Unable to see DB backups from Enterprise Manager or VBR when using Veeam's SQL plugin for SSMS.Not sure if this is by design to allow DBA full control of their backup and restore processes or I’m just missing something here. Thanks again for all your inputs.

Hello,Every metadata export is failing with this reason, and it seems like my local snapshots are not delete as they should be (I have a zero local snap retention policy). Nothing changed configuration wise beside upgrading K10 to it’s latest version with helm. kind: ExportActionapiVersion: actions.kio.kasten.io/v1alpha1metadata: name: policy-run-xsnzcbw8kt namespace: kasten-io uid: d72b5bba-a5ac-11ef-94a5-f658bf251e62 resourceVersion: "672310" creationTimestamp: 2024-11-18T12:58:43Z labels: k10.kasten.io/isMetadataExport: "true" k10.kasten.io/isRunNow: "true" k10.kasten.io/policyName: nxt k10.kasten.io/policyNamespace: kasten-io k10.kasten.io/runActionName: policy-run-xsnzc k10.kasten.io/runActionNamespace: kasten-iostatus: state: Failed startTime: 2024-11-18T12:58:43Z endTime: 2024-11-18T13:04:33Z restorePoint: name: "" result: name: "" error: cause: '{"cause":{"fields":[{"name":"freq","value":"@daily"},{"name":"retention","value":{}}],"file":"k

Buonasera,devo configurare un backup con Veeam Cloud Connect ed avrei un paio di dubbi…La dimensione totale delle macchine virtuali di cui fare il backup è di circa 7TB, considerata la velocità massima in upload della connessione internet del cliente (100Mbps) il backup completo iniziale dovrebbe durare circa una settimana. Volevo sapere se è possibile limitare la banda di trasmissione di veeam in orari di ufficio (in modo da non influire sul lavoro dell’azienda) e lasciarla illimitata la notte.Inoltre volevo sapere se veeam salta in automatico i backup successivi fino a che non sarà stato completato il primo backup completo.Grazie

Hello, I’m testing Veeam Kasten for the first time, but unfortunately it won't work as expected. I’ve created a backup policy with a snapshot and an export to a s3 rados-gw (ceph) endpoint.I’ve got the following error message while exporting the snapshot:- cause: cause: cause: cause: cause: cause: cause: cause: cause: cause: cause: message: "client rate limiter Wait returned an error: context deadline exceeded" file: github.com/kanisterio/kanister@v0.0.0-20240812194716-8812756d1751/pkg/kube/pod.go function: github.com/kanisterio/kanister/pkg/kube.WaitForPodReady linenumber: 384 message: Pod did not transition into running state.

Hi all,  I am trying to get support with Veeam but they are giving me the run around (we have a valid license but apparently its not assigned correctly and our account manager is away until the 18th) so I thought id ask here. But I am a bit disappointed Veeam has always been great with support and regardless always tried to help :( Veeam ticket is Case # 07501120  I am getting the following error Error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond This Repo has been working for over a month, no blip or issues. However, just today it started having an issue. The only thing that has changed is I am using a proxy now rather than the backup server direct. I rebooted the immutable repo and Veeam was happy again. However, logged on this afternoon and it says disconnected again. Now I have reinstalled the components onto it again, hopefully it stays - has a

Good morning,I am using Veeam B&R CE, and use to backup my Proxmox VMs.My Homeassistant VM after a restore is able to start, but it goes directly in restore mode so it in unaccessible.Someone else experience the problem?Thanks a lot,A.

Dear All,Have a nice day.  I found a different on veeam backup version on my test environment 11 vs 12.2 on file save name. In the early version it’s saved as a job name single file but now it’s saved as multiple .vm name file, no jobs name. One job is created and this job has 10 VM, there will be 10 backup files showing.  It's looking odds lot of files.I want to show it as the previous one in a single file. Is it possible? pls check the image. Thanks,Biplob

The malware detection consistently flags the same files with known malware extensions as suspicious. Despite marking the servers clean multiple times, the detections persist. Is this behavior intended or possibly a bug?

Hello -To start with a short breakdown of our environment:We have three separate Veeam “instances” across our org. It works like this: Branch AVMWare instance with 8-10 servers both Windows and LinuxWindows server running Veeam B&RWindows server serving as proxyWindows server serving as repositoryRepo contains backups of the machines here  Branch BVMWare instance with 15-20 servers both Windows and LinuxWindows server running Veeam B&R(3) Linux server serving as proxy(1) Linux server serving as repositoryRepo contains backups of the machines here Branch CVMWare instance with 4-6 servers both Windows and LinuxWindows server running Veeam B&RWindows server serving as proxy for Branch ALinux server serving as proxy for Branch BWindows server serving as repositoryRepo contains backup copies and replicas of VMs from Branch A and B  On to the problem. Our third-party vulnerability scan started to flag all our proxies and repositories and Branch A and B as needing Linux OS updates

​Hi all,I’m looking at the following guide I was recommended on one of my previous posts (great guide btw).Does anyone know the logic behind the assignment of the masquerade IP? I can’t seem to understand where Veeam pulls this from nor find any explanation as to the logic behind it.Many thanks in advance.​

I'm trying to set up backup job retries in Veeam Backup & Replication to automatically retry failed jobs a specific number of times. Could anyone guide me on how to configure this and suggest best practices for retry intervals?

Hi Community, VBR server should not be part of the production domain—Unable to detect whether it should be considered important or not. How can we fix this? Is my VBR already in the production domain, or should I put it back on the workgroup?   

Hi all,A customer’s device is complete gone, but has daily full backups stored via CloudConnect in Wasabi. When we try to import the backups, it gives the message ‘No backups found’. Altough, the Cloud Connect server gives usage of the bucket and de job just ran fine. Any ideas how to import the backup in the Cloud Connect server to start the recovery ?  The import of the backup doesn’t seem to find the backup chain….

Hi, I have a question. I recently added an object storage repository (Cloudian) with an immutable retention period of 7 days. Then, I created a new backup job and pointed it to that repository, and I ran the backup. After the backup job completed, I checked the object files in Cloudian and looked at their retention period, and the result shows more than 7 days. Shouldn't it be exactly 7 days, not longer?Attached is the screenshot:Repository config for immutable days The date when the first backup started The object retention displayed in Cloudian Management The 'retain until' date should be 2024-11-14 if the retention is set to 7 days, but this is not what is happeningCan anyone explain how Veeam sets the immutable days for objects in object storage? Thanks for your answer and attention😊

When can we export the 1.1.1 release to Excel? It is helpful when we are calculating many repos at the same time

How VRO works on GCP as supposed entire environment hosted on GCP.

After taking the manual snapshot on GCP it is going to another zone this behavior of Veeam or GCP as per my understanding the manual snapshot will always save the snap in a multi region location closest to the VM.

Data drive of the backup server has two folder Backup Job 7 which has backup from Oct to Nov and XX-Backup job from Jan 24’ What would be the correct process to delete the backup jobs from CZ60-Backup job from Jan 24 

We need to install the Veeam agent on 2,000 devices within the organization, but centralized file restoration to multiple devices simultaneously is required. Currently, the Veeam Backup & Replication solution does not have this functionality, and it is needed to reduce restoration times for user operations to ensure business continuity in case of ransomware or disaster.

The company I work for is looking to improve its BCDR capabilities utilising Veeam and Azure.  Currently in a DC we have VBR (physical server with local storage repo) copying to Azure blob storage and Enterprise Manager on a vm.  We are aiming to change the Veeam license to include VRO with the idea of being able to stand up VMs in Azure in the event of the DC going down.  My questions are about the placement of the various components.  Do we need a second VBR server in Azure?  Should the Enterprise manager be shifted to Azure?  Would it be best to build the VRO server in Azure?  Also where does ONE fit into this?  We are talking to an MSP about getting this set up but wanted some advice from the expert community to put my mind at ease.  Thanks!

Hi everyone,This is my situation: i configured a backup job on Veeam 12 on rdx drives; i ve got 3 drives (4TB each) and the total size of vms backup is around 1,6 TB; drives are changed daily.My goal is to make an incremental backup, veeam perform each day a full backup tough. So the third day the drives is put in the rdx reader  veeam gives me error because the storage is full.In repository settings i marked the rotated drives options. If i set the retention policy to 2 days nothing changes (because veeam policy always keep at least 3 restore points i guess).I tried also reversed incremental with no result. Is there any chance to manage an incremental backup on rotated drives in my situation?The best option would be to have in each drives a full backup + x incremental file, at worst i may configure a pre-job script to manually prune one of the two full backup on the drive. David

Good day all,Hostnames and IPs are ficticious, just to protect my environmentCase:N.B. Primary veeam server was off during the config restoration. Both servers can resolve hostnames to IP, full communication between sites/on WAN, same domain as well.I used (Site1) primary veeam server “veeamserver1” backed up .bco file and restored it to (site 2) secondary veeam server. “veeamserver2” After restoration on veeamserver2, RED X came up on both hosts and repositories.On veeamserver 2, I did a rescan on on hosts and i got error(all hosts) for below:-Error - [Serverhost1] Disks and volumes discovery failed Error: Access is denied.  RPC function call failed. Function name: [GetSvcVersion]. Target machine: [192.168.40.30:6160].-Host discovery failed For the local repositories rescan i got error below: -Error    Processing backup repositories Error: Selected server Veeamserver2.JPOL.LOCAL is unavailable.-Warning    Failed to synchronize Site1Repo Details: Selected server Veeamserver2.JPOL.LOCAL

Hello,I am trying to do a bare metal recovery of a physical windows server 2019.First, I have created a recovery media from the agent backup, then mounted that .iso on the Dell Idrac9 and tried to boot form virtual CD/DVD/ISO, but it’s getting stuck at the windows logo screen.I have also tried to boot from the same iso on a VM just to test. This time, it worked, the veeam console came up and  I got all the options for restoration. But on the physical server, it’s not working.Please let me know where I am going wrong. I have attached the screenshot of the stuck screen. Thank you.
