Actually, the IBM tape library is physically connected to Veeam backup server in our environment, but when i configure tape library through Veeam server console, what i enter the server details means IP or hostname.because Veeam backup server and tape library IP is different, so what should be enter for tape library configuration.i did the backup server IP then drive is not reflected in Veeam console, but i checked computer management the tape drive is available on device manager. what is the issue, please suggest.

buongiorno, con un cliente che ha un File Backup Job con un target secondariohttps://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/file_share_backup_job_secondary_target.html?ver=120quando lancia il job compare una domanda “vuoi lanciare anche i job concatenati?” Che si risponda sì o no, parte comunque nello stesso momento anche il job di copia, che si chiama “nomejob (copy)”.Questo job di copia fallisce dicendo che i file sono locked dal job principale.Come si può ovviare a questo? E’ normale? Sbagliamo qualcosa?

Hi All, I need a Veeam powershell command to fetch agent based backup. I am using below command to fetch last night backup status but it doesn’t include agent based backup. Get-VBRBackupSession | Where-Object {$_.JobType -eq "Backup" -and $_.EndTime -ge (Get-Date).addhours(-24)} Do you know single command to fetch all types of backup or different command for agent based backup? Thanks in advance

Actually, we logged the case to Veaam support team for some issue. they analyzed upgrade the Veaam server version from 12.1.1.56 to 12.1.2.172 and we are getting notification for upgrade the version on Veaam console. As per my understand, can we do through below steps ?first completed all jobs then disable all job take a configuration backup to another location. then start upgradation from Veaam console.is it right process or can we upgrade from new latest version install on same server ?Please suggest.

Hello,We are using self-service portal for our backups and we've discovered different size for each backup job. For example backup job on portal is showing 747,1GB of given backup but vbk file showing 855GB. what is the reason of this differences?thanks,Ladislav.

I have an Netapp A900. Volumes have a lot of shares in them. Adding shares individually would be tedious. So the question is, can I add the entire volume to a NAS job and then Veeam will protect all shares within the volume ?

I have a tape library with 4 drives. Veeam seems to be only using 2 of them. For example, right now I see all 4 drives - 1 is writing to 1 tape job, a 2nd is writing to another tape job, the other 2 drives are sitting, showing “idle”. Yet I have 5 more tape backup jobs sitting in queue, all showing status “0% completed”. Why isn’t Veeam writing some of those jobs to those 2 idle drives? I do have a setting on each tape job to limit it to no more than 2 drives, because I don’t want any 1 job to monopolize all tape drives. But Veeam seems to think that means to use only 2 drives *total*, not per-job. Have I missed some setting? Or set something wrong? I have a lot of data to write to tape every night, and more to come. In fact, I am waiting on 2 more tape drives, for a total of 6. But Veeam isn’t utilizing all the drives in the library. I did ask Tech Support, while I was troubleshooting another tape issue, but I never got a response to this question.Anyone? I feel it has to be something

Tape issues, Hey guys, I have been round and round with support and we are not getting far I have 28 tapes in my tape library and VEEAM sees them and reads them, but they are only showing 107gb free of 107gb total storage.  These are 30tb LTO8 drives and the systems UI itself shows the drives are 100% clear thoughts on what else I could try? I have done everything using the itdt.exe tool and still no luck    Thanks in advance

Can someone help me with info on how Veeam processes parallel VMDK’s? Does it uses VDDK Libraries or bypasses VDDK and uses its own libraries?  I have seen few backup solutions still struggling to achieve this parallel processing.  

a)I have a VBR 12 running on Postgre DBb)I am setting up another VBR and this time I dont want to use the default Postgre DB.Hence I an selecting Miceosoft SQL Server but its asking me to create the SQL Instance first. Am I supposed to install SQL Full Blown Instance or SQL Express Instance?  

Hello, Thanks, I cannot install latest VBRso this is what happened.For years, at VBR 11 installed and worked great. thanks veeam! Now, tried to update to latest 12.1. i downloaded .iso and checked md5 hash. That update failed, complained could not uninstall veeam for linux. I tried again to update and this time, instead of being asked to upgrade, i was only given option to Install. I tried to install, but VBR complains about seen belowSo I tried to manually remove VBR using:https://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/how-to-uninstall-v12-community-edition-completely-t89675.htmlhttps://forums.veeam.com/veeam-backup-replication-f2/how-to-uninstall-v12-community-edition-completely-t89675.html But, when i try to install, I still get that same error message, as shown above.here is the contents of VbrSuite_26_05_2024_10_32_34.log[26.05.2024 10:32:34][INFO] Configuration file: G:\Setup\VBRSettings.xml[26.05.2024 10:32:34][INFO] Engine is starting...[26.05.2024 10:32:34][INFO] Creatin

Hey all,I have installed veeam backup in GCP and in the policies I have created, both the snapshot and the backup are working (attached images).now i would like to clone this backup that veeam has generated, in a new instance of GCP, but i don't see how to do it.the idea is not to use the veeam windows backup (VBR) or another system, but to do it from GCP.take the structure that veeam has created when leaving the backup and restore or clone the machine in GCP.I don't see the option to do it. maybe it is not possible. someone help me to clarify this issue.I have consulted articles like the ones below, but they do not help me:If it is not possible to do it as I indicate, and I have to use VBR as a prerequisite, what is the point.I mean, is it essential to use it? is it mandatory to have VBR installed and there is no other way?Thanks in advance.   

Hi all… greetings…I am wondering if expiry date can be shown in the Veeam GUI under backup properties?With using Dell DataDomain immutable repo 

adding hyper-v host failed with "invalid credentials" noting that we don't have domain and the Veeam and Hyper-V are on the same subnet.

Hi Team,Actually, we restored one VM through instance recovery and it’s completed successfully, but one NFS datastore mounted on vCenter datastore. why? and one more thing if it is mount then after should be delete automatically? why it is deleted manually?is there any option available to avoid mounting or delete automatically.     

Hi Folks, What has your object storage journey with Veeam been like and at what stage are you at now?I started using S3 compatible the minute Veeam introduced it as capacity tier for Scaleout repos. I leveraged a 4 node Docker Swarm cluster with Minio. I chose Docker Swarm at the time as Minio advised to use containers for multitenancy and mentioned Kubernetes. I arrogantly thought I would read up over the weekend and on Monday get it going. That was not the case to say the least. Docker Swarm was much simpler and I eventually went with that. The solution worked well but my lack of deep understanding put some restraints on what I could do, not to mention that Docker Swarm, while being a solid solution did not have the incredible fine tuning capabilities that Kubernetes has.Since then it has been all Kubernetes and S3 never far behind. It got to the point where I simply had to defect to the S3 compatible side of the force completely 😁. So what was your journey, what are you using. What
