My Backup Server’s C: Drive is getting tight and I want to relocate Veeams’s MS SQL Database files from their default location on C:\Program Files\… to a larger Data drive. Now, whilst I can find articles about relocating the whole Veeam config to a different SQL Server, I can find nothing on moving the database mdf/ldf within the same Server.   Is it simply a case ofstopping the Veeam services, detaching the databases in SQL Server Management Studio,  moving or copying the files to the new location, attaching the database from their new location?Has anyone had any experience of this? How successful was it? Are there any pitfalls to avoid?

working in a client env with veeam v11 and 12….just upgraded to v12.we have issues with replication not working (started all of a sudden 3 weeks ago). Support said that it was a known issue in v11 and we needed to upgrade. Tbh I wasn’t convinced as its been working fine for some time.Anyway we upgraded to v12 but replication is still not working.You can see that the copy is seen as in-progress so Veeam is just trying to send data. You can also see on the storeonce side that Veeam files have landed/created with ZERO bytes. It just sits there for hours and you dont see any data being transmitted for some reason…..We do have a call with support but just wondered if you guys had any ideas. We’ve involved HPE and run scripts on the storeonce appliances which are able to send files between the devices (1G files, 10G files etc).

Hello everyone,I didn’t find configuration backup and restore in VBM like VBR, what is the best approach to do it? both backup and restore the entire server, and install it from scratch?

Just a quick question...I was tasked with restoring OneDrive data from an account for a client that apparently left and the user was deleted, but someone else was accessing the OneDrive data while the user account was still in the Deleted Users status/folder, but once the 30 days elapsed, that data was purged.  This client is currently being backed up by Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud backup (until I get those folks moved over to Veeam) but I noticed that the last backup of the data was before the user account was deleted.  Makes sense, but I hadn’t considered that their OneDrive would even be accessible by the other users during that time period if the user/mailbox had been marked as deleted.So my question is, if a user account is marked deleted, does VB365 still backup the deleted mailbox/OneDrive (or can it even do so - assuming that you had that user explicitly specified or had the job set to backup the entire organization, etc) until Microsoft purges that data?  I imagine I can test thi

Hi,I have installed Veeam agent on my windows 11 VM. I have a external hard drive connected to the physical host and shared the drive.I have it mapped on my VM.I cannot see it in my options for destinations.Is there any thing I can do to get this working? Thank you in advance.Colin 

Hi, our client just had a ransomware attack and unfortunately veeam server and backup files were affected. Client had to rebuild their servers and We had to reinstall Veeam and recreate backup from start again.We are looking into introducing tape as “offline” backup so we can restore backup files from it in worst case scenarios. My question is, if we reinstall Veeam B&R is it easy to re-introduced the Tape Library and is it easy to scan for it and retrieve/recover the Backup Files from it to Veeam Disk Repository?

Hello everyone, We have an HPE MSL3040 tape library and we have two F.C drives on it. The drives are detected on the Veeam server but one of them shows a red sign (screenshot attached). On device manager both drives are properly working. we are unable to use the parallel processing feature because the second drive seems to be non functional. Any ideas as to why this could be happening? Thanks in advance for your support.  

Dear Veeam Community,I hope this finds you well. I've encountered an issue after updating to Veeam Version 12 and was hoping someone might have come across a similar problem or can provide some guidance.**Problem Description:** After the update, I am unable to send notification emails. I consistently receive the error message: "Unable to connect to SMTP server because of invalid credentials or connection settings." I am certain of my credentials, having double-checked multiple times.Steps Taken:1. I've tried all configuration variants using both ports 587 and 465.2. When using port 465, I am able to apply the settings, but an error then displays.3. With port 587, the error surfaces after sending the test message.**Mail Server Error Logs:** From the logs, the following sections raised concerns:* `SASL login authentication failed`* `TLS library problem: error:14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate`The error regarding the TLS library is particularly concerning.

I am facing problems. Task failed. Error: Connection problems. Processing finished with errors.Veeam Backup & Replication Version 12

a company's backups are made in our company by OPENVPN, we create the jobs in their Veeam and send them to a repository that stays with us, but Veeam cannot find the network path even though the machine is connecting, if we try to add a host with different ip but on the same band it connects normally

Hello dear community, Today I upgraded one of our lab instances to 6.0.6 and am not able to login anymore.We use OIDC to handle logins, and I just receive this error now when opening the dashboard: I have the same version with the exact same configuration running on another instance, without any issue. Here is the partly redacted k10_val.yaml: auth: oidcAuth: clientID: [redacted] clientSecret: [redacted] enabled: true groupClaim: roles prompt: none providerURL: [redacted] redirectURL: [redacted] scopes: groups profile email usernameClaim: usernamecacertconfigmap: name: custom-ca-bundle-storeglobal: persistence: storageClass: vcenter-ssd-scingress: class: nginx create: true host: [redacted] tls: enabled: true secretName: [redacted] What could be the issue here?

Hey Everyone, As I understand it Veeam is fully vMotion aware. That includes storage vMotion. So if someone storage vMotions a VM the replication job should not have any issues? However, if someone moves the replica to a different datastore, based on @MicoolPaul best answer then you would need to remove from the configuration database and seed and  map in the replication jobs to the replicas on the new location.  

Hello,We have a backup copy job that offloads data to an S3 storage. We want to change the bucket used, but for a new backup copy job. The question is: if we deactivate the first backup copy job, will it retain the applied retention settings? Currently, we have a 15-day retention, with 7 days set as immutable.Veeam 12Thank you!

I’m trying to do Instant Recovery of a large server from a VeeamSourceSnapshot to a different volume. There is no option of doing this, what’s the workaround? We are using NetApp and it has a 100TB limitation on the volume size so this is the reason why I would like to restore to a volume that has more free space. Appreciate your input!
