Hi all,  Maybe I’m not understanding how the Backup Server calculation at https://www.veeam.com/calculators/simple/vbr/server is supposed to work, but seems to give inexplicable results. 1000 Workloads with 500 workloads per job (2 jobs) == 36 cores, 80 GB RAM 99999 Workloads with 500 workloads per job (300 jobs) = 12 cores, 24 GB RAMLess extreme examples produce similar results, seems like we end up with kind of strange requirements no matter what values are added.

We have recently inherited a Kasten system and we are trying to (1) understand how Kasten works and (2) figure out why some of our applications are non-compliant. One issue that we are currently investigating is why one application in particular always fail due to timeout. We are trying to backup a namespace with a couple of PVC:s (using CSI:s - Ceph RBD and Ceph FS). The total backup size is approximately 1.5 TiB.When we first noticed an issue with this application, we saw that the backup failed due to timeout (10h). We then increased the timeout (to 24h) and the next backup worked! (It took 11h.) However, all subsequent backups have failed due to timeout. We have been troubleshooting this for quite some time now but have been unable to find anything conclusive. The worst part is probably that we don’t really understand where in the Kasten deployment to look for relevant logs. Any help figuring out the particular issue or general information about best practices w.r.t. troubleshooting

Hallo an alle,ein herzliches willkommen nun auch von mir. Ich leg direkt mit einer Frage los. Ich würde gerne meine Veeam Agents for Microsoft von der Version 6.3.2.1205 → 6.3.2.1302 updaten.Die Agents sind managed/deployt zentral durch meinen B&R Server. Ich möchte aber nicht meine komplette B&R Umgebung dafür updaten. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, nur die Agents für Microsoft zu aktualisieren?Danke euch.Viele GrüßePhilipp  

We have received an update alert for recent CVE for KB ID 4771, to install a patch. What we want to understand is not in any guide, is - Is this patch just for our Windows VBR server…? Are there any pre reqs. Going through the setup of the .exe from the ISO there are no checks and no reboot required, this was tested installed on a non Veeam server which may not give the correct results…?Thanks in advance Tony

Just installed brand new Widnows 10 VM, installed 12.1 veeam backup and replication but what ever I do this does not work.  Checked and all services are running  any thoughts would be much appreciated. 

Hi, this is my first time posting on here - hoping to get some advice from the wonderful community!I have been busy studying for the VMCE exam and I’m close to the point where I am ready to take the exam. I was doing some research into where/how I book the exam and I came across this on the Veeam website:This is very unfortunate timing on my part, but I was wondering if anybody could tell me what is replacing this exam? Have I wasted months of my time prepping for an exam that is being retired? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hello Veeam Community,I’m performing a restore process in Veeam Backup for Google Cloud and encountered an issue after the data restoration phase. Here are the key log details:  The disk restore completed successfully, but the instance restore failed due to snapshot creation error. Question:Has anyone faced this issue in GCP restores? What could cause snapshot creation to fail after disk restoration? Any recommended troubleshooting steps or permissions to check? 

hello!client of Veeam for 10+ years, previously use Veeam Backup & Replicationnow we add another server and need additional licenses, our Veeam seller said, that we must change our product and now we are proud Veeam Data Platform usersbut how with convert our installation from VBR to VDP? backup server be the sameI must uninstall VBR and install VDP or there is more safe way?(i ask this 24 October to Veeam representatives, but don’t get answer at all) BRSaules Ieleja 

We have licensed Veeam via Socket License and want to Backup our Windows DCs from a different Console than the Rest.They are running on the same ESXI Hosts as the other VMs we already Backup.Is this possible with our license?

Hi,Previous I have turn on backup notification but now after turn off, email is still send ? Any idea where I can turn off ? Sample email notification 

Hello Community!  I am new to Veeam (last used 7 years ago, so might as well be new). Here is my current setup:  I have two Mini PC’s running Proxmox as the “Compute”.They are connected over 10GB  to a different server running TrueNAS, via iSCSI.So the VM “Data” does not actually reside on the Proxmox machine, it just acts as the compute side. Now, I have installed Veeam on a Barebones Windows machine.  I configured the Veeam software to connect to the Proxmox servers (success) and it installed the proxy’s.First backup tested was successful, but the others failed.They show “succeeded” but with “Warnings” and no actual data has been backed up.“disk scsi0 has been skipped due to unsupported storage type” I find this odd since the storage type on the successful backup is the same as the other VM’s I am running, (Three Ubuntu VM’s & Home Assistant OS). Any insight would be appreciated!

I just updated the Veeam Agent version to 6.3.2.1302 on my home computer. I don't use a server because it's a single machine with a single backup job, although I do use the Community Edition in other environments.I re-burned the recovery agent to a USB drive, and when I tested it, neither the keyboard nor the mouse worked. The BIOS recognizes them fine, but when the agent starts loading, it disconnects them.I've tried having up to three different keyboards connected to different USB drives, and re-burning the USB drive four times, making sure the option to copy drivers is enabled, but nothing seems to work. I've never had this problem on this computer before.With this and the previous bug that prevented me from recovering backups from a network drive, which has since been fixed, I'm starting to think I spend more time trying to fix Veeam errors than actually using it.Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi, new install of veeam with a dell poweredge server and powerstore connected via iSCSI. this will be a hardened repo.Has anyone tested the optimal settings for Veeam including immutability against the powerstore so the powerstore can still perform the data reduction tasks? 

I have VBR installed in Site-B to backup VM under hyper-v and vmware in Site-A.Connection from Site-B to Site-A using ipsec vpn site to site with 2 internet link for redundant.The VPN have same policy for both connections. When the link use primary link then the VBR can backup the VM but if the primary link and connection switched to the backup link then i got error only for Vmware when using backup proxy.I try to ping from the backup proxy in Site-A then the proxy is able to reach HS-W2019.This error mean the backup proxy is not able to connect to the HS-W2K19 on port 2503? Error: Failed to connect to the endpoint [HS-W2K19:2503]. 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 

I have recently installed the Scale Computing plugin into our Veeam B&R 12.3.2 server. If we are currently using Microsoft Agent Backups, is there a migration path to moving to direct VM guest backups via the Scale plugin? If not, can I utilize VM guest backups via Scale plugins for 'new' guest servers and also back up pre-existing servers using the Microsoft Agent method?

I'm trying to add an Openshift hosted  k10(7.0.7) instance deployed via Operator to Veeam B&R(12.2.0.33.4). Dashboard is exposed correctly via Route and I am able to access it and login in my browser.But when I try to add it in Veeam B&R server, an errror appears : Kasten service is unavailable. When looking at Veeam Kasten plugin logs: <2dac> Error    REQUEST FOR RESPONSE GET https://kasten.apps…../:443/k10/vbrintegrationapi-svc/v0/server[06.09.2024 09:48:09] <6bc9> Error    VB connection validation failed[06.09.2024 09:48:09] <6bc9> Error    Kasten service is unavailable. (System.Exception) Has anyone encounetered something similar ?

I need some honest opinions here.  Do you all restrict internet access in your Veeam infrastructure?  We have our infrastructure segmented with VLANs and firewall rules, and only allow access from jump boxes to those specific devices.  Is allowing internet access on the Veeam devices (for updates, license updates, etc.) a bad idea?  I feel like with the precautions we have in place, allowing internet access would not be an issue, but I wanted to see what other professionals think, and maybe point out a scenario/flaw that I'm not thinking about.

I have a k8s cluster with 3 work nodes and I have Kasten k-10 running under kasten.io namespace. I have different VM for Veeam backups and replications.  When I go to Add Server and select Kasten adn provide the IP and port it work well.  When I add new credential of service account name and its token I see the following 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.Can you please tell me what is the issue?Really thanks full. 

Hello everyone!Veeam 12.3.2.3617, Community Edition, Workstation Backup by veeam agentI’m having an issue with one of my home PCs.

Hi everyone,Im going to update Veeam from 12.3.2.3617 to 12.3.2.4165. How much storage should I keep free to upgrade it?Regards.

Hi everyone, So we just made the switch from Symantec Backup Exec to Veeam a couple months ago, and so far I'm very happy. With Backup Exec however, you had the option to permanently retain backups, which seems to be missing from Veeam. For Windows Agent backups, Veeam forces you to choose a retention period for a maximum of 730 days or restore points. Problem is, this customer requires permanent retention with the ability to restore data from 10 or 20 years ago, if possible.  What are my options here with Veeam? Isn't there a way to disable the retention policy or retain data beyond 730 days? And believe me, I've looked at all of Veeam's program options and haven't been able to find anything to this effect. We can't be the only company with a permanent retention requirement. Thanks for your help!Kurt

Hello All,  I need to take backup from postgres cluster using Veeam, the postgres is deployed in clustered nodes (3-nodes).As I know and did it before, we can use Veeam Agent for Linux to backup single node holding the postgres database, then I can perform the restore for the file using Linux FLR.  Here I have some points to be discussed :1- I know we can perform image-level backup for the VM holding the postgres, and ask the DB admin to provide us pre or post-thau script. In this cause, would it be better to use Linux agent backup on the VM instead of VM-backup? What is the pros and cons for using Agent or VM back with postgres? 2- can we create a script from our end as backup admin as simple script if the customer does not have his own script? In this case appreciate if someone explained how the script works? 3- how can we backup clustered machines, do we have to install Linux agent on all cluster nodes? How can I point the nodes to take backup and restore? Comparing to Microsoft SQL

Hello community, Can someone provide instructions for the recent patch? I am looking to upgrade from 12.3.2.3617 to 12.3.2.4165. This is my first patch upgrade via ISO and I want to confirm I am installing correctly.  Thanks!!

Veeam Backup & Replication includes several built-in credentials: Helper appliance credentials Tenant-side network extension appliance credentials Provider-side network extension appliance credentials Azure helper appliance credentials  I understand that the documentation recommends changing the Azure helper appliance credentials before deploying Azure helpers.However, I would like to change all four built-in passwords (for security and compliance reasons), even though I’m not using Azure or Cloud Connect helpers. Is it supported and safe to change these built-in credentials (in the Credentials Manager), or could this cause issues with helper appliance deployment or communication?

Scenario: A user submits an urgent ticket - a very important folder has been deleted from the file server.IT will ask ‘when is the last time you saw that folder?’ and they usually don’t know.So, I fire up Veeam Backup and Replication. Click Restore > Microsoft Hyper-V > From backup > Guest file restore > Microsoft Windows.I’ll (randomly) pick a backup from 2 days ago. Wait (forever) for the backup to spin up; then navigate to where the folder should be, only to find it’s not there. So I close it and spin up a different backup set. I’ll keep doing this until I eventually find the folder and restore it. This takes forever.Is there a faster way to do this?
