For well know reasons myself and many here recommend to - if possible - deploy VBR and especially it’s repos outside of the Windows domain.Certain issues come as a downside with doing that:Maintaining multiple local admin logins, remote-UAC (LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy), firewall behavior outside of domain networks etc. being some of those.Recently I stumbled upon a situation were we could not establish a connection from a non-domain-joined VBR server to a newly deployed non-domain-joined Windows 2019 repo server. Other older proxies/repos to the same VBR were available and functioning.From the VBR server the admin$ share of the to-be-connected new repo was not accessible (“invalid login”).VBR also stated “invalid login” during Windows server onboarding. But from another (domain joined) Windows system in the same (direct, non-routed) network, the repo’s admin$ share was well available with the same user/pw.Of course no Windows firewall whatsoever was active.Very strange.Has anyone se

TapeDrive alert: The tape drive is due for routine cleaning: Wait for the current operation to finish. Then use a cleaning cartridge. Check the tape drive user manual for device specific cleaning instructions. We have the cleaning tape in the library, and it is set to Perform drive cleaning automatically. Not sure why we would get the alert. Would ejecting and adding back to the drive resolve this issue? 

Buenos días,  He montado un SOBR con repositorio local y AWS (immutable). Mi problema está en las solicitudes API de AWS, que no son pocas ni baratas. Según he buscado y leído, es un “problema” común. Las soluciones que he implementado son: Job > Storage > Advanced > Repository > Local target (large blocks) SOBR > Capacity Tier > MoveAlguna recomendación mas? Alguien se ha encontrado con lo mismo?

Good morning my friends, I have a question. Today I have 2 external HDs, where every Saturday I change one HD and the other week I put the other HD. One of them is doing the incremental process on the same folder regardless of the week it is. Already the other HD is creating a new folder and making the backups again. I don't want it to create another folder, I want it to use the same one. How do I do that? Since the other one is doing it and I just repeated the settings from the 1st HD to the 2nd HD.

Hi guys, I was wondering if it is possible to enable the encrypt option for all backup jobs using powershell. I already have created the encryption key/password.  Your help would be appriciated. 

I’m using VBR Enterprise and I’ve an issue with a SQL Server database restore to a Hyper-V VM.  I am currently backing up the VM using guest application processing which is working fine.  It uses PowerShell Direct because the SQL VM is on a private VLAN, which cannot be accessed from the VBR server which is hosted in a different data centre. It can however access the hypervisors and all backups have been successful.  Frustratingly, I’m unable to restore using the same methodology in reverse.  Surely if I can backup successfully using PSDirect, I should be able to restore using the same method?  I asked Veeam Support and they sent me here. 😐When I try a restore, I get an error saying VBR cannot access SQL… I can confirm that Named Pipes is enabled. Has anyone else ever run into this issue and found a fix?  I really don’t think it’s acceptable that I’ve to ask for help on a community forum regarding an enterprise product that should work out-of-the-box, but here I am!

Hey all.  Using Veeam Backup and Replication 11 we backed up some files using a files to tape job as a once off outside of our normal backup routine.When I look at the properties of the tape I can see the individual files listed.However when attempting to restore an individual file I get the following:Can I not select individual files to restore?  Do I have to restore the entire tape or am I doing something wrong?thanksjc

Hello, I have a question. I am trying to implement a Veeam Backups Server as a Location Profile in K10. But for some reason, I always get the following error message. Furthermore, I do not see any requests or events on the firewall between the worker nodes and the Veeam backup server. None that are blocked, nor any that are allowed. The IP, the port, and all other information are definitely all correct... Error Message: 

- 1 to many destination replication job- ability to resizing the replication job menu/console- when I edit replication job and go to virtual machines tab, I wish to have more info of the source VMs presented like (cluster, vcenter, etc). it is helpful when you have the same VM name in multiple vcenters. 

Ciao,su una infrastruttura Hyper-V 2019 ho implementato una soluzione di disaster recovery replicando periodicamente le VM su una farm gemella su sito remoto.Tutto bene se faccio failover delle VM ma quando faccio il failback, nonostante i dati modificati siano pochi (solo per fare il test, ad esempio), veeam impiega circa 3 ore per riallineare tutto sul sito di produzione (parliamo di qualche TB di vhdx). Ho visto che nonostante dica di utilizzare il CBT si deve spazzolare comunque tutti i dischi ed aggiornare le VM originali anche se solo di pochi MB.Sbaglio qualcosa io o è un comportamento previsto ?grazie.

Sorry if this appears twice. I thought I had created the question, but cannot find it.Veeam backup&restore has an application config file that is protected by a password.How to I test this password? I do have something written but I want to prove it is correct.I’m hoping to do this without installing a new copy of the applicationMany thanks

I swear I’ve seen some posts about this but can’t find them.  I haven’t dipped into the Linux Hardened repo’s with immutability yet, but one of my engineers recently set one up for a client, but as a copy repository.  I’m putting together a proposal to replace our internal Synology NAS that is our primary repository with a Dell PowerEdge R550 with a fair amount of local space (8x 8TB disks in RAID 5 or 6) connected via 10Gb or 25Gb links. Backup data is currently copied to a SOBR at a remote site that is using a Synology NAS and Wasabi for immutable object storage.  Right now the primary site is keeping 30 days of Forward Incrementals with Active Full’s with no GFS retention, but I plan to ramp up some more retention locally at some point as I ran into space issues a few months back and ended up doing all of my GFS work on the copy repo at the remote site for the time being.Any gotcha’s I should be looking out for this sort of configuration - primarily in regard to using a hardened box

hi there, the last couple weeks i face a weird issue which i will describe below.i have Veeam B&R installed on a physical domain joined server 2012 r2. up to now i was able to add all other servers in the infrastructure (one more physical server 2012 r2, some VM servers 2012 r2 and a Azure file server 2019) without any issue.even a remote non domain joined server over a VPN connection.my issue is that i cannot add a non domain joined physical 2022 server located on a remote site which we have VPN connectivity, as a standalone server. need to add it as we are going to have a VN running there.please see attached, thank you in advance for your assistance.ps: i can ping the server and credentials are tested and working just fine since i can connect to that server using RDM

I am currently using Veeam EssentialsOur HCI is Nutanix and we have roughly about 28 VM’s on itWe are currently evaluating Proxmox VEHow can i restore full Backups of my critical VM’s to the Proxmox VE? 

We have a location in the US where our VBR server in DE seem to have some connection issues sometimes. Latency and packet loss I see in smokeping is not that high, even better than for most of our other remote locations. Still we see errors like below in out backup and offload jobs for 2-3 VMs out of 35 on a daily base. The IP is the local proxy there. Processing xxxx Error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 172.31.132.113:2508   First job retry is successful most of the time. Anyhow, I’d like to get rid of those errors. Support suggested to change following regkeys to adjust.ConnectByIPsTimeoutSecAgentStartTimeoutSec But this did not change anything. I think we need settings for retries not timeouts. Any other ideas? Network team already checked everything and did not find anything. As I wrote, monitoring graphs also do not look too bad.
