We have quite some users, that work at least a few days per week in their home office, connected to the corporate LAN using a VPN tunnel. so the local Veeam Agent can connect to the VBR server, and therefore is doing regular Veeam backups over the VPN connection, cutting down the bandwith that much, that the users cannot work anymore in their home office. Two approaches:1.) limit bandwith used to an user adjustable speed rate2.) only run Veeam backups, if the IP address is pointing out “the-laptop-is-connected-to-the-Corporate-Network” (no VPN WAN IP address)

Hello to all Veeam enthusiasts and professionals,I’m finalizing my Backup Infrastructure plan and I would like to get advice, and corrections if anybody is willing to help, and discuss 😁 The only thing that is confusing me is the use of Backup Proxies, do I need them, is it too much now in this setup, do I need something else to make the performance of Backup Better?Comments are welcome, I am still learning this and each day brings something new.

Good morning,I’m attempting to restore a single file to an Ubuntu workstation (Vmware VM (ESXi/vCenter)).  I’m able to browse the file system, the FLR appliance sets up properly, everything looks good, then it fails, there is NO error in the logs..  There is 1 single warning:Skipping mapping [/media/sda3 ↔ /], because custom mapping on mounted path [/media/sda3] already exists on [/]Not sure if that warning is what’s causing my issue, however it is the only NON -INFO entry in the entire log… Any insight would be greatly appreciated!Thanks,-CoreyP.S. having a real hard time finding a community support forum, so if this is the wrong place to post this I apologize...

Hi, I have a client that wants to back-up his S3 buckets. Everything I can find talks about backing up to S3 which is great but not what he wants. He has a DR policy that states that he has to have a copy of his cloud files on prem. I’ve gone through the AWS module for Veeam from top to bottom, but I can’t find a solution. I was hoping that EFS would work but it does not.

Hello Veeam Community,I hope you're all doing well. I recently encountered an issue after migrating our Veeam configuration, and I'm seeking your expertise to resolve it.Background: We successfully migrated our Veeam Backup and Replication configuration to a new server. However, after the migration, when attempting to open Veeam, we encountered the following error message:"Failed to connect to Veeam Backup and Replication. Access denied."Troubleshooting Steps Taken:We double-checked the credentials used during the installation and confirmed they are correct. We ensured that the required services are running on the new server. We reviewed the firewall settings to make sure there are no blockages. We verified that the necessary permissions are assigned to the Veeam service account. We even attempted a clean uninstall and reinstall of Veeam, but the issue persists.Current Status: At this point, we are stuck and unable to access Veeam Backup and Replication on the new server.Request for As

Hey VEEA-ers, I finally got VEEAM installed and running and configured and I am starting to kick off jobs, but my speeds are slow (100mbps) or when writing I have a full 10gb backbone and a dedicated NIMBLE specifically for my VEEAM data and I have a physical server with 4x 10gb NICs on it (2 for management and 2 for data) any ideas as to why it could be slow? I am doing some troubleshooting, but was curious if anyone had any thoughts before I went down a rabbit hole thanks guys

What is Veeam’s plan to address the newly discovered Cuba Ransomware exploit? Is there a patch forthcoming soon? https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cuba-ransomware-uses-veeam-exploit-against-critical-us-organizations/

Hello,I'm trying to change the retention type on my VBM365 backups from Item level to snapshot, but it doesn't give me the option to change it if I select the same folder on the S3 bucket. Will I be required to initiate a new full backup?A second question: I want to understand how Item level retention works, as it's not clear to me. I have a 5-year retention on Exchange, how does it work in the background? Thank you

Hi to all.I am sorry as the question was asked already, but it is hard for me to understand the resolution.I've been working with Veeam Community Edition for some time and I'm generally satisfied when it comes to restoring virtual machines.But I have one server, which is also the the Veeam Backup server AND it has other applications running. I am aware that this is not a recommanded configuration.I have a big problem: On the Windows server 2019 where Veeam Community Edition (VeeamBackup&Replication_12.0.0.1420_P20230718)  is installed, I also back up the physical server.I can also create a USB boot stick in the Community Edition by right-clicking on the backup copy. This boot stick (Recovery Media 6.0.2) then also starts and you can search for your backup file. If you then selected the corresponding file, the following message appears: "Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is unable to open backup files created by Veeam Backup & Replication".So I have a backup, but I can't use it.

Hello Veeam Community (probably the best one)One topic came to my mind today when I was going a little bit deeper into FastClone with ReFS.The question is this:On the primary site, Plan is to have VM with ReFS storage connected with iSCSI Initiator to Synology.With that infrastructure we will enable Synthetic Full Backups which will have FastClone enabled.Now, because I’m referencing my Backup Copy Jobs to the main Backup Jobs I want to know how this will work in above scenario.Since FastClone creates Synthetic Full with only references to the previous backups in the chain, what will then I have on my secondary site when that Synthetic Full backup is transferred to the secondary site?Will I have only references to the backups that are located in the Primary site (that is probably something that all of us don't want) since that is what that file is consistent off or it will have references to the already copied Backups on the Secondary site? In case if we lose our Primary Site than our

Hello,I would like to get our backups to be efficient as much as they can be.Current situation in production is that we are sending our backups to Synology SMB share on main site, and over WAN Accelerator to our secondary site also to Synology SMB share using Backup Copy Job (immediate copying).Currently I’m testing iSCSI on main site. I created Synology LUN and connected it to the VBR server via iSCSI with ReFS and configured Synthetical Full because of the FastClone option. Need more time to see how it will perform.Now the question is where to implement Backup Proxies and how to use it in our case.I know that best option would be to have physical server’s both on primary and secondary location.How it will benefit our sitaution?And another question is do we need to configure iSCSI also for Backup Copy Jobs or it is okay to have it via SMB and WAN Accelerator from the Main site to Secondary Site.Best Regards

Hi! We just recently changed our service account password that we use for Veeam services. So I went into Credentials and Passwords > Datacenter Credentials > Manage Credentials and made the change there after changing the account password in AD. I know Veeam processed the password change because the proxy servers and repo servers went back to online after being offline after the change. However, after a couple of nights, all the backup jobs failed. Long story short, the Veeam services using the service account did not get change so the services had to be restarted.What is Veeam’s behavior after a password change? I would tend to think that Veeam would at least pop a message stating that it is not changing the Veeam services credentials and this has to be done manually. What am I missing here?  

I’m having challenges getting a job creation script to work for creating VM backup jobs. The code has a switch to create a VMWare/Hyper-V job based on provided input. The job is created without needed customizations in three areas (1) setting the schedule, (2) setting the retention policy, and (3) setting an encryption key on the backups. I haven’t gotten #3 in the code yet, but open to thoughts. After I run the script, it succeeds but the settings for #1 and #2 aren’t fully applied.In the case of 1, the schedule is added but the job schedule isn’t enabled.In the case of 2, nothing is enabled. I couldn’t find any other approach to do #2 except with a JobOptions object. Any ideas why not?In the case of 3, I would use JobOptions if I could figure out for both but am contemplating just using Set-VBRAdvancedStorageOptions as that is straightforward. #After Job Creation, the $Job variable is applied with the job it just created. #$JobStartTime is created with Get-Date starting at 20:0

Hi folks, I have a little doubt about this kind of backup and I need to clarify it. Our client ask us what’s happens when there are users in multiple groups, and a backup job for single group. I know Veeam manages the backup to avoid unnecessary duplication and save storage space. Is correct to say if a user is in multiple groups and these groups include overlapping items (for example, the same mailboxes or SharePoint sites etc), Veeam takes an approach to avoid duplicate backup?But really question is: In these cases VEEAM send a warning for those backup jobs? I never tested it and I appreciate your experiences in O365 backup.Thanks all  

Hallo,gibt es bei Veeam einen Vergleich der Features der drei Veeam Editionen Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam Data Platform Essentials und Veeam Backup & Replication CE?Ich finde nichts.VG, Chris 

I downloaded the Veeams Agent for Windows and went through the setup process for a full volume backup. I followed the online manual to set the options. However, there are some questions that remain, and I was wondering if anyone could help?The first question I have is that the backup file size is almost 1TB (or about 30%) smaller than the size of the volume to be backed up. And this is not just empty space, the volume had 3.6TB used space, of which only 2.7TB was backed up. What is the reason for this? Looking at the compression ratio, it doesn’t seem sufficient to explain the discrepancy. E-mail summary report​​​​​The second question is actually related. The backup I made was of my C: drive, and I want to know if I were to use the full volume backup for restoring to a completely new drive, would it restore the drive exactly including the boot sectors (i.e. I would simply be able to swap in the new drive and the computer would boot and run as before)?  Below I show a screenshot of the

Hello,Are there any advices on how to have better performance for our “air-gapped” or “immutable” backup on site.We have two locations, Austria and Serbia.VBR Server is located in Austria where our critical infrastructure resides also.Veeam is configured to do regular Backups to the Synology NAS located also in Austria.After that we configure to do Backup Copy Jobs (immidiate) from Austria to Serbia.In Serbia we have one main Synology NAS and other one also Synology for air-gapped.I would try to do something like this:1. Configure Power Schedule on NAS to be powered only on weekends.2. Configure Backup Copy Jobs and chose source as Serbia backups that are already copied from Austria and send it to the smaller NAS in Vienna. There is also few other solutions, to automate this with rsync if possible, to manual copy from one nas to another, or just to create regular backup jobs but then it will go trough IPSec and it will be a lot slower.Is there any option to connect them maybe directly
