I have a strange issue and have been trying to solve it for a few days now.  Fresh install of Veeam Backup 12 for the purpose of migrating a few dev/test VMs from one ESXi server to another.  The install went proper, I created a Ubuntu 24 server on each ESXi server and installed the backup proxy components via the GUI in VBR which registered them there.  Since this is more of a migration project, there isn’t a need for a separate backup repository.  When creating a quick migration job, everything goes well until the backup proxy selection.  The only Backup Proxy that is available is the VBR server and not the actual proxy servers themselves.  Since the migration job is having to use the VBR server as the proxy, the performance is horrid.  I have performed:-repair on VBR 12-reconfigured the proxy servers from VBR GUI (no errors)-proxy servers are on same VLAN as VBR server so no firewall challenges Any thoughts on what I have missed?  Thank you all

 ANYONE, your assistance please ! "Failed to retrieve certificate" 1. Another offsite DB file backup to azure Blob storage A passed for another server(db server). 2. This same exchange server DB file successfully backups to an azure blob storage B from BUEXEC. Why not for veeam 12.1?

We are currently managing a Windows Agent backup policy configured in "Managed by Agent" job mode. The policy is set to perform a "File-Level Backup" and is configured to include the following objects:E:\ C:\Windows\System32\LogFilesWe need to modify the policy to include the operating system volume in the backup. To test this, we cloned the job and made changes to the policy using a test machine. However, we encountered an issue: when we add the "Operating System" as an object in the "File-Level Backup" mode, running the job triggers a new active full backup of all volumes.We observed the same behavior when changing the job mode to "Volume-Level Backup" or "Entire Computer"—an active full backup of all volumes is triggered on the next run.Our primary concern is avoiding the need for an active full backup of the E:\ drive, which contains around 6TB of data. The servers are located at remote sites with slow links, making it impractical to re-seed the entire E:\ drive.Could you please ad

Hello, well, the fun never ends.I moved a VM named ‘user01-Virtual-Machine agent_vserver03’ from one folder to another folder on the same drive letter V:The vm itself runs fine, no issues.Now, the backup fails.I tried to search about the error and for 'HvGetVolumesByPaths', but foud nothing at all.Error: Failed to call RPC function 'HvGetVolumesByPaths': The file or directory is not a reparse point. Failed to retrieve reparse point data. I re-scaned the hyper-v server, ‘VSERVER03’ but nothing changed.Note: this is a homelab, i am willing to delete and re-do whatever.But, no idea what to try next. Maybe I should the following, but hoping there is a less drastic solution?export vm delete vm import vm in VBR, re-scan the standalone hyperv server re-create a backup job and backup copy job  

There are many Nutanix VMs in a backup job that are successful but any VM isn't.Please help to advise me. Thanks

Somewhat not Veeam related, but I figured there is a good group of folks in here to ask.  Earlier we were discussing the largest VM’s we backup in VBR, and I noted that I was looking for maybe a solution to for offloading large amounts of archive data to Wasabi, but still wanting to access the data as a share.  I sent a quick message over to my Wasabi rep and he referred me to the Wasabi Cloud NAS service which I do actually remember hearing about a few weeks ago but forgot about.  Does anyone have any practical experience with it?And to keep it Veeam related, I was going to ask if anyone had any experience with how to back the service up, although when creating this post, I got a suggested topic…..which is only 6 days old and yet I missed it!But protecting 50TB of data is pretty expensive when using NAS backups, and for archive data that rarely access, so I’m thinking deploy the Veeam Agent for Windows on the server and backup up that volume that way…..though it would need to be teste

Hello,A while ago I set up a immutable repository on a Ubuntu host 24.04. For that I created a separate partition with separate user login for client A.All worked fine over months. Yesterday on the same server I created a new partition with a new user login for client B. I could add the repository to VBR 12.0 on the client side. Today I see that for client B VBR cannot find the repository. Host discovery fails. “an unknown error occured while processing the certificate” I’m not sure what happened, but it has certainly something to do with adding a new repository for client B. First, is it generally possible to have several clients on the same Ubuntu server with separate partition and user logins? How can I fix it for client A without breaking for Client B? Thanks,Edy  

Hi,How can I reset the configuration under Linux on the command line. i want to be able to go through the initial configuration wizard again which came up after the first installation.

Hello,I have a very small environment consisting a of 1 Hyper-V server.  I have direct attached storage, a QNAP NAS with NFS & Object Store capabilities and a subscription with Wasabi.  Ideally I’d like to configure a backup which creates a copy on the direct attached storage, copy on the QNAP and a copy in Wasabi.  I’m seeking recommendation on how to configure the backup job.  So far I’ve created a SOBR consisting of the direct attached storage + QNAP.  I also have a Backup Copy job which uploads the SOBR to Wasabi but I’m not certain if any of this is a best practice.   The Backup Copy job is configured as a secondary location for the primary backup job.  Thanks

Hi all. I’ve got a Veeam backup & replication CE that backup some VM on VMware ESXi.This backups are copied offsite to another site using a IPSEC VPN, a proxy is placed on other site and storage is a NAS.At least once a week, randomly, backup copy job fail because can’t connect to Veeam proxy.At this this I’m using Linux as a proxy but also with Windows we’ve issue. What found in logs are this rows: [26.08.2024 08:31:56.875]    <24>   Error (3)    [ReconnectableSocket][PacketAsyncReceiver] Exception on [af09e7b0-f7ed-4e85-969f-96d3cff82943].[26.08.2024 08:31:56.875]    <24>   Error (3)    A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond (System.Net.Sockets.SocketException)[26.08.2024 08:31:56.875]    <24>   Error (3)       at Veeam.Backup.Common.Reconnect.CPacketAsyncReceiver.PushData(CSocketAsyncEventArgsEx e)[26.08.2024 08:31:56.8

Anyone had experience of using Veritas 5250/5x50 appliances with Veeam? I believe the appliances can support SMB/NFS so as long as that is available then yes….if anyone has any thoughts or experiences please let me know.

Hello together, I have the following Problem.I want to migrate a Workstation to am VM in Proxmox.I found the following Thread with nearly the same questionNow my Problem:When I start the VM it boots into the Veeam restore option but the Agent shows the Error “Failed to resolve ClientID. Machine doesn´t have identifiers”.Like in the Thread above I switched the VM-Bios from SeaBios to Uefi but then the VM doesn´t boot into Veeam.Is there a possibility to solve the Error Thank you for your help. Markus

Hi all,Anybody faced issues with the usage of certain TIERs from a SOBR on another VBR server ? Here’s what we want to achieve:Customer is upgrading to brand new VBR server (new hardware)Together with this shift, he want’s to move from S3 provider.All configured well, but what with the existing SOBR were we only want to keep the archive tier. Both Capacity and Archive tier are S3 compatible repo’s (encrypted). We just want to break up the SOBR and mount the S3 Archive tier to the new VBR and perfrom a rescan. All backup points should then be visible as ‘imported’ backups.This gives the customer the opportunity to keep the possibility to restore from his previous archive tier when necessary and get rid of the costly capacity tier. Any things we should keep in mind ? I guess a rescan of the repo will populate the internal DB with the necessary info to perform restores via the new VBR.   

Hello everyone,For those who don't know, I'm the creator of the website Ransomware.live, and I'm excited to share some major updates and improvements I've been working on over the past few months:  Major Code Overhaul: I’ve rewritten 80% of the code to enhance efficiency and performance. This should result in a smoother and faster experience for everyone using the platform. Integration of TTPs: I’ve integrated Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) from the Ransomware Tool Box, thanks to the valuable contributions from my friend Will. This addition provides more comprehensive insights into ransomware operations.  Adding YARA Rules: YARA rules have been added from various reliable sources, strengthening the platform’s ability to help to detect and analyze ransomware threats. Database Expansion: The database now includes ransomware attacks dating back to before 2021. This expansion offers a more historical perspective on ransomware activity, allowing for deeper analysis and trend tra

I haven’t found an answer to this, so asking here.I was asked if we can change the retention on an existing backup to keep it longer than the original retention time.For example, we are running forward incrementals daily with a synthetic full every Saturday. The retention is set to 30 days. We are using Veeam 12.1 with immutable Linux repository.If someone comes to me and asks for us to keep last Wednesday’s backup for 90 days due to an ongoing project they have, can I retroactively change the retention on that backup to 90 days? (I understand that the prior Saturday-Wednesday files would/should also be retained to keep the chain intact).Thanks.

Hi guys,First, I’m not sure if I should be posting here or forums.veeam.com?  Either way, here’s my setup: Hyper-V host domain-joined to customer infrastructure, running Windows Server 2022, patched with July 2024 cumulative patches.  Security software includes S1, Threatlocker, and Huntress.  Threatlocker is in “learning” mode and is not blocking anything. Backup server is also running Windows Server 2022 patched with the latest July 2024 cumulative update.  Security software includes SentinelOne and Duo authentication to enable MFA for local user logins. Backup box is *not* domain joined at all.I’ve been told this is a UAC issue, but using a domain user bypasses this problem. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. No matter what I do, I can’t get the backup server to authenticate with the Hyper-V host using a domain account.  I can get it to authenticate, browse \\hypervip\ADMIN$ share, and connect with Veeam with the built-in, named Administrator account and I can get it to authenticat

We have had an error message when backing up Office365 for 2 days  JetError -528, JET_errMissingLogFile, Current log file missingWe backup to a NASThe backup repository has the same error message, but the NAS is fully accessible and our normal Veeam Backup & Repository continues to back up to the same NASDoes anyone have an idea?
