Hello! I’m using Veeam Agent for Windows 6.0.2.1090 (free edition) for my backups. I have it set to hibernate my PC after the backup is completed. However, I find that even though the wake + backup + hibernation is successful, the next time I wake the PC after a backup, shortly afterwards, it hibernates without me doing anything. It happens even if I leave the PC on the login screen. I’m on Windows 11 Home 22H2 and see Event ID 187 in the system logs when this happens: <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">- <System>  <Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power" Guid="{331c3b3a-2005-44c2-ac5e-77220c37d6b4}" />   <EventID>187</EventID>   <Version>0</Version>   <Level>4</Level>   <Task>243</Task>   <Opcode>0</Opcode>   <Keywords>0x8000400000000404</Keyword

I am trying to upgrade Veeam B&R Community Edition from v10 to v12.1 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 physical server. During the upgrade process System Configuration Check the result shows that Microsoft Powershell v5.1 requires a reboot, and the installation process will continue after reboot. After I reboot the installation process begins again from the beginning, resulting in the same message. So this has created a loop. I manually installed Powershell 7.1 but it appears the OS considers this a separate version from the original Powershell 4 version. So it doesn’t appear that the B&R installer realizes PS 7.1 is installed. How do I get around this installation loop? I have tried uninstalling B&R and starting from scratch, but the same issue appears. TIA

Backing up the OS on a W10 Pro system, to USB RDX cartridge. Backs up the C drive, WinRETools, then hangs backing up a 10.9GB restore partition at 10.8. Been going for over an hour and a half this try. Tried letting it go overnight and it stopped with a red x. Also tried backing up just a 10GB Folder and it completed and then said there was no restore point when I tried to “mount” the backup to restore a file. These were just test runs, will probably just wait and try again when there is another version. Not sure if anyone else had seen such.  

I have a situation to change the Veeam secondary old repository to Linux Hardened repository, Below are the details; I have installed RHEL in DR Server I need some guidelines in Scrips to configure the Linux Hardened Repository (RHEL 9.2)Moving the backup from old repository to new one without any impact

Hi All,required your help on this issue.We are trying to add a RHEL 8 installation (physical machine) as Linux hardened repository.It fails with error - Veeam transport installation fails on Linux repository. There no ports block or firewall blockingWe are working per article https://www.veeam.com/kb4250, but any other leads  .  

Hello to all,It’s me again with the new topic. 😁I have question about Retention Policy.How the chain is going to be deleted?As I try to figure out it should be when the file is created and from that day it will be available before the retention policy in my case “14” days is over.On the 15th day it will be erased or?This is my current settings: I have active full backups on the first Friday.We are doing full backups on Friday and the rest is incremental.Can someone give me more information on retention policy and also on the Synthetic full backups periodically.Thank’s to all the forum users.Probably the best forum in my opinion.  

Dear All,Our Veeam backup version is 12.0.0.1420 P23230718 and Veeam Agent version is 6.0.2. we want to  veeam bare metal recovery but see the error “Saving restore logs Error: Error in the application”, please advise and thank you 

How to retain VMs brought up using VDRO longer than 7 days?In order for us to retain the VMs past 7 days, we decided to basically stop Veeam services on our VDRO server. Needless to say, our VDRO is inoperable at this state. We’d like to bring it up and not affect the VMs that were created. So I think, this means that we need to modify entries in the VDRO database to “cleanly” remove this from VDRO but un-touch on the vSphere side. We can rename the objects in vSphere but not sure if this would work since VDRO may be using object IDs in its DB instead of object name.  The VM involves is a big DB and just running a DB check took about a week and after this a patch needs to be applied necessitating another check that is why we need it longer than 7 days.  Thanks for the ideas and suggestions. I have also opened a low sev ticket with support and will share what they recommend.  

Is there a way to set/adjust  the spacing on the Veeam O365 job reports?  Seems like a lot of unnecessary word wrapping going on.

Hi, I recently updated vcentre and had to create a new backup task as the old one was no longer working. However, I noticed that veeam backup created many orphan files as a result of each backup and I have to go to vcentre to consolidate these backup.  The files are named as MyVM-000001-ctk.vmdk, MyVM-000001.vmdk and it goes on for a while till in my case, 000046. I also note that there was some information displayed - “MyVM has stuck VM snapshot, will attempt to consolidate periodically” I am on veeam backup and replication version 11. This was working well previously before the vcentre upgrade.  Thanks in advance.

hello,I’m a little bit confused about application aware processing on veeam, what is it for actually  ?, for example, if I have database (MS.SQL) on my source backup, do I have to enable AAP on it , so I can also backup & restore that database. or do I have to install plug-in on source backup ? Thank You

Hello, I am new to using Veeam and in my small laboratory I am testing rotating disks :I have a retention policy of 21 and I have 3 disks (one per week) : If I understand correctly it would be 7 per disk The question is: if I use Forever Forward Incremental when the disk already has 7 points and I connect it again, will it merge the old incremental and save only full backup? Thanks

Hello Community,as part of a hardware refresh project project for a new customer, we are planning on creating a separate /24 VLAN subnet behind the firewall in order to better segment and protect the Production vSphere environment, the new soon to come vSphere DR cluster as well as the Veeam backup fabric as they currently reside in the same flat VLAN and IP subnet where all clients and servers reside (as depicted below):====================================================================================================Currently the Veeam Backup server/primary backup repository is a physical Windows server running Windows Server 2019 with 50TB of local storage. We are planning on moving the Veeam Backup Server to a new dedicated VM hosted on the soon to come vSphere DR cluster and, at the same time, repurpose the primary

We have a job configured in Veeam Plug-in for Rman, version 12, and retention is not working. With this Plugin, we configure everything from the Veeam console, I attach images. The retention is 7 days, the repository is a disk (not tape), a level 0 backup runs on Tuesdays and differential every day. The jobs finish fine, without alerts, but on the seventh day nothing is deleted. Question: do I have to configure something else in Rman? We did not find any more Rman options when configuring the Plugin from the Veeam console. Thank you

Hi,I have one task and need the following purposes:Daily Incremential Backup and keep only 7 restore points. Create the full backup every fourth of the week and keep 3 restore pointsCan I do that? And how can I do?I am using veeam backup and replicate 12.

I’m migrating my Veeam install to new brand new VM. The original Veeam server is Windows 2019 running Veeam B & R & Veeam ONE. The original install was v11 that was upgraded to v12, currently using MSSQL.The new instance Windows 2022 running a fresh install of only Veeam B & R using Postgres.I’m going through the steps in the Veeam B&R Configuration Restore Wizard when I run into the this error:SSPI authentication failed for user “HOSTNAME\Administrator” I’m using Windows authentication for the Postgres credentials. Has anyone run into a solution for this error?

Hello everyone!Thanks in advance , I have similar error about four weeks for this VM  now. most of the time  of the time backup jobs  are showing this error for several backup jobs. the error is this one:6/11/2023 11:47:56 PM :: Failed to create VM recovery checkpoint (mode: Veeam application-aware processing) Details: Failed to create VM (ID: df0ee189-6536-44d4-9bab-347e770cffca) recovery checkpoint.

We been instructed to change our environment from a tape library system to a ejectable tape.  We can fit a set of our most critical data on a single LTO-8 tape, and have it changed daily by our Colo. The tape library will be maintained for the “nice to have” data.The basic goal is to be able to restore critical data with nothing remaining of the VEEAM install but a tape and a printed copy of the encryption password. To table top this:  We would like to have a single daily tape that has all of our incremental and synthetic fulls written to it.  There is plenty of room for this as the existing repo has only 6.4TB used in it.  The whole repo directory simple needs moved to tape daily when the job is complete.  Q1:  Is the basic goal here achievable?Q2: What type of tape job can ensure that both the increments and the synthetic fulls make it onto every days tapes? TIA

When researching backup strategies, I think I understand that Veeam creates “snapshots” which are backups, which need to be restored, which can take time… I.e. if my OS drive fails, I need to boot into a Preboot Environment (PE) or Recovery Environment (RE), then start the restore process, which might take hours. But in theory, with a separate hard drive with a cloned version of the OS, I could swap the drive, and boot up into a working OS installation in approximately 5 minutes. But I can’t find any explanation if Veeam offers the ability to create an image or clone of a full drive and or partition, and I am asking if there is a reason for this omission?I have read on other websites that the built-in Windows 7 create system image “feature” is not to be trusted, it is old and no longer supported.Therefore it seems like an Imaging / Cloning feature would be important to make Veeam a complete protection solution.Otherwise I need to buy

Hello guys,One of my client can’t used the migrate to production feature. Is there some prerequisites? I miss maybe something :DThanks.

I tried to add my certificate according to this page: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/hyperv/import_tls_pfx.html?ver=120Now VeeamBackupSvc service is not starting showing 1064 error and obviously I can’t use Console to create new self-signed certificate as a workaround. It’s B&R version 10a so I cannot Repair installation - there’s no such option in the installer.How can I fix this?
