Hello  Can you connect a Veeam Infrastructure Appliance (VHR) hardened repository to Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) which [(VBR) is running ver 12.3.2]i'm assuming is via SSH,  My question is three-fold is this at all possible?if possible which user account is recommend?Does this require su if sudo fails current user accounts veeamadmin veeamsvccreate new one? how do make new account sudo if veeamsvc where do you find single use password?Are there any KB or blog on todo do this?I know the simple answer is update VBR to version 13, this is work seamlessly.I’m looking at this from a backwards capability point of view . Thanks 

Hi,we backup our ad users with Veeam and had to restore some of them. So far no problem, the restore succeeded and user was back including the old password.The user could logon into computers, but he wouldn’t get any kerberos tickets. Only after a password change the behavior was completely normal.We couldn’t find any reason for this as only timestamps get changed with the user object. Any ideas why it istn’t working as expected?Thanks and happy holidays

Hello everyone,What is the best practice to backup VMs on HPE Simplivity?

Hi,Where do you guys mostly download Yara rules for Veeam from?This GIT looks not maintained for years (files from 2022).  https://github.com/YARA-Rules/rules/archive/refs/heads/master.zipI also used those links but I had some troubles when scanning backup.https://github.com/Neo23x0/signature-base/archive/refs/heads/master.ziphttps://yaraify.abuse.ch/yarahub/yaraify-rules.zip

Hey there, we need Offsite-Backups of our Unstructured Data. Since the Backup Files are roughly 3,5 TB in Size, its impossible to get that Data to the Site directly due to slow Internet Connections. So i first configured a Secondary Target NAS for the Backup Job Onsite to get that Backup Copy onto it. I then moved that NAS to the Offsite Location, changed it’s IP and added it back into Veeam as a new Repository. Did a Rescan of that new Repo and Veeam found the Backup Data and added it. I now added that new Repo to the secondary Target in the Veeam File Backup Job and removed the first one (which was the same NAS with the Onsite IP which is now invalid). I then restarted the actual Backup Job. It created some data, finished teh Job and the new Backup Copy Job started. But here’s the problem: It completely ignores the Backup Copy already in existence on that (now) Offsite NAS and instead starts creating a whole new Backup Copy. This is absolutely inacceptable. How can i tell Veeam, that

Attempts to back up a Wallix Access Manager virtual machine recently deployed at a customer's site on HyperV result in the following error:Processing Acces Manager V5 Error: VHDx:CVhdxDisk.InitialValidation: Incorrect bitmap entry type (PAYLOAD_BLOCK_ZERO): See [MS-VHDX-v1.00-20160128] specification section 3.4.1.2. Agent failed to process method {VHDX.GetDiskInformation}.I edit the virtual disk to made a conversion from vhdx to vhdx from Hyper-v panel, but it doesn’t work.Do you have any ideas on how to fix this problem?Many thanks,Morgan

Hello - I am running Veaam Backup and Replication V.12 and am attempting to configure email notifications using Microsoft 365 modern authentication. I authorized the connection via the MSFT 365 signin dialogue and when complete I can see the indicator that the token is valid, but when I send a test email I get a general exception error message (see screenshot). The error doesn’t give allot to go on, has anyone else seen this and can recommend a solution?  

HI..I create user account for myself in Enterprise Managerbut when i logon using my account why i got error ‘Cannot find backed up machines where the user belongs to Local Administrators group’ 

I try to use Veeam13 appliance version, and need help can/how i can mount the iscsi drive to the veeam13?

I have installed Veeam Software Appliance on fresh hardware. My intent is to recreate my backup infrastructure around it and then deprecate my current Windows server that handles the jobs. I am not finding anywhere to download a license key for version 13. It does not show in my account portal as an option for generating a key.

Hello guys, I’m using the Calculator on a daily basis, and am pretty sure the calculation is wrong (or maybe I’m?? :D) when you consider Immutable GFS Backups to Object or local storage.If you backup Immutable the Calculator will ask for a immutability Period, this in fact does not matter when using GFS as always one Full Backup will be kept for the configured GFS Retention.Or at least as far as I’m aware.Heres my test:Lets say we have 16TB of source Data, this is the immutability with 14 days and gfs.​​​​​​ As far as I understood it, 16TB is round about the source capacity, of course we will shrink it a bit thanks to compression.Lets say a full backup will then be 10TB which seems surreal already. And lets now turn gfs off in the calculator.Now we only have 14 Dailies immutable but we are missing another 11 Full Backups as stated, GFS will always take full backups. Am i doing something wrong? Is the calculator not able to predict this scenario? 

With the newly released Veeam v13, we need to install it at two sites, perform primary backups, and then cross-replicate the backup data from each site as a secondary step.Is this a feasible scenario? 1. Backup Server Configuration- Site1: Dell R760 + VSA (Three backup target servers; agent connection and backup completed)- Site2: Dell R760 + VSA (Five backup target servers; agent connection and backup completed) 2. Additional Configuration Required- Backup Copy from Site1 VSA's backup data to Site2 VSA's backup repository (with Veeam WAN Accelerator enabled)- Backup Copy from Site2 VSA's backup data to Site1 VSA's backup repository (with Veeam WAN Accelerator enabled) 3. Questions- I'm unsure how to register the Site2_VSA_Repository on Site1_VSA. I attempted to register it via the Veeam UI below, but I don't know how to handle the Linux authentication part.Backup Infrastructure→ Backup Repositories→ Add Repository→ Direct Attached / Network / Linux - Is there any documentation that co

I have one VBR server with tape installed in main office.Then i also have VBR on other branch in different city and can i use tape on main office to store the backup?I try to add tape server on branch VBR server and pointing to VBR server on main office and should i take the ownership? 

Hi there,I have a question to which i haven’t found any satisfying answer so far.I manage an IT-Infrastructure with three distinct sites and locations.In the past we have used Acronis Cyber Protect but are now switching over to Veeam.Every site is supposed to have its own Veeam B&R Server managing its clients and servers, but only one of them should have a dedicated hardware Tape-Server connected that writes the backups of all three to tape.While I loathe Acronis, WHEN it worked at all (big when), it didn’t care where the backups originated from and simply wrote everything in its SMB-share to tape.Veeam doesn’t like this, cause apparently you can’t set up a tape-job for “imported” backups.From what I gathered, I have three options that are all either worse than with our old solution or will outright not work, haven’t tried all of it so far.We could simply do the tapes as “file to tape” jobs and copy the backup files of all three sites. But that would probably double recovery time c

Does anybody know if in the VEM 13 REST API, the JSON responses have been changed to follow a more accepted naming notation (sorry the notation name escapes me)So e.g. in version 12 a json element that used to be called Entities, it is now called entities, BackupJobSession becomes backupJobSession etc which is enough to make Javascript scripts fail.It seems every element starts with a lowercase letterAm I right that this is something that has changed between versions?Is there anyway to get a v12 style JSON from v13 VEM? ThanksCostas

While installing Veeam Backup & Replication v13.0.0.4967 from the ISO (Rocky Linux–based appliance), the installer stops mid-way with an “An unknown error has occurred” message from Anaconda.The traceback points to dnf/base.py related to remote package selection or repository fetching.This occurred during the “Downloading packages” stage. Who else has run into this error? Another error, you could run into is this “Appliance Installation Stuck on "Configuring addons" and the following KB addresses what to do correctly.

One of my VBR use rental license and i’m not understand about the calulcation.Total I have 25 endpoint backup by VBR, 1 is windows agent, 21 is hyper-v, 3 is vmware where i split into 2 job.The qty of my rent license is 275.In the license information we can see I have 22 VMs and total used point is 242 (22 * 11).  In the license report the qty used is 242 and in the bottom of report sya this report is not include 2 new VM. My question is :Totally i have 25 endpoint, but wht the license only counted for 22 endpoints? What is +33 in the license information? And why in the license instance only showing 23 endpoints? Why the windows agent showing 0 likely this not consume the license? in the license report why not included 2 new VM? Is there any delay? 

Hello guys,Having a problem with one of our Repo.I upgraded the VBR from v12.0 to v12.3.2 before I upgrade it to v13 since it’s required.After that I have problem with this repo. How to check which account VBR is using when trying to do the upgrade and is there a way of manually upgrading the repos?Thank you. 

Hi Everybody,a Customer of mine posted the following in R&D forum because we have some issues with his M365 Backup. They have a Case open since May adressing this issue but there is only litte to none progress. I thought that maybe anybody here might had a similar issue in the past and maby even a solution or workaround:We’re currently facing a critical issue involving both Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR), and we’re hoping to hear from others who may have encountered something similar.Background: After restoring Office files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) — whether from Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 or via VBR from local backups — the files can no longer be opened. They appear to be corrupted, even though they were fully functional in their original state on SharePoint or in the file system. Restoring to different SharePoint sites or local paths didn’t help. One notable detail: the restored files are smaller in size than the originals.Suspected C

Hi everyone,We’re running Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3.2.3617 Community Edition and during the Backup Copy job that copies to a USB drive the “Backup Copy USB.vbm” is not saving backup meta.Error message:Failed to save backup meta to [\\ServerName|usb|Backup Copy USB|Backup Copy USB.vbm] Error: Failed to call RPC function 'FcRenameFile': An unexpected network error occurred. Failed to rename file from [\\ServerName\usb\Backup Copy USB\Backup Copy USB.vbm_13_tmp] to [\\ServerName\usb\Backup Copy USB\Backup Copy USB.vbm].I went through several troubleshooting steps in Veeam Backup to try to fix the recurring error with the VBM file.Troubleshooting steps taken were firstly to disable Indexing on the USB external hard drive.I also forced Veeam to rebuild the .VBM file on the external USB hard drive.I copied existing VBM file, deleted it off USB hard drive, then resynced the Disk (Copy) to USB backup job. Veeam then automatically rebuilt the .VBM. This worked, but the same error is s
