Hi,I have a successfull running backup job of 10 vm (which is the limit). I recently moved that vm to another server/datastore and the backup job claimed that this machine wasn’t found the following evening.To correct that problem, I edited the job, removing that vm and re-adding it to the job.Since that time the backup job report that I exceeded the maximum, which is not true!Is that someone can help me with that please? Denis GravelCEGEP de Thetford

Likely a noob question, but just want to be sure things aren’t broken.I’ve got a setup with Veeam B&R Community Edition on a single windows machine. I have full backups scheduled weekly, and daily backups every day, to a Quantum LTO-7 drive, using LTO-6 media.The console reports the total capacity of the tapes as 2.1TB. Allowing for the whole base 10 / base 2 argument, this is what I’d expect. The full backup (done last night) reports total transferred is around 1.1TB, but the tape is only reporting around 250GB free. I’m expecting around a TB free (2.1TB - 1.1TB). You can also see that the “daily” tapes are reporting 2.1TB free (again, this is expected - there’s not a lot written, maybe ~90MB per day, so not enough to make a difference to the free space reported)Is there something amiss somewhere, or am I going to have to migrate to LTO-7 media a lot sooner than I thought?  

Hello, I have a query.In a scenario with large mail files (OST and PST) that only change partially.Is there an option in Veeam Backup to only copy the part that has changed?How does deduplication.Does Veeam implement this functionality?Thank you for your attention.A greeting.

I am having a hard time trying to migrate our Veeam365 (azure marketplace image) VM in Azure to another subscription, due to Microsofts restriction regarding move VMs with a plan attached. My latest idea was to use Azure Recovery Service to replicate the vm, and then do a permanent failover. The ASR supports cross-over subscription so it would do the job.When doing the failover, I get an error saying that I need to accept the terms of the image vms.This should be done with the azure cli command: az vm image accept-terms --urn veeam:office365backup:veeamoffice365backup:3.0.0have also tried with the subscription id in the paramteres, but the results is the same:The VM image can not be found. I guess its because its an older vm-image which Veeam now doesnt offer on that azure marketplace. So where can I go from there..? I am starting to perhaps use Veeam for this just case but before spending more time it would be great to now if this Plan paramteres is somehow following the imagedisc in

Some time ago K10 went bananas and I had to disable it entirely. I have 20TB used on snapshots, it just keeps growing. I got to delete restore points, yet nothing happens. I’m now stuck with a small army of FCD’s I cannot delete manually or expand or do anything with. Where do I get rid of all these snapshots K10 created? I’ve deleted EVERY single restore point for each backed up application. This was backing up ~2TB, now I’m filling up my SAN at a rate of 5TB/day if I don’t disable the policy. I cannot find anything using all the documented commands via kubectl. Latest version K10, vsphere 7x etc. Do you have some tool that use the VDDK api to delete orphaned or all snapshots? I’m getting close to kicking K10 out.  

Bonjour tout le monde,Je vous remercie par avance pour toute l'aide que vous m'apportez régulièrement.Comme toujours, j'ai besoin de votre aide pour migrer vers la version 12 de Veeam. Actuellement, nous utilisons la version 11, mais le support a expiré il y a deux ans. J'aimerais savoir s'il est nécessaire de renouveler le support et comment procéder pour effectuer la migration vers la version 12.Merci d'avance pour votre aide.Cordialement.  

Hello,As I’m doing Backup Copy Jobs to second location I think it would be good to have Veeam B&R on that site also if somethings happens with primary location.For me I would need advice on licensing the second Veeam B&R.My primary Veeam B&R is on the primary site so If everything goes down there is no way to restore VM’s without it.

I have installed Veeeam Backup V12 Community edition on a local Windows 10 PC.  I have a 4TB external USB drive connected to this machine that I intend to use as a backup repository.The local machine uses a VPN connection to connect with a shared windows server 2019 drive located on a remote server. The connection is always on.In my reading across various forums, Veeam seems to the the product of choice to accomplish this. The tutorials I have read thus far appear to target a much higher level of backup sophistication (VMs, Hyper* and whatnot). Can anyone please advise or point me in the right direction to accomplish this somewhat trivial task?Thanks

One of the great features we’ve gotten with V12 is object-lock with Azure S3.@Rick Vanover did a great walkthrough for MS Ignite last year with a V12 beta already.With new storage accounts and containers it works as he explained, which I could prove in a few environments already. My (and some of my customer’s) question now is: can we enable it safely and supportedly on an existing blob bucket with let’s say hundreds of TB of data already inside? First, you would have to enable “version level immutabilty” within the container: Quite easy while creating a new container like Rick has shown, but if you would want to do this afterwards, you first had to enable a policy on the container: Having this policy also makes the container differ from a freshly set-up immutable container. The latter would not have this policy.To add this policy one would also have to enable versioning for the storage account beforehand: I tried that in a testing environment and ended up being able to activate immutab

RKE2 v1.26.2  is now bundled with a snapshot validation webhook (https://github.com/rancher/rke2/pull/3944) which prevent K10 backups :  message: 'Failed to create snapshot resource k10-csi-snap-b926xgtp79mbbq6w, Namespace xxxxxx: admission webhook "rke2-snapshot-validation-webhook.csi.kubernetes.io" denied the request: expect resource to be {snapshot.storage.k8s.io v1 volumesnapshots}, {snapshot.storage.k8s.io v1 volumesnapshotcontents} or {snapshot.storage.k8s.io v1 volumesnapshotclasses}' 

Buenas!!!!Quiero configurar un backup de una VM con ciertas consideraciones y me gustaría que me dijéseis cómo lo configuraríais vosotros para ver si estoy en lo cierto o se me escapa algo.Backup de VM, siempre full, nunca incrementales. Mantenemos 15 días el backup, al día 16 se borra el fichero de backup. Si antes de esos 15 días lanzo un backup a mano, borrará el backup anterior, el nuevo será full y se mantendrá otros 15 días. (Lanzo con Start, no con Active full. Es correcto?)Aparentemente es sencillo, pero los parámetros de “reverse incremental” me confunden un poco… Además el parámetro de retención no sé si debo ponerlo a 1 punto de retención o a 15días...Gracias

Hello, it’s about Veeam Backup for M365.would it be possible to start a backup job automatically when a previously specified backup is completed?For example:I’ve a Backup Job which safe just Microsoft Teams on a Server A.So when this Backup Job is finished, then start automatically the second Backup Job with Microsoft Teams on a Server B.

Hello to all,I configured Backup Copy Jobs to the second location via VPN.Two WAN Accelerators on source side and one on destination.VM’s with low disks are going perfectly but the problem is the big ones.Our FileServer is arround 7TB. Is it normal to take this long, its the first Backup Copy job without initial seed. 

Is there any way to successfully produce a backup copy job of a set of file shares to a rotate set of USB drives that will be swapped out weekly? If not through the mechanic of the backup copy function maybe another way? Thanks,T   

Hi, I tried my luck with the subreddit but I recon this is a better place for support. I was recently pointed to Veeam products for backing up my local machine onto my NAS server.The machine runs Windows 10 with no VMs, ryzen 5900x, a 2.5gb nic, and it includes 1tb ssd and 1tb nvme (OS) for backup. The pc is connected via direct ethernet to the nas (10.0.10.1)I've gone through the job configuration OK; the backup job was created successfully.  However, when the job runs and begins to backup, it fails with an undisclosed error "28/02/2023 20:05:14 :: Error: Error in the application "   Upon investigation of the logs, 10mins into the backup: [01.03.2023 02:10:15] < 45676> cli| ERR |Failed to dispatch pending requests[01.03.2023 02:10:15] < 45676> cli| >> |Data error (cyclic redundancy check).[01.03.2023 02:10:15] < 45676> cli| >> |Asynchronous read operation failed[01.03.2023 02:10:15] < 45676> cli| >> |--tr:Error code: 0x00000017[01.03.2023 02:1

Hi,I have been trying to understand how the “Restore to MS Azure Iaas” works. I need to know hos this works so i can bring up this feature with our customers.I have an Azure Storageaccount as a SOBR + my local NAS.I hade some failures to achieve a Azure to Azure restore before i found out that restores to Azure wont work when my Performance Tier is online. The process didnt restore FROM Azure as i wanted to test out.When i put the Perfomance Tier in maintenence mode i got it to work! (Thanks Veeam Foums for this!)What i furthermoore found out is that the restore speed from the storage account is far away from the miximum perfomance of 60Gbps / 7500 MB/s.Restore Speed:My restore speed was 169 MB/s,. This can ofcourse be a “OK” speed but i cant find out what the maximum speed can be or what the bottleneck could be for restoring. Conversion Speed:After the data is restored from the Azure storageaccount the data is then converted into a VM.  My concern is really about 2 things - “Documenta

Hi, we just upgraded to the latest VB365 v7 and configure new backup job for whole organization sharepoint sites ( around 550 users) at first full we had a lot error 429, but now its still same with incremental jobs.any experience with these error ? :) tomas 

If we have established backups for a server, and we add an additional disk to said server, will and should Veeam automatically recognize and start backing up the newly added disk?

Hi,Does anybody has encountered the following odd situation: Situation (a): QNAP NAS full/over quota. When running the Veeam backup, it fails as expected reporting that the target directory is full.Situation (b): QNAP NAS with very little space (32MB left of 2TB). When running the Veeam backup, it hoses the NAS ....Top  Where in the second situation the QNAP NAS can no longer be accessed.  Any already attached ssh session becomes ‘stuck’ as soon as it tries to access the disk.  Also the number of smb process on the QNAP NAS keeps increase over-time. I have a Windows 10 machine with Veeam 11.0.1.1261 running backups remotely to a SMB shared on a QNAP with QTS 5.0.1.2194. Is there anything that I can do to prevent this from happening (i.e. actually get an error from Veeam in the second situation rather than an unresponsive NAS)?Thanks.

Hi, my friends!How to customize customize backup job notification email on Veeam 12?

Ciao a tutti,avrei bisogno di conoscere quale sia la via migliore, secondo voi, per quanto riguarda la gestione del bkp dopo l’aggiornamento in place del OS di un server VM. Vedo (e spero) di spiegarmi meglio:Ho clonato un server in Prod utilizzato dal reparto DEV per aggiornarlo come OS (da W2K12R2 a W2K19) utilizzando la procedura In Place (richiesta proprio dai DEV). Tutto ok, anche dai test dei colleghi tutto funziona alla grande, a questo punto mi è stato chiesto lo switch off del vecchio e dopo le opportune modifiche (Hostname) la messa in produzione del nuovo.Circa il bkp (utilizzo la versione 11.0.1.1261 P20220302) come è meglio procedere?Elimino dalla configurazione il Job (possibilmente copiando i bkp precedenti su Tape) e lo ricreo partendo così da una situazione pulita? Oppure esistono altre strade migliori?Grazie a tutti e buona giornataMaury

Hello,I am facing problem to validate location profile with GCS configuration. My Kubernetes Cluster is behind http proxy and I can’t see any http proxy configuration when I install K10. Is there anyone ever faced like this, please share your way 🙏

Hello community.I'm testing Veeam's immutability proposal using an XFS repository on Linux. Everything works great, but I have the following doubt: How does cleaning old immutable backups work?I've noticed that the test repository is running out fast, I'm cleaning it manually as root, but I'd like to know how to deal with this situation.Thanks

I foolishly used an IP address for a ‘temporary test system’ which became a permanent fixture.A change of network schema means the repository is now on a new address.It does not appear to be possible to change the IP address in VEEAM (I should have used a fqdn). I could start again with new backups - but is there a method to resume backups to the same repository after re-defining it? All advice welcomed.Latest v11  

In version 11 we could open the properties of a tape and check on tab Jobs to see which sessions are on this particular tape. We used this to note on the case label and could keep track on which tape has the oldest data. Now we have upgraded to version 12 but this information isn't shown anymore on the Jobs tab at the Tape Properties. How can we enable this information to be shown again.We use a HP Autoloader tape library and Veeam Backup and Replication.
