What does " Warning: Task was not processed in the current session " mean?

What does " Warning: Task was not processed in the current session " mean? I receive the warning after it tries to run a backup copy job.  Any advice on what this means, why this happened, or how to solve the issue?I get the same message after running a new sync after about 10 minutes. Job will finish with warnings, with no successes.

Backup Enterprise Manager account locked out

Trying to migrate Enterprise Manager to a new Server. I stopped the Veeam services on the old server and disconnected it from the network. I installed the EM on the new server and pointed it to an old DB that was used by the old server. There was a dialogue window confirming that the DB was owned by the old EM server and that it would be transferred to the new EM server.What happened next is that the the service account was getting locked out. So I had to roll back the changes. Good thing, I did not uninstall the EM from the old server per the instruction on https://www.veeam.com/kb1889 . Curious what happened here.

Database corruptions on restore

Hi All, I have recurring intermittent issues with restoring VMs. Host machine is Windows 2016 Hyper-VWith VMs ranging from Windows 2012 r2 to 2016 server.I am not getting any errors reported in the backup or restore process, but what i find is on starting up the VM a database might be corrupted. This can range from NTDS, DHCP, or single exchange databases.I have noticed that if i do a restore of just the disk file, instead of a full VM restore that the VM will then work fine.Backups are made to a set of rotated USB hard drives, however, issues still occur when the files are copied to a local hard drive.We were running an old version of 9.5 but have since tried community editions of 11 and 12.Anyone have any thoughts? Im guessing it might have something to do with replaying transaction logs?

Free space on tape

Likely a noob question, but just want to be sure things aren’t broken.I’ve got a setup with Veeam B&R Community Edition on a single windows machine. I have full backups scheduled weekly, and daily backups every day, to a Quantum LTO-7 drive, using LTO-6 media.The console reports the total capacity of the tapes as 2.1TB. Allowing for the whole base 10 / base 2 argument, this is what I’d expect. The full backup (done last night) reports total transferred is around 1.1TB, but the tape is only reporting around 250GB free. I’m expecting around a TB free (2.1TB - 1.1TB). You can also see that the “daily” tapes are reporting 2.1TB free (again, this is expected - there’s not a lot written, maybe ~90MB per day, so not enough to make a difference to the free space reported)Is there something amiss somewhere, or am I going to have to migrate to LTO-7 media a lot sooner than I thought?

Move Veeam 365 Azure image from one subscription to another

I am having a hard time trying to migrate our Veeam365 (azure marketplace image) VM in Azure to another subscription, due to Microsofts restriction regarding move VMs with a plan attached. My latest idea was to use Azure Recovery Service to replicate the vm, and then do a permanent failover. The ASR supports cross-over subscription so it would do the job.When doing the failover, I get an error saying that I need to accept the terms of the image vms.This should be done with the azure cli command: az vm image accept-terms --urn veeam:office365backup:veeamoffice365backup:3.0.0have also tried with the subscription id in the paramteres, but the results is the same:The VM image can not be found. I guess its because its an older vm-image which Veeam now doesnt offer on that azure marketplace. So where can I go from there..? I am starting to perhaps use Veeam for this just case but before spending more time it would be great to now if this Plan paramteres is somehow following the imagedisc in

Why take a backup or recovery service?

I sort of understand backup and recovery...but if you have data, you have data, no? What were the reasons you use a backup or recovery service? I don’t understand what problems it might solve

Can't install VeeamOne Agent

Hello, Just getting into Veeam. Trying to install VeeamOne agent on my Veeam B&R box from my standalone VeeamOne server. However, it keeps failing out. I’ve tried unloading any anti-virus, disabling firewall. I’m running it using administrator credentials. It is not domain joined so it does not have any odd security policies. I’m using ComputerName\Administrator for the installation account.

Pre-Veeam V12 Upgrade

Prior to upgrading to Veeam V12, ensure that, "Transform previous backup chains into rollbacks" is not enabled in your environment. If it is, the upgrade will fail as per KB4390: Feature Deprecation: "Transform previous backup chains into rollbacks" (veeam.com)I just wanted to point out a slight caveat when checking our environment. If you decide to check each job setting and disable the option, bear in mind, if you have a snapshot job with storage integration, it may still show as enabled. Normally a snapshot job looks like as follows without an option to select the backup chain option: However, running the PowerShell command:Get-VBRJob | where {$_.BackupTargetOptions.TransformIncrementsToSyntethic -eq $True}returns the following: This can be easily sorted by running:Set-VBRJobAdvancedBackupOptions -Job "Job Name" -TransformIncrementsToSyntetic $false

Install Veeam B&R on second site. License?

Hello,As I’m doing Backup Copy Jobs to second location I think it would be good to have Veeam B&R on that site also if somethings happens with primary location.For me I would need advice on licensing the second Veeam B&R.My primary Veeam B&R is on the primary site so If everything goes down there is no way to restore VM’s without it.

Backing up a remote server drive shared across a L2TP VPN.

I have installed Veeeam Backup V12 Community edition on a local Windows 10 PC.  I have a 4TB external USB drive connected to this machine that I intend to use as a backup repository.The local machine uses a VPN connection to connect with a shared windows server 2019 drive located on a remote server. The connection is always on.In my reading across various forums, Veeam seems to the the product of choice to accomplish this. The tutorials I have read thus far appear to target a much higher level of backup sophistication (VMs, Hyper* and whatnot). Can anyone please advise or point me in the right direction to accomplish this somewhat trivial task?Thanks

Azure Immutablity - possible to enable it on existing container?

One of the great features we’ve gotten with V12 is object-lock with Azure S3.@Rick Vanover did a great walkthrough for MS Ignite last year with a V12 beta already.With new storage accounts and containers it works as he explained, which I could prove in a few environments already. My (and some of my customer’s) question now is: can we enable it safely and supportedly on an existing blob bucket with let’s say hundreds of TB of data already inside? First, you would have to enable “version level immutabilty” within the container: Quite easy while creating a new container like Rick has shown, but if you would want to do this afterwards, you first had to enable a policy on the container: Having this policy also makes the container differ from a freshly set-up immutable container. The latter would not have this policy.To add this policy one would also have to enable versioning for the storage account beforehand: I tried that in a testing environment and ended up being able to activate immutab

Windows 10 failed to backup to NAS

Hi, I tried my luck with the subreddit but I recon this is a better place for support. I was recently pointed to Veeam products for backing up my local machine onto my NAS server.The machine runs Windows 10 with no VMs, ryzen 5900x, a 2.5gb nic, and it includes 1tb ssd and 1tb nvme (OS) for backup. The pc is connected via direct ethernet to the nas (10.0.10.1)I've gone through the job configuration OK; the backup job was created successfully.  However, when the job runs and begins to backup, it fails with an undisclosed error "28/02/2023 20:05:14 :: Error: Error in the application "   Upon investigation of the logs, 10mins into the backup: [01.03.2023 02:10:15] < 45676> cli| ERR |Failed to dispatch pending requests[01.03.2023 02:10:15] < 45676> cli| >> |Data error (cyclic redundancy check).[01.03.2023 02:10:15] < 45676> cli| >> |Asynchronous read operation failed[01.03.2023 02:10:15] < 45676> cli| >> |--tr:Error code: 0x00000017[01.03.2023 02:1

The process didnt restore FROM Azure as i wanted to test out.When i put the Perfomance Tier in maintenence mode i got it to work!

This can ofcourse be a “OK” speed but i cant find out what the maximum speed can be or what the bottleneck could be for restoring. Conversion Speed:After the data is restored from the Azure storageaccount the data is then converted into a VM.  My concern is really about 2 things - “Documenta

Veeam Agent for Windows says it's in managed mode

Hi there!I am installing the Veeam agent for Windows (version 5.0.3.4708) on a Windows Server 2012 R2 witch is up for migration this Friday. We’re taking backups to our Veeam server. But directly after I install the software it says that it’s centrally managed. I have scanned trough the Forums and all the KBs on the internet. I have tried recreate the database for the Agent, I have tried uninstalling (deleting anything in the registry that have the name Veeam in it), Tried experimenting with the registry keys (says read only mode = 1) and (managed mode =1)I have tried set those values to zero, and tried to open the application and then it opens, but once I click on “Create backup job” the application hangs. And once I restart the application it just says that it’s in managed mode. I have tried to run the Veeam.Configiration utility witch is in C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint and try to remove the ownership with that, and use the combination of -force, and it just says that it Fays with

Running backup with very little space left render QNAP NAS unresponsive

Hi,Does anybody has encountered the following odd situation: Situation (a): QNAP NAS full/over quota. When running the Veeam backup, it fails as expected reporting that the target directory is full.Situation (b): QNAP NAS with very little space (32MB left of 2TB). When running the Veeam backup, it hoses the NAS ....Top  Where in the second situation the QNAP NAS can no longer be accessed.  Any already attached ssh session becomes ‘stuck’ as soon as it tries to access the disk.  Also the number of smb process on the QNAP NAS keeps increase over-time. I have a Windows 10 machine with Veeam 11.0.1.1261 running backups remotely to a SMB shared on a QNAP with QTS 5.0.1.2194. Is there anything that I can do to prevent this from happening (i.e. actually get an error from Veeam in the second situation rather than an unresponsive NAS)?Thanks.
