Hello,I cannot add an esxi host on veeam with each operation I get the error No connection could be established because the target computer expressly refused it.NB: I can connect to my esxi host via web using the default port. Thanks

Hey ! Do you know if it’s possible to change the Settings Related to Veeam for M365 Log Files ?I found a KB for VBR but nothing for M365. https://www.veeam.com/kb1825Thanks.

Hello,Next year i will buy dedicated BareMetal server for VBR, tape drive and Azure HCI node for hypervisor.Currently i propose install VBR on BareMetal server and use local hdd as repository and as tape server also.Also i have another thought to install linux on the BareMetal and install VBR on the VM inside Azure HCI. But with this scenario, can i use that linux server as tape server also?Which two scenario above is best and whether anyone here have another best scenario also?

Hi All. How many of you are using Linux Repositories in your own production environments? Is there any thing you would change or do differently right now?For those of you who have made the switch did you notice any performance differences? I have many SAN’s arriving my way in the next few weeks. Many PB’s of storage.  For Veeam I’m going to be using NVMe flash at our production.  We want the ability to run a good amount of prod from backups for labs, testing, fast recovery in a critical event.  I also have tape jobs running air gapped copies at multiple sites. . .  For DR, it’s less common to run out there so it’s not going to be quite as fast on the storage side.  As I’m using SAN’s, I need to attach servers. Currently with Windows servers things have been great, but the idea of immutable storage is nice.   This gives me an opportunity to potentially change 1 or both sites even to Linux . Currently now I have an all in 1 setup at each site.  It actually works good, but running Proxy,

Hello,We have restored a SharePoint file to another site, and the creation date of this file has been changed. Do you have an explanation for this behavior? Thank you in advance.

 @Rick Vanover @safiya @Madi.Cristil since Veeam is supporting many virtualization platforms would it be possible to create a section dedicated to hypervisors to share impressions, guides, suggestions on this topic?could be interesting.What does the community think about this?@Geoff Burke @MicoolPaul @Chris.Childerhose @JMeixner @Iams3le @dloseke @marcofabbri @Scott @dips @coolsport00 @Nico Losschaert /discuss

I am a new user on Veeam Backup and Replication 12, as I wanted to use as tool to backup my NAS device under Unstructured Data Backup route. I have some questions after creating my backup job.Since the application was installed on my own Windows PC, I cannot keep it open all time when the backup work is on the way, while I afraid if my backup files may get corrupted after many interruptions. So I want to know if any possible way that the backup will not interrupted even my PC was shut down? Is adding a backup proxy a solution? Due to thinking the above, I rented a cloud server, using Windows Server 2022, but when I tried to add it as backup proxy with my credentials related to access of my rental cloud server, it did not work. I wonder what is the issue?

Hi all, a customer with a physical node with SLES for SAP needs to migrate the system to new hardware.Unfortunately I don't have much experience on SAP, and not much information on OS and software versions at the moment either.The OS is installed on local disks of the node, while the db data resides on external storage (SAN).Is it suggested to use VAL to migrate via volume restore?What are the caveats and/or points to watch out for?Can application consistency be achieved?ThanksMarco S.

Hello,is there a way to failback after a manual failover?On my situation, I have one host (esxi) with some vms including the Veeam vm (all components: proxy, server, consolle etc) and another one host where I store some replicas vms. In case the first host become offline (including the Veeam vm), I could power on manually replicas on the other host, but how to failback to the original host when it become online again? Obviously Veeam server at this point doesn’t know that I have done failover.. is there a way to consolidate each replica on original vm ?I know it is not the best situation but at the moment there is no other options.thanks!

vCLS appliance showed up in one of our backup jobs. This caused the backup job to show as failed.To workaround the issue, we excluded the vCLS appliance from the job. For some reason, this should have been in the vCLS folder but it appeared in a the Discovered Virtual Machine folder in vCenter. There are other vCLS appliances in the same volume but since they are all in the vCLS folder, Veeam does not back those up.Our vSphere admins looked at the issue and not sure what is going on in here. I think this should be a question to the vmware experts but wondering if any of you guys have seen this behavior. What do you think is going on in here? 

Hi, we have applied the available security patches and upgraded our Veeam backup Azure version 6 to 7 Yesterday. Since then, we are unable to go to the url that the FLR creates for any of our restore requests using Veeam appliance portal. We have not made any change in Azure or in Veeam side except applying these updates. We have checked and all permission for service accounts are fine, the NSG in Azure clearly shows allowing port 443 for the worker instances vnet /subnet so we cant really think of anything else that could cause this issue. We have raised a support case with Veeam as well and they have asked us to try the worker IP address to browse to the URL that we also tried without any luck: Any advice would be highly appreciated. Many thanks

Hi, we have TBs of data in our on-prem Veeam repositories that we would like to move to Azure (archive tier). We added object storage repo and choose Archive Tier but when we try to use copy /move data option to migrate off this data from our on-prem repos to this archive repo, this doesn't show up in the available target locations. We would like to get some advice on some of the available options that we can use to move our data to azure. We will hardly need this data to restore from but as a business requirement, we need to keep this for a few years. Thanks

Hi, I notice that when I backup the same machine with different jobs (each job contains the same machine) via Agent that B&R stores the backup copies under different directories and hence multiple copies of that machines backup up are saved.  Is there a way to get around this so only one copy is saved? Thanks

As we all (must) know, when you have e.g. yearly and monthly restore points for multiple machines in one chain on a ‘classic’ backup repo, you can delete the monthly backups from this repo by deleting the according files (VBK, VIB, VBM). This allows to manually keep the repo and only allocate storage for yearly backups.How do you achieve this on object storage ? I can delete machines from a backup, but then all restorepoints are affected. The same granularity to delete some points in the chain would be nice.This helps to save storage on public cloud storage accounts that were previous used to store monthly and yearly backups, but now to keep more backup points, the customer only want’s to keep the yearly backups because he already builded a monthly chain on another repo.

The malware detection consistently flags the same files with known malware extensions as suspicious. Despite marking the servers clean multiple times, the detections persist. Is this behavior intended or possibly a bug?

Hi ALL,I am running VBR11 and VBAz 4.0, recently all my AzureVM backup started failing. I still have over 3months of license validity.I can no longer connect to the VBA from my VBR console only can access from the browser.We are getting the following error; "Client secret has expired. Use a valid client secret or renew the application on the Service Account Type tab.This was done however the issue still persists.My Infra is still running older systems so upgrade was not an option hence no support available.Any thoughts?

Hi all, I want to keep my backups for a year.Storage disks are expensive, so I can't keep this daily, and I gonna use GFS. If I want to keep 1 recovery point per week for 1 year, should I set it to “48 weeks” (4 weeks * 12 months) in the 'Configure GFS' wizard?? Does it make sense to assign a Monthly GFS flag if I assign a 48 Weekly GFS flags?I'm still not sure of the best practice on how to use GFS ! ; ( Please, any advice would be appreciated.Thank you.​

Hallo,bei einem Hyper-V Server bei einem Host kommt die Fehlermeldung:Processing Error: invalid XML content.Version 12.1.2.172 ist installeiertWie kann ich den Fehler beheben. Vielen DankFrank

Hi, I have a protection group setup with multiple Windows PC’s (all running Agents managed by B&R) and I would like to perform a full backup on one of the machines (vs. all machines).  Is that possible?  I know I can select the machine and do a Quick Backup, but I think that does an incremental backup and not a full backup.  I would like to do this because I found that the existing backup is corrupt (I get a decompression error when I try to restore it). Separately, is it possible to delete the corrupted backup from the Backup Repository?  And is it possible to scan all the backups to make sure no other ones are corrupt? Thank you and happy 4th for those in the US!   

Hi,Has anybody successfully integrated Trend Deep Security so that Veeam can scan backups?Veeam support had no answers, reach out to trend which weren't helpful.  If you have, could you please share the AntivirusInfo.xml settings you have setup? Thank YouChris 

I'm getting the following error in my Veeam replication job. This problem is sometimes solved. But I started to get a few more replication jobs. Has anyone seen this error before and know the solution? 

Hello. I create backup job with RMAN plugin. When I started backup it is running normal and taking backup. I also selected in configuration to delete archive logs after completing backup. Backup completed successfully but not delete archive logs from DB. Can you please help me to solve this problem ? Thanks in advance

Hi, I’m looking at a problem where the retention policy only gets applied hours after the job completes, seems to be just after midnight. It’s a reverse incremental job, repository is set to per VM. It causes a nerror as the tape job(not using veeam) tries to copy the file but it’s missing. The job is set to 28 days retention and its always the last vrb that is missing. Is this the normal expected behavior ? I suspecting that maybe it is as the restore point gets deleted soon after midnight. thanks
