Is upgrading from 9.5 still possible?

Hey guys,  i run a small server in a NGO, our Veeam is still in version 9.0 without support since 2019. I’ve recently run into a backup problem, and our support IT company, told me that i should get a newer version of Veeam, and install in a new  VM(5th).I asked if it was possible to upgrade, which they said, no, and now Veeam only does subscriptions, and proceeded to give me a budget for 3 year. From what i read perpetual is still available, just more expensive than subscriptions, but what about upgrading? Could i not install 9.5 on a new VM, renew and upgrade up to 12? What do you think?

Pause Backup/Replication Job

Hi guys,We have to take backup from large number of virtual machines in our environments and sometimes backup jobs are still running during working hours. It has impact on virtual machines performance. Is there any way to define backup window for jobs and backup/replication jobs pause temporarily? Thanks

Backup fails because no space left on device with 3.2 TB free on NFS repository

Hi, I’m running a backup job of fairly big VM (HDD1 = 1 TB and HDD2 = 3.9 TB) using VEEAM 11.0.1.1261.After Deduplication and compression, the backup size ends up around 2.4 TB.The backup storage is a NAS mounted using an NFS connection. In the console, I can check that it still has 3.2 TB left.It has been working fine until last week. Error message : 28/04/2023 16:12:33 :: Processing ubuntu Error: No space left on device.NFS status code: 28Cannot get count from WRITE3res.Failed to download disk 'EvaBuntu_2 - Copy.vhdx'.Shared memory connection was closed.Failed to upload disk. Skipped arguments: [shadowSpec>];Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}. Why is my backup job complaining that there is no more space left while I have 3.2 TB left on my repository?Any advice much appreciated :)

Veeam Recovery Media - Will not restore .vbk

Hello,I am experimenting with VBAR11 in a home lab. The backed-up data itself is not important.Boot into recovery mode via usb key. On the usb key is a .vbk file, no .vbm Use bare metal recovery option, veaam is not able to find the .vbk, if I manually select the .vbk, veeam complains about corrupted .vbm file.So it seems that recovery agent, must have a valid .vbm. but in a disaster recovery situation and the .vbm is corrupt, how do i restore?I do know that VBAR itself, can import .vbk without .vbm, so cannot recovery agent do that same?Second question, using the the recovery boot agent, how do i mount the .vbk?Thanks,Dave

Full storage not found

Has anyone ever seen a backup job fail with the error “Full storage not found”? I have no orphaned restore points, repository is good...everything looks perfectly fine. The repository is accessible and I can see the vbms and vbk files in it. I can’t find an answer for this. Full error is below: 1/23/2023 2:50:08 PM :: Failed to pre-process the job Error: One or more errors occurred.  1/23/2023 2:50:10 PM :: Unable to apply retention policy: failed to delete backup files Error: Full storage not found

Software ... no Softwares :)

Folks, I don’t want to sound like an old grumpy grand pa but.. Software is a mass noun so you don’t make a plural form out of it. I just bet and won $20 that there is no such thing as Softwares :) . Now that does not mean that language does not evolve over time, but so far that is still the case. https://www.grammarflex.com/posts/whats-the-plural-of-software

Veeam Management Agent on VBR server

Hi Folks, I am back into the wild and wonderful world of Veeam Service Provider Console after a brief sojourn. I wanted to see if there is a quick answer to this and if my old solution perhaps has a better one now.I have a VBR that is connected to the Service Provider and all backup copy jobs are working fine. In VSPC the company is smiling with a happy green Healthy! However, at the VBR level the when pressing the Management Agent icon it complains that is connecting, and can’t connect after rolling through all the gateways. I tried running through the SP properties again but no luck. Is it time to un-install the pesky agent and redeploy? The ClientAgent_error, Communication and ClientAgent logs have things like CloudGate “No such host is known” and “Endpoint Hanshake Failed” and The write operation failed, see inner exception. ---> System.TimeoutException: Could not finish read operation in timely manner.Now could this be that if they have running backups and have used up the Tena

Swap repository for Backup and BackupCopy jobs ?

HelloI’m trying to find a solution to a hypothetic scenario: tl;dr is it possible to change/swap the target repository of a Backup Job by the repository of the BackupCopy Job I have 2 datacenter, 1 VBR server, and 2 repository on each site, one for backup job target, and the other one for BackupCopy job targetevery job have a copy job associated with it, and there are a few dozens of jobs running every dayI want to plan the failure of the repository system and being able to continue to do backups, in the case where the issue is hardware or would need multiple days to repair I have no problem with restoring from the copy jobs, all the data is there as intended, but how to restart the service of “backups” during this failure?so is it possible to tell VBR to use the the existing backup copy chains to use as an existing repository (I can’t seem to be able to remap)or is that impossible and I would need a new repository, and so startiing new backup chain ?

Tape Job that deviates from Source Job

Hi, ive just setup Veeam - Backup and Replication v12 and im a little stuck on how to setup my backup scenario.What i would like to do is perform a daily weekday backup to NAS with a retention of 10 restore points (Mon to Fri, so 2 weeks) with an active full on saturday plus a full daily backup to Tape.The data is 2tb, and i use LTO6 tapes (2.4tb).The Nas job is setup, and works perfectly, but im struggling with the Tape part. The problem is that the source job, having 10 restore points (and 2 active fulls), becomes too big for the tapes but can easily fit the actual data being backed up. The active full plus the daily incremental should fit, but its the 2nd Active Full that makes it too big.Is there anywhere to set the job to backup only one chain, daily, as a full?I may be looking at this the wrong way round, and there is a probably a better solution to this, but my thinking was that the data should fit on one tape, so why not back that up, in full, daily. This would save using pools

Restore full mailbox with Veeam Explorer for Exchange - ID handling

If you want to restore a deleted Exchange mailbox (on-prem), you first have to create an empty mailbox within Exchange for the user. This has already been described earlier: https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/restore-deleted-mailbox-with-veeam-explorer-for-exchange-t16174.html Challenge is, while creating a new mailbox you also create a new ID for it. This leads to loosing some functionality (permissions to folders for 3rd parties etc., recurring appointments, etc.). Is there another known way to recover the mailbox including its original ID?I would rather have expected VEXE to create the mailbox for me while recovering - including all metadata.

Largest VM you backup?

Here’s one to find out who has the largest backup in the forums. Currently my largest server I backup is 45.1TB.  The largest one I had backing up was 115TB.  It took a while but worked fine.  I’ve been working on splitting it up in to multiple file servers to allow more concurrent streams to our backup/tape jobs.
