Hi Team, In version 1.3.15 (accessed via edge, Safari, or chrome) there is a bug with the compress setting. When set to 0% the repository size is 0.0TB. It works when left at 50% (I believe) but changing it down or up produces incorrect results. Example:123TB FET3% Change50% Compress by7 Day = 176.1TBHowever, using the same numbers and only changing compression to 30% (worse compression) the end product is 105.6TB. It should be more, not less. It feels to me like the logic is flipped. 99% compression is actually 1% compression. 1% compression is 99% compression. Any idea when this will be fixed? It was fine early last week.Thanks,

Hello All,I learned to install VBR on a physical standalone machine on premises without being a member of a domain which totally makes sense. However is it okay to install the VBR components of VBR on a VM in a Proxmox environment, but have the repository on a separate standalone computer. So the backup are not stored in the same environments as the production data. What are the Pros and Cons?Thanks!  

Hi(Veeam version 12.2.0.334)I want to move the PostGreSQL database from drive C to drive D.Following my steps, the PostgreSQL service starts correctly. However, the Veeam service doesn't start.I haven't found a clear procedure for this. Do you have any idea what's missing?Here are the steps I followed:I stopped all "Veeam" services and the "postgresql-x64-15" service.I performed a robocopy.From : C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\dataMove to : D:\PostgreSQL\15\dataMy script :for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=:" %%d in ("%time%") do set tmptime2=%%dh%%eset tmpTimeHeureMinute=%tmptime2: =0%for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do set tmpDate=%%d-%%e-%%frobocopy "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\data" "D:\PostgreSQL\15\data" /MIR /SEC /NP /ETA /LOG:C:\Robocopy\Log\MovePostGreSQL%tmpDate%-%tmpTimeHeureMinute%.log /R:1 /W:1No errors, all files have been copiedI renamed the directory C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\data to C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\data-001 I changed the Windows service wit

Hello,I understand that Veeam supports immutability on Dell Data Domain deduplication storage appliances.Here is my current setup:Backup job targeting a ReFS repositoryBackup copy job to a primary Data Domain with immutability enabledMTree replication to a secondary Data Domain not managed by VeeamMy question is: will the data replicated to the secondary Data Domain also be immutable?The Data Domain OS version is 8.3.Thank you in advance for your insights.

We have an existing Veeam environment as a service provider and using Cloud Connect.  With this we currently host cloud backups and replication for tenants, which works fine.  We also have VMware vCloud Director integrated. We are just now implementing CDP into this same environment.  When CDP is installed into the environment, Veeam creates a new storage policy in vSphere named “Veeam CDP Replication”.  This storage policy has a requirement defined to “enable host based rules”, and the single rule that is enabled is “Replication” and Provider veecdp, which is the I/O filter name. For reasons I cannot work out as of yet, this storage policy will only see one of our datastores as compatible, and this datastore happens to be the local direct attached storage of one of the ESXi hosts in the cluster, not storage on both hosts.  All other datastores show as incompatible.  Our other datastores that I would like to use are NFS volumes on Linux hosts.  I have set this up in a lab and demo envi

Hi all,I have a request to back up several Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines hosting SQL Server and Oracle databases using Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure (VBAz).I’m looking for a clear summary of what can and can’t be done when using VBAz for these workloads, ideally in a concise, bullet-point format.Specifically:Can application-aware processing fully protect SQL and Oracle databases?Is transaction log backup and point-in-time restore supported for SQL?Can individual databases be restored without restoring the entire VM?Are there scenarios where Veeam Agent for Windows or Linux is required instead?Any guidance, best practices, or references would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!

We have a cloud connect environment set up for the customer's and one of the customer is having the DR setup done in our environment, which is failing with below error while a failover is made,   "Processing client-side settings of partial failover failed: Error: Failed to connect to VPN server via cloud gateways: xxx-xxxx.com:6180" Analysis done so far - Initially We tried checking the connectivity of the gateway and NEA, and it looks like the telnet is working fine from the VBR and NEA IP,As well We narrowed down the issue to DNS resolution not working from the tenant side NEA,So we manually set DNS server entries in the DNS config file on the NEA, and tested resolution was working on nslookup and ping,However! When we ran a failover it still failed, and we noticed that the config file had been overwritten.We manually added the gateway address in the host file on the NEA, and tested the resolution,However! Once again the failover failed, and we noticed all the configuration we make t

Hi, I’d like to know if there is anything on Veeam’s roadmap regarding official support or a new plugin for direct integration with Huawei's hypervisor (FusionSphere) and storage solutions like OceanStor — especially considering the improvements in Veeam v12 and the use of the Universal Storage API?

Hello,since veeam 12.1 version there is a conflict to use VAL for backup OS of backup repository due certificate of transport service. You can use transport service for repository purpose or use it for backup of root disk.Do you use some solution related to Veeam how to backup OS of physical repositories?For example with an issue after patching how to recover it. I have use script to install redhat from scratch from cobbler, but if someone has better solution, i will be happy to share it 

Hello folks. As we’ve started getting a ‘maximum size’ warning from VEEAM B&R, we’re moving over to PostgreSQL. I’ve looked through some guides and it looks quite straightforward. One question - PostgreSQL 16 is now available. Is it okay to install that rather than the latest 15.X version? Thank you. David

I have a job that was canceled or stopped by VEEAM support 20+ hours ago and it is still running and I need it to be stopped as I am trying to do some other things  any thoughts on how to stop it forcefully?   This job is writing to Azure blob storage

Hi, We keep getting this error intermittently, approximately once a week, then 5 or 6 successful backups. Any suggestions? No finding much on the interwebs. Agent: Failed to process method {Transform.CompileFIB}: Retrieved less bytes from the storage [765952] than required [1052672]. There is not enough space on the disk. Asynchronous request operation has failed. [requestsize = 1048576] [offset = 1336410173440]

Hello friends,Currently running veeam agent v6.1.2.134 on a Win 11 machine.Have a full back up running every 3 months with incremental backups about every two days. Backups run to a network share hosted on a centos box.My issue: about every 5 days the back up fails and my computer freezes. It won’t kick the monitor, keyboard or mouse back on and I end up having to restart the computer by holding down the power button. I’m pretty sure it’s Veeam because it wasn’t happening before veeam and every time this happens veeam’s backup has failed. The backups will run fine the other times. There is no rhyme or day pattern I can tell of this happening since it’s every 5 days that it happens. So the last 3 failures occured on Fri 6/7; Wed 6/12; Mon 6/17. In between those I have successful backups and the 6/19 backup last night ran fine.Any thoughts? I’m a bit stumped. Happy to share the log file.

Team, Using VBR V12- I’m directly pushing the data to Azure Blob COLD TIER (min 90days retention) storage. In Veeam Backup Job settings-  defining 7 Days retention, weekly once Full, Monthly once Full.Will these retention impacts COLD TIER Cost? How it impacts? What type of impacts?Suggest the opinion based on above subject and below notes. Note: Maintaining the retention 7days so the backup chain will be forming and removing data from COLD TIER Azure Blob COLD TIER have 90days min retention and costs for earlier deletion@Rick Vanover @Kristen225 @Melissa @Veeam User @Veeam Administrator @VEEAM_Legend @VEEAM NOVICE @VeeamDream 

Dear Community, Anyone face this issue if yes kindly guide how to fix this. Failed to upgrade host components. Error: 'Exception of type 'Veeam.Backup.Common.CAppException' was thrown.'

Hi all,I have the above error and can’t seem to find a solution. With the research I’ve done so far, some suggested this is an account authentication issue. I’ve ensured that this is not the case. I’ve checked to see if the the port 11731 is being used by another process. It’s not. It’s free and listening. I tried recreating the job, no joy. I’ve rebooted the server to nil effect.Does anyone have any other suggestions?Thanks in advance.

Hi All,Last week on the VUG Belux event I brought up the Virtual lab supports maximum of 9 networks.For Surebackup. What is also described in this kbhttps://www.veeam.com/kb4353There they state there is no way to bypass this limit.On the location somebody told there is via Powershell.Do we have an example of this and is it then also shown in the GUI?Thanks,Benny

Hi all, I'm facing issues when trying to upgrade VBR from 12.3.1 to 12.3.2.EM went fine, but when I try to upgrade VBR, I get an error:"Failed to user specified user account. Error code: 0x00000057".I am running the setup as a domain admin. I also tried to run the setup logged in as the Veeam service account (which is also a domain admin), and as a local admin on the VBR server. All resulted in the same error.Anybody seen this before? I also created a case with Veeam support: 07736493 

Hi,Has anybody successfully integrated Trend Deep Security so that Veeam can scan backups?Veeam support had no answers, reach out to trend which weren't helpful.  If you have, could you please share the AntivirusInfo.xml settings you have setup? Thank YouChris 

Hi everyone, I'm trying to reinstall my Veeam BK server because we recently suffered a ransomware attack and had to remove it. Is it possible to recover the information I have stored in the data domain where the backups are hosted? Without having the configuration file? I only have the license.Thanks.

Hi everyone,I’m encountering an issue with an Off-Host backup job in Veeam. The job fails with the following error:"Selected server HV01 is unavailable."Here’s what makes this confusing: HV01 is the Veeam Backup Server itself I’m currently logged in to HV01, and it's definitely online The VM being backed up is up and running It’s just one VM in this Off-Host backup job I’ve already checked the Veeam services, DNS resolution, and proxy configuration – all seem fine Any idea why Veeam thinks the server is unavailable – even though it’s the Veeam server itself?Thanks in advance for any help or pointers!Cheers

Hi all,I took the VMCA 2024 exam this week and passed.My exam was NOT based on one central scenario but each question got a small introduction, setting the scene description of an environment, company,…And then based on this description you got your question.Other thoughts: Learn the details: some questions are really into details of functionality. Without studying, these questions are hard if you’re not confronted with them in your day to day interaction with Veeam prodcuts. The Rasmus’ videos are very helpfull. Altough they’re getting outdated (direct to object storage was not possible yet during these videos) Use ‘reverse logic’ and decimate the answers of the multiple choice that you think are totally wrong in this case. It makes it easier to make a selection of correct answers.

Anyone using VSPC to patch VBR servers - is there a way to have it patch VEM first and then VBR or is VEM a manual process then use VSPC to patch just VBR?We are moving towards automation and VSPC is a great way to patch/update servers which I am exploring due to the recent 12.3.2 patch that came out.Any insight is appreciated.

VBR and VEM using PostgreSQL, however VeeamONE still using MSSQL, I am looking forward to see VeeamONE using PostgreSQL, it will be great to unify the DBs for Veeam infrastructure.
