Hello,I‘m very frustrated now. Had Community for years in use without any problems. Yesterday I could not open management console and get an error message. I try to reinstall software but get this error. Tried an installation on new W2022 same error. Search google - no success. Tried to solve this problem 8 hour. Now I‘m at the end of my knowlegde.  

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!

Hello,I have a backup of a Windows PC on the NAS and have added the NAS IP as a backup repository. However, the program says that the path contains invalid characters. If I map the NAS as a drive, I no longer get the error, but the backup cannot be found. If I download the backup to the PC, it works. What could this be?The path is:\\192.168.68.136\PC_Backups\laptop_ideapad_2026\Ideapad_Job_Aeternum\Ideapad Job Aeternum2026-03-08T115126.vbkReplacing spaces with underscores does not help either. As I said, downloading it works.I use a QNAP NAS. Regards

I am creating failover plans in VBR and want to script changing DNS entries to point to new IPs.  I can’t find any documentation about how these scripts run, any parameters that can be passed to them etc.  All I can see is that they run on the VBR server.  Can anyone point me to something?Thanks

Due to some issues with the PostGre SQL database of Veeam B&R CE, I had to uninstall and reinstall Veeam B&R CE. After sucessful installation, I imported the configuration Backup file. Everything worked fine, I had all my Backup Jobs, my Backup Infrastructure and my Physical Infrastcture restored. I was very happy that everything could be restored so easily. But the next day I had some failed Backup jobs in the History. Two servers (no VMs) couldn´t be backuped because of a strange error message:Warning Failed to connect to XXXXXXXX Details: Cannot find package version for component EpAgent package Msi platform X64. OK, it looks like Veeam B&R had some issues to connect with the Agent on this servers. So I uninstalled the Agent on the Server and tried to install the Agent via B&R once again.But it always failed. Veeam B&R can´t install the agent because it can´t find the “EpAgent package Msi platform X64”. It´s no issue fro

Hi,Is anyone able to assist here? I’m trying to upgrade to Veeam 13, as part of the overall upgrade I have to upgrade V Orc from my current version 7.1 to 7.2. However, all that I can see in the previous versions is:But the pre-req explicitly says:Upgrade to Orchestrator version 7.2.1 is supported from Orchestrator version 7.2 only; upgrade from Orchestrator versions 7.1, 7, 6, 5 and 4 to version 7.2.1 is not supported:To learn how to manually upgrade from Orchestrator version 7.1 to 7.2, see Veeam Recovery Orchestrator 7.2 User Guide.  However, I’m unable to find the 7.2 version I need to upgrade to 7.2.1. Any help would be appreciated

Hi all,It seems that today is vulnerability day! https://www.veeam.com/kb4830https://www.veeam.com/kb4831Let's start planning the updates!

I would like to know from you, gentlemen, if anyone here happens to use this NIST document. It dates back to 2010, but it seems to me to be an excellent source of information. What references have you been using in your projects?   

Malware detection scanned  a suspicious file from backup but the file is actually legit and so I marked it as clean and Exclude. If I modify the same file for testing purposes, will the malware detection flag it as safe, legit file since I marked it Clean and Exclude? Or it will be detected as suspicious again? Thanks. 

I am preparing to update Veeam for Microsoft 365 from 8.1.2.180 to 8.3.0.2201 and I just want to make sure I am all set in case there are any issue after the update. I don’t believe I have any PostgreSQL or NATS setup that I can recall from when I set this up. I suppose if I do it is all default. It also appears there is no config backup option in this program. We do back up this server, but it does hold both V365 and VBR, so not sure if that complicates things from a restore standpoint if there is a problem with the V365 update.I’m probably overthinking it, but it is the first time I will be updating V365 and just want to make sure my jobs and repositories don’t break or need adjustments after the update.The main reason for this update other than the prompt for an update was that we received a one time email last week saying “License update interrupted: License contract has been terminated” even though subscription and user licenses are active as far as we can tell.

Dear Community, As we transition to Veeam 13 I may be getting a bit lost on the usage/purpose of the above Appliance.I have deployed the VSA ver 13 as in-house demo to explore the features and usage. I also deployed the Veeam Hardened Repository 2.0.0.8 and I like how it makes things easier.However the Usage of the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance which can also be used to deploy the Linux VHR has other roles/features that may not be clear on how they plug-in to the entire deployment. I am reading this part https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/linux_infrastructure_appliance_byb.html?ver=13 and I would like to understand which components that we used to integrate and configure in VBR ver 12 can be compared. Hope its clear. Though I

(running Veeam 13, Community/Free edition on Win 11).I did a bunch of migrations and updates a month ago. Before doing so I set aside the existing Veeam backups, so I have them. When I try to import a backup for one server from it (just to browse and retrieve a couple files) it tells me "Path contains invalid symbols...",. But it doesn’t. I have a path with no special characters or trailing spaces or anything like that. The message isn’t any more specific.I’ve tried mounting the file share where it exists as a mapped drive and a network location. I would copy it into the local machine to try that, but there isn’t room.Also, the import dialog says “Specify a backup to import. You can import backups from a backup repository or any managed server.” but the dropdown menu only lists the local machine and my two hyper-V hosts, not the repository (which is on a network share).Thanks.

We use AWS VTL for backing up some of our larger SMB file shares (mainly AWS FSx for Windows) that run into a few terabytes each.When running a tape backup job we’d run a powershell script to check there were at least 10 free tapes before starting each job (there’s around four or five chained jobs).The script worked fine on VBR v12, but always returns “TooManyRequests” on v13.I have found various “retry” scripts, but the VBR commands ALWAYS return “TooManyRequests” so never complete.Is there now an alternative method to auto load blank tapes that didn’t exist in v12?Our script that worked in v12:# Get Library$NOVA_Tape_Library = Get-VBRTapeLibrary -Name "Novasol Gateway-VTL V3"# Get Number of Free Tapes$NOVA_Free_Tapes = (Get-VBRTapeMediaPool -Name "Free").medium | where {$_.LibraryId -eq $NOVA_Tape_Library.Id}# if number of free tapes < 10 import tapes and format for

Hi teamA hardened repo using the VEEAM Hardened ISO experienced a power cycle and upon reboot its out of band interface lit up like a x-mas tree.Upon further investigation it appeared that the virtual disk was just gone. A message indicated that RAID6 detected foreign configuration.Been working with vendor and they have asked to install storcli on to the server.Would this be possible, being a hardened repo? They have a non-recommended method alternative too.Can’t believe that a power cycle did this and not sure what the root cause is but would be good if we could get it back. Otherwise will have to rebuild and sync primary backups againcheers

Hi,we are planning to use the Veeam Data Cloud for Salesforce Backup. We need to keep backups for 2 years. What, if we decide to switch the backup-partner. For example Salesforce native backup? We cancle our subscription. Fair-Use-Policy will delete the backups after 30 days, correct? What options do we have, to keep  the backups as long as our requirements are? The same question would be, if we decide to use veeam backup for m365 in the data cloud. Here we would have onedrive files, with a retention time of 2-10 years.  We do not plan to quit anything, but we need a valid exit strategie if we decide to use a cloud product.
