  Hi folks,I hope you are well, for the lucky ones enjoy the VeeamON.I am performing restoration tests with Veeam from a Data Domain to an Hyper-V environment in order to take advantage of Veeam's acceleration mechanisms I am using the Entire VM restoration method.But I have a doubt how Veeam process the restore when a VM have multiple disks attached. I have read the documentation:https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/hyperv/dell_dd_accelerated_restore.html?ver=120On the schema is mentionned Parallel disk restore.In the explanation :3. Every VM disk is processed in a separate task. For each task, Veeam Backup & Replication starts one Veeam Data Mover on the backup proxy. Additionaly, Veeam Backup & Replication starts Data Mover on the gateway server,

Hello everyoneI have been trying to use the lab that Veeam provides for free for a few days now, but every time I request it, no link is sent to my email so that I can enter the lab. Does anyone know what the problem is?I am requesting a laboratory through the link below.https://go.veeam.com/hands-on-lab-experience

Hello,i would like to ask, if anybody has experience, if there is different between selection of proxy server per job or per repository.Is there different between priority or some deep thing?i am just thinking, if its better to use selection of proxy per job A (same proxies for all jobs on side A) or only select proxies in affinity per repo/extent for side A?thank you  

We are trying to restore a VM onto our storage, at 99% the following error appears: Failed to update VM configuration Restore job failed Error: Failed to get planned VM (ID: 8e92ff70-b052-48f4-82a0-fd......

I currently have a VBR v12 server running as an ESXI VM. Looking to move it off VMware to new hardware. Was thinking the easiest way might be to setup the new server as a Hyper-V host and then use the converters available (starwinds etc) to make it into a Hyper-V VM. Thoughts? 

I’m installing a new Veeam solution with Hyper-V. I’m not sure which proxy is best. on-host or off-host. Does anyone have any experiences?thanks

M365 Backup - What is the normal throughputI have a small mailbox backup job running at the moment, 200 users, but the plan is to expand this to 2500 users.But I only have a throughput around 15-20 MB/s. EWS throttling is disabled.Is this normal, please let me know what transfer speed you have?

Dears:I have a question about how to implement: We want to separate network backup traffic and backup traffic for backup repository server.For example, we will set one IP: 1.0.0.1 on backup repository server with DNS host name to handle all backup traffic. At the same time, we want to use another IP: 2.0.0.1 on backup repository server to replicate data to the secondary repository server using backup copy.Any ideas how to implement?Thank you very much!

With Veeam v13, will this allow us to migrate from our Veeam Windows-based environment (B&R manager, proxy, gateway, repository, etc...) to a Veeam Linux-based environment, if this migration process takes several months? 

I have single backup job contains 5 VMs, one of VM let say VM3 have big size (around 10TB).It’s possible to move out the VM3 from existing job and create a separate job for this VM without doing the initial backup (by use existing backup chain on prev job)?

Hello,This is a good way to kick the tires with Veeam Backup for Nutanix v4 and AHV. The prior version of CE was below AOS 6.x. You could not demo Instant VM Recovery because this feature was available with VBN AHV v3.x and required AOS AHV 6.x. It can be installed on an ESXi server. Please follow the links below. It does require that you register with a Nutanix account😀. Caution: It is not recommended to register CE clusters with Prism Central, which is being used for commercial licensed clusters.Caution: No upgrade path to CE 2.0 will be provided from the older CE or Prism Central for CE.Nutanix CE Download Page

 🚨 The Challenge: Limited Support Access During Critical POCsAs a VMCE-certified engineer and active partner, I’ve had the opportunity to deploy Veeam solutions across various environments, often in time-sensitive Proof of Concept (POC) scenarios. These are crucial moments—not just for testing features, but for building trust and confidence with potential customers.However, one recurring challenge we face is limited support access during these POCs. Without a production license, even VMCE partners are often restricted from opening support cases unless routed through a customer with a valid production support contract.This becomes a bottleneck—especially when dealing with complex configurations, replication issues, or backup repository anomalies that need quick resolution. ✅ The Proposal: Grant Production-Level Case Privileges to VMCE Partners (During POCs)

We have been using Veeam for almost 2 years now.  We recently had to redo our Hardened repository due to a poor setup the first time around.  We got the repository reformatted and setup correct but now we cant do a 1:1 copy from the primary data store.  I would think that when you do the backup job and select copy the whole primary data store it would indeed do that, but Veeam support told me it will only copy day forward. We are just looking to have the Hardened Repo be a 1:1 of the primary datastore.  Support told me the only way to do that is to do a file copy of each job to said repository.  This of course would duplicate anything that was already on this repo.  Is there another way to accomplish this?  Or does anyone know if there’s anything on the horizon for Veeam to make it copy 1:1 like one would think a “copy” of the main datastore would be?

I currently have a Quantum Scalar i3 tape library with 4 drives. I need to add 2 more drives to the library in Veeam. We bought a new SAS card, and have not yet installed it into the tape server. When I do, and connect the 2 new drives to it, I am unclear as to what I will need to do in Veeam to get it to recognize that there are now 2 more drives in the library, so I can add them to the correct media pool. Will it automatically see them?

Hi everyone, I started the update, and it has been sitting at step 1 for over an hour. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Thanks in advance! 

Currently i have 9 TB azure file share and want to make backup copy for my VBR and configure this file share as backup copy repository.But in the backup infrastructure there are external repository and VBR can connect to the azure blob storage.So i want to know what pro and cons using azure blob vs azure file share? Which one is more recommended?

Hello Veeam Community,I would like to share some insights regarding the use of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) storage as a backup target for Veeam Backup & Replication, particularly in scenarios involving GFS retention policies with yearly backups. As we all know, Veeam supports object storage integration with multiple cloud providers, and GCP is one of the key platforms many organizations are exploring due to its flexibility, pricing models, and deep integration with Veeam. Before diving into the impact of GFS retention, let’s quickly review the main types of GCP Cloud Storage that can be used for backup purposes:Standard Storage:     - Best for frequently accessed data.      - Ideal for short-term storage or backups with high change rates.Nearline Storage:     - Cost-effective for data accessed less than once a month.      - Suitable for monthly or quarterly backup

Backup to object storage requires a valid enterprise edition license Veeam job has been stopped with failures.Error: "Provider load failure."→ Backup Copy Job (Object Storage ) hello This is rich.kim who loves veeam. While using a Veeam permanent license, the error message below suddenly occurred in the object storage of the secondary backup (backup copy). This is a perpetual license that I am using without any problems. Why does a license-related message appear? I can't understand.~ 

Dear Community, After upgrading my VBR server, I faced challenges upgrading the associated GCP appliance due to tricky infrastructure and policy level restrictions.I worked with Veeam support for over two months, sharing multiple log bundles, conducting several remote sessions, and troubleshooting persistent upgrade failures.I would like to highlight the key issues, steps, and eventual resolution to help others facing a similar situation.Challenges Faced:The GCP appliance upgrade consistently failed due to missing permissions and internet access on newly created instances. Policies at the organization/project level restricted public internet access, which was mandatory during the upgrade process. The appliance couldn’t reach Veeam repositories and update servers. Sessions with Veeam support revealed dependencies on temporary VM creation and public IP accessibility.Here are

AVS Cloudadmin role not working with Veeam VBR inside AVS. The cloudadmin role was created using the cloudadmin@vsphere.local priviliges as the template. So any account you assign the cloudadmin role should also work if the cloudadmin@vsphere.local is working.  Our Veeam VBR in AVS works if we use the cloudadmin@vsphere.local account but if we assign a service account to the cloudadmin role, it does not. The error is shown below:Failed to open VDDK disk [[vsanDatastore] c5ca9666-0633-ee72-8079-08c0eb414cda/Logon attempt with parameters [VC/ESX: [vc.4bc149b438784b2e87ed53.westus2.avs.aFailed to open disk for read.Failed to upload disk 'vddkConnSpec>'Agent

HiI am a newcomer to Veeam. I am backing up to a remotely located NAS using iSCSI. The speed is sitting at < 1mb/s and has been for days. There are no checks in the limit read and write speed under the repository settings and there are no bandwidth restrictions under network traffic rules. Are there any other settings that could be causing this restriction? Many thanks  

We're installing a storeonce 3660 FC and noticed quite a poor performance during network-free backup.The setup is as following:Primay storage alletra 5000 16Gb FCBackup Gateway server 8Gb FCStoreonce 3660 16Gb FCVeeam 12.2.The storeonce has been configured as repository with FC activated and the gateway server can reach it correctly, SAN has been zoned.The JOB is configured with storage integration and it creates the Alletra snapshot mounting it to the gateway server.Given such configuration the backup job is running at about 200MB/s where the same job using a diskbased target via FC as well is running at 1GB/s, which make sens of the 8Gb gateway server's HBAThe SAN Fabric is made of 2 switches, one is an 8Gb Blade switch and the second is a SN3000 16Gb switch.Th Gateway server is connected to the Blade Switch while the Alletra and the Storeonce are connected to the external 16Gb switch
