a UNC path with a hardcoded IP address and is now showing as Unavailable because the old IP is no longer reachable.Veaam ver 12.3.2Current situation:Repository type: CIFS/SMB Old repository path: \\192.168.0.8\NAS New repository path: \\192.168.0.81\NAS\Backups Repository is not listed under Get-VBRServer; it is only visible via Get-VBRBackupRepository, so KB1905 (managed server rename) does not apply. A new repository was added using the updated NAS path. When attempting to map existing backups to the new repository, Veeam requests moving the backup files from the old repository. This operation cannot proceed because the old repository path is no longer accessible. Creating a new backup chain is currently not an option due to storage constraints.Looking for the supported and safest approach to transition the existing backup chains and jobs to the new NAS repository
I’m getting the below error after upgrading Veeam servers from v12 to the latest release of v13. It’s a windows based install of Veeam, and it is connected to a (dedicated to Veeam only) AD domain.My user has local administrator permissions, Veeam Backup Administrator permissions, and MFA disabled for testing/troubleshooting purposes. The is happening across each of the Veeam v13 servers I have on the domain.It is only happening for mine and one other engineer’s user accounts, but other engineer’s accounts are not affected. We are all in the same AD groups so permissions are the same.I have tried removing Veeam Backup Administrator permissions from my account, rebooting, and re-adding, to no effect.Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions for what else to check? In the meantime I have a case open with Veeam support, and hoping they can come up with something.Relevant logs:[19.01.2026 21:07:36.194] <126> Error (1) Veeam.Backup.IdentityService.Shared.CSystemAccountProvid

Community,Wasabi has made a MCP (Model Context Protocol) server available to access stand-alone accounts as well as control accounts. Toolsets include: S3, IAM, and WACM (Wasabi Account Control Manager).All of the details are available here - https://wasabi.com/cloud-object-storage/mcp-for-aiNow you can utilize natural language queries to see practically anything you’d want to know about your account settings, utilization, and users. I can imagine easily integrating these tools into a support agent at your favorite MSP…
We have a few clients that have a single physical server and have a service or application that is already using port 443. So when we attempt to upgrade from v12 to v13, it won’t install since 443 is being used and v13 uses it for the Veeam Web Service. Assuming we can temporarily disable this service/app to get the upgrade to complete, is there a way once v13 is installed to get the Veeam Web Service to use a different port?
Hello,I’m currently testing Veeam v13 using the appliance‑based deployment and love the infrastructure. I have few issues, so not sure if the appliances are limitation to those issues.So far I have the following components installed: VBR (appliance) Hardened Repository (appliance) Proxy (appliance) Enterprise manager (appliance) VeeamOne (windows server - non domain joined) First issueVeeam ONE is installed on a Windows Server, but I’m unable to add the VBR server to it.The error I receive is: “Veeam Analytics Service on the remote server is not running.” I attempted also a manual installation of the Analytics Service, and I can confirm that the service is running on the VBR sidevia manual installation or via VeeamOne installation.Data collection access is allowed, and all components are within the same L2 segment, so there are no firewall issues.Second issueI am not able to add EM to VeeamOne, it provides me that account does not have premissions.

Hi All, Would it be possible to replace or update the OpenSSL component only on the Veeam Agent for Windows [v13.0.3.1220] due to the Critical bug below, or is it better to wait until Veeam released the latest update ? Recommended Action: Download and install patches as instructedDescription:A heap buffer overflow from converting large OCTET STRINGs to hex on 32 bit OpenSSL may crash or allow code execution; caused by 32 bit multiplication overflow; affects non FIPS OpenSSL 3.x on 32 bit systems.Affected Products:OpenSSLCVE IDs:CVE-2026-31789Vendor Information:https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.htmlVendor Patch Download:https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries Thank you,
We are planning to upgrade Veeam Backup & Replication from v12 to v13, and I understand that PostgreSQL will be upgraded from version 15 to version 17 during the upgrade process.After completing our validation, including backup and restore tests, we would like to uninstall PostgreSQL 15 from the VBR server.Could anyone share the recommended procedure for safely removing PostgreSQL 15 after the upgrade? Are there any prerequisites or checks that should be performed before uninstalling it?Thank you in advance for your help.
Hi everyone,We're currently using the new Veeam Backup & Replication v13 Appliance and have a question regarding post-backup automation.In our previous Windows-based Veeam installation, we had a scheduled task that would automatically shut down the backup server after the backup job had completed successfully. This worked well for our 3-2-1 backup strategy, as the backup server only needed to be online during the backup window.After migrating to the v13 Appliance, we can't seem to find a similar option or supported method to automatically power off the appliance once all backup jobs have finished.Has anyone implemented this on the v13 Appliance? Is there a built-in feature, or is there a recommended approach for scheduling an automatic shutdown after all backup jobs have completed?Any suggestions or best practices would be appreciated.
Hello everyone, I am looking to schedule daily backup jobs and copy jobs reports using powershell in veeam backup server. Could you please provide me the suitable script for reports as per jobname, server, latest backup run time, status. Backup version is 13.0
Veeam Backup and Replication v13 on Windows includes an option to define a custom mirror repository. But what repository should you actually mirror? Is this option even intended for the windows based installation, cause it feels like the offical repos only host updates for the software appliance.
Hi Community,Does anyone know the best way to backup the Nutanix Prism Centarl VM? Thank you!
