Solved

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?

Where can I download the latest community edition Windows agent? I have an older version “5.0.0.4301”.

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

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

Hi,I’ve been playing around with Kubernetes and have built a small cluster. Installed Kasten K10 and it is backing up/snap-shotting, but that will be to storage within the pod it’s installed in.I have created an NFS share on my NAS, as well as creating a PV and PVC for the share:nano nfs-share-pv.yamlapiVersion: v1kind: PersistentVolumemetadata:   name: nas01-kasten-backups   namespace: kasten-iospec:   capacity:      storage: 500Gi   volumeMode: Filesystem   accessModes:      - ReadWriteMany   persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain   storageClassName: nfs   mountOptions:      - hard      - nfsvers=4.1   nfs:      path: /volume2/kasten-backups      server: nas01.my-domain.comkubectl create -f nfs-share-pv.yamlnano nfs-share-pvc.yamlapiVersion: v1kind: PersistentVolumeClaimmetadata:   name: nas01-kasten-backups-pvc   namespace: kasten-iospec:   storageClassName: nfs   accessModes:      - ReadWriteMany   resources:      requests:         storage: 500Gikubectl create -f nfs-share-pvc.yaml 

I’m sure I’m overlooking something obvious -- Veeam is running on a Windows 2022 server on the domain.When adding my non-domain Hyper-V host (Windows 2022) to the Veeam managed servers, the only credentials that work are hostname\administrator. Any other account on the Hyper-V host with full administrative rights is failing with --“Failed to connect to host XX.XX.XX.XXAccess denied or timeout expired.Check if you you have local administrator privileges on computer ‘XX.XX.XX.XX’.Possible reasons.1. Invalid credentials.2. Specified host is not a Hyper-V server.” I’d prefer to disable the .\administrator account on the Hyper-V host, so I’d love to know what I need to do to get my non .\administrator accounts working with Veeam. Thanks, Chris 

After doing a cold boot of the host server, the Veeam backup service has failed to run or come back online. When trying to connect through the client we receive the error message of “No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:9392”After checking the logs, we’ve found an error stating that it failed to fetch logical page (1:21805) in database 5 failed. It belongs to allocation unit 72057594191544320 not to 72057594190823424 

Hello forum,When I try to create a new BR on the repository server, ‘theserver03’ is listed twice.For each server, if i click `Populate`, they show the exact same list of paths.Hyper-V standalone host Microsoft WindowsNot sure what is going on, and what I need to do?Thanks much, David    

Installed Debian Bookworm on BTRFS, backed up with Veeam agent for linux to network storage.Tried to restore from internal SATA to internal SATA, using full disk restore.Restore mentions a warning after completion, could not update UUID. Don't now the exact wording anymore.After booting the system boots to initramfs with the alert: UUID=xxxxxxx does not exist.It appears nothin that can't be fixed with a live CD but IMHO this should not be needed.Is this a bug, known issue or am I doing something wrong?
