VBR13 backup server certificate fails to install

Veeam newbie and first-time poster here (go easy on me!) … I am trying to attach an Ubuntu Linux 24.04 “minimal” server to a VBR13 test environment. This server is only intended to provide backup storage for VBR. While attempting to add the host as a managed server, I get the following error: “Setting backup server certificate Error: Remote failed with message: /opt/veeam/deployment/veeamdeploymentsvc: boost::filesystem::copy_file: Invalid cross-device link: "/tmp/VeeamUpload_20250328T170010Z/ServerCertificate", "/etc/veeam/certs/cert.p12"--tr:Failed to install server certificate” /tmp and / (where /opt and /etc reside) are separate logical volumes. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? VBR13 imported OVA (VMware), Console (Windows Server 2019), and Ubuntu server all on local LAN. Managed credentials for Ubuntu added in VBR Console seem to work. Thanks in advance!

Error: The network is at full capacity Asynchronous request operation has failed

Hello, I keep receiving the following error: 07.09.2023 10:22:46 :: Error: The network is at full capacityAsynchronous request operation has failed.

I have a second hardware server that I can back up to a second Synology with completely the same settings in an SMB3 share without any problem. The only difference is that NAS1 uses ext4 and NAS2 uses btrfs. What can I change to make things work again?

Veeam Version 12.1 - Malware Detections Query

Hello Veeam Community, I am reaching out with a concern regarding our Veeam version 12.1, as we are consistently receiving malware detection alerts on our VMs. The notifications specifically indicate: Potential malware activity detected: Too many files have had their names changed since the last backup; ensure they were not encrypted by ransomware. Potential malware activity detected: *.ttt (TeslaCrypt 3.0): 40 instances. Potential malware activity detected: *..txt: 2 instances. I have conducted thorough scans on both the VM and the backup, and no malicious activity was found. Could you please provide insights or guidance on whether this is a matter of concern, and if there are additional steps I should take to address this issue? Your assistance in resolving this matter is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support.

Immutability on copy jobs - disk space requirements?

Sorry for the simple question, that’s no doubt been asked and answered before… Today we have VCC for our off-site cloud backups, and the immutability is provided by the “Insider protection” which in short means we pay for the privilege but we do not need to worry about disk space consumption over and above our actual backups. For lower cost we’re considering object storage, probably Wasabi, and we’ll want immutability there also. The thing I need to be sure of, is the disk space required. I am not sure if the copy jobs would have a specific backup mode, but with incremental, if they’re immutable, you’re previously overwritten backups are kept for longer? Disk space could be double what you have before? Thanks in advance for any insight on real world disk space requirements. Today, 27TB approx. is our VCC repo and as I say, the immutable data is retained at a fixed additional cost so we don’t know the size of that.

Failed to save Veeam CDP proxy: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

I’ve been googling and am about to open a support case, but I’m checking here first. I have just built my first linux proxy servers using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Super easy, works great. Except I have two more that I’m trying to build as CDP proxy’s. I can setup as regular VMware Proxy’s, but when I attempt to install the CDP Proxy, I get the below errors. Error Failed to save Veeam CDP proxy: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it <IP Address>:6182 Error Infrastructure item save failed Error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it <IP Address>:6182 This is my first time using Linux CDP proxy’s. I did have Windows Proxy’s in place but was having an issue with starting the CDP service on those machines after upgrading to 12.1 and decided to just remove those VM’s because they were 2012 R2 and are being replaced/retired anyway. Unfortunately, I’m not super well-versed in Linux so I’m learning here. This sounds like a netwo

Alternative to Veeam VM Migrator Utility

I need to migrate multiple VMs from the old vCenter to the new one and want to keep the existing Veeam backup chain. Is there an easier method than the Veeam VM Migrator Utility?

Veeam Agent for Windows / Encryption set by Client

Hi Community, a customer has the following requirements: some Windows Notebooks have confidential data on it, this data should be backup’d the only person who should have access to this backed data, is the owner of the specific notebook no Administrator should have access to this backup’d data My approach would be: Install VAW on the machine (not deployed/managed by VBR) configure a Backup Job directly on this system Repository can be an Object Storage or a Shared folder a Veeam backup repository would be managed by VBR and so the Backup Data and Encryption Settings could be accessible by the Veeam Administrator set Encryption within the Job (only the owner of this device has the Key) What do you think about it? Am I’m missing something here? Would there be a better approach?

Veeam Threat Hunter behind HTTP proxy

Just information for the Veeam community members. If your Scan Backup Job with Veeam Threat Hunter ends with the error " Unable to perform scan: threat signatures database is missing " and your Veeam Mount server is behind an internet HTTP proxy, wait for the next minor version of VBR, or contact support, they have a temporary workaround. Statement from support At the moment, signature updates do not work properly when an HTTP proxy is used - this is a confirmed issue that was found recently, and it is planned to be addressed in the next minor patch 12.3.1.

Asynchronous request operation failed with synology SMB backup target

I have been having issues with the local file server/storage which is a Synology device running their latest up to date OS. I recently enabled SMB multichannel and Asyncronous read on the Synology. Unfortunately, my backups have started failing across multiple devices: 4/1/2024 12:32:10 PM :: Error: The network is busy. Asynchronous request operation has failed. [readsize = 4202496] [offset = 8585379840] Failed to restore file from local backup. VFS link: [summary.xml]. Target file: [MemFs://frontend::CDataTransferCommandSet::RestoreText_{04776693-5fd2-4b58-8adb-2a31e1e3d68e}]. CHMOD mask: [255]. Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.RestoreText} While I understand I can disable the feature and NOT have SMB multichannel on, it’s been great and beneficial. I’d much prefer I was able to support and take advantage here. Is this something I can address in some way? This is using the Veeam agent.

Noted Malware file extension not found

I am trying to clean up my Veeam Backup environment. Since they launched the Malware detection many of my backup sets are marked as containing files that Veeam thinks are malware. Most file extensions are not and some are files that have been created from our internal Applications Development team. I am either deleting non-relevant files or adding the extension to the Trusted Objects list. One extension that Veeam marked as Malware is *.kill . It found 2 files on our file server with this extension. Confusingly, I have not been able to find these files when I search the file server. Can anyone point me to an application or process that could locate these files?

Veeam bootable media cannot connect to backup server

Does the Veeam Media Creation tool depend on the host OS when creating the bootable ISO or does the Veeam Media Creation tool contain everything it needs? None of the ISO’s that are created on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2 PC’s can connect to the Veeam backup server to perform a Bare Metal Recovery but they can ping the server’s name and IP when using Tools → Command Prompt . I posted detailed info, with the errors, here: https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-agent-for-windows-f33/recovery-media-does-not-work-v6-3-t97990.html I’m wondering if the IoT edition of Windows (or maybe version 24H2 in general) doesn’t come with something, that other Windows editions/versions do come with, that’s required during the media creation process.

Veeam Backup Validator issues, always get "The handle is invalid"

Hello, I am currently in a battle with VBV - Veeam Backup Validator As has been my experience, the health check of an agent backup job is done by the machine running agent.That, for some reason, the VBR itself cannot perform this function; even though the agent is managed by the VBR and the VBR has full access to the backup repositories. As I run my veeam over tailscale, when my laptop is outside the home LAN, the health check takes many time longer than the backup job itself. So I am try to come up with a workaround. using VBV, to offload the health check to a machine inside the LAN. So far, very frustrating, I cannot seem to use /backup flag on a backup job that does not contain a VM.I did tried to set /vmname to the name of machine running agent, but never worked.Is that correct? "C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\Veeam.Backup.Validator.exe" /backup:abp_theen10_falconerPolicy selected, provide one vmname you want to check. So far, the workaround seems to be hardco

Saving Drafts?

Hey Folks, Perhaps this is a feature request or maybe people have their own way of doing this. It sometimes happens that I am doing a post and get distracted or have to leave it. Then for whatever reason I lose the post (dumb laptop shutdown but not only). So first of all to the Community Managers, is there any chance we can get a save draft functionality here? If not what do other people here do? Or do you simply sit down right the post and click create? Copying and pasting from word does not work well and I am assuming creating in .md format to paste in would be best. In that case what markdown editor do you use?

Small B&R Hyper-V system. Remove Hyper-V Host & Backup Server from Domain

My inhouse system & handful of remaining customers all have almost identical configurations. They all have Community v12.0 but all will likely go to Foundation. Each has: Production Host Hyper-V Server MS Server 2019 Replication Target Hyper-V Host MS Server 2019 Win10 Backup Server with Veeam Console Ubuntu Immutable Storage unit. Since the Win10 unit is also my local Admin unit it is on the domain. Several of the Production Servers are also on the Domain before I received the info. Problems encountered: When I setup the last Replication Target, I took the previous Production Host and removed it from the domain. It lost all knowledge of Hyper-V and existing VMs. No problem on that as I just resetup from scratch. Don’t want to do that with a Production Host if possible. I’m sure removing the Win10 Backup Server/Console/Admin unit from Domain will make a mess. I don’t mind resetup as I’m going to install Foundation v12.3 but wonder what I should do on existing machines. Remove Hosts fro

Fresh Veeam B&R install - Migrate only Credintails & Passwords

I’ve encountered a couple of issues with B&R and I’d like to start from scratch. I’m contemplating renaming my old B&R server VM and creating a new VM with a freash OS and Veeam B&R install since my current B&R server has been updated many times and was switched from Microsoft SQL to PostgreSQL. Is there a way to export/import only the Credintails & Passwords? I want to manually add all of the other info into the B&R server because one of the issues I’m encountering seems to be database related. Issues: I replaced a physical workstation that uses Windows Agent. I reinstalled the old SSD into the new computer. I renamed the PC. Everything works, including Veeam Agent backups but I noticed that email alerts and Malware scan related errors still reference the old computer name even though the new pc name is displayed in the B&R control panel.
