Did I have a fever dream about a year ago that said Veeam was being ported to Linux? I haven’t read/seen or heard anything about it in a long while. I did not see any installers to be had last time I checked.

As part of the Veeam Backup & Replication server v12.3.0.310 upgrade, the built-in PostgreSQL is installed like below:The installation successful without any error.However, there was no prompt or notification of what is the credential that can be used for accessing this default instance of PostgreSQL:Via the command line: "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\scripts\runpsql.bat" Or using the DB Configuration settings UI: I have also tried to manually install PGAdmin interface, but not sure what is the default credential I can use to login to this default instance installed by Veeam Backup:

I have Veeam B&R installed in a lab. I’m trying to find a way to backup/restore remote Linux servers (agents) to the LAN. I want to have a Veeam server on the LAN initiate and pull the data from the remote servers using port 22 (SSH) so that I do not have to open any additional ports on the remote servers or on the LAN.Is this something that Veeam Cloud Connect can do? I’ve tried doing this with standard Veeam B&R but it just won’t traverse NAT.All of the videos that I’ve watched seem to indicate that Veeam Cloud Connect is geared towards providing a backup service to other companies. I’m just trying to backup my own servers and I don’t need remote access to the Veeam console.Also, everything on the LAN is behind a gateway device that provides WAF and SSL termination and I have a reverse proxy running on the LAN that can also terminate SSL.

We are working on to fix Security and Compliance Analyzer recommendations. We have run the script provided by Veeam. We are concerned about Item 28: "Hardened repositories should have the SSH server disabled." Since the Veeam Backup and Replication server connects to the Linux Hardened Repository via SSH, is it safe to have SSH disabled? Does Veeam Backup and Replication connect to the Hardened Repository over SSH on a port other than 22?

I realise there’s one topic from a couple years back which is close to this, but so far the potential fixes there didn’t apply or help.I’ve had a backup task now for around a year, 2x SSDs (1x500GB, 1x1TB) from a windows machine. At some point in the past month just after a client update, the read speed of the C drive has slowed down to ~8MB/s from a previous read speed of 150MB/s+. The disk is at under 50% capacity, and from Task Manager CPU is at ~25%, RAM (32GB) is at 60%, the disk fluctuates between 0% and 20% utilization, with the disk transfer rate at 0, peaking at about 125MB/s once every 12 seconds.The disk is about 4 years old, so not new, but also doesn’t show any issues, `winsat disk` shows the below:

What access does this role give a user in the Veeam Console? I cannot find a reference to it anywhere. Want to allow my Security team to look at Alerts and other details.

“Restore of OneNote notebooks from backups of Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft OneDrive for Business and Microsoft Teams data for organizations with modern app-only authentication is not supported.”...and both other connection options require EWS, which is no longer supported. Therefore restoration is not possible? I know you can restore to a zip and do a copy later.If that’s correct, is there a solution in the works?Thanks. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo365/guide/vbo_considerations.html?zoom_highlight=onenote&ver=70https://www.veeam.com/kb4365 

Hello,i would like to ask, if there is anything already ready to know develop something, what is readyI am thinking to use grafana for monitoring linux reasources like cpu, memory, number of concurrent tasks for hardened and nfs repository (on gateways), how many tasks/vmdks are used by proxy with hourly records to monitor, if something is not overloaded or too much under-designed like too many proxy servers, or if we have issue with backups to check resources of backup infrastructure.In current Veeam One is missing cpu, memory, ….Not sure, if something will be available in VO 13 …. We have already calculation in our design, what is officially recommended, but we are in point to look, if really we need so resources due costs, if backup infrastructure is not overloaded, if jobs are effectively spread during night, if tasks for nfs repository is enough (if its needed more, they are canceled, not waiting in queue), ….  

Hi all, Just making everyone aware of a recent security incident. Multiple news sources have reported that as of at least last week, the official RVTools installer contained a malicious payload. RVTools and Robware sites are currently down but without a specific statement on the software’s reported compromise. I personally would assume all builds of RVTools are compromised until we have a date the malicious payload was introduced, and avoid all use of the tool until further notice. Stay safe out there!

Hello,does anybody i using NFS repository.I am looking some guidance, which parameter could be reconfigured for better connectivity.Logs shows, that “NFS4.1 is timed out” and then is working again. This is not network issue.In case of plugin backup we have 5% failures due that.We has several cases, but is pointed into NFS protocol.So maybe someone found, which parameters could be increased to fix that between Linux repository and Linux gateway.Thank you 

Hello VEEAM team, Does the roadmap include support for the XCP-NG / Xen virtualization solution?Damien

Hello,i am looking for siem with Veeam in private cloud - without sending logs to public cloud to analyze threadssomethings what could be isolated - logs cannot be sent into internet/public cloud.maybe with some AI (as main reason to have option to analyze logs for threads), which could update its signature from internet, is possibleAny suggestions are welcomedthank you

Hello, For "test guest credentials" does not exist any official powershell or API. Does anybody knows any workaround how to achieve that?Thank you

Hi,  We’ve just upgraded our Veeam Backup and Replication server to 12.3.1.1139.  All went very smoothly.  I also upgraded the Backup and Replication Console, on my pc, to the same version.   However, now my Veeam console will not log in to the Veeam Server. I get a message saying “Failed to connect Veeam Backup & Replication server: The logon attempt failed.”  On investigation, I found that this occurred when I was using the server name (as the field was auto-populated with this info from before the upgrade).  However, if I use the IP of the Veeam server, the console connects as expected.  I tested this using the full FQDN of the Veeam server, but still did not connect - it only seems to connect using the IP. This was not an issue prior to upgrading and is problem as we need to be able to connect via FQDN. All DNS entries are checked and accurate, nslookup finds no issues. Even under managed servers tab in Veeam the Backup Server is set using the F

I have single vmware backup contains 11VMs. In the details why there are 1 VM using default proxy and the rest using custom proxy? With this situation the 1 VM have slow backup.  

I have been having issues with the local file server/storage which is a Synology device running their latest up to date OS.I recently enabled SMB multichannel and Asyncronous read on the Synology. Unfortunately, my backups have started failing across multiple devices: 4/1/2024 12:32:10 PM :: Error: The network is busy. Asynchronous request operation has failed. [readsize = 4202496] [offset = 8585379840] Failed to restore file from local backup. VFS link: [summary.xml]. Target file: [MemFs://frontend::CDataTransferCommandSet::RestoreText_{04776693-5fd2-4b58-8adb-2a31e1e3d68e}]. CHMOD mask: [255]. Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.RestoreText}  While I understand I can disable the feature and NOT have SMB multichannel on, it’s been great and beneficial. I’d much prefer I was able to support and take advantage here. Is this something I can address in some way? This is using the Veeam agent.

Hi All,I’m receiving this error on within Veeam running a Backup Copy to a QNAP. I’m a novice at Veeam so any help is appreciated. Looking in the C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup folder, which log file in particular will detail where exactly this error is happening? Below is the summary of the Failed ‘Backup Copy to QNAP’ job.  

We’ve installed the SQL Server Plug-in on a couple of test boxes, but the Veeam toolbar isn’t showing up in SSMS when we open it up. Is there a trick to get it to show up so our DBA can manage Veeam backups from within SSMS?We installed the plug-in with an account that was in the local Administrators group. We right-clicked and selected “run as administrator” when we launched the installer. We went through the Veeam Plugin Configuration application. But after all of that, when we open SSMS the Veeam toolbar doesn’t show up like it does in all of the demo videos. We’ve checked the “view” settings but Veeam plugin isn’t an option there.Any help what we are missing would be appreciated. Edit: Veeam 12.1.0.2131, SSMS v15.0.18369.0, Windows Server 2019 Standard

I have three backups jobs: one that runs once a week, one that runs every evening (Monday - Friday), and one that runs twice a day.  I want all of these backups to be copied to tape each night.  Currently, only the daily and bi-daily jobs are being copied.  Today’s logs states that no restore points were found for the weekly job between 05/11/2025 and 05/13/2025. (the last time the job ran was 05/10/2025)Is there any way to get this (weekly) job onto the tape each night?  I have synthetic fulls being made each night so that I get a full backup of all jobs on every tape.David

I was looking for an alternative to Macrium Reflect for my home PC backup after I learned that their free version was no longer supported, and quite a few people recommended Veeam, so here I am having downloaded the free community version, but now that I’ve installed it, I think I’m in way over my head lol I am not a professional and have no experience or education in IT, but I have been able to follow instructions well enough to troubleshoot and maintain my own machine in most cases. All I want is to set up a straightforward and regular (as in repeating regularly) backup for my home pc on a local external drive, no servers, no ports, not on any cloud, but I can’t even get past the login screen. Having read this page in the help center it seems like I’ve either missed a few steps (I have no server to provide c

I hear sharepoint personal use onedrive in the backend, so are we need to backup both services?

Currently we backup our M365 using Veeam Data Cloud (VDC) including to backup SharePoint site.I have one SharePoint site with large size (around 12TB) and the VDC backup this site need time more than 3 weeks or more for incremental.Contacting the VDC support and they said the backup was throttling by Microsoft.Second app already registered also. From VDC point of view, what can we do to improve this?
