Folks, Please don’t post brain dumps. You are not only cheating the system but also yourselves. I have had to deal with paper cert folks and believe me they don’t last long. The exam and the piece of paper are not the point. It is the process and the knowledge that is what you want. At 1 am when sitting there clueless on a severity 1 call your brain dumps will be of no use. cheers

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. 

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.

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?

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?  

Hello, I have a query.In a scenario with large mail files (OST and PST) that only change partially.Is there an option in Veeam Backup to only copy the part that has changed?How does deduplication.Does Veeam implement this functionality?Thank you for your attention.A greeting.

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

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

Is there a way to filter out jobs that are disabled? I don’t want to see failures for these in VSPC.

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. I looked at errors 1639 and 1708 but it provided little help. has anyone seen this or know a workaround?=== Verbose logging started: 3/24/2023 15:57:11 Build type: SHIP UNICODE 5.00.10011.00 Calling process: C:\Windows\OneAgent\Veeam.One.Agent.Deployment.Service.exe ===MSI (c) (20:A0) [15:57:11:775]: Resetting cached policy valuesMSI (c) (20:A0) [15:57:11:775]: Machine policy value 'Debug' is 0MSI (c) (20:A0) [15:57:11:775]: ******* RunEngine: ******* Product: C:\Windows\OneAgent\OneAgent.x64.msi ******* Action: ******* CommandLine: **********MSI (c) (20:A0) [1

Hello guys, I'm looking some informations about Virtual Tape Library (VTL) and I wanted to know if some of you use this technology and why ? 

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 

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.

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

Hi,I’ve enabled encryption on repository which allready contain some backuped vm’s.Does the data allready stored on that repository also will be encrypted or only new one ?

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

Hello, it’s about Veeam Backup for M365.would it be possible to start a backup job automatically when a previously specified backup is completed?For example:I’ve a Backup Job which safe just Microsoft Teams on a Server A.So when this Backup Job is finished, then start automatically the second Backup Job with Microsoft Teams on a Server B.

I am sure many of you don’t have access to a lab for testing and showing how Veeam works but I found this little gem which is a site that has clickable demos of different parts of Veeam.  It shows how they work, etc.So you could use this when you don’t have access to a lab or environment to show a customer/client, etc.https://veeamclick.beCheck this out and bookmark it! 

Dear Gurus,How do you enable encryption for desktop and laptop backed up data so that the administrator is not able to view the user data?

Hello to all,I configured Backup Copy Jobs to the second location via VPN.Two WAN Accelerators on source side and one on destination.VM’s with low disks are going perfectly but the problem is the big ones.Our FileServer is arround 7TB. Is it normal to take this long, its the first Backup Copy job without initial seed. 

Is there any way to successfully produce a backup copy job of a set of file shares to a rotate set of USB drives that will be swapped out weekly? If not through the mechanic of the backup copy function maybe another way? Thanks,T   

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

Hi,I have been trying to understand how the “Restore to MS Azure Iaas” works. I need to know hos this works so i can bring up this feature with our customers.I have an Azure Storageaccount as a SOBR + my local NAS.I hade some failures to achieve a Azure to Azure restore before i found out that restores to Azure wont work when my Performance Tier is online. 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! (Thanks Veeam Foums for this!)What i furthermoore found out is that the restore speed from the storage account is far away from the miximum perfomance of 60Gbps / 7500 MB/s.Restore Speed:My restore speed was 169 MB/s,. 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
