Hello,I have a question about backuping VMs on LHR.Is it ok to backup VMs with snapshots on LHR (retention is set 20day)?? I'm asking because i heard that it is danger - but no details why…. Thanks,   

I’m testing the Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition on 2 Windows 10 Pro PCs, connected with Gigabit Ethernet.  Everything’s functional.  With no throttling, backup read speed fluctuates between around 60Mb/s and 140Mb/s (note - when the read speed was around 77Mb/s, network usage shown in Task Manager on the server computer for Veeam Agent was around 940Mb/s).  But browsers and email applications on the client computer become unresponsive at times.  Setting throttling (via a Network Traffic Rule on the server) to 50Mb/s fixed the unresponsiveness problem.  But with the throttling, backup read speed dropped drastically, hovering between 1Mb/s and 5Mb/s.  I got the same result after disabling firewall and antiVirus on both computers. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to track down the cause of this problem?  

Can my physical VBR server also be a source WAN accelerator ? Can my target repository server also be the target accelerator? 

I’m running Veeam v12 and performing some restore tests via AD explorer.When I try and restore object to the domain (this is another domain we are backing up, not the domain the Veeam server is connected to), the credential window appears. Enter that but always get error box “The supplied credential is invalid”here is the extract from the veeam log file:Connecting to domain controller rd.domain.org (port: 389, user: RD\serviceusername)…Error: The supplied credential is invalidAny help would be welcome, thanks.

When I using Veeam explorer to restore mailbox items with attachments to a user’s mailbox on On- premise Exchange Server the restore job fail with the below error:"Failed to create items. The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. Unable to write data to the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."Any ideas? 

Hi,Is anyone attending the Hands-On Lab event on the 22nd in Manchester?I’ll be winging my way over for the day.CheersMark

Hi Everyone, I just created an immutable repository using Azure Blob storage and connected to it using a Veeam 12 B&R client on Windows.I was hoping to create a File Share job to send a small set of data to the immutable repository but this doesn’t seem to be an option as when I do a new file share job the immutable repository is not available to select.Have I maybe missed something when configuring my Blob or Repo or is this just not possible? Thanks. 

Hey guys, I have a question.In a windows system with MySQL database, if I install veeam agent for windows, will I able to backup MySql database?

Hi team:I have a problem with 2 hyper-v hosts that I added to the veeam backup.In 1 the host IP had been changed. The josbs were removed and created from scratch. Now, when executing the job, the message "Unable to allocate processing resources. Error: On-host proxy [<Hiper-V name>] requires upgrade before it can be used." appears. I have a rscan over then host and its finished with warnings.In the second hypervisor, this was added directly with the name, but when executing the job, the message "Failed to connect to endpoint <vbr-server>:2500" appears. An error occurred during the connection attempt as the connected party did not respond properly after a period of time".How can i solve this?It should be said that I do not have a defined proxy and it is automatic.Greetings,

Hola  a todos: Tengo un problema con 2 hosts hiper-V en Veeam 12.1:En uno de ellos se lo agregó por IP al inicio y funcionaba bien, luego se le cambió la IP y dejo de respaldar. Los jobs se habian eliminado y vuelto a crear y presenta ahora este error:ya se hizo un rescan del host y no presenta errores. Actualmente sale que esta en estado unavailable.en el segundo host, ese se agregó por nombre, sin embargo al crear una tarea de backup sale esto: Cabe indicar que no tienen ni proxy y gateway server instalados. Como se puede resolver estos inconvenientes? Saludos,

Hi at all,We configured a backup for SQL AAG with Veeam plugin and all work fine, but now we need backup also the OLAP ( Online Analytical Processing ) component for our SQL AAG. Unfortunatly the OLAP is not discoverd by Veeam Plugin and thus I don’t know how setup It's backup with Veeam. Our goal would be configure an backup as did it for the others DB instances Any idea or experience to share ? CiaoLuca 

I did an instant recovery of 2 servers, these servers were from a different location and restored to a new location. Instant recovery went fine. When I migrate to production it creates a whole new server with the name -migrate. Never had this issue doin this to the same location.

I have a customer that would like to have a way to save decommissioned server backups for 7 years.  Their normal retention for backup jobs is 1 year.  They use Data Domain for archive storage.  When they decommission a server they would like to keep the backup for 7 years.  My thought was to create a second repository on the Data Domain, move the backups there and then remove the server from the backup job.  Would this effectively exclude those backups from retention policies?

I am using direct attached on premise storage for my backup repository.  That repository is getting close to being full, and I am having trouble understanding what next steps are.I have 30 day snapshot retention enabled.My concerns are around can I add a new repository that will continue to add new snapshots without having to start all over again and backup the entire 365 environment to that new repository?Ideally if I create a new repository, after 30 days the old (current) repository should be expired and can be removed. But I have a feeling it doesn’t work that way.

Source backup job that runs daily (1:00AM to 4:00AM (3hrs long)) is 1 TB in size on Mondays and then short 100GB increments (1:00AM to 1:30AM) each day for the rest of the week.My WAN link to the Offsite can copy 500GB per day.Copy backup will transfer about 500 GB on Monday but automatically stops after Source job runs again -“Failed to process NAS backup copy task Error: Stopped by job SourceX”After Source job finishes, the Copy job automatically starts again. It copies another 500 GB and gets interrupted when the Source job runs again. My question is the copy job restarting each time or resuming from where it got interrupted? Today is Saturday and it hasn’t finished copy the large Monday restore point..  

I had the Windows Stand Alone version installed on my Windows 10 PC. The external hard drive it was backing up to failed. I purchased a new external hard drive and had to reinstall the Veeam software. Now backups fail indicating an application error. There are no other details and no log files are being created. Any suggestions on getting backups up and running again would be appreciated. 

Hello forum,What are the “Best Practices” for configuring Sure Backup?On which configuration’s I should take care, how often do you recommend to do it etc.I have a dedicated physical server, a Tower server that will be in use for this purpose.12 Core Processor, 128 GB of RAM and around 10TB of free space. Our largest VM is more than 10TB but it will be okay if SureBackup can use instant restore etcPlease advise :)

I’m trying to add two Physical Computers (Linux 20.04) into inventory to backup.Both are in the same protection group.When adding the servers and clicking “Test Now” the test is successful.After applying the Protection Group changes, I briefly see both servers, then one always disappears.It seems random as to which server remains. I see different fingerprints for each server.I’ve tried using separate protection groups, but the issue is the same. I initially added the computers as part of a backup job creation, but when adding the second server and job, the job always failed. We have uninstalled the agent from both servers, and repeated the process, always with the same result.Veeam Enterprise Plus 11All the other backed up servers are VM’s.Any suggestions? 

I have a virtual Backup Server and the Repository is a SMB NAS repository and I keep the backup there for 30 days, does it make sense to activate Synthetic Full Backup in such an environment or is forever incremental better?

Onboarded server on VeeamOne appears greyed out and shows error "Uncaught exception thrown by method called Reflection""

We just moved a couple of servers to a new volume in NetApp using its new large file/volume feature. Nothing has changed on the backup job except the volume that it is backing up. The smaller server around 3TB was able to be backed up using SAN but the other server that is approximately 43 TB is being backed up using NBD. Prior to the move, both servers are doing SAN direct.  I would think that since these are both on the same volume is one has been successfully backed up using SAN the other should as well. Both servers are also in the same compute cluster and both are using the same proxies. What is causing this behavior?

Good morning guys,I recently noticed that some of our M365 backup jobs (various tenants and various backup VMs) always complete with warnings. We are having this problem for about a week or so. The messages always look like this:Failed to backup item: /personal/testuser_testdomain_com/Documents/Todo.one, Download request retry timeout exceeded. Has anybody of you noticed similar problems when trying to backup OneNote-Files? Thank you very much best regardsyanni4iwx

Hello guys, I wanted to create a topic on how migrate from MS SQL to PostgreSQL but I’m facing to an issue.I m following the procedure : https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/vbr_config_migrate_to_postgresql.html?ver=120At the “Target Database” step I choose “Database: PostgreSQL”Then I click to connect and I obtain the following message : For me I don’t have to create a database first, right? For me Veeam should proprose to create the database like this:Did someone else have try the migration process ?

Good dayHave anyone perhaps had this problem that I am experiencing now post upgrade to V12.1 and migrating DB to PostgreSQL 15.5-1.DB migration showed all tasks successful.When trying to open any job report it gives this error“invalid XML content” Thanks
