Has anyone community notifications missing starting from August 1st?

Hi, My last 2 cases are not going smooth with the Veeam support.My first case was regarding this topic and I did finally solved it myself. Then I get respons with the question how I did solved it!My new case posted 1st of aug is still in status new. Is it really because of the holidays, or are there under-staffed? I know, the severity is low, as it is not urgent, but normally I get a respons faster.The question I did ask them:My Veeam server is on a seperated VLAN, other than my ESXi servers. My storage is DirectSAN accessible. Only If I use Instant Recovery or SureBackup, the NFS mount to backup repository (local storage on server) is going over the Firewall, and I want to prevent that. So I did create on my ESXi another kernel adapter in the same lan of Veeam and yes, the connectio

Hi guys, I’ve just updated Veeam Service Provider Console from v6 to v7 and I got a communication error during Web UI component upgrade.Web UI is installed on a different server and subnet than VSPC server component.I checked the open ports and they were correct.By opening all the ports between the Web UI and the server the installation went fine.Has this ever happened to you? is it possible that the documentation is wrong and something has changed from v6?Unfortunately, I did not check whether it used any other port than the one in the documentation. (TCP,UDP 1989) Thanks Marco S.

I’m trying to figure out how to get notifications sent via email when a backup has been successfully/unsuccessfully completed.  It is on a Centos server.  I looked around in the Veeam settings by opening up veeamconfig ui, but cannot find anything in the Linux version about setting up email notifications like the Windows version allows you to do.  I have also looked into setting this up in crontab, but do not really know what to put in the script to send an email notification.

Can we do SOBR config  , by selecting only  performance tier repo and AWS Glacier repo . No capacity tier. If SOBR not possible then can we take primary backup on Local disk and backup copy to glacier repo.    

Hi all. I am quite new to Veeam. I was trying to set my laptop up to be backed up daily and at one point I selected VM as an option. I did eventually get it set up as an Agent Backup, but now I get these emails below every day and I can’t find anywhere to delete or remove anything so I quit getting this message. Any help?[Failed] Backup Policy: Agent Backup ….. (1 VMs) 1 failed

I’ll try this as well. I’ll list some hardware, requirements, and see what you guys come up with. RequirementsMultiple site for DRPredictable pricing.

Our Azure blob storage was in the hands of another companies subscription. We’ve had that blob moved to our own subscription. Can we reconnect to a blob storage with a new path and still be able to use the backups?  Will it pickup as imported object?

Hey guys,I am getting ready to deploy VEEAM V12 into my environment (finally - took 8+ months)I am needing to delve into RBAC controls and granular access rights via AD  anyone have any advice or a direction they could point me in? thanks in advance 

Hi All,Apologies if I am asking in the wrong place, but using VBR V11 Community edition.I want to simulate a DR event. I have taken a Windows  Agent → Entire computer full backup to a USB Drive.Now i want to restore just some files from this USB Backup to a new server ( where the same edition VBR is installed.From the USB Drive on the new server , double clicking on the .VBK file launches Veeam, but my concern is the following window just shows “Restore”. I Don’t want to overwrite the entire server from this backup?  Does “Restore” actually start overwriting files, or does this proceed to show more options  ( and would be better named “Next”, rather than “Restore” ) ??Many thanks in advance.

Hi all,I was checking the HCL list on QNAP QuObject devices and in the past you could find them at: https://www.veeam.com/sys469 but this now throws a 404…So checking the HCL didn’t show any Qnap devices.Aren’t they supported anymore with the QuObjects to provide local S3 compatible storage with optional immutability?   Some months ago we had a list like:
