Hi Veeam Community!We are looking to migrate our backups from a standard repository to an SOBR in order to utilise Wasabi storage for capacity tier. We current have backups jobs storing to local storage repository with 30 day retention, with copy jobs to a another backup repository at one of our other sites for offsite/archival backup purposes. Local repository is around 30TB and ‘offsite/archive’ repository is around 100TB. Ideally we would like to move the primary repository to performance tier of an SOBR and remote repository to capacity tier. Is this a supported migration, or will the backup copy job part cause us issues? Ideally we would prefer not to have to create new jobs, and maintain backup history. We are running B&R V12. Any insight or tips on how to achieve the above would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!Cameron 

Hi everyone!I have new Vms window 2019 serve. it is new and I don’t understand why it complete with Warning. on the same Veeam application I have more than 12 other Vms  which have larger file and alot programs. but all of the completed success. but this new VM show warning:6/26/2023 12:38:44 PM :: Unable to perform guest file system indexing: Failed to install via Deployment Svc    

We are looking to install Enterprise Manager and was wondering where the best place was to install it.  We have one VBR server with less than 100 instances to backup.  I have a Server setup for Orchestrator, can I put it on the same Server, or should I stand up a new separate one?

Hi,is it possible to use immutable repository like this repository from local disks RAID-5 on a physical windows 2019 server that have Veeam V12 installedand a Linux ubuntu 22.04 64bit on as virtual machine. thanks

Hi Everyone, I wanted to re-visit this. Does Kasten backup Longhorn without any issues now? I tried a while back and Longhorn there were problems even though I thought way back when I had been able to do this. I saw some other folks had issues as well.  I am going to try again on the weekend but just wanted to see if any instructions or “solved” cases were out there before I do.Thanks 

hi My client is a member of tkgm's guest cluster.want to do backup and recovery. I want to migrate from Cluster A to Cluster B. When performing a backupThe VMware CSI driver does not support Volumesnapshot because the current host version is 7.0.3. Therefore, the VMware infra profile is registered, and snapshots and exports are performed through the VADP api. When recovering exported data to another cluster   like the picture belowWhen the message occurs, the pvc recovery fails. I understand that the generic volume shown in the capture means the general volume. Why does this message occur? Is it because it is restored like a sidecar method rather than using VADP.api when performing restoration?      I would like to know the exact backup recovery logic for VMware tanzu. 

Hi,Will I need to do full backup again when I change encryption password?

Bonjour,Je souhaite mettre en place une infrastructure sans connexion à Internet et je voudrais savoir si Veeam Backup and Replication nécessite une connexion Internet.Je sais que cela fonctionne sans Internet, sauf qu'il n'y aura pas de notifications. Mais ma question est la suivante : est-ce que Veeam me demandera d'avoir une connexion Internet à long terme ?"

I want to backup two Linux Systems.And i get this error on both systems:Unable to perform guest file system indexing: Failed to establish a network connection to the host. 

I have a 5-instance Veeam license. The only tool I use is the “Veem Agent for Windows”. I have a 6th computer that isn’t used very often and I backup infrequently - once every couple of months. I have been using the “Veem Agent for Windows” free edition for that. Lately there’s a notice about a new version available - I’m currently using a v5 version. When I try to download the new version, I always get a message about the download being “corrupt”. So I went looking for the download, and can’t find anything for the “Veem Agent for Windows” anymore. Has this been renamed? 

Hi FolksDoes anybody have an idea of how many api calls a VBR → Tape Server → AWS Tape Storage Gateway Appliance might create when sitting idle, i.e. not actually performing jobs? I only ask since I was watching the setup and see Veeam periodically doing rescans and so was wondering if those will result in charges.

Hello!I have the question about VM restoration from just *.vbk file stored in the USB stick.Let say I did the Server 1 Hyper-V VM backup and it is stored in the Server 1 Veeam registered repository. Then I copy these two files on to USB flash and go to another remote location with Server 2 Hyper-V and plugin this flash into USB port.I did not find the answer on this problem anywhere, cause it is not just copied files, it is the full bootable backup. My impression is that VM could be restored only from the repository, not from any folder or even any shared folder. But even if I copy my files from USB to Server 2 Veeam registered repository nothing happens because probably Veeam sees only backups associated with processed jobs. Sorry if I am not clear, but it is really hard to explain. I worked before with Acronis, now moved to Veeam as  a much better product, but many things are unclear. Thanks!

I would like to ask about the term of veeam license, if i consider having 2 console, one in site A and one insite B with vm around 10 in each site, so it means that i have to buy 2 bundles of veeam licenses.Then the question is, if i were buying 2 bundle, will i get only 1 license file  or 2 license files ? 

Hi Guys.Is here anyone who tried to use Kasten on OCI (Oracle CLoud Infrastructure) block volumes and succeed?Seems I am not the only one who tries to utilise oci-bv storageclass

hello everyone,i’m a beginner for using veeam software, so I would like to know about the calculation of backup proxy needs. according to this article https://bp.veeam.com/vbr/2_Design_Structures/D_Veeam_Components/D_backup_proxies/vmware_proxies.html if I have 236 VMs with used data around 192 TB and for physical server is 17 with used data 50 TB,VMs proxy calculationD = 192 TB*1024*1024 = 201326592W = 8H*3600 seconds = 28,800 seconds (backup Windows in seconds)T = 52428800/28800 =6991MB/sCore Full = 1821/100 = 70, Core Incremental = (T*CR)/25 = 14 core, proxy requirement : 70core & 140 GB RAMwell, if I want to achieve backup windows in 8 hour the proxy that I need is9 virtual proxy8vCpu and 18 RAM for each virtual proxy server Physical ServerD = 50TB *1024*1024 = 52428800 W = 8H*3600 seconds = 28,800 seconds (backup Windows in seconds)T = 52428800/28800 =1,821 MB/sCore Full = 1821/100 = 19 core, Core Incremental = (T*CR)/25 = 4 core, proxy requirement : 19 core & 38 GB RAM2 p

Team,Can’t find how to specify the type of DB to be installed during the v12 unattended setup. I want Postgres =)Anyone can help?Alexey.

I am soliciting feedback from the community and Vanguards in Slack about an issue we are seeing so wanted to get feedback here also.Scenario - we have a customer using v12 with latest patches sending data to one of our DCs with Hitachi HCP Cloud Scale cluster which is very large.  They are sending over 20PB of data to us.Object Lock is turned on for some of the buckets and we are seeing billions of gets/puts/list commands which is causing havoc on the cluster worker nodes for HCPCS.The client has configured their jobs with the default block size of 1MB and we were thinking to change that to 4MB, but it would not make sense for 106-byte files.  That is the sizing of the files we are seeing the issue on for three buckets of which 2 of them are Windows servers and one is Linux.Any thoughts or has anyone run in to this before?  I am working with Veeam and Hitachi together as well but if this rings a bell for anyone your input would be great.Thanks.

I’ve added a shared mailbox to an existing backup job this morning - the mailbox is 7GB in Office 365. The job completed a little while later but in the summary I see “Transferred: 419.6 MB (25466 items)”. Those figures don’t add up, so I’d like to investigate more but I can’t see a way to show the backed up data size for any mailbox. How do I do that? 

Hi,I’d like to add Recovery ISO to boot menu so that I don’t have to use USB. Is there a way to do it?

Hello everyone! Recently I installed a new VEM, however I notice that configuration button is missing on the right corner: Am I forgetting something?I presume it is a permission problem, but I cannot remember that.

Hey Community, we have Customers, which have quite a big Physical Infrastructure. It would be really Helpful, if the Protection Groups can not only be having Top Level Folders, but 1 or 2 Subfolders for Organization. Something like:Steel Production Hot (Protection Group) Cold (Protection Group) North Wing 1st-Floor Management (Protection Group) Sales (Protection Group) 2nd-Floor Technic (Protection Group) Engineers (Protection Group)  If you are thinking different or have a better solution for my Problem, i would be happy to hear/read what you have to say. GreetingsMathias

Hi folks,Can someone explain to me “the programming dummy” this word mutex? Is it just a log shock and awe term, i.e. someone like Geoff sees something “mutex” in the logs and thinks back to Grade 10 Math and makes a quick retreat? 😁Recently I have seen this word in different logs and wanted to double check with the pros before I press the terrifying search button on google. (I say that because I had a red mark on my face and thought I should google, it basically told me all the horrible things that it could be, until the unsponsored answer way at the bottom had a nothing to worry about explanation)!!
