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.

It seems the FILE EXCLUSION tab is missing in Veeam Community edition even though the only thing it is supposed to be limited don is the number of workloads. When I go to the job, guest processing and edit, there is no choice to exclude files. What am I missing here? 

Hi Community, Is there a PowerShell command or script to create multiple backup policies in Veeam Backup & Replication? Thanks!

Hello Veeam Community,I have a question regarding cross-platform restore. If we have a backup of a VM running on VMware ESXi, can we restore that backup to a Microsoft Hyper-V environment using Veeam Backup & Replication?Both environments are supported by Veeam, but I want to confirm if this type of restore is possible and what the recommended approach would be (e.g., direct restore, conversion, or any limitations).Has anyone implemented this scenario successfully? Any best practices or considerations would be appreciated.Thank you!

Hello Community, Sharing an update that Veeam announced about production license distribution. This will matter for anyone who handles orders or helps customers access their license files. What’s changingStarting December 4, 2025, production license files will no longer be sent as attachments in order confirmation emails.This includes purchases through the online store, public marketplaces, and distributor marketplaces.Going forward, the designated license administrator for the customer will need to download the production license directly from the My Account portal under Production Licenses.Trial and NFR licenses are not affected. Why this matters• Improves security and keeps license access tied to the right admins• Makes it easier for customers to retrieve licenses in one place• Partners need to make sure the correct customer license admin is specified on every

We are facing an issue with VBR where the application is down and cannot connect to the backup server. The error message shown is: “No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1. Make sure the backup server you are connecting with is 12.3.2 version.” Has anyone encountered this issue before? What steps or permanent solution can resolve this? Any guidance would be appreciated.    

With the newly released Veeam v13, we need to install it at two sites, perform primary backups, and then cross-replicate the backup data from each site as a secondary step.Is this a feasible scenario? 1. Backup Server Configuration- Site1: Dell R760 + VSA (Three backup target servers; agent connection and backup completed)- Site2: Dell R760 + VSA (Five backup target servers; agent connection and backup completed) 2. Additional Configuration Required- Backup Copy from Site1 VSA's backup data to Site2 VSA's backup repository (with Veeam WAN Accelerator enabled)- Backup Copy from Site2 VSA's backup data to Site1 VSA's backup repository (with Veeam WAN Accelerator enabled) 3. Questions- I'm unsure how to register the Site2_VSA_Repository on Site1_VSA. I attempted to register it via the Veeam UI below, but I don't know how t

I have one VBR server with tape installed in main office.Then i also have VBR on other branch in different city and can i use tape on main office to store the backup?I try to add tape server on branch VBR server and pointing to VBR server on main office and should i take the ownership? 

Hi there,I have a question to which i haven’t found any satisfying answer so far.I manage an IT-Infrastructure with three distinct sites and locations.In the past we have used Acronis Cyber Protect but are now switching over to Veeam.Every site is supposed to have its own Veeam B&R Server managing its clients and servers, but only one of them should have a dedicated hardware Tape-Server connected that writes the backups of all three to tape.While I loathe Acronis, WHEN it worked at all (big when), it didn’t care where the backups originated from and simply wrote everything in its SMB-share to tape.Veeam doesn’t like this, cause apparently you can’t set up a tape-job for “imported” backups.From what I gathered, I have three options that are all either worse than with our old solution or will outright not work, haven’t tried all of it so far.We could simply do the tapes as “file to tape” jobs and copy the backup files

Does anybody know if in the VEM 13 REST API, the JSON responses have been changed to follow a more accepted naming notation (sorry the notation name escapes me)So e.g. in version 12 a json element that used to be called Entities, it is now called entities, BackupJobSession becomes backupJobSession etc which is enough to make Javascript scripts fail.It seems every element starts with a lowercase letterAm I right that this is something that has changed between versions?Is there anyway to get a v12 style JSON from v13 VEM? ThanksCostas

While installing Veeam Backup & Replication v13.0.0.4967 from the ISO (Rocky Linux–based appliance), the installer stops mid-way with an “An unknown error has occurred” message from Anaconda.The traceback points to dnf/base.py related to remote package selection or repository fetching.This occurred during the “Downloading packages” stage. Who else has run into this error? Another error, you could run into is this “Appliance Installation Stuck on "Configuring addons" and the following KB addresses what to do correctly.

There is an option for cross hypervisors VM creation in instant recovery, what would be the performance (any impact on the performance?), compatibility issues, and what would be the required tools (if any)?
