“Cannot find record in table tapestorage”.  I need to know how to remove the orphaned tape object from the database.  We are using Veeam Backup and Replication v11.   Any help will be appreciated.  

Good day. I’m setting up a new Veeam 12.1 on-prem environment. Currently the Veeam B&R server is not domain-joined. We are working on a separate management domain, but it’s not yet ready. And, I don’t think it should matter as a workgroup setup is a recommended best practice.I’m attempting to add an SMB file share from a domain-joined Windows 2019 file server to Veeam, but it’s not able to access the file server share.For instance, the file server is “fileserver01” and the share is “P$”. I can navigate to it from my desktop or a domain server using “\\fileserver01.domain.com\p$”. I have tried using my domain credentials as well as the local file server administrator account (fileserver01\administrator), but Veeam cannot access that file share.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Have search and search and can’t seem to find out what this icon with the red bug on it means. Can anyone give any insight as to what it means? 

Hey! I would like to test Veeam Backup & replication 12 to see if we want to use the software. This is the free versionNow, unfortunately, I already have problems with the installation. When I try to work with the localhost, I get the following error message: To rule out a firewall problem, I've disabled them. Unfortunately, to no avail.I tried a local user as well as a domain user. Both are in the Administrators group. Die Dienste laufen auch alle:  (But I only have these four). Does anyone have an idea what it could be based on?About the server: It is a virtual machine that runs in VSphere.

While adding some new Volumes, I found that some of my NetApp Volumes were not named correctly according to our standard naming conventions.  Thinking nothing of it, I renamed them and carried on.I had my Veeam B&R server rescan the storage and all seemed well, until every backup job failed.“Cannot find any relevant ONTAP SnapMirror and SnapVault relationshipsFailed to create processing task for VM <servername> Error: Failed to prepare VM for processing from secondary storage snapshot, and the option to failover to primary storage snapshot is disabled.”The Volumes are set up for VMware with a single LUN presented via Fiber Channel.It is set up to do an intra-cluster snapshot from an FAS8300 to a FAS2720 and backup from the FAS2720The protection relationships all say they are healthy and under the Veeam policy on the storage.I’ve had a ticket open with support for 10 days and am not getting anywhere fast.They had me edi

Hello, I would like to ask you for rest api example for Amazon S3 repository creation (more detailed documentation for the object storage endpoint API).I have found the documentation and in the example is Azure, I would like to see how to use it for Amazon. Thanks In advanced.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vbr_rest/object_storage.html?zoom_highlight=repositories&ver=120

Hi Veeam Community, I'm Daria from Veeam. I'm working behind the scenes to enhance your VeeamON experience and explore new networking opportunities for attendees.  We're considering introducing a 'Coffee Connect' feature before the event, designed to kickstart networking early. Coffee Connect would allow attendees to sign up for a 15-minute chat with another VeeamON attendee at random. I would appreciate your input on moving forward with this idea. Please take a poll below and comment your thoughts and if you will definitely use this feature :)  Thanks for your help, Best, Daria K

Posted in the forums here - so if there isn’t currently a way to have active/active, active/standby etc configuration for EM, what have folks been doing for distributed deployments? The primary goal here is to have a DR site come online as quickly as possible and for EM to have the highest availability one can offer.

Hi all.  There is the possibility that this weekend I might need to restore all of our domain controllers in our domain (hopefully this does not come to pass).  It is not a very active AD domain so hopefully but I might have to go back about 3 weeks to get around a problem.Can someone point me to documentation as to how to do this from within Veeam with all the DCs down?  This would mean that no dns resolution will be happening (do I have to create a hosts file on the Veeam server to get around this?).Another hiccup is that for one of the DCs, I notice now that application aware processing has not been turned on so it is going to be restored as just a member server without any special processing for the AD database.Thanks.

Hello, I would like to use CDP to replicate my VM from DC to DRC, I have 2 vcenter on DC and DRC. I have already installed VBR server on DC site So do I have to install I/O in each vcenter (DC & DRC) by using Veeam console in DC or I just have to install I/O in vcenter on DC ? Thank you 

Hello!I am new here, hope you don't mind my ignorance!!I am looking for some detailed steps/instructions to implement and achieve my data backup goals for a personal/home based setting. I Have quite a few kinds of devices in my home. couple of windows laptops, couple of iPads, couple of iPhones, an android phone, may be a macbook pro in the future. I don't find it practical to connect separate USB external hard disks to each of these devices to back them up. So, what i am thinking to achieve instead is - if all of these devices can connect to a NAS, use one big drive say 6/8 TB and create individual folders to create separate backups of each of the devices, that is the ideal solution i am looking for. I haven't decided yet on what model of NAS do i need. Any recommendations welcome! I am planning to use this NAS

Veeam 12.1 Community Edition running on Windows Server 2022 Standard.The host is Hyper-V.  The repository is on a QNap.  This is a new installation.  I’m getting the following error when backing up a VM:Error: Failed to call RPC function 'FclsExists': The user name or password is incorrect The passwords for the repository and Hyper-V host are both confirmed good, as I was able to add, remove, and add them, again, to Veeam.  Thanks, Chris

This Linux server was working before on Veeam v9.5.  I upgraded to v12 and it hasn’t worked since.  I will say my old v9.5 server died, so I started from scratch a new v12 server.  I uninstalled the old Linux agent from the command line and reinstalled using yum.  I can run ‘sudo veeam’ and the agent app runs fine.  I couldn’t get Veeam to install the agent on its own.My Veeam Backup & Replication server is unable to connect to this Linux host.  It does a Rescan and fails:“Failed to process 1 host processedJob finished with error”I have no firewalls enabled on the Linux server or the Windows Veeam server.  I can’t figure this out.  Spent hours on it.  Created a ticket yesterday but haven’t heard back from Veeam yet.  I’d love to figure this one out to get the win. lol.Agent OS: Linux Oracle Linux Server 8.9Veeam B&R: Windows 2019 Server v12.1.1.56 Any troubleshooting tips?

Hello, I have version 12 installed on a Server in our domain.  I have checked the users and roles area and am unable to determine how this is happening, but anytime I enter correct active directory credentials for a user, I am able to authenticate in the console and it works fine?  What can I do to resolve this? 

Hello all,  Today I come to you with an important issue for me. Has anyone used Quantum's DXi backup appliance? How do you think the product integrates with Veeam? I need some important information like dedup rate, data security, write/read performance. If anyone has experience with this it would be great.

How many people have taken the VMCA in EMEA and LATAM?Just compiling some numbers here for comparison. cheers Geoff

Good afternoon all.I have been working on a project for a client over the past two months which included the client having move over to Veeam from an old outdated backup solution.The client has an external RDX drive with 2TB RDX cartridges, one for each day of the week.  Currently their backups have been failing as of two weeks ago with the report clearly indicating lack of free space on the RDX cartridge.  When checking, old backups from Feb are still there and have not been purged.Currently I have a repository setup to the F:\ drive (external RDX drive) which the “Backup Job” saves too.The job itself is backing up the whole VM from Hyper-V, it has a 3 restore point retention policy, and is set to Incremental with create active full backups on Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, and Fri.  All other advanced settings are left as default.Can someone help me understand why the older jobs from Feb aren’t being purged out pertaining to the retention policy?T

Happy New Year Community!Has anyone who’s upgraded VBR to v12.1… have there been any notable issues reported? I know with the upgrade, which supports upgrade of vSphere to 8U2, there is a CBT bug within vSphere when upgrading VM disks. That isn’t a Veeam issue though...rather a VMware issue. Simple fix for that is simply don’t upgrade vSphere to 8U2. 🙂 Other than that, has there been anything discussed ‘in the wild’ as it were on upgrade issues I have not yet heard about? I’d like to upgrade, but want to make sure there’s no egregious bugs before doing so. Cheers all.

"We're researching and doing some prototyping around Proxmox to see what's possible there as far as backup goes," Anton Gostev, Veeam's senior veep for product management posted on January 11.Another Veeam product manager, Fabian Kessler, last week confirmed that effort, writing "Proxmox is something we are doing some early research on." As found on Reddit/The Register
