Simple one this, where is the feature comparison showing VDP ESSENTIALS, against the foundation, advanced, and premium? What features am I getting in essentials vs those enterprise grade versions basically? It matters because I’m watching the whats new webinar and there is a feature comparison going on but no mention of essentials? Thanks in advance!

Hello,I will implement Veeam Data Cloud for back up our M365 services such as exchange, onedrive, sharepoint and ms.team and the daily operational will be handled by our backup administrator.I have concern when we backup exchange mailbox, the backup administrator can ‘peek’ all the contents of the mailbox for all users.So can we have separate administrator for daily backup and prevent this user to ‘peek the inbox and in same time assign special user who can restore the mailbox? It’s no problem for this special user can peek’ the mailbox, the special user maybe can our CTO.

Hi All, Just asking. If have any official/unofficial workbook for installation and configuration of Veeam Backup and Recovery that I can refer and provided to customer as part of assessment before the Veeam deployment start? Please advise

Hello Team,I am trying to setup woker for Proxmox VE.  I got follwoing error during testing phase.“Failed to connect to the worker core service.  Failed to connect to the backup appliance.”I got some log files, but I am not sure which one I should refer to.Also, it might be “port” issue?  I have opened necessary ports for Veaam communications. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi everyone, I’m trying to resize the Veeam console, but the smallest size that I have still big, I can’t get is smaller than the screenshot bellow.Does anyone knows how to reduce even more the console big?Thank YOU 

I’m finding it very diffcult to find a configuration guide to setup an SOBR that offloads to AWS S3 Glacier archive tier. I understand the concepts but have no experience with AWS. Does anyone know of any guides that get down to the nuts and bolts of setting up the AWS infrastrcture? As I said, I’m new to AWS so need basics like how to apply permissions to resources (i.e. buckets) for users/groups. I’m looking for something on that level. 

Va atasez prezentarile Veeam, despre Zero Trust ArchitectureV-am pus si o prezentare despre Recon Scanner, pe care clientii Veeam Data Platform Premium il primesc (inclus) incepand cu Q4 2024. Recon Scanner ajuta la detectia (si corelatia) anomaliilor si vulnerabilitatile identificate si ca urmare, poate fi super util in protectia anti-ransomware.

Good day, I know this topic was mentioned, well actually a popular one to say the least. I was introduced to using the Port Finder tool in this forum, a very sweet interface, but it is a bit cumbersome to use.  I just need someone to simply provide the standard port numbers to enable in windows firewall for Veeam B&R 12. I clearly get the application group, but source and target service? please explainI just need port numbers to just enable quickly For:Backup Jobs and/or replication jobs communications between Hyper V Server comprising windows and linux vms Backup Proxy communication.That is all. I dont want to keep my windows firewall domain profile off indefinitely lol.  Does it mean that no one knows the actual port numbers directly.

hello, thanks, i am running out of space on a linux server that i use for backup copy jobs.i am not sure the ways to free space without creating a nightmare…by way of example, this is the setting for a backup copy jobwhat would happen if i changed the retention policy from 30 days to 7 days?not sure i really need 30 days, as this is in addition to the main backup policyi would assume that veeam will not delete the older .vib files from day 8 to 30, correct?so i think i need to manually prune those older .vib files?but not wanting to affect veeam ability about keeping certain full backups longer for archival purposes.please, any advise at all about that setup or if any additional information is needed?thanks, david

Hello, Trying to use Veeam to do ProxMox backups, I was able to add 1 host from the cluster, and deploy a worker to it, but when I go to add the second host, it tells me that its already added, but its not in the list and VMs from the other hosts are not showing up.I tried via IP or DNS name and results are same, it says:“Failed to register cluster. The Proxmox VE node 192.168.1.226 has already been added to the backup infrastructure”but its not there, see below (the 192.168.1.225 is the first host in cluster and there are 2 more .226, .227. What am I doing wrong here ? The documentation said to add each host individually from the cluster:  Important If you want to add a Proxmox VE cluster to the backup infrastructure,

I have backups that are SOBR-Tiered out to Azure blobs. I have an audit coming up and need to show that we have this data stored- Basically, I need to build a list of backups that are physically stored in Azure. I asked Veeam support about this, and they said that you can’t just list Azure backups because of how blobs work. I can’t be the only person who needs to do this, so I figure there must be a way. Whether or not Veeam is part of that mechanism is apparently debatable. As a side note, I have a recent install of Enterprise Manager. The backups I need to list are back to 2020 or before, and we didn’t have it at the time, but any historical logs it takes from VB&R would probably have been imported when EM was installed. How do others in the community answer inquiries of this sort?

Hi,Recently I change my job. so that i need to change my email address, any one can help me in this issue?

First of all, i love the new integration and feature 💚 Just give you some examples - and maybe a found bug/issue: Activated within the Web UI Configuration:I stated with new Data Collection after activating this feature / the Advanced mode.  Lets start some queries:Q: Show me a list of all my protected VMs Wow, very nice! I switched to german - just for a test (Q: Please give me a clearer overview)Q: Bitte gebe mir diese Übersicht übersichtlicher aus 

Dear Community,Good morning.I hope this message finds you well. I have noticed that in Veeam ONE, there does not appear to be a specific reporting feature related to Transaction Log reports. If such a feature exists, I would greatly appreciate it if you could guide me on where to find it.Thank you in advance for your assistance and guidance. 

Hello everyone,I have been looking for some options that are activated only when the "CTRL" key is used simultaneously. In a quick search on the user guide for VMware, I found 22 occurrences, but not all occurrences activate specific functions. Does anyone have a list of all the additional functions activated when using the "CTRL" key? The rebalance option is available only when the “CTRL” key is used with right click pressed at the same time.

Hi, I recently upgraded to the most recent version of B&R community edition and I think as part of that process, one of my Windows PC did not failed to update its Agent properly.  Now, that Windows PC always shows up as offline and when I try to reinstall/update Agent from the console, I get “6/22/2024 5:19:43 PM Warning Failed to connect to MyPC Details: Failed to call RPC function 'PckgFind': Unknown property.” I know that PC is on and has network connection.  Is there a way for me to manually reinstall the Agent on that PC?  If so, where can I find the installation files?   Thank you!

Hello everyone,Two weeks ago, I finished delivering the course Veeam Backup & Replication v12.1: Configure, Manage and Recover.During the explanation of the need to back up the configuration database, using the configuration database's own backup mechanism through the main menu, a student said that he only backs up the Veeam Backup Server using the VMware backup job (Image backup) and in fact I have heard this same statement from other students, so I explained to the student that the backup server must be backed up using the configuration database backup, which is available in the main menu.Because of this type of behavior that I have encountered in the classes that I teach, I reinforce here that the backup server backup must be followed according to https://www.veeam.com/kb2645Pya closer attention here:

I just need to know which services are required to run Backup & Replication to a Linux Backup Repository.  We also use Enterprise Manager. How can we reduce unnecessary services?

Do you guys treat Veeam like the rest of your servers do do things differently?I know a good portion of us have our Veeam servers Non Domain joined, which will require treating it a bit different.  I also have extremely long jobs run to tape sometimes so a manual process to reboot and patch is needed for myself. For most of my servers I use  a WSUS deployment I have scripted all of my servers to check in weekly and to download the updates at a specified time. I use flags so they won’t download the updates if a reboot is currently pending incase a previous month is missed. I then use VMware to scheduled reboot the hosts as It’s much more consistent this way and easy to disable. I can also generate reports for people to know when their apps will be down. I was thinking about creating a script to preform the staged download of updates for my Veeam infrastructure, but we will see how time permitting my next while is.   

When I manually install Windows agent, it installs with GUI, thus I’m able to perform backups from that particular PC. But I need Agent to perform backups from B&R Console installed elsewhere. When I create the backup job from the Console, it makes a rescan of the PC with Agent installed, then does some ‘MSI packet repair’. So the Agent’s GUI disappears and Agent ‘transforms’ to the version compatible with Console.My question here is how can I at once install Agent to be used with Console? Is there some key can be used with MSI packet to directly install Consol-aware version of Agent?

Hi Everyone,I’m looking into using the HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus as a backup repository for Veeam and had a couple of questions:Has anyone tested this server with Veeam? Does it handle high-performance backup and restore operations well, especially for heavy workloads?What’s the best way to configure it for Veeam? I’m curious about things like usable storage capacity, support for 100 Gb NICs, and whether it’s suitable for high-concurrency environments.I’d love to hear about your experiences, any tips, or links to helpful resources!

Dear Community,Regarding GCP environment, if you have one GCP appliance.it appears that some of the required services for the XYZ project are currently disabled.The impacted services include:cloudbilling.googleapis.comcloudkms.googleapis.comserviceusage.googleapis.comsqladmin.googleapis.comspanner.googleapis.com   To resolve this, you'll need to enable these services in the Google Cloud Console. Here's how you can do that: Go to the Google Cloud Console: https://console.cloud.google.com/Navigate to API & Services > Dashboard.Look for each of the listed services and click on "Enable" next to each service. Alternatively, yo

Hello everyone, I have run into an issue that I can’t seem to figure out.  I have my system set up to backup on a daily basis but a backup has not run in the last 12 days.  The only change made 12 days ago was a reinstall of Slack on my laptop.  I have rebooted my system multiple times since that date along with performing an uninstall and reinstall of the agent.  I am including a screenshot of the Windows agent and my system uptime below.I am not sure why there would be a job still running at this point and could really use some help.  I am using Veeam B&R 11.5 CE and my laptop is running Windows 11 22H2.  I know that my version of Windows technically is not supported until B&R 12 with Windows agent version 6 but they have not been released yet.  I do know that the only thing that will not work with my version of Windows is the backup recovery media creation.  Everything else should work according to Dimitry Popov in the following post.
