Solved

Hello everyone,I need some help with an issue and hope I won’t have to contact support.  I’m seeing several failures on a file backup with the following error message:Failed to perform repair backup Error: Agent: Failed to process method {NasMaster.TransformMeta}: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.Error: Agent: Failed to process method {NasMaster.TransformMeta}: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.Processing finished with errors  I checked the logs, and the only thing that stands out are warnings like:Masks are not applicable for the server pathSo I understand that my exclusions cannot be taken into account. I can’t seem to find a solution; I ran a Backup health check which returned the error:Failed to perform repairing backup Error: Agent: Failed to process method {NasMaster.TransformMeta}: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. I don’t understand how to ide

Buonasera (o notte 😄) a tutti, vorrei avere consigli su che strategia adottare. Voglio backuppare tutto il mio sistema, circa 550GB, nel seguente modo: ogni mese avere un full backup, ed ogni tot fare un backup incrementale (max 3 per mese, lo faccio manualmente quando capita). Ogni fine mese sposterei il backup su un HDD esterno. Purtroppo non ho molto storage a disposizione, quindi i primi giorni del mese successivo, vorrei che il vecchio full + tutti gli incrementali, che ho già passato sul disco, vengano “cancellati” e venga creato un nuovo active con cui seguirò tutta la procedura. Qui sorge la prima domanda: nelle opzioni di Veeam vedo solo riferimenti al numero di giorni e non al numero di restore points. Posso inserire 4 come valore, per contenere il full backup + i tre incrementali oppure è sbagliato? E se per caso facessi 5 backup in tutto, la policy non rischierebbe di cancellare anche il full iniziale oppure essendo questo appunto un full non verrebbe intaccato?Come second

Hello!I look through logs, and see this texttransport mode: [hotadd], max sectors to read/write: [8192], async I/O: [unsupported]The backup operation ends successfully, but why could possibly async I/O be unsupported for hotadd? I've changed VBR VM (it's a Default Proxy) SCSI Controller type to VMware Paravirtual and it didn't help and sincerely I'm out of options to guess. Can you suggest me a direction to dig?

I am trying to add a Microsoft Azure Stack Hub account to Veeam Backup & Replication v13, but I do not see any option to add Azure Stack Hub under Cloud Infrastructure or Add Server.I also could not find any official Veeam v13 documentation related to Azure Stack Hub integration or support.Has anyone successfully configured Azure Stack Hub with Veeam v13?Is Azure Stack Hub still supported in version 13, or has the feature been removed/changed?Any guidance or documentation would be appreciated.

Hi, hoping someone can point me in the right direct with getting started with Kasten please, as this is almost surely a user error on my part, but I cant figure out whatLike the title says, I have deployed Kasten in a K8S cluster, currently not really doing much until Kasten is setup, however when generating the token to log in to the WebUI, the page just refreshes and I cant log inThis is running on a vSphere Kubernetes cluster, which isnt anything fancy, just K8S with PSA enabledThe K8S release is 1.33, and its a FIPS cluster, if that makes any difference, I would have gone with 1.35 non FIPS, however 1.33 was the latest the primer said 8.5.8 would install onFor the steps I have taken to deploy it, I ran the following once getting logged into my K8S clusterA default storage class needed setting, from some issues I had before, so the below was run on my preferred storage classkubectl patch storageclass vsan-esa-auto-raid-policy-latebinding \  -p '{"metadata": {"annotations": {"storage

What are the drawbacks or disadvantages of using Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows when performing backups to NAS storage? This includes considerations regarding storage, network speed, and reliability.

Hi everyone, has anyone tried using OMV 8 (Debian 13.4) as a Linux backup repository for Veeam VBR v13? I checked the official documentation for VBR v13 compatibility, but it currently only lists support from 11.0 up to 13.1. Would I be safe to proceed with the OMV 7 to 8 upgrade?

Hello all,Veeam Backup & Replication Community EditionVersion before Update: 13.0.1.1071After applying the patch for version 13.0.1.2067: When I launch the Veeam Backup & Replication Console on the backup server, I am unable to connect and the following error appears: "Failed to connect to the backup server localhost. Make sure it is online and version is v13 or later".I updated Veeam with the patch and when I launch the full ISO, only the “Modify” option appears, and I could install "Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager".Either the error message mentioned above appears or this one, when I launch the console:"Failed to connect to the backup server: Client update is required but it is linked to a local server installation version. Use a standalone console installation or update your local server first."The Full-ISO contains a Shell.x64.msi, when I run it as admin, I can repair it, but doesnt change anything.Does someone have an idea how to fix that?Thanks in advance!Kind regardsTim

Hi Veeam Community  I’m unable to run any backups on Veeam Agent for Windows (6.3.1.1074, free edition).

While installing Veeam Backup & Replication v13.0.0.4967 from the ISO (Rocky Linux–based appliance), the installer stops mid-way with an “An unknown error has occurred” message from Anaconda.The traceback points to dnf/base.py related to remote package selection or repository fetching.This occurred during the “Downloading packages” stage. Who else has run into this error? Another error, you could run into is this “Appliance Installation Stuck on "Configuring addons" and the following KB addresses what to do correctly.

root@charon:/home/amonra# apt-get install blksnap veeamReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree... DoneReading state information...

I am trying to update Veeam Community Edition to the current version as recommended by KB4743.  Unfortunately, each time I attempt to run the upgrade I get a "Modify" option instead of "Upgrade".   I have check the Veeam KBs as well as looked though the Veeam Community for an answer - any help on this would be appreciated.

Anyone can help me to understand about this picture?When the tape retention is over then backup day 1 will be removed and this mean 1st full backup wlll be removed. Then how we can restore the VM to the Monday? Isn’t restoring the incremental need the last full backup?

https://www.veeam.com/calculators/mapsVery neat feature, but a question comes up while testing a few scenarios: Why does remote console need connection to non-hardened repositories, but not the hardened one here? The ports tell about “file restore”, but I’m not sure on the source of this, as I don't see this in the ports list (Note: I’m aware this list is suspect, we’re working on it but point is more what is the source that we need Remote Console => repo connections for file restore?) If you're talking about mounting to console, I can understand but doesn’t hardened repository need this also?  

I am currently migrating my backup repository.Previously, I used a Linux Hardened Repository for primary backups, but I have now switched to an ExaGrid backup appliance. The primary backup to the new ExaGrid device has been successfully completed.Now, I want to reuse the backup data stored in the old Linux repository as a secondary target using the Backup CopyBefore: Primary (Linux Repository only)After: Primary (ExaGrid) --> Backup Copy --> Secondary (Linux Repository)However, when I try to select the existing Linux repository and use the "Map Backup" option in the Backup Copy job settings, it fails to recognize the existing backup data. I have already deleted the original backup job from the Linux repository, and the data is currently showing as Disk (Orphaned)The Veeam version is 12.3.2, and the backup source is a vSphere VM. My questions are:Is it impossible to reuse backup data created by a regular "Backup Job" for a "Backup Copy Job" via the Map Backup feature? Is there an
