First Backup Job -Successful but no files in repository disk

Hi, can someone tell me how to troubleshoot this? I installed Veeam on Windows 11 Home and defined its configuration, then resolved issues it reported. When I ran the backup job it reported success but no backups were created. I followed the quick start guide for a simple setup using my Dell for all components and tried backing up my C:\ drive to another drive where I would copy backup files to an ssd to keep offline.

Backing up Windows 2022 Server Standard with Hyper-V VMs on Veeam 11

My home lab: Veeam 11 server is on Windows 10. I have 6 Ubuntu VMs on my HP Z840 workstation with Windows 2022 Standard Hyper-V. How do I backup each VM separate so I can recover them. Both are in a workgroup. Veeam won’t recognize the 2022 Standard as a Hyper-V server. Veeam 11 can see it as a 2022 Standard Server. Do I need to install a Hyper-V agent or Windows Server agent on this box?

Veeam Training: Looking for the Good Old Classroom Experience!

Looking for in-person Veeam VBR or Veeam ONE training in Canada. I know there are plenty of virtual options, but I’m a bit 'old school' and prefer a traditional classroom setting. Is it still possible to attend these courses in person in Canada or the US?Thanks for your tips!!

Situation with mail notification in VBR. Is it strange or normal?

Copy job VM is failing with error server.vmdk either was not backed up successfully or restore chain is corrupted

Copy job VM is failing with error server_flat.vmdk either was not backed up successfully or restore chain is corrupted. Failed to download disk server_flat.vmdk The copy job repo is immutable based and cannot delete the single VM from disk ( copy ) so that sync now option can run.The retention set is 30 days and forever incremental is enabled. The VM size is huge and trigerring active full in source backup job will make the old .vbk + .vib to delete only when new .vbk + .vib attains 30 days consuming space in local repo ( non-immutable )Is changing the repo for source backup a feasible option ( would make existing backups to move to new repo ) and then trigger an active full only for the affected VM ?What are the other options available ?

activation MFA in Veeam Host Management failled

Hello everyone,I have a question regarding MFA in Veeam Host Management.During the initial installation, I enabled MFA on the default veeamadmin account. However, my goal is to use veeamadmin only as a break-glass account and instead create separate admin accounts with MFA enabled.The issue I’m facing is the following:When I enable MFA on another admin account, either:the verification code is sent to the veeamadmin account, or the MFA validation fails completely.This prevents me from properly configuring MFA for individual admin users.Has anyone encountered this behavior?Is there a recommended way to configure MFA for multiple admin accounts while keeping veeamadmin as a fallback account?Thanks in advance for your help.

Background checkpoint removal. Backup server:

Hi,Over the past week, the checkpoint removal process has been completing with warnings. I receive notifications 2–3 times, and then it returns to normal and completes successfully without warnings.However, for the past 4 days, I’ve been receiving the same warnings again. I’ve checked everything, and everything seems normal. When I review the statistics, there’s no clear reason for these warnings.Could someone help me understand what might be causing this issue?Thank you in advance.
