Feature Request: limit agent backups not only for VPN / SSID but also for IP address range

Hello,it would be great to be able to limit for physical machines veeam agent backup not only for “disallow VPN” and certain SSIDs, but also by defining an allow list for IP ranges: Some sites have a slow S2S VPN connection, there no agent backups shall happen. Just for the sites with fast S2S VPNS. Examples:Main site = 10.28.0.0/16 (allow)fast satelite site = 192.168.10.0/24 (allow)fast satelite site = 192.168.55.0/24 (allow)slow satelite site = 192.168.99.0/24 (disallow)…. TIA, Rudi Stang

Change Veeam Community username / delete account?

Hi there,I recently created a new email address and I’m in the process of switching all accounts to this new email address. On the Veeam website, it is, unfortunately, not possible to change the email address, but I had to create a new account instead. It wasn’t a big tragedy because it is (was) my private email address anyway.I just wanted to register here on the Veeam Community again with that new email address (because it’s using the same account as on the Veeam website). But registering a new account wasn’t possible because my username was already taken (sure, because I took it back in the days).I also can’t change the username on my “old” Community profile.Can someone assist me in either changing the username on the “old” profile or deleting the “old” profile?Many thanks!Best regards,KarlvExpert, former Veeam VanguardOld email: webmaster@kawi.chNew email: karl@widmers.me

Best way to give the Veeam backup server for Microsoft 365 an address (IP or name) for Restore Portal config??

We have begun our 30-day trial, going very well. Except we have no servers (all in the cloud) and need to assign an IP address to a Windows 11 PC which will serve as our Backup PC.Would like to hear from others who have been through this - how did you make that backup server addressable to create a restore portal? Can we somehow use one of our spare domains from Microsoft 365? We’ve been wracking our brains with little to no technical support and I think the question is best addressed in a group such as this. Any ideas?

Unable to delete credentials because they are currently in use

I cannot find it. It may be very old or a ghost one.  What is the easy way to figure out the “in using an object” from the VBR Management console or PowerShell? Or is there any way to force delete the credentils?

Veeam errors, newbie here: Unable to apply retention policy. Failed to delete backup files

Hi, I have not been inside Veeam for a while. I am getting errors as in the snapshot below:I understand it is complaining about storage space for backups but I am trying to zero in on what to attack first here. The one that interests me is “Unable to apply retention policy: failed to delete backup files error…...is locked by running session xxx-xxx [Instant recovery]. Is Veeam just too busy to start the backup because it could not apply retention policy? Not sure which item to investigate first...ar

File Copy is very slow

By now i’m using “Veeam Backup & Rep” in the free community edition - for testing some things an maybe buying a commercial license in future. The problem is, that “File Copy Jobs” (not Backup Copy) are very very slow.For Example i have to Copy an ammount of single (168.000) files with about 180 GB together to a local target disk. If i use the integrated windows copy feature these Files are copied within about 4 or 5 hours. The FILE COPY Job from Veeam runs for 25 HOURS (by now) and shows a state of 32% ready. What could be the issue for this long duration? The source and target are the same. thanks in advanceG.Huber

Error: Cannot proceed with the job: existing backup meta file 'Daily_File_Backup.vstore' on repository 'RepoName' is not synchronized with the DB. To resolve this, run repository rescan

I had to restore the server that Veeam was on to a snapshot and now I cannot get Veeam to run the daily backup job. If I rescan repositories, it will sit forever and do nothing. Is there another way around this to get backups going again? Thank you!

Resetting CBT per job settings for active fulls

We relocated one of our VMs to another backup job and noticed that the job completion status information for the VM is “Resetting CBT per job settings for active fulls”. Our backup jobs are configured with incremental backups and one synthetic full backup per week.  I am curious if we move one of the VMs to another backup job, does Veeam automatically perform an active full on it? Thanks Pete

Veeam options for longer term copies

Running Veeam v12 and currently backing up for 14 days to a local HPE storeonce.I want to also put a longer term copy into an AWS S3 bucket for about 1 year. Probably once a month.The best option I think is to perform a backup copy, not via a SOBR.If via copy is there a compatibility issue creating a copy job from storeonce catalyst repos to S3 repos? thoughts?

Random failures on new setup

So we are deploying Veeam for ourselves and I have been fighting with it for a few days.  Our setup is: Veeam server - Non-Domain joinedVeeam Proxy - Linux with XFS volume attached via RDM in VMwareA scale out Repo setup that is backed by the xfs volume from the Linux machineOur primary Altera arrays are also added into Veeam under the storage Infrastructure and i am able to browse the snapshots on them and perform restores. Both servers are located in the same site/network.  The storage is coming from a LUN on an Altera Hybrid array that is presented to both hosts in the esxi cluster.We have a mix of domain joined, non-domain joined windows machines along with some random Linux boxes.  I just have a simple nightly backup job created that has all of our servers included in it.  I have selected the Linux proxy for the backup proxy in the job which then pulls in the Scale-out Backup Repo.  In the advanced settings everything is default with the exception of changing the compression level
