SureBackup with Agents is a brand new V12 feature I already blogged about:SureBackup with physical workloads - and some more gems | Veeam Community Resource HubAlready using it in production environments, we now faced an issue with a job consisting of a DC and and Exchange server. Both are physical machines originally. For the DC everything worked fine in the SureBackup run. But the Exchange server failed with:Error: Results: cannot detect IP addressThis is right at the beginning of the testing process and even when I disable all checks.Doing an Instant-Recovery manually with the Exchange, I could determined that the exchange VM - after the necessary P2V and intial boot - shows up an “unknown network adapter” in device manager. Installing the built-in Windows driver

We are using Veeam Backup and Replication 11, getting this error when backing up the servers: 

I’d backed up some data for a group of users during a mail migration. The job is complete so I’ve deleted it all to free up the licenses for another job. Unfortunately I believe that I’ve done things in the wrong order. The repository has been deleted and now I can’t get “Remove-VBOLicensedUser”. For every user it outputs:“Remove-VBOLicensedUser : The process cannot access the file '\\10.1.1.1\office365backups\BackupName\Repository.xml' because it is being used by another process” The repository listed is nothing to do with these users and it’s not in user by any process that I can see - certainly openfiles is blank. Any idea how to proceed? 

We have used NAS device to create a backup folder with Commvault. Can we upload the backup from NAS to Cloud? We are using Community Edition 10

A little background for those who don't know I developed and have managed a custom search engine for Veeam named resources for (almost) 5 years. With the success of this one hitting over 200k unique searches I want to and expand and test a new search engine that pulls in content from third-party content creators outside the Veeam domain. I struggled if I should put this content directly into the original search engine or to keep it separate and I have decided to keep it separate for now... with the possibility of adding it into the main search depending how it does later. Please read AllWhat I need from you: If you would like your blog or you would like to promote someone's blog who has good Veeam content please comment that URL. I am looking for additional things that might help define good tags. Content can be anything from cross langue support, best practice, release in information, troubleshooting, and any

Hi Everyone, Always check the latest patch information and save yourselves some time troubleshooting :) I had a tenant run into this error on the health checks during health checks. Turns out it is a known issue and is resolved in the latest patch: https://www.veeam.com/kb4420?ad=in-text-link#:~:text=Cannot%20find%20previous%20full%20backup%20to%20calculate%20incremental%20backups%20estimate

 VeeamON 2023 was absolutely amazing! From bringing together our amazing community (YES ,you! ) , experts, partners, and our customers and share some great ideas to the famous venue in Miami and the awesome party! It was a one-of-a-kind experience! We had a mind-blowing lineup of 156 sessions this year, both in person and online. And get this: over 23,000 people attended! But don't worry if you missed out or want to relive the magic. You can catch most of the sessions on-demand at www.veeamon.com. How cool is that? But hey, we're not done yet! We're on a mission to help our customers protect their data, whether it's on-premises or in the cloud. We want to make sure your business keeps rocking no m

Hey everyone, Was browsing the R&D forums (I know, I’m a traitor!), and discovered this post from Gostev announcing the end of VeeamPN!https://forums.veeam.com/post467237.html#p467237 This caught me by surprise as I felt like more noise would’ve been made around it, maybe I was one of the only people that used it, but I remember once dealing with a managed network that was refusing to integrate additional routes to perform SureReplica at a remote site, so I used VeeamPN to create a tunnel between the sites and create my own route that way! 😆 So long VeeamPN, you were awesome. 🍻

If I’m creating a Windows backup, for a particular drive on a file server….is it best to create a File Share backup or a Volume level backup (essentially both backup the same set of files).  ie which is most efficient or recommended as a best practice?

Hey guys,Are there any internal components in veeam software for NAS repository?I recently faced an error in customer environment where the backup copy job resulted in an error saying “Can’t call Remote Procedure Call for NfsIsExist “

Good evening, several of my Replications and backups take a long time to complete and I would like to know the cause and the means to resolve this.   

Hi everyone, I thought this was a good conversation point I wanted to share, as the more I thought about it, the more my thoughts on the subject changed. AMD have released an errata listing that details how their AMD EPYC Rome (7xx2) processors can, under specific conditions, crash. I’ve included the statement in its entirety below:I’m conflicted on this, my initial reaction was “wow they won’t fix this?!”, then I thought, well I guess it would involve a new stepping, and the chips were released in 2018, that’s not too unreasonable.The security conscious part of me thought, oh boy who isn’t patching their servers in nearly 3 years, but even that thought then pivoted to consider that actually with some of the live/hot patching options now available, OS-level patching is becoming less tied to a reboot. Then th

Hello guys, how are you?I have two backups at the moment, one is on storage and one is on external hard drives. The problem is in the external hd's the error that appears is this: Failed to connect to Installer service.Job has failed. See logs for details.Can you help me? 

I did it again. Went to hit the like button and missed. lol Can you uncheck best answer once you check it? It’s not a big deal, but the second I clicked it i was thinking, that is going to look odd.  

What an event! I will admit I was slightly nervous about attending my first VeeamON. From not knowing what to wear, looking at the heat and temperature for the week or what to expect.  My flight there only had a 30 minute layover which was a bit concerning as well. After getting swindled at the airport for a “TAXI” when the guy clearly took me in a Mercedes SUV, I sucked it up and paid the large fair and arrived at a beautiful hotel. (I knew the second I got in and he stepped on the gas it was going to be expensive lol)  The SUV was quite nice and he got me there quick but that hurt the wallet pretty bad. I quickly installed Uber for the rest of the trip.  The view from my room was better than expected and I wandered around by the pool and had a great meal at La Cote.  I believe this was the night Chris took me to CVS to get some snacks which was good as I didn’t have any clue where I was going and most likely wasn’t going to wander off solo

have "borrowed" the content from the VeeamON event website before it disappears. I have extracted all the session details and saved them in markdown documents. Additionally, I have downloaded and stored all the referenced presentation files in this archive. Each session markdown provides comprehensive information including abstract, speakers, and resources for download."But why, Ben?!"Yesterday, a call for help was issued on the Vanguard Slack channel... And now we have an archive of the VeeamON sessions that took place in Miami!No point in embedding much here so head on over tohttps://github.com/benyoungnz/VeeamON-2023-ArchiveEither clone it offline, or you can navigate through the Github interface, all markdown

Hello friends, all good with you?I have backup making in a storage and in external HD's, the backup of the HD's is giving the following error: Failed to connect to Installer service.Job has failed.Can you help me to solve this problem?

I did a VeeamON review post on LinkedIn. You can find it here. Thought it would be neat to have a central place for others, who didn’t write a post on the ‘Hub’, to share a link to their own write-up so people can read them. Or actually, if you want to share your Hub post...I think that’s cool too...all in a central spot! 😊 If you feel so inclined, please post a link to your review below.Thanks all!

Hi,I have a Dell Data Domain repository for local backups and i want to send some critical VMs backups to the AWS S3, to withstand disasters.So when I tried to create a scale-out using the existing Dell data domain and AWS S3, the interface told me that all tasks that use the Dell data domain will be updated to point to the the scale-out repository.Is there a way to keep the majority of backup jobs pointing to the Dell data domain and choosing some backup jobs to point to the scale-out repository?

We’ve been testing our Orchestration Plan and after failover to our DR site, the certs on our vCenters were replaced and broke the connections between our DRO and vCenters. Had to refresh the connection so the DRO can take in the new certs. However, when we tried to failback to our primary site, we had the login error to vCenter. The issue was fix when we had to go into the built-in VBR and refresh the connection in VBR itself.  I would tend to think that DRO itself would be able to restore the connections within its built-in VBR and VeeamOne. Let me know what you think or if I’m missing something here. 

Greetings everyone!I am very new to Veeam, did a few installs & backup/restore already with the software but still I’m way too far from understanding the full structure of the tool.Is Veeam a viable solution to backup vCenter Server Appliance? Currently the organization I joined recently has a nightly backup of the appliance. (doing a research about how Veeam can be a viable solution in long term, so I would greatly appreciate if someone can share their expertise on the matter, thank you!)

I have what I hope is a simple question. What’s the best practice for the a high availabilty SQL server for the VSPC or Veeam ONE configuration database. I see in https://www.veeam.com/kb2301 how to deploy SQL AOAG for VBR and VEM. I’m not sure if this applies to VSPC or Veeam ONE.

Hi all,I want to share with you a problem I encountered on a customer while upgrading Veeam Enterprise Manager from v11a to v12 latest release. The environment This is a simple Veeam v11a installation, VBR + EM.The customer uses Windows Defender for Endpoint (Antivirus/EDR) on the server, the exclusions are correctly set as per KB https://www.veeam.com/kb1999. The upgrade..Ouch! After successfully updating a dozen Veeam environments to v12, I start this new upgrade with the confidence "It works!".Once I get to the end of the wizard and start the update, at some point you receive the error "Failed to create website 0x80070020".
