Solved

Hello all,This is a weird situation. A couple months ago, we had a production system issue and we used Veeam’s instant recovery to bring a database server back online. Being a small IT shop, once the server was up and available we transitioned to user support and long story short, we never finalized the restore and moved to production. Fast forward a couple of months and we were hit by a ransomware attack and all of our VM files (.vmdk, .vmx etc) have been encrypted. We were able to find a snapshot of our storage that seems to be intact from a few days before the attack, but the actual files in that snapshot for this particular server do not boot, which is what it did to trigger the instant recovery months ago.My question is, where would this VM have been running? Is there a hope of it also being on the snapshot somewhere? We do not have a well-versed Veeam person on staff, our entire IT department has been here a maximum of 4 years and none of us were involved in the deployment of thi

Hi, there. I’m trying to use muti-cluster portal using k10mutilcluster. First, I succeeded to setup primary cluster like below.  However, I can not join secondary cluster to muti-cluster portal and faced the error message like image below.  I don’t know why the secondary cluster can not add in multi-cluster. So, What should I check it?  Plz help me. Thank you.  

Hello everyone,If we are going to use Veeam to backup VDI and RDSH on vSAN cluster, what are the recommendations for RDSH and VDI (Full, linked, instant) clones backup? I think backup linked and instant clones doesn’t make sense, we can backup gold images, full clones, users profiles. I appreciate your feedback and if there is validated design document for this solution to be shared.

Hi all.We are looking to utilize azure PostgreSQL PaaS for the config DB for Veeam V12 but need to know if this is supported. Docs show PostgreSQL is supported but doesn't specifically say if we can use PaaS. 

Buongiorno a tutti.In azienda ho implementato una strategia di backup delle nostre vm che si basa su dei backup jobs che scrivono sui dischi fisici del server veeam stesso ( windows server 2016 con filesystem NTFS) ai quali ho agganciato dei backup copy jobs ( un job e copy job per ognuna della circa 20 vm) che scrivono su un SOBR formato da linux box ubuntu 22.04 con immutability attivata e a ruota su capacity tier cloud s3 compatibile con object lock attivato. Lo spazio cloud richiesto è di circa 10 TB (arrotondato per difetto). Il tutto funziona regolarmente ma purtroppo i costi sostenuti per lo spazio cloud sono abbastanza importanti (Reevo) , al punto che sto seriamente pensando di switchare a Wasabi. Sto testando una trial di 30gg e le performance di upload sono superiori a quelle che ottengo attualmente. Ho provato l’immutabilità, il download, tutto ok... L’unica cosa che molto onestamente mi lascia perplesso è il costo di wasabi, talmente basso rispetto a quanto pagato ora ( st

Hello, I’m trying to set up an external repository in CE12.  I was able to create the container ‘backups’ and I can see it when I go through the repository wizard in Veeam BUT the wizard requires a folder as well as a container.  For the life of me I can’t figure out how to create a folder in the container.  Any help?

Hi Team, The customer wants to setup ransomware alerts on Veeam One. And also wants that if any alert comes then backup should be stopped.I have checked the documentation and found that action option is available in alert setting where we have option to run script. can you please help me with the script.Thanks!!    

Hallo Zusammen,ich bin neu bei veeam und stehe vor einem Sicherheits-Problem und finde nicht wirklich eine Lösung.Laut der Dokumentation von Veeam B&R wird für das Sichern von VMs von Hyper-V (Standalone/Cluster) administrative Rechte benötigt.Permissions - User Guide for Microsoft Hyper-V (veeam.com)Wenn jedoch die Hyper-V Hosts Mitglied im MS AD sind, ist das ein Risiko für die Sicherheit. Grüße

The company I work for has recently taken over another, with each having its own network, domain & Veeam B&R setup.  One side (A) is mostly broken from the backup side with B&R installed on an ancient server and the repository using the same storage as VMs which has quickly filled up.  A & B live in the same data center, connected through their own firewalls.  My first thought to fix this mess is to remove the broken B&R completely from A (remove from hosts etc) and use the working sides (B) B&R, utilising a Veeam proxy installed in A.  Any thoughts or suggestions?  Would the firewall only need to be opened between B&R in B and proxy in A?

Hello, i'm using Veeam Backup & Replication 11 to backup a VM. This is working fine, but the order Backup-Files (vbk) wont get deleted.  My Settings so far: Retention Policy: 10 days Reverse incremental Active Full Backup -Create active full backups periodically: Sunday Full backup file maintenance - Remove deleted items after: 7 days Would be great if someone can give me a hint which setting is missing

Hello,VBR,ONE, and Enterprise manager configurations hosted on external failover SQL cluster, what is the best practice here for those SQL hosts, backup it as application-aware, or via agent, or just backup VBR configuration via configuration backup job?

Hello, We’ve tried upgrading our VBR/EM from V11 to V12 GA today. EM upgrade goes fine, but:VBR upgrade issues a warning at the beginning, requesting to… upgrade EM, although it’s already in V12 and operational. It’s just a warning though and we can continue the upgrade The upgrade then fails in the 1st step with an error “TFS354792” about a database patch missing. We also tried to completely uninstall/reinstall VBR but the installation fails at the same step with the same errorI’ve seen kb4204, but I don’t get why it fails for a completely standard upgrade from the latest level of V11  ( 11.0.1.1261 P20220302 )?We had a couple of “private” fixes installed after P20220302 for various issues with cdp, could it be related? 

I have 3 issues that I cannot resolve nor find answers to.I’m running the Windows Community Edition V5.0.0.4708 on two Windows machines.  One is Windows 10  22H2 and the other is Windows 11  21H2. These two machines are being backed up to a file share on my TrueNAS server.The first issue is that from time to time the backup fails with the following error message: “Error: The network path was not found. Failed to get free space on disk '\\xxx.yyy.zzz.nnn\Clients' --tr:Error code: 0x00000035 … The network path was not found”.  I configured the back to use either host name or IP address as the backup target, but it seems to make no difference.  This happens on both machines.I thought that it might be a timing issue that when the computer wakes up to do the backup, the backup starts before the computer has established a network connection.  On the Windows 10 machine, using the BIOS I able to create a wake up event approximately 2 minutes before the Veeam agent started.  This lessened the i

Actually I have tried to install v12 RTM as a in-place upgrade on 4 customer servers now and all fail.Veeam support has been on remote session and we will continue the work tomorrow since it also failed at last attempt after hours of troubleshooting. Would be interesting to hear if there is anyone else who has been issues with the upgrade? The servers I have tested has the latest v11 build and server 2016. Very simple deployments with few config settings so no big issue. But so far I am a bit concerned to start upgrading larger deployments.

Hi All,Currently we are using Agent managed backup jobs. When we perform the decommission of backup jobs/remove a computer/workstation from backup job/rotation, we have to keep track of the retention of deleted computer/job manually and to remove the backup copies from ‘Disk(Orphaned)’/’Disk(Imported)’ . We have also enabled the ‘Remove deleted items data after’ parameter. But still we could see some scenarios were we want to delete the backup copies manually. My expectation is Veeam to delete the backup copies automatically once it crosses the set retention (even after the job/computer is removed from backup rotation). Is there a way to achieve it?

Hello,I am currently looking for a way to generate a report / extract of the backup execution status for 1 machine for the entire last year.Is there a way to do this using Powershell, SQL or something else?Thanks for your help

i just try to deploy Kasten on tanzu kubernetes cluster and have the error:  Any idea?

I am currently using Veeam B&R V11a. I also just installed Veeam One. As part of Veeam B&R, I have several windows servers which have the “Veeam agent for microsoft windows” agent installed. None of the servers  with “Veeam agent for microsoft windows” agent are showing up in Veeam One. The data collection method for Veeam One is set to “Veeam Backup Data only”, would I need to change it to a different “Data Collection” mode?

I am building new physical server running Ubuntu. System is installed on hardware RAID controller. Installed VEEAM agent, made full backup. Booted up from Linux Media (unpatched), restored all volumes and after reboot server can’t boot any more =( Any suggestions?Cheers, 

Hi dear Veeam community, i’m wondering if it’s possible to migrate the configuration database to a PostgreSQL DB on a Ubuntu host?Can’t find anything about that.I’ve setup the db but i’m facing an error:  The port on the ubuntu is listening, credentials are correct.Does someone have a clue?Best regards :-)

Any gotchas/considerations you would like to share?

I have Kasten installed on Openshift. Infra nodes consume kasten license. Why is that? Can i prevent it? Can i see which nodes consume my license.

A few years ago we were a Service Provider with a Cloud Connect setup and offered our customers Cloud Connect Repositories. We then saw tjen object storage really started to take off it would be costly to maintain a datacenter with this service compared to the prices object storage was offered by the hyperscalators! We then started a partnership who ran Veeam Cloud Connect environemnt with service provider console. so we could still track and monitor our customers backupjob etc. but the backup now went to the object storages. I am just wondering, is it necessary to deploy a cloud connect environment at all to just use the service provider console for monitoring jobs, update the agents etc.? I can see in the marketplace (Azure) there is a dedicate appliance with the service provider console. Would that be enough to maintain our clients? We are now using Wasabi for repositories. I guess I am having a hard time to see what we would gain from the cloud connect environment these days? (Perh
