What are the essential ports required for windows agent based backup in veeam between windows server and backup server ( windows ) , the protection group is already existing and few servers backups are running successfully, new servers are being added to protection group and agent installation / rescan is getting failed 

Instead of backing up the volume, it’s taking multiple copies of the data, one for each snapshot. I think you need to allow specification of which btrfs snapshots/subvolumes not to backup as otherwise you copy the volume multiple times which is really not sensible.

When I try to do this after specifying an output directory of /home/amonra I get:which doesn’t help lots.  What are you using /tmp when I explicitly gave an output directory where there’s loads of space.Now I guess I need to massively enlarge /tmp which is a problemD.

root@charon:/home/amonra# apt-get install blksnap veeamReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree... DoneReading state information... DoneE: Unable to locate package blksnapE: Unable to locate package veeamroot@charon:/home/amonra# So clearly I need to do something before I can install. The manual didn’t say where the repository was.

I just finished setting up our Veeam Enterprise Manager server and wanted to serve it as a website thats only accessible to our office WAN IPs. Does anyone know how one would accomplish this or if it is doable? I see the website in IIS and I do have a valid wildcard cert but support told me they could not help with design so I am unsure what the proper way to serve this webpage would be. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello,as in the title, given the software stopped being able to make backups after the April windows update that changed vss and a few other things , is there anyone knowing when the situation may get fixed ?And will be fixed with an update to Agent , or need to wait for a new monthly update from microsoft ? I’m a bit new but other vendors have been I think more vocal publishing info and/or in some cases updates to their software , while I think I didn’t see anything about Agent

Hi, I have a few chained vsphere backup and replication jobs that can be finished in 1 hour or 10 hours or 30 hours, so scheduling them is a bit of a pain in the butt. If the network/raid is already slow at the moment, I don’t want multiple jobs running at the same time, getting more over time, causing vsphere snapshot problems etc.Is it possible to define “Don’t start this job if there is any job running already”?And if not, is it possible to insert pauses between chained jobs, so you could create a loop where 5 jobs are executed one after another, then there’s a 3 hour break, then the first job is started again? ...ideally with a window where no job is allowed to start? Thanks in advance.

Anyone can help me to understand about this picture?When the tape retention is over then backup day 1 will be removed and this mean 1st full backup wlll be removed. Then how we can restore the VM to the Monday? Isn’t restoring the incremental need the last full backup? 

Hello, I have some File Backup and Proxmox VE Backup jobs configured in Veeam Backup & Replication. However, one of them shows an "Outdated data mover" error. When I go to Backup Infrastructure, rescan the Linux Server, and run the backup job, the error disappears and the backup runs normally.However, after a few minutes, the data mover error reappears, and the scheduled backups fail. In other words, every day I have to rescan the server to update the data mover service and perform the backup manually.I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Veeam Transport service directly on the server, I deleted the /opt/veeam folder and then rescanned the server in Veeam to reinstall the agent, but the problem persists.I'm using Veeam Backup e Replication version 13, but this error started occurring when I was using version 12.The server in question is running Debian 12.I have two other servers, one also with Debian 12 and another with Debian 13, where the file backup jobs ru

Backup and recovery move fast and the stakes are high. Additionally, every environment has its own mix of platforms, workloads, policies, and pressure points. For example, one team may be protecting a handful of critical virtual machines (VMs). Another may be juggling physical servers, cloud workloads, and strict retention requirements across multiple sites. That’s exactly why we at Veeam offer so many ways to protect and recover your data.However, this flexibility comes with choices, and you don’t have to choose on your own.Veeam Intelligence an AI-powered assistant layer embedded within Veeam products and technical documentation that’s designed to help you quickly find the right path for your environment.

Hi everyone,just wanted to share something we hit recently after deploying Veeam B&R v13 in a Hyper-V environment.The issueAfter the upgrade, Application-Aware Processing stopped working.Symptoms:No Hyper-V production checkpoints Multiple VMs affected Happening across different customersWhat we checkedWe went through all the usual stuff:Firewall → OK Permissions → OK VSS → OK Integration services → OKEverything looked fine… but still no AAP.The causeAfter a long search, we found a post from mazvazzeg that pointed us in the right direction.Turns out it’s a wrong registry value for the Hyper-V VSS service (vmicvss).Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vmicvssW

Hi Team,Currently we are facing an issue.We have multiple full backup file for NAS backup, with condition:Backup file 1 on repository A --> inactive backup chain.Backup file 2 on repository A --> actively running.Our goal is to move all backup files (1 & 2) to another repository, because we have concern about capacity on repository A almost full.Our customers do not want to lose all the backup data stored in Repository A.My question is:Is there a way to move or copy all backup files 1 and 2 from repository A to repository B without having to disable the existing backup job that is currently running? This is because when we copy the backups, it disables the existing backup job. Our customers’ file shares are very large (ranging from tens to hundreds of TB), so backups take several days to complete, and we don’t want to lose any RPO during the daily incremental.We already use back

Hello community,After upgrading a Veeam Backup & Replication environment from version 12 to version 13, we started experiencing some unexpected behavior related to remote script execution, user permissions, and MFA.

I am currently migrating my backup repository.Previously, I used a Linux Hardened Repository for primary backups, but I have now switched to an ExaGrid backup appliance. The primary backup to the new ExaGrid device has been successfully completed.Now, I want to reuse the backup data stored in the old Linux repository as a secondary target using the Backup CopyBefore: Primary (Linux Repository only)After: Primary (ExaGrid) --> Backup Copy --> Secondary (Linux Repository)However, when I try to select the existing Linux repository and use the "Map Backup" option in the Backup Copy job settings, it fails to recognize the existing backup data. I have already deleted the original backup job from the Linux repository, and the data is currently showing as Disk (Orphaned)The Veeam version is 12.3.2, and the backup source is a vSphere VM. My questions are:Is it impossible to reuse backu

Hi,Today I upgrade in my homelab (with NFR license) from Veam 12.3 to 13. I have 3 Proxmox node and three Proxmox backup job, Everything was running fine before the upgrade. Now with 13 I discovered that Proxmox is missing, when I click “add new server” and virtualization platform Proxmox is not there. Proxmox plug in is installed version 13.3.1.7 No idea what has happened with the upgrade. The upgrade process ran without an issue. Any idea? What I already did is uninstall the Veeam Proxmox plug-in and reinstalled installed after a restart of each step.
