Since yesterday all our existing configured backup jobs to Azure Blob storage are failing and attempts to create new object storage repository are failing on Validating Credentials.  Error: Unable to access object storage (reason: 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. (xstorageaccountnamex.blob.core.windows.net:443))Any ideas?  I’ve tried rotating the access key in Azure and updating that in the Cloud account in Veeam m365 backup.  This has started to occur a week after upgrading to v8 which was ok initially.

I have installed Veeam Software Appliance on fresh hardware. My intent is to recreate my backup infrastructure around it and then deprecate my current Windows server that handles the jobs. I am not finding anywhere to download a license key for version 13. It does not show in my account portal as an option for generating a key.

I have been (legally) ordered to provide “any and all” copies of backups for a client dating back two years. Veeam 8.1.2 Community runs on a Win10 Virtual Machine and runs 3 routines dailyExchange, SharePoint + Teams, OneDriveManual restore will take a year and $9K of external USB hard drives.Wondering if there is a way to give them a copy of the Veeam virtual machine with backups disabled and the only restore options are save locally. I do not want them to accidentally trigger a restore job that overwrites the live data.Disabling the 3 jobs is not appealing because they can be enabled easily.I changed the global admin password associated with the organization but did not affect Veeam operation.  This would allow us to continue to the original Veeam backup server for daily backups.In typing this, it seems that providing them with a searchable and restorable archive is what I am looking for.  Plus it cannot interfere with the ongoing backup o

Hello Team,I just finished setting up Veeam backup community edition 12.2 and added Proxmox VE server into Veeam backup.  Now, I tried to configure “worker”, but it was failed.  I used DHCP and set static IP address.  The error I got was “Failed to obtain an IP address: The operation timeout exceeded” and “Worker xxxx(hostname) test failed.  I am not sure if worker name should be registered in DNS record, or it should be any hostname which doesn’t exist in DNS?  I tried to both of them, but I still have no luck.Also, the worker host seemed to be created on Proxmox VE server.  I can see this and I can ping this from Veeam backup host (Windows 11 PC).   I appreciate for you help!!

2025-11-06 Subject: VBR 12.3.2.4165 Installation Failure Version provider was not found in suite context on Windows 11 Pro ARM ParallelsHello,I am attempting a fresh installation of Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition (ISO: 12.3.2.4165) on a newly created virtual machine, but the Veeam Setup Engine consistently fails with the error: An error has occurred: Version provider was not found in suite context.Environment Details: My host is a MacBook Air running macOS Tahoe 26.1 and I am using Parallels Desktop 26 for Mac. The guest operating system is Windows 11 Pro, Version 25H2. The system type is a 64-bit operating system with an ARM-based processor.

Hi all,I want to update Veeam Agent for Windows from 6.3.2.1205 to 6.3.2.1302. The in place upgrade doesnt’t work:  Will my backup job settings be safe when I uninstall the current installed agent and reinstall the new version of Veeam Agent for Windows?Kind Regards

Hi,I’m new to Veeam family and doing initial deployment.What is recommendation for backup jobs - one job for one VM? or group more VMs which could be same schema of backup in one backup job? how much it affects deduplication?Is ReFS deduplication compatible with also enabled job deduplication? Could be both enabled?Is there any report of job deduplication? for me it looks it does not deduplicate anything.Thanks

I started my first backup on the 9th. I have retention set to 12 days and Synthetic on Saturdays (default)  . No files have yet been removed from my NAS. I have attached details 9kinow there are extra backups on some days) but its over 12 days now. When will deletion start ? Tony

Does VAMWF support scheduled backup jobs?  I was able to create one with the GUI, but it didn’t run, probably because there was no entry in Task Scheduler.

 "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 10.x.x.x:10005"The problem here is my Veeam VM is not on that network. It is only home network 192.x.x.x using  hyper-v switch.  The network referenced in the error strictly a closed vlan for security cams which is a secondary nic on the host server.  The host server and domain controller backup fine but the win11 clients Veeam keeps trying to use secondary nic which is not connected to the vm. AD DNS does not have any enters for the other network.  so somehow it Veeam is trying to use the host server nics at will.I have set the global traffic preferred network to the home network. makes non difference disabled all firewalls on all devices not joy same error.  my only other thought would be to force all the firewall rules

I back up our Organization sites nightly. Sometimes I get a warning on a job that a site was deleted and I have to go into the job and remove the deleted site from the backup. Is there any way for deleted sites to just be removed from the backup automatically? So the program is only backing up what exists?  Note that currently ‘select objects to back up’ is set to ‘back up the following objects’ which is 23 of 25 sites. So I don’t have ‘Back up entire organization’ selected. Although would that maybe be my fix and dynamically adjust what sites are available to back up? 

Hi all,looking for real-world guidance on NIC sizing for a Linux Hardened Repository.Context (VBR 12.x or 13.x ; Linux appliance vs Windows?): Repository: Linux Hardened Repo (XFS, immutability). Repo server NIC options: either 2×10/25GbE or 4×10/25GbE. Backup server/proxies can also be 2×10/25GbE or 4×10/25GbE. Primary storage for the VMware workloads will be either 32G FC (Direct SAN from proxies) or 10/25GbE iSCSI. Single site, LAN backups (no WAN in the data path). Goal: Max throughput and resilience without adding complexity that doesn’t pay off.Has anyone measured a meaningful improvement going from 2×25GbE to 4×25GbE on a single Linux repo?What actually worked (or didn’t) in your environments —  “wish-I-knew” lessons appreciated :-) 

I’d like to setup Veeam Windows Backup and Recovery for 1 physical PC. What software and license are required to set this up?

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?

Hi Veeam Community,I’m running into a critical issue with my backups and need help.Error Details:Unable to apply retention policy: failed to delete backup filesError: Failed to call RPC function 'FcIsExists': The specified network name is no longer available.Environment:Veeam Backup & Replication: v12.3.2.3617 Backup Repository: NAS OS: Windows 10What I’ve tried:Deleted ~300GB of old backup files to free up space. Verified repository free space. Restarted Veeam services and checked network connectivity.Despite this, all backups are failing. The error seems tied to retention policy cleanup and possibly network access to the NAS.

Good afternoon, all!My customer is at the very front edge of a complete virtualization refresh - hardware, software, virtualization platform, the whole picture.We’re currently using Veeam B&R and VeeamONE to support our VMware stack, with an onsite performance layer and a cloud storage tier for long-term archiving.If we moved to Hyper-V or Nutanix, would we be able to retain our VMware-based backups for file and data recovery or would we need to repatriate and convert?Thanks!

Dear Community, Recently, I encountered an issue while running a scheduled backup job using Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. The backup failed with the error "Failed to create VSS snapshot."Successfully resolved the issue, and I’d like to share the steps I took in case they help. Solution That Worked:Simply by restarting the VSS (Volume Shadow Copy) service, which might have become unstable or stuck. Here’s what I did:Opened an Command Prompt (Run as Administrator)Ran the following commands:net stop vss net start vss You can also restart these services in services.msc:Volume Shadow Copy Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider That’s it! After this, I re-ran the backup job and it completed successfully without any errors. As a Veeam Commun

Hi Community, I’m facing an issue where Veeam ONE Reporting Service (VeeamRSS.exe) cannot communicate with Veeam ONE Monitoring Service (VeeamDCS.exe). The error message states:  The Monitoring service appears to be stopped or inaccessible. Has anyone encountered this before? What could cause the Monitoring service to become unavailable? Any insights or best practices to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Kindly note that support case already been open for this.  

Hello everyone, I am trying to connect the Veeam software appliance and my NAS via iSCSI. It won't work directly, so I installed Veeam Infrastructure Server, where I tried to connect the NAS, but I have no idea how to connect it there. I looked through the documentation, but couldn't find anything. Could you please advise me?Thank you in advance.

Fresh v13 build for VBR, EM and Veeam ONE.Veeam ONE is installed on windows 2025 with a seperate win2025 SQL server.Install is all good but when running the Veeam ONE client and I click ADD SERVER to add the VBR server, this opens a web interface to veeam one. Once logged in, I get this:infrastructure is missing and I can click review data sources, when I click this I get error “failed to add the virtual infrastructure. The user account does not have the required permissions”.The user does have permissions, local admin, in the veeam administrators group as well. In the top corner of the web UI it also shows the user then underneath “restricted permissions user”.Very odd…..anyone see this?

We have received an update alert for recent CVE for KB ID 4771, to install a patch. What we want to understand is not in any guide, is - Is this patch just for our Windows VBR server…? Are there any pre reqs. Going through the setup of the .exe from the ISO there are no checks and no reboot required, this was tested installed on a non Veeam server which may not give the correct results…?Thanks in advance Tony

Just installed brand new Widnows 10 VM, installed 12.1 veeam backup and replication but what ever I do this does not work.  Checked and all services are running  any thoughts would be much appreciated.
