Hi Guys, here is a good one.We have one job, protecting VMs in 2 different VMWare Virtual Centres. Each VC has its own proxies.VC1 is Netapp NFS datastores and we use Auto selection of transport mode (Direct Storage)VC2 is Dell HCI with iscsi datastores so we can only use Hot Add.The issue is that Veeam doesn’t appear intelligent enough to pick the right proxy for the VM. Its choosing an HCI proxy to protect a 3 tier VM and hence fails to NBD mode.How does the Veeam Proxy selection work ? Surely it can work out the basics and choose a Proxy in the same VC/host as the target VM, and on the same or similar network and not a completely different one.The issue is that if it can’t, we will need to split VMs into different jobs which is far from ideal.ThanksPhil

Hi AllI am having difficulty doing a full VM restore.  I get the below error.  I do have a veeam ticket open but no results so far.  I think this is a connection issue.  The address of 192.168.12.211 is my vCentre server.Im using Veeam essentials 12 and vCentre 8.0I can restore individual files, but not the entire VM.Any ideas?  Im really stuck.Thanks28/08/2024 10:57:10 Error    Restore job failed Error: Cannot get service content.                             Soap fault.

una delle limitazioni che c’è per i Linux Hardened repository è quella per la quale l'hardened repo deve essere collegato a un solo server Veeam.Stamattina sotto la doccia ho pensato a un workaround per questo: la mia idea è:Utilizzare un hardware come ad esempio l'HPE Apollo Installare un hypervisor come ESXi (controllare le matrici di compatibilità!) Se desiderato, mettere un vCenter (io lo metterei) Creare N macchine virtuali, ciascuna con un'opportuna quota disco, che diventeranno dei Linux hardened repo, tante quante sono i server Veeam che dovranno usufruirne Come da best practices, le interfacce fisiche e i virtual switch etc etc saranno separate fra uplink delle VM e Management dell'ESXi/vCenter Le interfacce fisiche di Management e quella della ILO o iDRAC saranno connesse a piccolo switch dedicato e isolato dal resto della rete Per la gestione si potrà collegare un NUC/miniPC completamente dedicato, isolato dalla rete e connesso solo al piccolo switch (in alternativa ci si po

One of my VM is showing  FIB summary.txt issue in backup copy job. I would like to run Active full backup on only this problem VM . But this backup copy job has 20 VMs which i don’t want to run full backup as it will cause issue in wasabi bucket. Copy job goes to wasabi bucket. I know individual full backup can initiated in Backup job, but it is not showing BCJ . Please advise.Ver 12.1.2

Upgraded K10 to 7.0.7.The catalog service fails with the following error:“Back-off restarting failed container schema-upgrade-check in pod catalog-svc-75ff7bb8cf-zpnhd_kasten-io(e1cd5a5c-32e1-4549-b4be-c0fd8ba68874)”Any ideas on what could cause this?Many thanks, -Mark

How large may a partition be on an iSCSI-connected Alletra4000 storage that is to be backed up using Veeam Storage integration?

I have a strange issue and have been trying to solve it for a few days now.  Fresh install of Veeam Backup 12 for the purpose of migrating a few dev/test VMs from one ESXi server to another.  The install went proper, I created a Ubuntu 24 server on each ESXi server and installed the backup proxy components via the GUI in VBR which registered them there.  Since this is more of a migration project, there isn’t a need for a separate backup repository.  When creating a quick migration job, everything goes well until the backup proxy selection.  The only Backup Proxy that is available is the VBR server and not the actual proxy servers themselves.  Since the migration job is having to use the VBR server as the proxy, the performance is horrid.  I have performed:-repair on VBR 12-reconfigured the proxy servers from VBR GUI (no errors)-proxy servers are on same VLAN as VBR server so no firewall challenges Any thoughts on what I have missed?  Thank you all

 ANYONE, your assistance please ! "Failed to retrieve certificate" 1. Another offsite DB file backup to azure Blob storage A passed for another server(db server). 2. This same exchange server DB file successfully backups to an azure blob storage B from BUEXEC. Why not for veeam 12.1?

Hi I little confused about were should I should find workers Onenotes files from Veeam O365 backup ????Newer looked are OneNotes files included O365 backup procedure.O365 business used and  document folders sync to personal OneDrive\documents\OneNote Notebooks\ -> there are only hypertext links to O365 website OneNote App.Workers always uses O365 local OneNote appThese links shown also in Veeam O365 backups but not the *.one files at all ☹Workers all data (Mail, Archive, OneDrive, Site) included and nothing excluded .In Veeam manual:https://www.veeam.com/blog/restore-ms-teams-onenote-items.htmlMicrosoft OneNoteVeeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 can back up two types of NotesPersonal NotesSuch notes can be saved either on a local disk or to OneDrive for Business. In case of the latter, such files would be backed up as a part of OneDrive for Business user account and can be restored both to original and new locations. During restore process, OneNote would detect that you’ve created

Hello, well, the fun never ends.I moved a VM named ‘user01-Virtual-Machine agent_vserver03’ from one folder to another folder on the same drive letter V:The vm itself runs fine, no issues.Now, the backup fails.I tried to search about the error and for 'HvGetVolumesByPaths', but foud nothing at all.Error: Failed to call RPC function 'HvGetVolumesByPaths': The file or directory is not a reparse point. Failed to retrieve reparse point data. I re-scaned the hyper-v server, ‘VSERVER03’ but nothing changed.Note: this is a homelab, i am willing to delete and re-do whatever.But, no idea what to try next. Maybe I should the following, but hoping there is a less drastic solution?export vm delete vm import vm in VBR, re-scan the standalone hyperv server re-create a backup job and backup copy job  

There are many Nutanix VMs in a backup job that are successful but any VM isn't.Please help to advise me. Thanks

Hello,A while ago I set up a immutable repository on a Ubuntu host 24.04. For that I created a separate partition with separate user login for client A.All worked fine over months. Yesterday on the same server I created a new partition with a new user login for client B. I could add the repository to VBR 12.0 on the client side. Today I see that for client B VBR cannot find the repository. Host discovery fails. “an unknown error occured while processing the certificate” I’m not sure what happened, but it has certainly something to do with adding a new repository for client B. First, is it generally possible to have several clients on the same Ubuntu server with separate partition and user logins? How can I fix it for client A without breaking for Client B? Thanks,Edy  

Anyone had experience of using Veritas 5250/5x50 appliances with Veeam? I believe the appliances can support SMB/NFS so as long as that is available then yes….if anyone has any thoughts or experiences please let me know.

I haven’t found an answer to this, so asking here.I was asked if we can change the retention on an existing backup to keep it longer than the original retention time.For example, we are running forward incrementals daily with a synthetic full every Saturday. The retention is set to 30 days. We are using Veeam 12.1 with immutable Linux repository.If someone comes to me and asks for us to keep last Wednesday’s backup for 90 days due to an ongoing project they have, can I retroactively change the retention on that backup to 90 days? (I understand that the prior Saturday-Wednesday files would/should also be retained to keep the chain intact).Thanks.

Hi guys,First, I’m not sure if I should be posting here or forums.veeam.com?  Either way, here’s my setup: Hyper-V host domain-joined to customer infrastructure, running Windows Server 2022, patched with July 2024 cumulative patches.  Security software includes S1, Threatlocker, and Huntress.  Threatlocker is in “learning” mode and is not blocking anything. Backup server is also running Windows Server 2022 patched with the latest July 2024 cumulative update.  Security software includes SentinelOne and Duo authentication to enable MFA for local user logins. Backup box is *not* domain joined at all.I’ve been told this is a UAC issue, but using a domain user bypasses this problem. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. No matter what I do, I can’t get the backup server to authenticate with the Hyper-V host using a domain account.  I can get it to authenticate, browse \\hypervip\ADMIN$ share, and connect with Veeam with the built-in, named Administrator account and I can get it to authenticat

Hallo zusammen,ganz kurze und einfache Frage. Ist die Replication eines Domain Controllers über Veeam B&R supportet?Hat hier jemand Erfahrungswerte auch bzgl. der Anzahl an Restore Points die man hier setzt? MfG

We have had an error message when backing up Office365 for 2 days  JetError -528, JET_errMissingLogFile, Current log file missingWe backup to a NASThe backup repository has the same error message, but the NAS is fully accessible and our normal Veeam Backup & Repository continues to back up to the same NASDoes anyone have an idea?

Veeam to backup Openmediavault hostI try to backup with veeam my openmediavault host. It's installed barmetal.Downloaded and installed it with apt-get install veeam-nosnap. But if I try to backup my volume lvl, i get this error: Item nvme0n1 cannot be backed up without veeam snapshot kernel modul.Hiw I can get the modul?

So I am on Veeam community edition 11.01.1261 and decided to look into immutable backups. I created a Ubtunu 22.04.2 VM and followed the guide. I added the repo to Veeam. When I do a backup and check on the Linux system I am not seeing the immutable tag set, what am I missing? I’m looking in the data directory of the backupset. The backup is there, looks fine, it is not immutable.  lsattr---------------------- ./0000.vblob The Linux FS is XFS, and I set the checkbox to say it should be immutable for 7 days. 

Host backup is a day backup, which runs a tape backup after the backup is completed; But today I found out that all the backup days of the tape were for the backup data on July 31st, but it prompted that the backup data did not exist. I don't know why the data on July 31st was backed up. I saw that the backup tape number on July 31st in the tape backup record is empty

Hello, How can I force VBAR to send email after the completion of a backup.As it is now, seems can only get a daily email?I have not yet tested, but not sure what VBAR does if a backup job fails?I checked the forum, veeam docs andhttps://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/powershell/email_notification_settings.html?ver=120

Hello, I’m new here, so forgive me if I’m doing this wrong.I’m having trouble configuring a SOBR to a client. The client wants to send an Agent File level backup job directly to S3 Standard on AWS and keep only the recent 7 days worth of data and then proceed to archive a weekly full backup. How would I go about and do this? There is no capacity tier as it would make no sense…    

Hi, we have TBs of data in our on-prem Veeam repositories that we would like to move to Azure (archive tier). We added object storage repo and choose Archive Tier but when we try to use copy /move data option to migrate off this data from our on-prem repos to this archive repo, this doesn't show up in the available target locations. We would like to get some advice on some of the available options that we can use to move our data to azure. We will hardly need this data to restore from but as a business requirement, we need to keep this for a few years. Thanks
