I have a few questions concerning tape backups and marking an expired tape as free.  I have marked 2 months of tapes free, but the Postgres SQL database hasn’t reduced in size.  What other cleanup do I need to do on the Postgres side?VBR ver 12.2What happens when you mark a tape as free What happens in the postgres database Does Veeam remove all indexing data related to the backups when a tape is marked as free ? I have marked 2 months of tapes free, but the Postgres SQL database hasn’t reduced in size. 

Hi Guys,I’m rolling Veeam SQL plugin out across lots of different SQL servers in my org. Is there a protection group equivalent ? If not, how does Veeam help me to keep on top of where they are installed, and more importantly auto upgrade them when Veeam is upgraded ? On top of that how do the permissions work, in terms of local admin on all SQL servers to perform the Plugin install/upgrade ?ThanksPhil

Hello,I wanted to verify if the Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center v9.1.0.3107 is supported in System Center Operations Manager 2025.We have it running on our test environment and it seems to work but we want to validate before we upgrade our production SCOM environment.Kind Regards,JM

We have installed Veeam in a Standalone Hyper V host, and we can perform backups of all virtual machines in this Hyper V host. All the VMs are in drive D of the Hyper-V host.  Is there a way that I can do a backup of the C Drive of the Hyper V host so that we can restore the server and then restore the Virtual machines in case the Hyper-V Host fails? Do I need to install a Windows agent in the Hyper V host?  What is the best approach?  

Hi All,Does veeam also upgrades the database version  during the upgrade process? (ms sql or postgres)Because when upgrading from 12.1 to 12.3, Postgres version was still 15.8,how do I know if there will be an update? Will vulnerabilities be patched to address them?

When we backup our outlook using VDC, the processed object mean total of our users?In this pic can i say 829 is total user backup by VDC? 

Hi all,i have currently an environment with multiple jobs in VBO365 (latest version).All regular jobs are running fine.As a fallback, we have defined a catch-all job. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn’t be an object in it…And that’s our case - if the job has nothing to backup (as it’s processed in other jobs), the state will trigger a warning message → this will create an alert in the customers Monitoring Solution. Is there any option to disable it? Or do you have some suggestions for me?Thanks and best regards, Markus    

Dear Community, We have agent-based backup configured for database backups, but our DB team has raised concerns regarding I/O Frozen occurrences while the jobs are running. Additionally, the logs are being truncated every 30 minutes. If anyone has insights or best practices to address this issue, please share your recommendations if anyone has insights or best practices to address these issue recommendations. Your guidance would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

I create a file level job backup and only need to backup .xls files like below picture But when the job is running, why my backup consume more than 300GB? Actually when i filter in the machine, all xls files under E:\ is not more than 50 GB.Capacity of my E drive is 7.4TB and now the job say is 5% progress which mean the VBR like backup all entire disk without any file filtering.Anyone know why? 

What happen if we use file level backup then we have connectivity issue and the job is failed, will in next retry the VBR continue the backup or will start from beginning?

 Hello All, Cross posting here if anyone come across similar issue or any recommendation on this We encountered an issue with the restore portal being unavailable after upgrading the VSPC console from version 8.0.0.19236 to 8.0.0.19552. We have the Web UI and Console Server roles deployed in a distributed architecture.Initially, when clicking on the File Level Restore portal, it would redirect to URL "/Connectors/VeeamAgentsSelfServicePortal" and then return to the VSPC main portal. What I found initially was that the VeeamAgentsSelfServicePortal Application Pool was missing from IIS sites, and I had to recreate the pool to resolve the page loading error. After that, I encountered an issue where the Restore portal was responding with a "Service unavailable" error.We have already tried the following:Uninstalling outdated .NET packages from the servers.Reinstalling only the latest redistributable packages from the VSPC ISO.Changing the services to run under the System account instead of

Hello Community,I am facing the following problem.We are using an archiving (HSM) solution where the archiving application uses the NetApp Fpolicy Engine for mirgation. After migrating files off a NetApp smb share to s3 storage, the NetApp fpolicy engine leaves a stub at the original location. This "stub" is used to recall the file back to the original location when it is accessed. These stubs cause problems when backing up through veeam. During Nas backup (Share and using the NetApp storage integration) the stubs are not backed up, it causes a recall from the archive. (This is not what you want). On a Windows Fileserver veeam handles these stubs well. These stubs are called NTFS Reparse points. The stub file has the L (Reparse) and O (Offline) attribute set. When doing a Windows Fileserver backup these reparse points are, by default, skipped. No setting needed. This is the correct way to handle stubs. I assume this is because of the "L" attribute of the reparse point. The NetApp Fpoli

Hello, we added file-indexing on our ubuntu 24.04 lts-servers today and started the backup of each workload.Veeam detects all files with extension .sophos and .lynx as malware.The files with extensions .sophos are 100% clean, these is our sophos endpoint detection for linux.The lynx-files looks also normal and not like malware. Can we exclude thee files for each workload? I only see the option to exclude a complete workload. Detected files:/opt/sophos-spl/.sophos/usr/share/doc-base/lynx-common.lynx/usr/share/doc/w3m/keymap.lynx/usr/share/doc/w3m/ja/keymap.lynx/usr/share/doc/w3m/ja/examples/keymap.lynx/usr/share/doc/w3m/examples/keymap.lynx/usr/share/wazuh-dashboard/plugins/wazuh/node_modules/brfs/test/

Dear community, Does anyone have an idea if I can force a threat hunter signature update? I do have 2 different cases: Lab case (NFR license!)I do have a lab with a NFR license activated and my SureBackup fails on a regular base with the error message, that the Threat Hunter signature update is not possible.I already reviewed the firewall rules and updates a rule set for v12.3 so that every requirement should be done. Customer case (prod license)The SureBackup (antivirus) fails with the error message that there is no signature database available. wr already reviewed the FW rules and don’t see issues. Can I force the signature update manually somehow? If nobody has input on this I will of course open a support ticket! Thanks in advance!Lukas

Hi Community,Does anyone know if is possible to define an especifc name during the sureback job execution for vSphere?The surebackup job give a randon name to the VM that is being  tested adding a 32 hexa charecters as suffix  , like the screnshot below  

Hello,We have a Backup Copy on S3 containing multiple backup jobs, and we have noticed that VMs removed from the jobs are not being deleted from the S3 repository, even after exceeding the defined retention period. Full and incremental backup images are still being retained.I would like to understand how retention works in this scenario. Does the fact that the backup chain is incomplete prevent the deletion of old restore points?What are the best practices to ensure the automatic expiration of obsolete backups?Thank you in advance for your help.Best regards,

I saw that Veeam now offering VMCE v12 On-Demand course. is there any plan for Veeam VMCA On-Demand course? any body know about this ? Thank you.

Hi All, I have this weird error happening on my Veeam server.“Host is unreachable. Unable to install backup agent: cannot connect to 192.168.0.100 Error: The parameter is incorrect.”The weird thing is, I’ve checked through all nodes of my Veeam installation and can’t find anything erroring or relating to this error (see pic).In the ‘Name’ section below, those IP addresses do not relate to anything on the LAN, they aren’t even the same subnet. I have no idea where they are coming from.

Our Veeam Backup and Enterprise Manager were both hosted on the same server, but I've now relocated the Enterprise Manager to a different server. Should I keep the guest catalog folder (VBRCatalog) on the old server?I know VBRCatalog uses Backup server and it replicates to EM ( if it is, any additional steps required ). Please advise   

ciao a tutti, chiedevo se qualcuno che ha già avuto a che fare con VRO si è azzardato a “mescolare” server Veeam e EM con Postgres e un VRO su MsSQL.Purtroppo VRO include ONE che ancora va solo con MsSQL, quindi VRO funziona con MsSQL e come sappiamo non si può mettere una istanza Veeam sotto un Enterprise Manager se hanno i motori DB diversi.In altre situazioni in cui ho un server Veeam che gestiste la parte replica ed eventuali Failover entrambi sono sotto lo stesso EM che gestisce la questione licenze, e parlando con qualcuno di Veeam a Milano mi è stato confermato essere la cosa giusta da fare.Quindi penso che la cosa “canonica” sarebbe installare tutto sotto MsSQL se si prevede l’uso di VRO….

ciao, è capitato a un cliente che seguo di trovarsi il filesystem XFS corrotto. Si è aggiustato con un semplice comando di repair ma ci sono rimasti un po’ male, diciamo.Anche perché la macchina è un HPE Apollo, nuova, configurata ad hoc da specialisti del vendor quindi si possono escludere errori banali di configurazione, e l’hw è buono (certo anche nuovo può avere problemi però non è un accrocchio sottodimensionato)Qualcuno ha esperienze analoghe? Spero di no per voi 😉(per i veeamers all’ascolto: Case #07187346)

We have a VMware backup tag which contains 16 servers, is there a way to configure the order in which they are backed up?

I would like to verify the data in my backup copy job from my Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 however I cannot find a place where I can select restoring from the copy job instead of the backup job itself. Is it possible to select the data to be restore from the Backup Copy Job?
