Hello, is it supported to have Hyper-v VM with bitlocker enabled inside the guest for encrypting the data disk ? 

This is going to be my first time setting up Veeam ONE (Enterprise Manager?). Where is some good documentation on the product as far as functionality goes. Also, what are some, if any, best practices for setting it up? Should I run it in directly on the VBR server or spin up it’s own VM? Anything will help at this point.  Thanks in advance!

Hello,We have a user who has left the company, and their last backup on VBM365 is from 25/01. The issue is that we don't have any restore points, even though we have a retention policy of 7 years.What do you think could be the problem?Thank you.

I am trying to upgrade 11a (11.0.1.1261_22020302) to V12.1 via iso and when it gets to step 3 (Upgrading Veeam Explorers) a popup says that it can't find VeeamExplorerForSQL.msi_explorers.  Error: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.It is looking for that file in this location (which does not exist):C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Setup\Temp\80ca74a8-4c01-451b-b8df-3d76e7abf376\FixFiles\I can't find it anywhere on the machine.  I did find an old log file that references that file that references version 9.5.  I found that file inside an old 9.5 update.  I extracted it and put it in the location asked for, but it still does not like it. 

Hi there in Virtual World :)Running Veeam 11 - We experienced a complete full “Files to Tape” backup when the daily Tape job ran for the first time after entering Daylight Saving Time (DST) last weekend.ALL files in our backup Disk repository (xx TB) - that means UNCHANGED Veeam backup files from the last 4 months - was all sent to Tape once again - taking several job-runtime days to finish - and filling up a lot of new Tapes, which we needed to supply into the Tape library.Have anybody else experienced similar issues?As far as I have read  - Veeam operates in the UCT format - which should not be sensitive due Server time changes or DST - except changes in the local job time schedule:Daylight savings time - Veeam R&D ForumsDaylight saving switch changes job start time - Veeam R&D Forums We didn`t have any other issues running the usual VM Machine jobs to disk.This issue has been raised to the Veeam Support - and it has been escalated to their RnD engineers.So hopefully they wil

Hello guys,I m trying to used the Secure Restore with Sophos Endpoint Agent.Is not an antivirus implemented by default in the configuration files.

This is probably a relatively complicated one, but also not a critical issue for us as there’s sufficient workarounds. Not something I want to go through the trouble of a support ticket with at this time. Hoping a community member can make the seemingly complicated uncomplicated. Veeam 12.1. We have a number of systems in our environment that we use the Veeam Agent for Windows to back up. We are primarily on Nutanix AHV for our virtualization. The backups seem to work just fine. When doing some recent restore testing, we noticed something. The goal of the restore testing was to test restoring these agent backups to our Nutanix AHV cluster. When using “Restore entire VM to Nutanix AHV...” option, during the wizard when I get to the storage container page, it shows the computer, but with no disks. What I then found was that this “no disk” symptom also occurs if I use the “Instant Recovery to Nutanix AHV”, but it actually gives an error message of “The following machines have no disks, us

Looking to migrate hundreds of VMware VMs from one vcenter to another.  Different vcenter versions that don’t allow online vmotion.I’ve tried Veeam Quick Migration.  Works well but with one major hassle: you can’t select the port group mapping so after each VM is migrated you have to manually map each NIC of each VM, connect it, and power it on.I’ve tried Veeam CDP permanent failover.  Works great but with one major hassle:  All the backups are still referencing the old VMs rather than the ones you failed over to.  So now the backup chain is broken and must re-add all the VMs to the jobs.CDP is so close to being perfect but for that one flaw.  Anyway to avoid it? 

Hi Everyone,I am wondering if there is a license for Veeam ONE only (not VUL for Data Platform Advanced) as this license can be used to monitor the Virtual Infrastructure workloads that are not protected by VBR as the VUL is for 10 instances which is covered the backup instances and VONE monitoring for them but what I want to achieve is monitoring the others in the virtual environment, is that possible ? as I read in Veeam Licenses documents but still confused.Appreciate your cooperation

I posted the below on Reddit, let me know your thoughts...We're in talks at work to make a new GFS repo where we keep X daily Y weekly Z monthly and maybe a single yearly on the Veeam repository and also take a copy monthly/yearly from said repo to tape and then off to the safe deposit box at the bank. What if I lose my repo and all that data. Yeah, I might have a few monthly/yearly at the bank, but I'm hosed on the daily/weekly side. All that history, lost. Is anyone have a redundancy approach they're using? We're thinking about using a couple Synology boxes in in HA mode basically where they basically stay in sync with each other. Let me know what you think. I also think we could use a second Synology box do do backup copy jobs and keep the same GFS retention points there...

I am trying to backup a physical server with a 81.7TB volume using B&R version 12.1.1.56 and Veeam VSS Hardware Provider version 6.1.0.349.  I have deployed the Veeam agent in managed mode and created a Backup Proxy of the physical server which installed the Veeam Backup VSS Integration and Veeam VSS Hardware Provider.  According to Veeam a volume greater than 64TB can be backed up using the Veeam VSS Hardware Provider.  I don’t know how to reconfigure the managed physical server and/or backup job of the server in the Veeam Backup and Replication Console to use the Veeam VSS Hardware Provider.  I do not have any option to Manage Volumes on my ribbon under this managed server as the Veeam instructions dictate.  I have run a Rescan on my managed server which successfully completes finding all disks and volumes but still no option to Manage Volumes on my ribbon.  How can I ensure my managed server and backup job are properly using the Veeam VSS Hardware Provider?  Everything else is w

Hello, I have made upgrade from Licences 9.5b to 11a Community Edition without any Problem, but by upgrading to Version 12 Community Edition it gives me this: “[Error] Private fixes detected. Please contact our Customer Support to remove the following private fixes that are not supported by the new product version: TFS000100”There is no thread about TFS000100. In Registry there are no “Private fixes” found. Any idea?

I love this feature but with the thousands of file types I have I get a ton of false positives.Is there anyway to customize this “per server” with each file type? or disable for some servers/folders etc?When I mark a job as clean, it seems to find the files on the next job. I thought that it should assume those files to be ok going forward.

Hey everyone, I'm in the market for a new laptop and I've got my eyes set on an Intel Core i7-powered machine. However, I want to make sure it's compatible with all my needs before making the plunge. What compatibility considerations should I keep in mind when selecting an Intel Core i7 laptop? Are there specific features or specifications I should pay attention to based on my usage requirements? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences to ensure I make the right choice. Looking forward to your insights!

Hello guys, I’m trying to setup a new Veeam installation with a remote MS SQL 2022 server. I already did it in the past with another version of Veeam but this time I’m facing an issue.The Database server is in another VLAN, rules are ok on the firewall. On the DB server, I disabled for the moment the Windows Firewall.In the SQL Server Network Configuration I set TCP/IP like this: But during the Veeam installation I got the following error:My service account for the installation is local administrator of the Veeam Server and has sysadmin permission on the SQL Server.Any idea? 😄 I’m not an expert with MS SQL so I have maybe miss something.​​​​​​​

Just wondering if there is any official information on Veeam Update 12.1.2 out yet? What might be coming with it, improvements to SOSAPI? I have heard rumors but wanted to know if I had missed any official news.Thanks
