For those that use Veeam ONE they have released a patch that adds a few new things and fixes others.  One of the main additions is for the upcoming vSphere 8U1 update.https://www.veeam.com/kb4430

Hello Community,I just wanted to share some good news that my third edition of my book based on v12 will be published this Friday the 28th.  I will share links once I get them from the publisher as I will be doing a blog post.Hope to see lots of orders going in once it hits the market.  😎Cheers,Chris

Hello Everybody, i’am new……...i need to buy the god licence for my new backup.I habe 45VM wand more or less 15TB backup stuff…….what you mean better to buy a Essential Licence or a Advanced. (i will use also Veem One).The Veeam funtionallity for Essential are the same as Advanced?I have only Hyper-V VM onprimise, but in 3 yeas maybe we go to Azure, so i think better VUL Licence and not Core. Thank for the help Thank a lotAlfred

I found this tool today. I thought it would be helpful for anyone evaluating a migration to cloud. The sections for object storage are also particularly interesting with respect to Veeam products.https://projector.cloud-mercato.com/projects/aws-vs-azure-vs-google-vs-ibm-vs-oracle-vms-q2-2023

Hi All,This is my first post on this site.I have been asked to backup a database on one of our servers before setting it up to be decommissioned. The DB needs to be retained for 40 years and before I can archive off the DB I need to ensure that we are able to access it. I am very  new to veeam and wondered if anyone knows how I can backup just the DB and not the VM? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In Feb 2023 NetApp announced the release of ONTAP 9.12.1 to introduce some new hardware the C-Series models. One big item that customers were eager for was large volume and LUN support. This was experimental and was not enabled without support assistance.It is now enabled by default in ONTAP 9.12.1P2 and later releases. Please see images below to compare the old and new Volume and LUN sizes.This will open up new opportunities for existing customers running out of space on their ONTAP Veeam backup repos. They can increase them to use larger LUNs 128 Tib or Volumes 300 Tib.  Image 1 - Max LUN size on ONTAP 9.12.1P2 LUN 128 TiB versus ONTAP 9.12.1P1 LUN 16 TiBImage 2 - Max Vol

Hello everybody, i use MABS and Veeam for backup the same Exchange Server and SQL whats happen with the transaction logs? Is this a good Idea or not? Better to user only Veeam? Can This cause of problems. Thank a lotAlfred

I just upgraded to v12 and the direct-to-object storage feature is exciting but I am having trouble doing what I would like to do.I have the veeam service provider console and associated cloud connect server, and several single physical servers at different customer sites that I would like have a local backup + direct to object storage backup strategy for.  I was hoping to use veeam agents on the physical servers and just use my console + cloud connect server to manage / monitor the backups. Ideally backup data would just go to the local storage at the same physical site as the server (NAS/external USB), and be uploaded directly to object storage without going through the cloud connect server.I considered using a scale-out backup repository for this, but trying to configure a scale out backup repository on my cloud connect server, but I can’t have an extent be local storage.I considered installing a backup server on the physical server but this seems like a bad

Hei,  I’m trying to understand a mysterious problem with Veeam Agent on Windows 7 SP 1.  The system is relatively old and backed up occasionally on request only. The last backup is about two years old. When I tried start Veeam Agent today (version was ~2019ish), no window appeared. Not even the icon in the task bar showed up. I decided to uninstall the old version and went for 6.0.2.1090. However, this time the installer (even when run as administrators) doesn’t do anything. No error messages, no exception - nothing. 

Is there a way to take VMware snapshots instead of production data?

Bom Dia a todos,Estou com um problema em configurar o envio do backup do Job.Abaixo está a configuração e o erro do backup da tarefa.A Versão do Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5.4.2866 

Hi Folks, I like to travel in local style while in new cities. Taxi and Uber rides for me are the same everywhere, but train, bus and feet always provide a different experience. Just ask @Chris.Childerhose and Nico Stein about our fun ride on the Prague metro then long walk through the city :). Anyways, Miami is no exception. For $2.25 you can get a bus to Miami Beach. There is a free shuttle that runs up and down Miami Beach as well. Checkout the options here: https://www.miami-airport.com/public-transportation.asp

Hi all,patch search day today 😅Missed this one, it came out a few weeks ago and I still haven't installed it:https://www.veeam.com/kb4441I share with you..enjoy! 💚

Hi Folks, I have been out of the Cloud Connect loop for a bit. As I understand it you can no longer do Quarterly GFS backups on backup copy jobs to CC. Has anyone thought of some original ideas to get around this? If you have a customer that wants to send GFS to AWS Quarterly, I was thinking for them to simply add a direct AWS s3 repo to  V12 and if their bandwidth allows use the windows scheduler to run active fulls every quarter. Anyone else had this issue?

Hello,I installed veeam on debian 11 following the doc. The problem is that veeam can't create the snapshot. Can you help me ?

Hello,The question is in the tittle :)How do you perform the 3-2-1 golden Rules with Veeam for Microsoft Azure?I read this blogspot https://micoolpaul.com/2021/04/19/veeam-achieving-3-2-1-1-0-protection-for-cloud-native-workloads/ (thanks @MicoolPaul ) but I have some questions !Do you keep all your backup datas in Azure or use another repository for your copy?To be able to make backup copy an VBR must be deploy right ? Where do place you VBR server OnPremise on Azure? If we want to transfer backup data located in the Azure block to another S3 compatible storage, will transaction fees be applied?thanks in advance

Latest VBR 12 build installed on a workgroup server running Windows Server 2022.vSphere 7U3k.When trying to restore a file from a backed up vSphere VM, I get the following errors in the Backup Browser:  After the last error the Backup Browser closes.

Trying to upgrade to V12 I get this in one of the steps. Attached is the picture with the error. I can’t upgrade those servers as of now. I suppose I should stay on V11.RegardsO

For v12, it seems that only Azure or S3 (Glacier) are supported as Archive Tiers for SOBR.  I would like to use Google (archive buckets) but I don’t get the option to choose it as an archive tier.   Is this possible?  If not, will it be supported in an upcoming version(s?)   what about other cloud storage like Wasabe/S3 compatible? Thanks.

We are migrating some of our VMs to Azure (AVS) using vmware HCX. We just migrated a VBR to the AVS environment.So Veeam when Veeam tried to backup a VM in the AVS environment, we get this error: 11/14/2022 10:53:45 PM :: Processing bbbbbbVM Error: Failed to open VDDK disk [[vsanDatastore] c9d37263-be7b-37b8-2875-08c0eb40d47a/bbbbbbVM.vmdk] ( is read-only mode - [true] )Logon attempt with parameters [VC/ESX: [vc.4bc149b43878428757ed53.westus2.avs.azure.com];Port: 443;Login: [userdite@abd.lcl];VMX Spec: [moref=vm-1073];Snapshot mor: [snapshot-1084];Transports: [nbd];Read Only: [true]] failed because of the following errors:Failed to open disk for read.Failed to upload disk. Skipped arguments: [vddkCo  Looks like a permission issue with using the CloudAdmin account (which is the account with the highest privilege) that we are allowed to use in AVS.We can do backups using agent based install but looking for other alternatives. Thanks.

Unable to delete this folder causing application aware backups to fail.The service is not running and PID 4 (NTOSKernel, system) is locking the file. Reboot resolves the issue but this issue is happening to more than a dozen of production servers.What suggestion do you guys to resolve the issue without any reboot? Thanks. 

Hi All,I’m a Veeam newbie, doing some development work with the rest API. Using the REST api endpoint: /api/query?type=BackupJobSession I can get a list of backup job sessions. Within that I get the link to get the JobReference information. That's all fine, but what I need to get is the job log data:  Is this information available via the api? Thanks,Tim.

Hi there, I run an MSP and have just started to get get familiar with Veeam products. The community editions are fantastic.I’ve setup some Sharepoint jobs which are now working, but get a 404 error on a sharepoint file which highlights the job with a warning. https://xxx.sharepoint.com/All Users Shared/_catalogs/masterpage/v4.master A few questions if you don’t mind.How can I exclude the path / file or supress the error When SP backups are running - (Physical machine with CPU i7 4.0, 32Gb) spikes and holds 100% for long periods of time - is this normal? e.g. SP has about 30k objects Memory can go to 5Gb-15Gb - will it use as much as it can? I had some 429 or throttling issues, but adding more applications fixed it issueThank you very much,DP
