Hi,is SureReplica in Azure VMware Cloud possible? Replica VMs are placed in vSAN.The idea is to provide a permanent DR Test with a daily new Lab und masqueraded VMs.

Hi Team, Needed your help on this, Am trying to install Veeam VeeamBackup&Replication_11.0.1.1261_20220302 and getting below error. Setup logs does not mention anything.     

Hi,After an upgrade to B&R 12 i need to deploy components to my offsite immutable repo.I run “sudo veeamhubrepo”, chose the default user and press enter, but ssh is never enabled so my B&R server cant connect. I recall seeing a note in the header of veeamhubrepo once about SSH being enabled, but now it just showing the IP. Any hints?

Hi EveryoneLooking for an advice on the best way to keep backup repository data replicated to off-site for redundancy.The setup is: 2x hardened Linux repositories each on Synology NAS.At the moment the backups are copied using backup copy jobs, however it would not copy all of the backup data chain, just backups created after the creation of the backup copy job.I would like to keep both repositories in full sync in case on of them is lost because of the disaster.

I seem to have a lot more issues with Hyper-V that I do VMware. I was curious what you all’s overall experience is? In particular, Veeam does not seem to like clusters and I see lots of issues with checkpoint creations that pop up.

Hey there,I hope this message finds you all well. I've been encountering some frustrating issues with my cloud solutions lately, specifically related to backups. I thought it would be a great idea to reach out to this knowledgeable community for some advice, insights, and hopefully, a solution to my problem.The Problem: Backup Issues in Cloud SolutionsFor some time now, I've been using various cloud solutions to store and manage my data. I've always heard about the convenience and reliability of cloud backups, which is why I decided to rely on them for my important files, documents, and even some irreplaceable memories in the form of photos and videos.However, lately, I've been experiencing persistent problems with my cloud backups. It seems like my data isn't backing up correctly or consistently, and I'm genuinely concerned about the safety and accessibility of my information. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my cloud service provider, my settings, or something else entirely.I'm not

Hi, I would like to know, what if my customer have 2 VMs Windows Server and using file share with SMB protocol, do i have to backup those VMs as VMs or File Share ? according to Veeam Best Practices 

Hey everyone, I heard that the all new VMCE exam might be coming out soon? Is this just fantasy? cheers

Hi everyone,Does anyone know if there is a way to report on the outcome of the Storage Level Corruption Guard tests? I need to provide proof of backup integrity and I’m still a few months away of being able to have a SureBackup environment set up.

Hey Everyone, As I understand it Veeam is fully vMotion aware. That includes storage vMotion. So if someone storage vMotions a VM the replication job should not have any issues? However, if someone moves the replica to a different datastore, based on @MicoolPaul best answer then you would need to remove from the configuration database and seed and  map in the replication jobs to the replicas on the new location.  

Hi Veeam,We are taking oracle database backup through Application-Aware backup job in Veeam.It happing seccessfully. Now, we are trying to restore Oracle database to another server (Same OS and Oracle version installed). But it showing some error that “Failed to get database files from mounted backup”.Please help me on this. I dont know how to mount backup in Veeam.Thanks.The error snapshot is showing blow.  

I’m trying to do Instant Recovery of a large server from a VeeamSourceSnapshot to a different volume. There is no option of doing this, what’s the workaround? We are using NetApp and it has a 100TB limitation on the volume size so this is the reason why I would like to restore to a volume that has more free space. Appreciate your input!

I am looking for recommendation on how to design a server that can run VBR and that can be a storage repository for critical VMs. I am thinking about using this new server for instant restores or other Veeam tools that can bring a work load up quickly. This server would have high speed storage to improve the performance of the restores.  Currently I run VBR on the VMware cluster that I am backing up and I want to move VBR to stand-alone server that would stay up if the VMware cluster went down.  We currently use a Linux server with spinning disks and immutable storage as our primary backup target.  Thank you for your suggestions and recommendations.  

Hi Veeam communityI would like to hear your thoughts about pros and cons regarding GFS and Standard Mediapools.

Hi Veeam Community,I have just started in a new company and was going through their Veeam backups solution, and here I found that the consultant company had 2 backup jobs running at the same time against all servers - 1 to the harded repo. and 1 to a cloud repo. (7 days immutability. My question goes on - what would be the best practice:2 Backup jobs of all servers ( 1 to local repository and 1 to Cloud repository)   1 Backup job of all servers to local repository and then setup a Scale-Oout Repository to move the backup onto a cloud provider.  Just wanted to know your opinion before I go in dialog with the consultant.Looking forward to hear your recommendation… /Peter

Ran across an interesting quick issue post v12 upgrade.  I had a client who I upgraded to v12 (via our Service Provider Console).  I had some clients where after the upgrade, some copy jobs were not reenabled.  NOTE:  The upgrade shows as a success, but if you view the upgrade job details, it does note that the jobs weren’t reenabled.  Anyhow, I was poking that clients machine this morning and realized the copy jobs were disabled but also decided to convert them from per-job chains to per-machine chains.  I changed the backup repositories to per-machine, but when I attempted to detach the backup job from the restore points, I received the below error message. Veeam error dialog stating “Disable the primary job and all dependent secondary jobs before detaching the backup.” The strange part about this was that I had already disabled the backup jobs, and the secondary copy jobs were already disabled.  Thinking that perhaps it was tied to the replication jobs (metadata), I tried disabling

Hi, we have 3 backup copy jobs for one backup job. All backup copy jobs for a specific vm fail with the following error: 9-8-2023 22:31:45 Error: Failed to decompress LZ4 block: Bad crc (original crc: 5a73d881, current crc: 3fa0f4bc). Failed to upload disk '65505BFB' Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}. Exception from server: Failed to decompress LZ4 block: Bad crc (original crc: 5a73d881, current crc: 3fa0f4bc). Unable to retrieve next block transmission command. Number of already processed blocks: [132]. Failed to download disk '65505BFB'. The only way to solve this, was doing an active full on both the backup job and the copy jobs. I'm puzzled why this CRC error occurs. There is corruption on the source backup files (Backup validator also reports this). The backup files are located on a ReFS raid 6 volume. Integrity streams are enabled, so if there's corruption shouldn't refs detect that also? I can copy the file from windows explorer fine. If ReFS detects an inte

I'm running Server 2022 Definitely in 64 bit (Do they make 32 bit even????) and whenever I try to create a VMWare proxy or any other proxy I get the error "VMware backup proxy requires 64-bit operating system" I have no idea why, and I haven't found anywhere leading me to anyone else having this exact issue either. Any idea what might cause it?

We have six backup copy jobs that are failing with the following error;Error: Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Storages'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.Backup.Model.Storages'. We have rescanned the repositories and reran the backup copy jobs, but still experiencing this error.A case has been opened with Veeam support and we are anxiously awaiting their response.Thanks  

Hi all, i need some inputs if anyone is willing to share from their experience. I know about enterprise stuff but now i need some smaller scale solution for cca. 500TB of source data.We will use disk to disk copy and 3rd tier some tape library, what i want to know is what are the solutions for at least 2x LTO drives. (no manual intervention possible?)Environment is vmWare + some physicals (Exch...), also i need to get rid of SAN and Brocades and FC…thx in advance.

Hi All,I have a client that is running a 2012R2 Veeam server, that I’m replacing with a 2022 server. The plan is to have the data drive on this new server formatted with ReFS to take advantage of the space saving. I’ve came across the Veeamover feature in V12, but I’m not sure if I can use this to move just the performance tier of a SOBR. I still require the SOBR to function and retain history of the VMs in the cloud. Is this even possible? Or is there another way that I can achieve this? Thanks in advance
