Hi team:I have a question regarding the title above. It turns out that for many things in Veeam (access to hosts, jobs, console, etc.) I use the domain administrator's credentials. If I have to change said password, should I make adjustments to all the accesses described above? Regards,

Hi Team,Got two question and appreciate your response.Q1.In my work environment, we got 3 ESXi hosts and each have connected to multiple SAN devices to store data in different locations. I need to do a mapping exercise to identify the physical HDD’s (inside each SAN device) locations to above said individual ESXi host. I can access the ESXi host from a web interface and can view the datastores connected to individual ESXi host. Further, I can retrieve basic information of  the HDDs (physical) but not an option to locate in which SAN device they are stored.Hope my question is clear and appreciate your valuable support to obtain the best eway to perform this exercise?Q2.Also would like to know a tool or a mechanism to detect the health status of the physical HDD. The HDDs are in the production environment would like to know an industry best practice to determine the health status please?Than you in advance. Kind regards,

Hello,I have a question about backuping VMs on LHR.Is it ok to backup VMs with snapshots on LHR (retention is set 20day)?? I'm asking because i heard that it is danger - but no details why…. Thanks,   

Fairly new to Veeam so this may be a silly question.I’ve had Veeam for Office 365 setup and running for a while, but recently my repository which had been working fine stopped working.The repository is a shared folder on a Buffalo NAS.  Editing my Repository, and checking Free Space I get “Access is Denied”. yet through File Explorer I can  fully access that share.

Hi all,  I have read about helper appliance in Veeam documentation, is helper appliance will give better performance while we backup to AWS ? Because, now when I backup to AWS, there is always bottleneck on target, it is around 95% for bottleneck 

I received a backup job problem today. Successfully created Hyper-V Guest (creating a VM recovery checkpoint with Veeam application-aware processing). The next step is Failed to finalize guest processing. Error: RPC function call failed. Function name: [BlobCall]. how to fix it and resolve the issue. thanks 

I’m testing the Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition on 2 Windows 10 Pro PCs, connected with Gigabit Ethernet.  Everything’s functional.  With no throttling, backup read speed fluctuates between around 60Mb/s and 140Mb/s (note - when the read speed was around 77Mb/s, network usage shown in Task Manager on the server computer for Veeam Agent was around 940Mb/s).  But browsers and email applications on the client computer become unresponsive at times.  Setting throttling (via a Network Traffic Rule on the server) to 50Mb/s fixed the unresponsiveness problem.  But with the throttling, backup read speed dropped drastically, hovering between 1Mb/s and 5Mb/s.  I got the same result after disabling firewall and antiVirus on both computers. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to track down the cause of this problem?  

Can my physical VBR server also be a source WAN accelerator ? Can my target repository server also be the target accelerator? 

Hello all,One of my customers has two node SQL DB cluster using VMware RDM. Customer wants to replicate this using the Veeam Backup and Replication. Is it possible to replicate this RDM?what is the process for this ? Thanks you

I’m running Veeam v12 and performing some restore tests via AD explorer.When I try and restore object to the domain (this is another domain we are backing up, not the domain the Veeam server is connected to), the credential window appears. Enter that but always get error box “The supplied credential is invalid”here is the extract from the veeam log file:Connecting to domain controller rd.domain.org (port: 389, user: RD\serviceusername)…Error: The supplied credential is invalidAny help would be welcome, thanks.

When I using Veeam explorer to restore mailbox items with attachments to a user’s mailbox on On- premise Exchange Server the restore job fail with the below error:"Failed to create items. The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. Unable to write data to the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."Any ideas? 

Happy Friday everyone! I’m back for another Fun Friday question: What do you use to lab/test/play with technology? Whether you’ve just got a preferred cloud provider, live on the “hands on labs” of a particular vendor, or have a substation in your garden powering a giant datacentre in your basement, I wanna hear it! I’ve currently got a 48 Port 1Gbps PoE switch with 6x 10Gbps uplinks, 2x HPE quad core servers with 32GB RAM each running ESXi and if I need to overflow I’ve got VMware workstation on my quad core 32GB PC, all sat under my desk!

hiI first created local users and made them members of the portal administratorI removed the enterprise manager server from the domain and now it works as a workgroup.Now I have the Error of invalid username or passwordDoes anyone have a solution?

For security reasons, our backup proxies should not be domain servers. Can anyone tell me if and how I can add a non-domain server as a backup proxy? Both the server and the proxy are VMs and in the same networks.

I’d like to install a second VBR Enterprise Plus server (different catalog) to my secondary site for backing up servers at that location. Question is, can I use my existing license on it and have both VBRs running at the same time?I have a 30 instances license. 

I am trying to write a playbook that takes a final backup of an exiting employees OneDrive and Exchange Mailbox.  I can’t get past getting an authentication token. 

Hi Everyone, I just created an immutable repository using Azure Blob storage and connected to it using a Veeam 12 B&R client on Windows.I was hoping to create a File Share job to send a small set of data to the immutable repository but this doesn’t seem to be an option as when I do a new file share job the immutable repository is not available to select.Have I maybe missed something when configuring my Blob or Repo or is this just not possible? Thanks. 

Hey guys, I have a question.In a windows system with MySQL database, if I install veeam agent for windows, will I able to backup MySql database?

Hi team:I have a problem with 2 hyper-v hosts that I added to the veeam backup.In 1 the host IP had been changed. The josbs were removed and created from scratch. Now, when executing the job, the message "Unable to allocate processing resources. Error: On-host proxy [<Hiper-V name>] requires upgrade before it can be used." appears. I have a rscan over then host and its finished with warnings.In the second hypervisor, this was added directly with the name, but when executing the job, the message "Failed to connect to endpoint <vbr-server>:2500" appears. An error occurred during the connection attempt as the connected party did not respond properly after a period of time".How can i solve this?It should be said that I do not have a defined proxy and it is automatic.Greetings,

Hi at all,We configured a backup for SQL AAG with Veeam plugin and all work fine, but now we need backup also the OLAP ( Online Analytical Processing ) component for our SQL AAG. Unfortunatly the OLAP is not discoverd by Veeam Plugin and thus I don’t know how setup It's backup with Veeam. Our goal would be configure an backup as did it for the others DB instances Any idea or experience to share ? CiaoLuca 

I did an instant recovery of 2 servers, these servers were from a different location and restored to a new location. Instant recovery went fine. When I migrate to production it creates a whole new server with the name -migrate. Never had this issue doin this to the same location.

I have a customer that would like to have a way to save decommissioned server backups for 7 years.  Their normal retention for backup jobs is 1 year.  They use Data Domain for archive storage.  When they decommission a server they would like to keep the backup for 7 years.  My thought was to create a second repository on the Data Domain, move the backups there and then remove the server from the backup job.  Would this effectively exclude those backups from retention policies?

Source backup job that runs daily (1:00AM to 4:00AM (3hrs long)) is 1 TB in size on Mondays and then short 100GB increments (1:00AM to 1:30AM) each day for the rest of the week.My WAN link to the Offsite can copy 500GB per day.Copy backup will transfer about 500 GB on Monday but automatically stops after Source job runs again -“Failed to process NAS backup copy task Error: Stopped by job SourceX”After Source job finishes, the Copy job automatically starts again. It copies another 500 GB and gets interrupted when the Source job runs again. My question is the copy job restarting each time or resuming from where it got interrupted? Today is Saturday and it hasn’t finished copy the large Monday restore point..  

This is in regard to Veeam for Microsoft 365. Starting in June, Veeam for Microsoft 365 can no longer backup OneNote files (extension is .one) on the first attempt, but succeeds on the second. The reason is always "Item has been changed during the backup." I’m not seeing this with any other Microsoft Office type of document. The backup is through iLand/11:11 - I opened a ticket with their support and they're working with Veeam, however no luck so far. I can confirm the OneNote notebooks were open during the time of the backup, however this has never been an issue, where now we see it almost every day. As this is only .one files, I suspect a change was made to OneNote by Microsoft, or perhaps in the underlying database infrastructure of Microsoft 365. I'm willing to say the problem is in our tenant, but I can't imagine what change we made that would only affect .one files.Any help is appreciated.
