I can able to select "target storage systems" and "target datacenter" but when ı came to "target compute resources" could not see anything to select.Env; vcenter 7 u3 and Netapp ontap 9.7.Ps; ı was able to see hosts from one collect with vm's. Also can not see "compute resources" when ı select "restore" options.Any idea why compute resources not showing ?Thanks in advance,

My company leases a dedicated Windows 2019 server on the Ionos cloud platform. I would like to implement a disaster recovery solution using the Veeam community version. My aim is to be able to restore a bare metal backup to a new Ionos Windows server.  I have installed Veeam v11 and successfully created a backup repository and have done my first bare metal backup. My question is: can I create a bootable recovery media that doesn’t require a USB drive, and then use that media on a new Windows Server in the cloud? Is there documentation on how to do this?

Hey guys, I have a question.What kind of backup does veeam create, transactionally consistent or crash consistent backup? what is the difference between them? 

Ive been playing around with Veeam the last day or so and not having much luck.  we have 2 servers running 2016 with RDX backup drives. I have installed community addition on one im using as a test server, the other one is in production running AD, DHCP, DNS etc.  We also have a small NAs we can locate in a seperate building to give us ofsite backups/copies.So far non of the backups have worked, seems to fail on a rescan needed.Maybe I should be using agents and not community ?  Just about all the help/instructions go into VM and more complex stuff than we need. I have only ever had to recover files twice and server once in the 15 years Ive been supporting them but its enough to know that next time I want it to be a lot easier and have backups configured so we have fairly up to date data.  Weekly would do at a pinch.  So yes critical that we have it but no ones going to lose much and its a balance with costs of loss and cost of implementattion.  Sorry for going on.Any suggestions as to

We have VBR BAAS, provisioned in VM, initially we sized  it with the server inventory provided. How can I know or what will be the basis if I need to add addtional cpu or ram in the veeam backup server?for example: addtional 10vms added in the job will add 2 cpu and 2gb ram?

Hey guys,I just wanna understand the difference between recovery and recovery verification.Recovery verification is testing VM Backups for malware scan and if nothing found we proceed for restore. While performing recovery, there is an option to perform malware scan.The question here is for recovery if the customer chooses to perform malware scan then what is the difference between recovery & recovery verification? Can anyone tell me or am I wrong somewhere?

Hi,I am useing PowerShell doing VM Restores. It works pretty well. The only thing, that is not working for me, is to place the Target Network. I am restoreing VMs in an different target. If I understand the documentation correct, I need to Get the ViServerNetwork Info from my host. So I put this information in a varible like this:$target = Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo -Server "srv01.veeam.local" | Where-Object { $_.NetworkName -eq "NW01" }But putting this varible to the Start command, the restore process will fail because auf the -TargetNetwork. So what I am doing wrong? Start-VBRRestoreVM –RestorePoint $restorepoint –Server $server –ResourcePool $rpool –Datastore $datastore –PowerUp $true -TargetNetwork $target

Hello to all,On my Veeam Cloud Connect server I have a SOBR with 2 extents and S3 storage from Wasabi.1 of the 2 extens was recently added but no offload to the S3 was happening.I probably shouldn't have, but I removed the S3 from the sobr then put it back.I ran a rescan and since then I have the "Configuration Database Resynchronize" job running for almost 63 hours ....There are 15TB of backups on the S3 storage.Is it normal that it takes so long? What can I do?Thanks

Hi,  We are using Veeam to back up our on Prem HyperV VMs with no problem.  This is working like a dream.  What we urgently need to do is restore a VM to AWS EC2 that we can RDP onto.Ive tried this but when I start the EC2 instance RDP just doesnt work…. Some backgroundWe have an on-prem domain mydomain.local with two physical host servers that contain around 9 VMsThis onprem set up is also covered by Forticlient VPNIn AWS we have a VPC (for example myVPC) with a public and private subnets.  Im able to spin up new EC2 instances into both subnets and connect them to our domain and login with a mydmomain\User for example with no problem.  The issue is when restoring a VM to EC2 via Veeam to our public subnet - there is no way I can RDP to it.  Ive checked that the security group has RDP 3389 listening but no joy.  I cant imagine that Im the only person who has tried to do this????  Does anyone have any advice or walkthrough on this?  As it’s really giving me a massive headache! Many than

how should we take backup in kubernetes environment? it is agent based or agentless, share the procedure?

We have been using VCC for two years. We keep a couple of months on performance storage and use GFS to move data to the archive storage.  The provider uses Wasabi for archive storage (news to us). We have never had the need to restore from archive until this week. After trying for two days the provider (a Veeam Platinum provider) has told us they must move the entire archive (app 160 TB , copy jobs from ten office locations) to their local repo, have us restore, and then move it back. Honestly the process is very concerning and we were never told of this.My question is has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal? Is the move of data down and back up to archive reliable (since we can’t test restores once its back there)?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated since I am very concerned about the integrity of our firms cloud backups.Also has anyone moved providers? Is there a migration process or similar? Charlie

Hi, team I have a weird one for you. Have you ever seen a copyjob fail due to a normal backup running at the same time? I have been running into an issue where a copyjob is running and then a scheduled backup starts while the copyjob is running. When this happens, the copyjob will fail and throw the error: ”Source restore point is locked by another job ” My understanding is that this should not happen. I did notice that the last time it happened, there was an incremental to full backup file merge happening. I am not sure if that may be the cause in this case, but I do not believe that is always what’s happening when I see this error. The copyjob is set to Immediate with a 24x7 schedule. This server is running VBR v.11

I have a server I am running VBR 11 on. The option to rescan repositories has just outright disappeared. I have tried closing and re-opening VBR, but this did not resolve the issue. A server reboot has also not resolved the issue.

We wish to run the replica on a different IP periodically to extract data from the VM.  Hence time and again I perform failover to replica using the RE IP options within Veeam and then undo the failover. Just checking if anyone has anyone automated failover and undo failover for a Veeam replica using Powershell. 

Hello community,I have an issue with a file to tape backup in combination with the usage of VSS.I have to copy the files of the RMAN Backups to tape. The backup files of the RMAN and SAP plugins are not recognized as backup Jobs with the tape jobs, so I have to copy them as files and not as jobs.The RMAN backups are running 24/7 - so there are some open files every time the copy job runs. And therefore I have activated the usage of VSS in the file to tape backup job.Every time the job runs an VSS error is given - "Shadow copy provider vetoed the operation"I did not find useful information to this error.Does anyone have some idea why VSS is not working properly? A reboot did not help. On the drive is enough free space (around 62,5 TB free of 105 TB total).

Hi,I have problems, restoreing VMs from s3 to vmware cloud on aws. I get a permission denied error.s3 and vCenter is added probably in veeam b&r thats insalled on VMC too. I can see my backups in Veeam B&R in VMware Cloud on AWS. I also can see the virtual machines in VMware Cloud on AWS. But I cannot give crendentials to the vSphere hosts, because it is not allowed in VMC. I guess that is the reason for my problem? What can I do, to use Veeam in VMC to backup and restore my VMs? 

Hello,Is there a dashboard in Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 like in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager? if no, Can I connect my VB O365 to my VB Enterprise Manager in order to see the statistics in the dashboard?Thanks,Omar De Souza.

Hello everyone, I am new on Veeam and I am planning to perform backup tests in my environment (VM’s, Local Storage, etc.). I would like to hear from your experience the best procedures to performs these backup tests and ensure that our systems/infrastructure are prepared for recovery whenever needed.Could you advise on how to proceed correctly?Thank you in advance.

Hey guys, I have two questions For veeam backup for nutanix, after I install a nutanix plugin on VBR will veeam setup a nutanix proxy VM or should we setup the proxy VM in the nutanix cluster? If VBR backups to a repository, later VBR crashes and I deploy another VBR and add the repository which has the backups stored, will this new VBR able to access or see the backups stored?

Good morning, everyone! Quick question. I have a copyjob that is throwing random “No Cloud Gateways available” errors. The odd thing is, it’s the only server that is having the issue and the our cloud connect server is fine. I am not quite sure what is happening between the cloud connect server and that backup server, but I want to get to the bottom of it! What would be the best Veeam log to check for info on that? I can run through the Windows Event Viewer, but I also want to see if any of the Veeam logs can shed some light. You all rock! Thank you so much for being great!

Hello Veeam, I would like to ask regarding on how to size repository needed for Veeam via http://rps.dewin.me/If customer gave the data size that needs to backup which is 28tb and backup policy must have 2YR retention and the sched will be 24months Full, 4 weekly Full and 7 Daily incremental.So technically I will create a "Backup Copy Job GFS” in Dewin, and will enter 24 in Months the total for that one is 219.2TB, will create another one for weekly will enter 4 in Weekly and total of 44.2 TB, and last for Daily incremental will select "Forever Incremental” and retention will be 7 and total of 31.89 TB. For all type of backup i checked the Refs/XFS, 10% conservative for change rate, and 50% on data left after reduction. So it means i will add the total for all and that is equivalent to 295.29 TB of storage. So i need a total of 295.29 TB with 2YR retention? I think is is too much give that Veeam have dedup/compress features, if you will size can you share the details as well. Thanks

I am trying to find or build a report that will provide a line chart for each datastore trending over the last 4 - 6 months.I looked at the report - Datastore Space Usage History - the data appears to be there under the individual datastore headings, but it appears that will be a significant amount of data manipulation to make it work.Is it possible to get the data in a .csv format?Does anyone else have a similar need and has addressed it?Thanks in advance.
