Hi All, I install veeam 13 appliance, and connect to it with Veeam Backup & Replication Console installled on windows, I can find backup job log on veeam 13 appliance (var/log/), but if my backup job created from windows console, I can’t find log , I check %ProgramData%\Veeam\Backup , but not find backup job log by job name, Backup jobs aren't synchronized between the web interface and the console, right?So where can I find the log files for backup jobs generated by the console?Thanks.

Hey! My company currently has a Veeam Premium license which includes all of the core Veeam products. I really want to certify to showcase my skills and improve them too, but they are refusing the pay 2.5k for the course material + exam.I can see there is a Veeam University Pro for customers and partners but to be perfectly honest it seems all cluttered the some of the links are dead and return to dead ends.What options do I have and is there a cheaper way to certify?Cheers,LGH.

Hi community,I’m running into an issue with Custom Roles in Veeam Backup & Replication v13, and I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction.I’m trying to create a restricted Backup Admin who should only see and manage specific backup jobs and specific repositories. However, I’m experiencing the following behavior:If I configure the custom role with limited permissions (selected jobs and/or selected repositories), → the user does not see any jobs at all. If I grant broader permissions (effectively “Full Access”), → the jobs appear, but then the user sees all jobs, not just the intended subset.I’ve tried several configurations, but the result is always the same:Either zero jobs are visible, or all jobs become visible when access is unrestricted.My goal is to allow a delegated admin to operate only a defined set of backup jobs and use only the repositories assigned to them — nothing else.Has

Is there a way to get better reporting for usage on hardened repositories? I recently had a Wasabi issue after upgrading to 12 and our console was showing 29.7tb’s of usage which is right under our 30tb bucket. Actual bucket size was 128tb which lead to additional billing.

If we use forward forever incremental backup on the tape, can we disable the full backup schedule? 

we are trying to configure the agent backup of the backup server VEEAM but getting below errorFailed Unable to install backup agent: failed to connect to VEEAM Error: The user name or password is incorrect. Failed to connect to share '\\10.1.0.2.1\ADMIN$'.  Is this configuration   not recommended ?

Hello, I currently have an R740 with a NetApp E Series directly attached and am looking to use it as a hardened repo (rocky os). I am concerned that the 740 is near end of life, so wondering how difficult and what would the steps be if I was to replace the server with a new one in a year or two down the line? 

Hello.I have three servers: one is EnterpriseManager, the second is VeeamBackup, and the third has the Veeam console installed. When I launch the Veeam console on the backup server, I get the error "failed to load license from backup services." I looked at the logs and see that the client versions match. I see that a connection attempt is being made, but the connection is being closed. I don't understand why. I tried TNC fqdn for the backup server - port 9392, as well as port 9396, and there were no errors..  I changed the names and IP addresses in the logs. I don't think they're needed for analysis.

HiI am planning to deploy Veeam Backup & Replication v13 using the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance with a Hardened Repository configuration.My question is about capacity expansion during production operation.If the backup storage becomes insufficient after the appliance has been deployed and is already in use,is it a supported operation to add an additional virtual disk to the appliance VM and expand the backup storage capacity (for example, extending the repository storage)?Specifically, I would like to understand:Whether adding a new virtual disk to the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance VM is officially supportedWhether this applies to a Hardened Repository configurationIf there are any restrictions, best practices, or unsupported scenarios we should be aware ofThe goal is to increase backup capacity without redeploying the appliance.If there is any official documentation or guidance from Veeam regarding this sce

Hi all, Sorry if this has been covered, I couldn’t find it in the search. I have a HyperV host and I want to use VAW to backup the D drive containing the HyperV VM files.  I have 2 USB disks I plan to rotate.  I’ve read the guides and I have registered both the USB disks as storage devices.  Last night it failed and I am suspecting it was due to the drive letter not being assigned when it got reconnected.  In theory, am I OK to simply leave one disk plugged in and VAW will do the backup to that disk, if there is a drive letter assigned?   Thanks.  

Hi, I tried using Veeam Agent for Windows on my 2025 Server to backup a D drive.  The backup destination was a couple of USB disks which I registered with VAW and I wanted to use the disks on rotation.  That backup job failed with some problem about VAW insisting on using the same USB disk each time, plus my colleague convinced me to use the community version of Veeam Backup & Replication, so I started again. I’ve installed VBR, created a repository using one of the USB disks and did my first backup.  All ok.  Then I re-ran the job 5 mins later with the same USB disk still plugged in, so no disk change/no rotation, as I wanted to see if it created the VIB file.  Nope!  I got this: Processing New Backup_Job_1 Error: Update of the storage [E:\Backups\SRV02\New SRV02.c5c62b19-d1f0-4e8e-864d-3da8e38f3D2026-03-30T222815_7C96.vib] is not supported.

Every time I try to open a case in my Veeam portal, I get a permission error that I can’t:Which is odd as I am the admin for our license, and I can’t raise a ticket to say I can’t raise a ticket as it always goes back to this error. Can’t use phone support as you need a case number from raising a case. Could someone from Veeam help sort this out? RegadsDamien

Hi Team,I am getting this warning during a Veeam Agent backup: Warning: Unable to truncate SQL server transaction logs. Details: Failed to truncate SQL server transaction logs for instance XYZ. The backup completes successfully and application aware processing is enabled, but the SQL logs are not truncating. Any idea what could cause this or what I should check next? Thanks.  

How we can make exclusion for virus warning when backup m365 using VBO? 

Hello everyone,I am currently configuring Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 (VBM365) for our company, and I have a question about the disk cache to optimise performance.According to the documentation, the standard installation does not allow the cache to be stored on another drive on the VBM365 server (it is located by default in the local PostgreSQL database on the C drive or on a dedicated PostgreSQL server). However, I would like to avoid deploying an additional PostgreSQL server for simplicity and maintenance reasons. My question:Does anybody use a dedicated cache disk on the VBM365 server? If so, how did you configure it (custom path, script, etc.)? Have you encountered any limitations or performance issues? I would appreciate your feedback or alternative solutions (without external PostgreSQL).Thank you in advance for your advice!Morgan

Hi Team, We are updating VBR from version 12.3.2.4165 to 12.3.2.4465 and we VAL and RMAN which are in version 6.3.2.1207 and 12.3.1.1139 My Question is after the VBR upgrade will RMAN and Linux agent backup works with existing version or do we need to update agents as well immediately 

I already have a ticket open on this, but while Im waiting does anyone have any suggestions on things to try. Unfortunately, to make things complicated this only started happening after we upgraded to V13 and also upgraded the firmware on our exagrids. We are using storage integrated backups with Pure. I have not updated the Storage Array plugin yet. I have rescanned everything I could possibly rescan and all backups still sit at 0% 

I am trying to restore Ubuntu VM to Azure but never got any success. We had issue with ver 12.3 where it never create helper appliance for the region so we upgraded to ver 13. It now try to create helper appliance but never complete succesfully. When restore process starts, it creates helper appliance in Azure with status running but never get pass that stage. Internet access is restricted to outbound access to windows update, azure & Veeam.I even tried restoring the Azure environment where we have ipsec tunnel but not luck, still fail with same error.  

TLDR;set up a linux server as a veeam repository on a proxmox server for local VBR proxmox proxy target? I searched around the community for a bit, so if I missed a good post can you point me at it? We stood up a new site last year and I initially deployed Hyper-V server to run a DC and a file share server at the remote site/branch. Using Hyper-V and Veeam I was happily surprised that Veeam deploys a proxy to back up Hyper-V (mostly was using vmware).I had a local disk attached to the Hyper-V server which acted as a Veeam backup repository. This as a pretty awesome surprise how easily and fast the Veeam backups and restores happened on the Hyper-V server using a USB 3 external hard drive.So Veeam would run jobs to hopefully back up the Hyper-V servers locally and then I would run a disk copy job to pull those backups back to the main site periodically for just in case scenarios, and would also copy the disk copy jobs to a rotating offlin
