Ghost job session started to run

Ok gang, I have a weird situation. I have a job where I removed a server and added another one that replaced it. Different server names, IP’s…. Everything was running fine for a long time but all of a sudden, when the job runs, it completes without issue. Then a second job runs with the same job name but showing the previous server and job settings (which of course fails due to the server no longer being there). It’s even doing the typical 3 tries before it gives up. Any ideas on how to get rid of the second run? Thanks in advance JD

Restricting Permissions on Repository Folder for more security

hi Veeam CommunityI have a backup server that uses the drives in the backup server as a repository, and the backup server works as a workgroup. I want the permissions on these drives to be only for the veeam service.I want to do this for more security.My question is whether such an idea is good?If it is good, what permissions should I give to these drives?

V365 job design

Hello, I need to install the product for new customer and I don’t find anything on internet about how to manage job for organisations “medium size”. My customer has 8 Active directory forest and all are sync inside the same Azure tenant. I need to backup all of them. Is it “better” to have only 1 Exchange job (same for sharepoin, ...) for all or better to create 1job / domain name (each forest has a different public domain). I mean : Exchange job - Target organization and select only mail + archive and add exclusion for what I don’t want. OR Exchange domain1 job - Target AAD group with domain1 users and repeat it for all other domain. What is the solution to be sure I backup actual object AND futures one. If I select organization → It’s ok. If I select group, I need to be sure user is inside the group (Dynamic group is ok). What about sharepoint site ? When I select a group and check sites, it will backup personnal sharepoint site right ? but for the other one how do you manage it ? I

Restoring SharePoint Folder Permissions

Are SharePoint permissions backed up using Veeam for Microsoft 365? Scenario: A group with inherited permissions is removed from a SharePoint folder but later found to be required. If we restore the folder, will it restore the security groups/permissions associated with that folder at the time of backup?

How to create direct connection from Veeam Agents to Wasabi

Is it possible to make the traffic from Veeam Agents go directly to Wasabi instead of going through our VSPC/VCC server? This will create a lot of network traffic and engress cost for us in Azure. In the manuals it says we should create cloud connect repository (with f.ex) wasabi. Was hoping that even this sets the Cloud Connect Repository in Veeam Agents, it would understand it was an object storge and route the backuptraffic directly to Wasabi itself.

Feature Request: limit agent backups not only for VPN / SSID but also for IP address range

Hello, it would be great to be able to limit for physical machines veeam agent backup not only for “disallow VPN” and certain SSIDs, but also by defining an allow list for IP ranges: Some sites have a slow S2S VPN connection, there no agent backups shall happen. Just for the sites with fast S2S VPNS. Examples: Main site = 10.28.0.0/16 (allow) fast satelite site = 192.168.10.0/24 (allow) fast satelite site = 192.168.55.0/24 (allow) slow satelite site = 192.168.99.0/24 (disallow) …. TIA, Rudi Stang

Change Veeam Community username / delete account?

Hi there, I recently created a new email address and I’m in the process of switching all accounts to this new email address. On the Veeam website, it is, unfortunately, not possible to change the email address, but I had to create a new account instead. It wasn’t a big tragedy because it is (was) my private email address anyway. I just wanted to register here on the Veeam Community again with that new email address (because it’s using the same account as on the Veeam website). But registering a new account wasn’t possible because my username was already taken (sure, because I took it back in the days). I also can’t change the username on my “old” Community profile. Can someone assist me in either changing the username on the “old” profile or deleting the “old” profile? Many thanks! Best regards, Karl vExpert, former Veeam Vanguard Old email: webmaster@kawi.ch New email: karl@widmers.me

Best way to give the Veeam backup server for Microsoft 365 an address (IP or name) for Restore Portal config??

We have begun our 30-day trial, going very well. Except we have no servers (all in the cloud) and need to assign an IP address to a Windows 11 PC which will serve as our Backup PC. Would like to hear from others who have been through this - how did you make that backup server addressable to create a restore portal? Can we somehow use one of our spare domains from Microsoft 365? We’ve been wracking our brains with little to no technical support and I think the question is best addressed in a group such as this. Any ideas?

Unable to delete credentials because they are currently in use

I cannot find it. It may be very old or a ghost one. What is the easy way to figure out the “in using an object” from the VBR Management console or PowerShell? Or is there any way to force delete the credentils?

Veeam errors, newbie here: Unable to apply retention policy. Failed to delete backup files

Hi, I have not been inside Veeam for a while. I am getting errors as in the snapshot below: I understand it is complaining about storage space for backups but I am trying to zero in on what to attack first here. The one that interests me is “Unable to apply retention policy: failed to delete backup files error…...is locked by running session xxx-xxx [Instant recovery]. Is Veeam just too busy to start the backup because it could not apply retention policy? Not sure which item to investigate first. ..ar

File Copy is very slow

By now i’m using “Veeam Backup & Rep” in the free community edition - for testing some things an maybe buying a commercial license in future. The problem is, that “File Copy Jobs” (not Backup Copy) are very very slow. For Example i have to Copy an ammount of single (168.000) files with about 180 GB together to a local target disk. If i use the integrated windows copy feature these Files are copied within about 4 or 5 hours. The FILE COPY Job from Veeam runs for 25 HOURS (by now) and shows a state of 32% ready. What could be the issue for this long duration? The source and target are the same. thanks in advance G.Huber

I have a bug in UEFI mode: unable to press any key when prompted, and finally fall backs to the Ventoy menu. (Boots fine in BIOS mode but useless cause of legacy BIOS boot with GPT image to recover) What to do ?

I had to restore the server that Veeam was on to a snapshot and now I cannot get Veeam to run the daily backup job. If I rescan repositories, it will sit forever and do nothing. Is there another way around this to get backups going again? Thank you!

How to Backup Server from Hetzner via VBR

Hello, I have a problem with configuring the Backup Job.We have one server hosted on Hetzner and I need to backup it just once and restore it. I don’t know what could be the prerequisites for this, do I need to expose our VBR ports to the Hetzner?Currently I manage to create protection group, added Hetzner server without any problems, rescaning is working, but when I try to create a backup job using Veeam agent it fails with the following error message:3/4/2024 14:03:40 :: Failed to send backup job configuration to X Error: Failed to update backup job Managed by agent job name: Agent Backup Policy 3.Invalid job configuration.Connection problems.Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.Failed to establish connection: no valid IP addresses were found.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 VBR IP Addres:10005

VMDK ID Changed

Hello, I need some advise if the VMDK ID is changed and Veeam is not able to find those VM anymore. Recently had to rebuild the host and add VM from the datastore, however their VMDK ID has been changed. Veeam is not longer detecting those VMs. I tired remapping the VM, however, its not continuing on previous chain and creating new restore point. Any advise if we can do anything about it?
