I upgraded to Veeam 13 a few weeks ago. I finished adding my 2.5G network and VLANs on Thursday. My Ubuntu 24.04 servers are backing up fine. Veeam 13 in my workgroup wants certificates now. I had to spin up a Windows 2022 Standalone CA to create certificates for all Windows 10 and 11 workstations. I will be creating the workstation certs from it today and installing them. Any suggestions on getting Windows 11 to backup? I hope the cert does the trick.
2.5G network is much faster. I will post numbers tonight.
Question
Veeam 13 is not being nice.
+22
+21I am using Veeam 13 in my homelab with Agent backups and did not have to do a CA for certificates. Now I do have a CA, but that is for other things and never had to do anything with my systems to get backups to work properly. This is not a hard requirement that I am aware of.
I had to redo the Veeam certificate and fix the Win10x64i7/Admin$ link. Options - Security - Regenerate the Veeam Cert. I upgraded the NICs to 2.5G and everything changed.
Here are the numbers for the 2.5G upgrade. I run the VMs, FamilyPics, and Dropbox at the same time.
| 1 Gbps | 2.5G | |
| Windows 11 | 58 min | 37 min |
| Dropbox | 66MB/s | 162MB/s |
| FamilyPics | 109MB/s | 139MB/s |
| VMs | 219MB/s | 328MB/s |

Ah, ok, so more on the VBR side. Interesting changing a nic broke the Veeam Cert. 🤔
+21Those are some nice improvements for speed of backups. 😎

Oohh...thank you for sharing how your hardware modification impacted your environment. Good for the Community to know about. 👍🏻
The backup speeds on Dropbox by itself was over 450 MB/s. I changed my workgroup name to scsiraidguru. I did this to create the certificate authority on Windows 2022 Standard. You can’t change the server name once a CA is created. I had to change the Hyper-V server name in Veeam.
I enabled the Built-In Administrator to give it rights and privileges to Windows 11 Admin$.
The $170 2.5G investment was worth it. I will post more soon.
