Veeam Backup and Replication v12.3.2 (Free)VMWare ESXi 8.0 (Free) Hello Community! I’m hoping someone here can help me.I have successfully  backed up a physical Windows server using Veeam agent. Created a recovery media to use for restore into a VM. I have created the VM with similar CPU/RAM/Disk as the physical server. Powered on VM and booted it using the recovery media. During the restoration, the process fails with these error messages (see below). I tried looking for the logs in C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup but there were so many in there so I couldn’t which one to look for. If anyone has an idea on how I can resolve this issue, please let me know. If you need logs, please tell me which one to look for.Thank you very much! Error Message 1 Error Message 2 

Anyone can help me to resolve this issue.   

Hi everyone,I’m studying the v13.0.1 training course in order to delivery its next year, during reading the course material, I found the information that not all functionalities are available on VBR Windows still available on VSA, I’m trying to find a list of those unavailable functionalities, but so far, I couldn’t get a list of them, does anyone know what functionalities are not available on VSA v13?

What’s the root password on the VSA?

When we enable MFA, then all users is forced to use MFA. In case we need do execute script by powershell, how we can exclude so the powershell script still can operate normally?

Good afternoon everyone,I'm using the latest version, 13, but after restarting my server, I can no longer connect to the console. It shows an SSL error, "see inner exception," but I haven't been able to find them to get more information. Could you please help me?  

We’re setting up the Veeam Software Appliance (VSA). We got an error when we tried to connect to our storage device, "Failed to get certificate from: https://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx:5392." technical support has advised us to “ensure that the cipher suite 'TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256' is enabled on the Veeam appliance.”The command “openssl version -d” returns “OPENSSLDIR: "/etc/pki/tls".” When I try to edit openssl.conf in that folder, I get an error, “E45: 'readonly' option is set”. How can I enable the cipher?Thanks for reading.

Hi Community, During Veeam Agent backup, you may see: Collecting recovery media files. Details: Windows recovery image file not found This means Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) is missing or disabled. Solution: Work for me this morning.Run on target VM. reagentc /setreimage /path C:\Windows\System32\Recovery; reagentc /enable!--scriptorendfragment-->!--scriptorstartfragment--> Note: If WinRE files or the recovery partition are missing, you can ignore this warning backup is valid.(See diagram below for quick steps.)   

Hi, I’m running the most recent B&R CE version 13.0.1.180 and trying to create a recovery thumb drive.  I have tried multiple USB sticks and keep getting the same error:  Preparing USB disk Error: The system cannot find the path specified.   I know the USB sticks are good as they are new and I have tried multiple batches.  Anyone else experiencing this?

I first of all installed Veeam v12.3 on an external drive then i uninstalled it. I then tried to install it on the hard drive of my PC, but this error popped up. I did some research and discovered it could be because of the last installation residues that could still be running in my PC. So i went on checking all the possible places where these residues could be (task anager, register,...) but still after trying to install it the same error pops up. So what can be the problem with this installation?  

Hi,we backup our ad users with Veeam and had to restore some of them. So far no problem, the restore succeeded and user was back including the old password.The user could logon into computers, but he wouldn’t get any kerberos tickets. Only after a password change the behavior was completely normal.We couldn’t find any reason for this as only timestamps get changed with the user object. Any ideas why it istn’t working as expected?Thanks and happy holidays

Hello everyone,What is the best practice to backup VMs on HPE Simplivity?

Hi everyone,I’m using the Veeam community edition to backup some data to WORM tapes (I have an HP Ultrium LTO-4 1840 tape drive with HP LTO-4 WORM tapes). Unfortunately, I’m getting the following error when the backup job starts: “There is an old MTF block on tape. Cannot write a new one” after which the job fails before backing up any data.  The WORM tapes are all brand new/sealed, so are completely blank and the write-protect toggle/switch on the tapes are all set to off. I created a WORM Media Pool and selected ‘Do not create, always continue using current media set’ for the Media Set.On first-time insertion, the tapes were inventoried and added to the WORM media pool (Veeam successfully recognizes the tapes as WORM capable) so all looks good.However I’ve tried 3 brand new tapes so far and they’ve all failed with the same error above, although the same backup job works perfectly on normal RW tapes, so I’m not sure if I need to do anything extra in Veeam to get WORM tapes working?I’v

Dear Community, What could be the issue while upgrading VONE to the latest version?   

Hey there, we need Offsite-Backups of our Unstructured Data. Since the Backup Files are roughly 3,5 TB in Size, its impossible to get that Data to the Site directly due to slow Internet Connections. So i first configured a Secondary Target NAS for the Backup Job Onsite to get that Backup Copy onto it. I then moved that NAS to the Offsite Location, changed it’s IP and added it back into Veeam as a new Repository. Did a Rescan of that new Repo and Veeam found the Backup Data and added it. I now added that new Repo to the secondary Target in the Veeam File Backup Job and removed the first one (which was the same NAS with the Onsite IP which is now invalid). I then restarted the actual Backup Job. It created some data, finished teh Job and the new Backup Copy Job started. But here’s the problem: It completely ignores the Backup Copy already in existence on that (now) Offsite NAS and instead starts creating a whole new Backup Copy. This is absolutely inacceptable. How can i tell Veeam, that

Hi, I was using Veeam v12 on my server to backup my virtual machine on Windows Server. I got hacked with a Kraken v1.3 ransomware virus and all my files were encrypted. Most of the files on my backup drive also got encrypted, but the biggest and main backup of around 700GB seems to still have it's original extension. (the smaller files which i believe were incremental backups, are all encrypted) I setup a new server and installed Veeam v13. I tried to do a backup import of the main backup file, but then i receive an error:2025/12/10 10:14:39 Failed : Failed to import backup Error: Storage version [1390707963] is not supported for read-only access.

Hello - I am running Veaam Backup and Replication V.12 and am attempting to configure email notifications using Microsoft 365 modern authentication. I authorized the connection via the MSFT 365 signin dialogue and when complete I can see the indicator that the token is valid, but when I send a test email I get a general exception error message (see screenshot). The error doesn’t give allot to go on, has anyone else seen this and can recommend a solution?  

Hello,I’ve just installed Veeam B&R and VeeamOne (both version 13) on one physical Windows Server 2025.Was it mistake? Because I cannot configure and start Veeam Intelligent Diagnostics.The reason (not confirmed yet) is Veeam Analytics service.Description here: Veeam Intelligent Diagnostics - Veeam ONE User GuideI need two instances of this service, in Server mode for VeeamOne and in Client mode for B&R.Or VID can work without Veeam Analytics service, because this is within ONE physical server?I hope, someone has solved this already...Best regards,Tom

I have installed Veeam Software Appliance on fresh hardware. My intent is to recreate my backup infrastructure around it and then deprecate my current Windows server that handles the jobs. I am not finding anywhere to download a license key for version 13. It does not show in my account portal as an option for generating a key.
