I am new to Veeam, so I apologise if this is a stupid question.I have a number of remote sites that each have a Proxmox server. Each of these servers is connected to my home using a TailScale network. There is a Linux VM acting as a subnet router.I am trying to use the latest version 12.3 of Veeam to backup the VM’s on the remote sites to a small NAS installed in each site. Basically, I want to manage the backups from a central location, but the backups actually take place at the remote sites.I can register the remote Proxmox servers centrally, but when I run the test on the worker created at each site, it looks like it will run OK; it starts the worker, connects to it, but then always fails on the connect to core services, and occasionally fails on failed to obtain IP address.As a test, I have disabled the firewall on the central backup server and the worker VM. But the errors are the same.I have tested the connection between sites using several other applications, and it works well a

Hello,I wanted to verify if the Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center v9.1.0.3107 is supported in System Center Operations Manager 2025.We have it running on our test environment and it seems to work but we want to validate before we upgrade our production SCOM environment.Kind Regards,JM

We have installed Veeam in a Standalone Hyper V host, and we can perform backups of all virtual machines in this Hyper V host. All the VMs are in drive D of the Hyper-V host.  Is there a way that I can do a backup of the C Drive of the Hyper V host so that we can restore the server and then restore the Virtual machines in case the Hyper-V Host fails? Do I need to install a Windows agent in the Hyper V host?  What is the best approach?  

Hi All,Does veeam also upgrades the database version  during the upgrade process? (ms sql or postgres)Because when upgrading from 12.1 to 12.3, Postgres version was still 15.8,how do I know if there will be an update? Will vulnerabilities be patched to address them?

When we backup our outlook using VDC, the processed object mean total of our users?In this pic can i say 829 is total user backup by VDC? 

Hi all,i have currently an environment with multiple jobs in VBO365 (latest version).All regular jobs are running fine.As a fallback, we have defined a catch-all job. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn’t be an object in it…And that’s our case - if the job has nothing to backup (as it’s processed in other jobs), the state will trigger a warning message → this will create an alert in the customers Monitoring Solution. Is there any option to disable it? Or do you have some suggestions for me?Thanks and best regards, Markus    

Dear Community, We have agent-based backup configured for database backups, but our DB team has raised concerns regarding I/O Frozen occurrences while the jobs are running. Additionally, the logs are being truncated every 30 minutes. If anyone has insights or best practices to address this issue, please share your recommendations if anyone has insights or best practices to address these issue recommendations. Your guidance would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

I create a file level job backup and only need to backup .xls files like below picture But when the job is running, why my backup consume more than 300GB? Actually when i filter in the machine, all xls files under E:\ is not more than 50 GB.Capacity of my E drive is 7.4TB and now the job say is 5% progress which mean the VBR like backup all entire disk without any file filtering.Anyone know why? 

I’m attempting to backup an entire Ubuntu 24.04 computer with the Veeam Agent for Linux.  The destination is an external USB drive.  I can do this with a Windows 11 computer and the Veeam Agent for Windows with no problem.However, when I try to do the same thing with the Veeam Agent for Linux, I’m given an error message that the destination path is included in the backup.  As far as I can remember this used to work.Why does this work now only in Windows but not Linux?

What happen if we use file level backup then we have connectivity issue and the job is failed, will in next retry the VBR continue the backup or will start from beginning?

Hello Community,I am facing the following problem.We are using an archiving (HSM) solution where the archiving application uses the NetApp Fpolicy Engine for mirgation. After migrating files off a NetApp smb share to s3 storage, the NetApp fpolicy engine leaves a stub at the original location. This "stub" is used to recall the file back to the original location when it is accessed. These stubs cause problems when backing up through veeam. During Nas backup (Share and using the NetApp storage integration) the stubs are not backed up, it causes a recall from the archive. (This is not what you want). On a Windows Fileserver veeam handles these stubs well. These stubs are called NTFS Reparse points. The stub file has the L (Reparse) and O (Offline) attribute set. When doing a Windows Fileserver backup these reparse points are, by default, skipped. No setting needed. This is the correct way to handle stubs. I assume this is because of the "L" attribute of the reparse point. The NetApp Fpoli

Hello, we added file-indexing on our ubuntu 24.04 lts-servers today and started the backup of each workload.Veeam detects all files with extension .sophos and .lynx as malware.The files with extensions .sophos are 100% clean, these is our sophos endpoint detection for linux.The lynx-files looks also normal and not like malware. Can we exclude thee files for each workload? I only see the option to exclude a complete workload. Detected files:/opt/sophos-spl/.sophos/usr/share/doc-base/lynx-common.lynx/usr/share/doc/w3m/keymap.lynx/usr/share/doc/w3m/ja/keymap.lynx/usr/share/doc/w3m/ja/examples/keymap.lynx/usr/share/doc/w3m/examples/keymap.lynx/usr/share/wazuh-dashboard/plugins/wazuh/node_modules/brfs/test/

Dear community, Does anyone have an idea if I can force a threat hunter signature update? I do have 2 different cases: Lab case (NFR license!)I do have a lab with a NFR license activated and my SureBackup fails on a regular base with the error message, that the Threat Hunter signature update is not possible.I already reviewed the firewall rules and updates a rule set for v12.3 so that every requirement should be done. Customer case (prod license)The SureBackup (antivirus) fails with the error message that there is no signature database available. wr already reviewed the FW rules and don’t see issues. Can I force the signature update manually somehow? If nobody has input on this I will of course open a support ticket! Thanks in advance!Lukas

Dear Veeam community,I am using Veeam Backup & Replication to back up my data and would like to know if it is possible to add Synology NAS to the list of managed servers in Veeam Backup & Replication. I tried to configure Synology NAS as a Linux server, but I encountered an error: ‘Unable to collect hardware info. scp: /var/services/homes/adminDS/.: No such file or directory’. I have checked the path and permissions but the problem persists. Can you give me instructions or recommendations on how to properly configure the Synology NAS as a managed server in Veeam Backup & Replication? I would appreciate any help or advice. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello,I’m unable to stop or disable Office 365 backup jobs, and I keep getting the error message:“Unable to complete the operation. Another job operation is in progress.”I have already tried stopping all Veeam-related services (Veeam*), as well as rebooting the Veeam Backup server, but the job remains stuck and won’t stop.Current version: Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 8.1.0.331Has anyone encountered this issue before?

Hello,We have a Backup Copy on S3 containing multiple backup jobs, and we have noticed that VMs removed from the jobs are not being deleted from the S3 repository, even after exceeding the defined retention period. Full and incremental backup images are still being retained.I would like to understand how retention works in this scenario. Does the fact that the backup chain is incomplete prevent the deletion of old restore points?What are the best practices to ensure the automatic expiration of obsolete backups?Thank you in advance for your help.Best regards,

Hi ​@Madi.Cristil, I have a request for a Webinar topic and ​@Pybarra in the R&D Forums suggested I reach out to you. I would -really- like to see an in-depth webinar & demo session discussing section 2.9 Hardening in the VBR Best Practices Guide (link below), with the subjects of proper segmentation (2.9.1) and “management domains” (2.9.3) being of particular interest. Seeing this in action in a demo environment where the different server & network configurations (both physical and virtual) would be absolutely invaluable since it's almost never discussed in Veeam Best Practices videos beyond the topic of Linux Hardened Repositories.https://bp.veeam.com/security/Design-an ...

I’m using the Veeam Agent for Windows (Free Edition) and 6.3.0.177. My primary drive is a 4TB NVMe SSD (NTFS / backup source) and my backup drive is a 4TB USB 3.0 SSD (ReFS / backup target).For a long time now I see performance issues with backups. My first thread about this wasSince then, I replaced my external  USB drive (backup target) three times. I initially had a 1TB WD HDD, replaced it first with the same drive (guarantee/RMA), then with a different 1TB WD HDD and eventually moved to a 4TB SSD.From experienced I noticed three things:The drives became slower with time. With time the backup size increased and formatting or replacing the drive seemed to solve the problem, but the issue would eventually return. I suspected that the performance degradation was due to SMR, so I eventually switched from a HDD to a SSD. The SSD proved very fast read and write speeds, but soon I experience the same performance issues -- even worse. The issue started after adding a bunch of additional dat

Hi All, I have this weird error happening on my Veeam server.“Host is unreachable. Unable to install backup agent: cannot connect to 192.168.0.100 Error: The parameter is incorrect.”The weird thing is, I’ve checked through all nodes of my Veeam installation and can’t find anything erroring or relating to this error (see pic).In the ‘Name’ section below, those IP addresses do not relate to anything on the LAN, they aren’t even the same subnet. I have no idea where they are coming from.

Our Veeam Backup and Enterprise Manager were both hosted on the same server, but I've now relocated the Enterprise Manager to a different server. Should I keep the guest catalog folder (VBRCatalog) on the old server?I know VBRCatalog uses Backup server and it replicates to EM ( if it is, any additional steps required ). Please advise
