Agent OS is CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core).Using a 3rd party cluster.Backup fails with the following error.What should I do? =====================ERR : Resource deadlock avoided.  

VBR v12 guest file restore---happen error message is as below:Secondary GPT header LBA 209715199 exceeds the size of the disk (86401630720)Agent failed to process method {Mount.GenericMount)I tried to change the mount server of the repository, but I still had no luck.Any idea? 

Is it possible to have Veeam 12.0 back up SQL Server system databases? If so where would I find it or please point me in the right direction to a document.Not being able to backup system dBs isn’t good. Thanks

Hi VEEAMers! Finishing deployment of our VEEAM environment with Virtual Lab/Surebackups and found built-in check are pretty basic and pretty much only checking if VM is listening on particular port after restore. It definitely helps to make sure the serve is not corrupted and functional but not giving any validation against if it was hit by ransomeware or not. What does (from my point of view) is if where will be built-in checks if particular file (most commonlt encrypted by ransomeware, VEEAM probably knows better - but I’d do .doc, .pdf, .7z, etc ) can be successfully open. Any improvements in that area in upcoming 12.1?Or maybe I am wrong and someone can point me out to the fact it has been already done and I just don’t know how to do it?Cheers,Alex. 

Hello,Feature request for ‘Veeam Backup and Replication’ client. When viewing/selecting an active job provide the option to ‘Follow’ most recent activity. This is helpful if you have a job active with many objects in the job from a visibility perspective.Currently, if you have a job with 20 objects being backed up and you select an object in progress, when the object completes the viewed object stays displayed instead of following to the subsequent active object being backed up.  Thanks 

I have disabled Template jobs and would like to exclude from disabled jobs alarm.

Has anyone found a better way or backing up a Raspberry PI to a veeam repository other than using a script to dd the entire SDCard to a SMB/CIFS share and then backing that up?

Hello veeam community! As we know, the VMCE v12 is comming soom and with that a new exam with new topics including building backup capabilities, restoring from backup and advanced repository functionalities, etc are coming too. But at this moment my questions is about VMCE 2021.Do you know how long we can still book the exam VMCE 2021?Do you think it's still worth trying to pass VMCE 2021 or its better wait for v12 exam? 

We are trying to restore a huge DB which is part of a Always On Availability group to a test server. So the test server is up with the DB. However, the DB shows as Restoring after the restore. What is the work around to make the DB Ready? From what I’ve read, we need to drop the DB on this test server from the Availability Group. How can this be done without affecting the production DB.  Our DBA is unable to drop the DB so reaching out to the community for alternative solutions.   

working in a client env with veeam v11 and 12….just upgraded to v12.we have issues with replication not working (started all of a sudden 3 weeks ago). Support said that it was a known issue in v11 and we needed to upgrade. Tbh I wasn’t convinced as its been working fine for some time.Anyway we upgraded to v12 but replication is still not working.You can see that the copy is seen as in-progress so Veeam is just trying to send data. You can also see on the storeonce side that Veeam files have landed/created with ZERO bytes. It just sits there for hours and you dont see any data being transmitted for some reason…..We do have a call with support but just wondered if you guys had any ideas. We’ve involved HPE and run scripts on the storeonce appliances which are able to send files between the devices (1G files, 10G files etc).

Hello everyone,I didn’t find configuration backup and restore in VBM like VBR, what is the best approach to do it? both backup and restore the entire server, and install it from scratch?

Hey Guys,I had a backup fail last night due to a datastore no longer having enough space to process  Is this a threshold that can be configured somewhere?How much space is actually needed to process a backupI am trying to find some more info in the logs but havent seen anything yet  Thanks,

Just a quick question...I was tasked with restoring OneDrive data from an account for a client that apparently left and the user was deleted, but someone else was accessing the OneDrive data while the user account was still in the Deleted Users status/folder, but once the 30 days elapsed, that data was purged.  This client is currently being backed up by Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud backup (until I get those folks moved over to Veeam) but I noticed that the last backup of the data was before the user account was deleted.  Makes sense, but I hadn’t considered that their OneDrive would even be accessible by the other users during that time period if the user/mailbox had been marked as deleted.So my question is, if a user account is marked deleted, does VB365 still backup the deleted mailbox/OneDrive (or can it even do so - assuming that you had that user explicitly specified or had the job set to backup the entire organization, etc) until Microsoft purges that data?  I imagine I can test thi

Hi,I have installed Veeam agent on my windows 11 VM. I have a external hard drive connected to the physical host and shared the drive.I have it mapped on my VM.I cannot see it in my options for destinations.Is there any thing I can do to get this working? Thank you in advance.Colin 

I’m in the market for new storage at 2 sites. I’m hoping to get some input from the community here if any of you have a lot of data, or fast storage. Requirements - You need to be able to hit a minimum of 2GB/s on your Veeam jobs to post your solution. I want you to detail your proxy, repo, and storage setup as well. (This is not a competition though) Currently I have 2 V7000’s. I can hit about 2.2GB/s sending data to 6 LTO8 drives. I am hitting about 6k IOPS but the latency starts to increase at this point.  I’ve been happy with this storage, (7200RPM disks) but it’s time to upgrade, and I am looking at a few options. Option 1) Exagrid at 2 sites. 10+ EX84 per site    - Does anyone here own Exagrid storage? What is your performance like, how about long term restores? The price is decent, I just have concerns about a large scale instant restore, synthetic operations, merges etc.  (Those are my current pain points with my current v7000s It’s fast untill I run too many at once) Option 2)

Hi, our client just had a ransomware attack and unfortunately veeam server and backup files were affected. Client had to rebuild their servers and We had to reinstall Veeam and recreate backup from start again.We are looking into introducing tape as “offline” backup so we can restore backup files from it in worst case scenarios. My question is, if we reinstall Veeam B&R is it easy to re-introduced the Tape Library and is it easy to scan for it and retrieve/recover the Backup Files from it to Veeam Disk Repository?

Hello, I just recently installed Nutanix AVH for a client; they were previously on VMware (and backing up with Veeam). I setup two backup jobs that use the Nutanix AVH plugin/appliance, but to be honest, I am not “happy” with it, and am wondering if it might be better to use the Windows/Linux agent to backup, but not sure what pros and cons are. What I am not overly-happy with with the Nutanix AVH plugin are:   * Even though VMs are in the same job, backups get split per-VM, which I don’t think get any benefit from deduplication (though I think they benefit from compression still).  The agent-based backups seem to behave more like the VMware-based backups in  that the VMs in the same job get backed up to one file (named for the job), and benefit from deduplication (as well as compression)  * The “session report” is very light on details.  I had come to like the details provided by the “normal” session report I could see previously (and which I can get with the agent-based backups) What

We have contracted with a cloud backup service for Veeam Backup with bucket. We have been experiencing problems for a few days with the following errors.1- Error when trying to connect to the cloud repository to perform a Veeam backup.We have a backup job in Veeam Backup that sends 7 VMs to the cloud repository, however, on several days the error below occurs when trying to send this backup:2- This problem is generally occurring whenever the first problem occurs and it would be some type of error related to the tasks that Veeam Backup performs.The errors that occur are the following:  

hi, i would like to know, could i use my socket base license with VBR V12, and can i get all of features on VBR V12 with my socket base license ? such as Immutable with HLR, MFA, File Share Backup and so on  Thank You

hi, I would like to know that, could we build VBR server on AWS and backup our VM and physical on prem and store our backup file on S3 Bucket by using direct to object storage Thank You

Hello everyone, We have an HPE MSL3040 tape library and we have two F.C drives on it. The drives are detected on the Veeam server but one of them shows a red sign (screenshot attached). On device manager both drives are properly working. we are unable to use the parallel processing feature because the second drive seems to be non functional. Any ideas as to why this could be happening? Thanks in advance for your support.
