TeamI have scheduled a weekly health check job for all active jobs, but unfortunately, we have not received the report via email, nor is it possible to generate it in an HTML format similar to the backup job reports.Could you please assist with this? Additionally, the SOBR job results are not as effective or detailed as the daily backup job reports.

Hi Community We woke up one day to a dead HDD. We are replacing the entire server, as the server is or was over 12 years old. New DELL Server coming in, which will be the host, and internal SSD drives now. It will have ESXi 8 on it. My question is. We had 2 servers (virtual machines) on the old server, both using Veeam Agent 6.0.2 shooting images to Wasabi, and incremental, with periodic full images on the weekends. This has worked for us for years, starting from Version 4 until today, we upgraded versions along the way. But never been in this situation. Being that the Windows Agent was directly installed on the machines that were affected, and now dead, and being that Wasabi has all our data, does anyone have a suggestion how to download those images or I should say, restore the vm’s to the new host? We have a few ideas, but with Veeam, making one wrong move can take hours and hours as you have to wait before it fails, where you think its potentially working. We’re pretty stuck and in

Hi everyone,How does a worker instance deployed in a “production account” access a S3 bucket repository in the “backup account” if there is no S3 bucket policy, cross-account IAM roles, etc. in place? Not sure if this is relevant but I’ve shared a VPC subnet between the production and backup accounts for the worker instances to use. I’m using the Veeam provided IAM roles for the backup appliance (vaws1-VeeamImpersonationRoleV1-XXXXXXXXX) and worker instances (VeeamInstanceBackupRestoreAccessRoleV1-XXXXXXXXX). What am I missing here? Thanks!Steve

When trying to deploy the worker instance to another account and in the North Virginia region, the error Processing instance failed: Cannot find any IAM instance profiles associated with IAM role arn:aws:iam::accountnumber:role/VeeamWorkerRoleis being displayed.We have already validated communication with the endpoints and egress and ingress rules in the security group on port 443 and it is ok.The roles and permissions as well as the Worker profile are also correct.Has anyone experienced this problem?Thanks.Cláudio Hipólito 

Hello,I have to configure S3 Wasabi for the first time and I would like to be sure about the configuration.I will use it as backup copy repository with immutability.1) I create the bucket on Wasabi with versionning + object lock enabled2) I create a policy on Wasabi based on https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... positoriesI need the policy "Immutability Enabled and Helper Appliance Configured Beforehand" right ?How could I limit the policy only to the bucket "backupbucket" ? Because if I understand correctly, the policy in Veeam documentation has permission on all buckets.3) I create a new user and assign the policy4) I create the repository to veeam and set the desired immutability.I think I need some help on part 2 to be sure the user can only write to the "backupbucket".Thanks for your help

In our Veeam environment, we scheduled for backup job to tape face such kind of status and time is too long. Please help to share your experience of this kind of issue. Please kindly see the attached.Thanks.

Dear All,Do we have lab setup for trying configurations of HPE MSL Tape Library with Veeam.Thank You

Dear Community, To reach this step, I resolved the error "SSPI authentication failed for user" by following the steps outlined in the official Veeam article: https://www.veeam.com/kb4542 However, I am now stuck at a point where I must assign the appropriate permissions to proceed. Could someone please guide me to where and how to assign the necessary permissions?    Your advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  

Hello everyone,I was surfing the internet looking for a topic about VMware and I accidentally found this publication. It's only 25 pages long, but it explains in a very objective way how backup works for VMware. I found it very interesting for those who have little knowledge of VMware. It's well worth reading!It addresses the topics in a light and simple way.I recommend it to all of us! Even to value the writer “Lawrence Miller”  

Hello,I just read this solved topicIt’s very similar to my case but it doesn’t resolve it…The wizzard can connect to my proxmox node with root account, I validate the host key, it get storage information but when I click on “apply” at the end of the process :  I try to check in the server log but I can’t see anything significant.In the topic I have linked, it talk about checking logs, can you tel me precisely wich log I can see ?I check on the promox node with journalctl and in /var/log but maybe I’ve missed something ?On the windows veeam B&R server, nothing in the event viewer … The other post solution is to remove MFA from root account, is there an other place to do it than on the proxmox web ui ? Thanks for your help

Hello,I’m using Ubuntu 24.04 and I would like to know how do you configure firewall on this system to allow only required port please ? If my research are correct, I could see I need only 22 + 6160 + 6162 port open and Veeam open the others when neededI think I understand the commands are differents if you setup it before you add it as managed server or after. Could you provide me both solution please ?  Thanks for your help

Hello, when we onboarding our M365 tenant to the VDC there is a requirement that we need Microsoft Global Administrator account.It’s will work for Global Admin with MFA enabled?

This is a quick post on how to setup the newly published Veeam Hardened Repository (Rocky Linux 9.4) base.  I will post a quick guide later but for anyone else who deploys and wonders. Default username: vhradminPassword (changed on first use): vhradmin

We are using azure blob storage with immutable as our Veeam backup immutable backup. (Directly to azure with immutable). now, we are using azure export the blob storage to azure data box. Can we restore the data from there?From Veeam article, Veeam mentioned that “You cannot offload immutable data to the Azure Data Box Device”.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/data_box_seeding.html?ver=120#preparing-azure-data-box-for-shippingI just want to confirm that this article referencing Azure Data Box as a target inside the Veeam software. Once the data is produced by Veeam you can copy it anywhere? or we can't copy to other placeExport data from our repository on Azure Blob immutable storage, get the Azure databox shipped to us, and then restore from the data box 

Hi All, I want to know Veeam to backup Nutanixby deploy more than one workers, can it choose which worker backup which host's VM for the backup job?

Our SIEM system (Splunk) has detected a risk event on the Veeam ONE Server, involving the creation and subsequent deletion of a user account: Veeam_6043-4343A67F. This action was performed by the user xxxx (a service account). However, no one within our team is aware of this activity, and we could not locate any corresponding event logs on the OS (Windows Server 2019) or within Veeam ONE.Could you please help us understand the following:Is it possible that Veeam ONE itself creates and deletes such user accounts as part of its internal processes? If so, what scenarios or mechanisms within Veeam ONE could result in this type of event?We need to explain this situation to our Security team to ensure that this activity is not a result of unauthorized access or malicious actions. Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for your assistance.

Simple one this, where is the feature comparison showing VDP ESSENTIALS, against the foundation, advanced, and premium? What features am I getting in essentials vs those enterprise grade versions basically? It matters because I’m watching the whats new webinar and there is a feature comparison going on but no mention of essentials? Thanks in advance!

Hello,I will implement Veeam Data Cloud for back up our M365 services such as exchange, onedrive, sharepoint and ms.team and the daily operational will be handled by our backup administrator.I have concern when we backup exchange mailbox, the backup administrator can ‘peek’ all the contents of the mailbox for all users.So can we have separate administrator for daily backup and prevent this user to ‘peek the inbox and in same time assign special user who can restore the mailbox? It’s no problem for this special user can peek’ the mailbox, the special user maybe can our CTO.

Hi All, Just asking. If have any official/unofficial workbook for installation and configuration of Veeam Backup and Recovery that I can refer and provided to customer as part of assessment before the Veeam deployment start? Please advise

Hello Team,I am trying to setup woker for Proxmox VE.  I got follwoing error during testing phase.“Failed to connect to the worker core service.  Failed to connect to the backup appliance.”I got some log files, but I am not sure which one I should refer to.Also, it might be “port” issue?  I have opened necessary ports for Veaam communications. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi everyone, I’m trying to resize the Veeam console, but the smallest size that I have still big, I can’t get is smaller than the screenshot bellow.Does anyone knows how to reduce even more the console big?Thank YOU 

I’m finding it very diffcult to find a configuration guide to setup an SOBR that offloads to AWS S3 Glacier archive tier. I understand the concepts but have no experience with AWS. Does anyone know of any guides that get down to the nuts and bolts of setting up the AWS infrastrcture? As I said, I’m new to AWS so need basics like how to apply permissions to resources (i.e. buckets) for users/groups. I’m looking for something on that level. 

Va atasez prezentarile Veeam, despre Zero Trust ArchitectureV-am pus si o prezentare despre Recon Scanner, pe care clientii Veeam Data Platform Premium il primesc (inclus) incepand cu Q4 2024. Recon Scanner ajuta la detectia (si corelatia) anomaliilor si vulnerabilitatile identificate si ca urmare, poate fi super util in protectia anti-ransomware.

Good day, I know this topic was mentioned, well actually a popular one to say the least. I was introduced to using the Port Finder tool in this forum, a very sweet interface, but it is a bit cumbersome to use.  I just need someone to simply provide the standard port numbers to enable in windows firewall for Veeam B&R 12. I clearly get the application group, but source and target service? please explainI just need port numbers to just enable quickly For:Backup Jobs and/or replication jobs communications between Hyper V Server comprising windows and linux vms Backup Proxy communication.That is all. I dont want to keep my windows firewall domain profile off indefinitely lol.  Does it mean that no one knows the actual port numbers directly.

hello, thanks, i am running out of space on a linux server that i use for backup copy jobs.i am not sure the ways to free space without creating a nightmare…by way of example, this is the setting for a backup copy jobwhat would happen if i changed the retention policy from 30 days to 7 days?not sure i really need 30 days, as this is in addition to the main backup policyi would assume that veeam will not delete the older .vib files from day 8 to 30, correct?so i think i need to manually prune those older .vib files?but not wanting to affect veeam ability about keeping certain full backups longer for archival purposes.please, any advise at all about that setup or if any additional information is needed?thanks, david
