Dear Community,Good morning.I hope this message finds you well. I have noticed that in Veeam ONE, there does not appear to be a specific reporting feature related to Transaction Log reports. If such a feature exists, I would greatly appreciate it if you could guide me on where to find it.Thank you in advance for your assistance and guidance. 

Hello everyone,I have been looking for some options that are activated only when the "CTRL" key is used simultaneously. In a quick search on the user guide for VMware, I found 22 occurrences, but not all occurrences activate specific functions. Does anyone have a list of all the additional functions activated when using the "CTRL" key? The rebalance option is available only when the “CTRL” key is used with right click pressed at the same time.

Hi, I recently upgraded to the most recent version of B&R community edition and I think as part of that process, one of my Windows PC did not failed to update its Agent properly.  Now, that Windows PC always shows up as offline and when I try to reinstall/update Agent from the console, I get “6/22/2024 5:19:43 PM Warning Failed to connect to MyPC Details: Failed to call RPC function 'PckgFind': Unknown property.” I know that PC is on and has network connection.  Is there a way for me to manually reinstall the Agent on that PC?  If so, where can I find the installation files?   Thank you!

Hello everyone,Two weeks ago, I finished delivering the course Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1: Configure, Manage and Recover.During the explanation of the need to back up the configuration database, using the configuration database's own backup mechanism through the main menu, a student said that he only backs up the Veeam Backup Server using the VMware backup job (Image backup) and in fact I have heard this same statement from other students, so I explained to the student that the backup server must be backed up using the configuration database backup, which is available in the main menu.Because of this type of behavior that I have encountered in the classes that I teach, I reinforce here that the backup server backup must be followed according to https://www.veeam.com/kb2645Pya closer attention here:

I just need to know which services are required to run Backup & Replication to a Linux Backup Repository.  We also use Enterprise Manager. How can we reduce unnecessary services?

Do you guys treat Veeam like the rest of your servers do do things differently?I know a good portion of us have our Veeam servers Non Domain joined, which will require treating it a bit different.  I also have extremely long jobs run to tape sometimes so a manual process to reboot and patch is needed for myself. For most of my servers I use  a WSUS deployment I have scripted all of my servers to check in weekly and to download the updates at a specified time. I use flags so they won’t download the updates if a reboot is currently pending incase a previous month is missed. I then use VMware to scheduled reboot the hosts as It’s much more consistent this way and easy to disable. I can also generate reports for people to know when their apps will be down. I was thinking about creating a script to preform the staged download of updates for my Veeam infrastructure, but we will see how time permitting my next while is.   

When I manually install Windows agent, it installs with GUI, thus I’m able to perform backups from that particular PC. But I need Agent to perform backups from B&R Console installed elsewhere. When I create the backup job from the Console, it makes a rescan of the PC with Agent installed, then does some ‘MSI packet repair’. So the Agent’s GUI disappears and Agent ‘transforms’ to the version compatible with Console.My question here is how can I at once install Agent to be used with Console? Is there some key can be used with MSI packet to directly install Consol-aware version of Agent?

Hi Everyone,I’m looking into using the HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus as a backup repository for Veeam and had a couple of questions:Has anyone tested this server with Veeam? Does it handle high-performance backup and restore operations well, especially for heavy workloads?What’s the best way to configure it for Veeam? I’m curious about things like usable storage capacity, support for 100 Gb NICs, and whether it’s suitable for high-concurrency environments.I’d love to hear about your experiences, any tips, or links to helpful resources!

Dear Community,Regarding GCP environment, if you have one GCP appliance.it appears that some of the required services for the XYZ project are currently disabled.The impacted services include:cloudbilling.googleapis.comcloudkms.googleapis.comserviceusage.googleapis.comsqladmin.googleapis.comspanner.googleapis.com   To resolve this, you'll need to enable these services in the Google Cloud Console. Here's how you can do that: Go to the Google Cloud Console: https://console.cloud.google.com/Navigate to API & Services > Dashboard.Look for each of the listed services and click on "Enable" next to each service. Alternatively, yo

Hello everyone, I have run into an issue that I can’t seem to figure out.  I have my system set up to backup on a daily basis but a backup has not run in the last 12 days.  The only change made 12 days ago was a reinstall of Slack on my laptop.  I have rebooted my system multiple times since that date along with performing an uninstall and reinstall of the agent.  I am including a screenshot of the Windows agent and my system uptime below.I am not sure why there would be a job still running at this point and could really use some help.  I am using Veeam B&R 11.5 CE and my laptop is running Windows 11 22H2.  I know that my version of Windows technically is not supported until B&R 12 with Windows agent version 6 but they have not been released yet.  I do know that the only thing that will not work with my version of Windows is the backup recovery media creation.  Everything else should work according to Dimitry Popov in the following post.

When we enable ‘Guest file system indexing and malware detection’, this mean if the VM source infected by malware then VBR will send alert to us and keeping backup running?If i want to test this, can i testing by simply put eicar file into the source VM?

Are there any other advanced backup storage calculators kind of like the one Veeam has?Calculator - VM (veeam.com)I’m trying to get a good estimation of storage needs. Don’t get me wrong, you can probably never have enough storage 😂 but with that comes budget. The one from Veeam I’m using total amount of space taken by current VMs in the datacenter. It doesn’t take into account growth (additional VMs) or reduction (consolidation/removal of VMs). Our SAN is right around 90TB but remote datacenters have local stroages for VMs at about 3TB and 1.5TB respectively.  Do I size based off SAN/local array storage?

Howdy,  I am trying to crack why my application aware backups aren’t working as expected. I am trying to back up MS SQL server including transaction logs. In the statistics → details overview, there’s plenty of these errors: 12/5/2024 2:10:27 PM :: Failed to connect to guest agent via GIP, failing over to guest runtime components through VIX via GIP12/5/2024 2:10:51 PM :: Failed to inject guest runtime components via GIP, failing over to guest agent connection via GIPFor the backup job, on the app aware screen, the “test credentials” works well for both of my database servers (i.e. ends up with green circle with white checkbox), however the T-LOG backup is incredibly slow. The environment is as follows: Veeam server isn’t domain joined, database servers are.  The databases in question operate in basic Always ON availability groups The account used to connecting to the servers is both local

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?

I’m using Veeam for backing up my virtual machines and I’m looking for a way to automate the backup process for multiple VMs at once. Can anyone guide me on how to set up automated backups for multiple VMs using Veeam, or point me to resources or best practices?

Hi Folks,just a quick Overview in Screenshots of the new Malware Detection Settings within V12.3. pre 12.3:the Tab Incident API & Notifications remain the same with V12.3  starting with V12.3:new Tabs with File Detection and Signature Detection.

Hello Everyone, I would like to check if anyone managed to configure SNMP v2c for Veeam Backup & Replication? I understand that Veeam Backup & Replication supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (including including v2c and v2p), however when configuring SNMP in Veeam Backup, there are no options for me to select Version 2, on my monitoring system end I'm able to see that VBR is sending SNMP v1. 

Dear Expert, Greetings! I have configured a lot of VAW server few of them server reset the portI checked this issue with the network security team and found that the traffic passed the firewalls, but there was a reset ports from the server side. Please put your feedback on this. Thank you.
