Hi,  We’ve just upgraded our Veeam Backup and Replication server to v12.1.0.213.  All went very smoothly.  I also upgraded the Backup and Replication Console, which sits on another server, to the same version. We usually use this for access to Veeam.  Again, the upgrade went well with nothing untoward being apparent.  However, now my Veeam console will not log in to the Veeam Server. I get a message saying “Failed to connect VeeamBackup & Replication server: The logon attempt failed.”On investigation, I found that this occurred when I was using the server name (as the field was auto-populated with this info from before the upgrade).  However, if I use the IP of the Veeam server, the console connects as expected.  I tested this using the full FQDN of the Veeam server, but still did not connect - it only seems to connect using the IP. Has anyone got any suggestions of how I can connect using server name again?Thanks. 

Hi all,With release 3.7.0, Ceph-CSI has finally introduced shallow read-only CephFS snapshots which are pretty much zero-cost compared to the "old" snapshot approach which required a full copy of all data on the values in order to mount the snapshot for reading. https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/devel/docs/design/proposals/cephfs-snapshot-shallow-ro-vol.mdCephFS backups onto S3 with Kasten are almost impossible for me currently as the volume generation from the snapshot takes much longer than the configured timeout limits for even a medium amount of data (50GB) and uses a lot of resources.I would except shallow read-only snapshots to solve this, but it seems that Kasten still uses the old way. From what I gathered from the documentation, as long as the snapshot volume is mounted read-only, ceph-csi should use shallow snapshots.Is my configuration incorrect or has Kasten not yet implemented this? Thank you very much,Pascal

Cybersecurity is a constant battle, and backups are a prime target. That's why I'm exploring how to integrate Palo Alto's Cortex solution with Veeam to further strengthen.Can you help me with these questions?What kind of integration exists between Cortex and Veeam? Is it a native integration or does it require additional components? What layers of protection does Cortex offer to my Veeam backups? Does it detect threats in real-time, analyze suspicious behavior, prevent ransomware attacks? How does backup scanning work with Cortex? Is it automatic? Can I customize scanning policies? What kind of threats does it detect? Can Cortex protect my backups both on-premise and in the cloud? Does the integration work with different cloud providers? What impact does Cortex have on the performance of my Veeam backups and restores? Should I consider additional resources?

Hello Team,I have a question about snsapshots for ESXi and Proxmox.  I have taken some snapshots for some virtual machines.  The veeam backup can restore these snapshots?  As long as I remember, I got error with snapshots during restoring.  I deleted all of snapshots for ESXi virtual machines.Please let me know if I should not be included snapshots during taiking backup. Regards,

Hi! anyone can advise me to fix this issue? I got an error while creating a VM worker node in the following message: Failed to get HypervisorNetwork[]. Method 'GET /nodes/pve1/sdn/zones' not implementedMethod 'GET /nodes/pve1/sdn/zones' not implemented  

Hi everyone who can help me to adviseI tried to connect my Veeam server, but it could not start; it errors the following message.No connection could be made be because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1. Make sure the backup server you are connecting with is 12.2 version

I have found pervious items saying that (with Veeam) I should be able to backup a centos machine from vmware, and do an ‘instant recovery’ to hyper V.   I have tried a few times, and i must be missing something.First….Veeam 12 Backup and Replication Community EditionWith my testing, I have backed up a couple of Windows SQL machines and Centos machines (not many due to Community Edition)So as part of my last test, I am trying To backup from esxi and restore to Hyper-v.    The centos version is 7, and has 2 hard drives.Backs up just fine….I try teh instant restore to Hyper-v…..   at first it works great.  With the counsol on hyper v, I can log into the machine, and all looks good…...but when the restore finishes, i get either garbage on teh display, or it boots into emergency mode and I can’ do anything other than power cycle it.    Any idea?

Hello everyone, First of all, I would like to ask my community because I am not fully familiar with Yara rules. When scanning for Malware Detection with Yara rules, can you see which files have Malware in which locations with Yara Rules? When I do a direct Malware scan, if there is malware, it shows the machine under the malware tab but does not give details. What can I do for more details here Hello everyone,

Hi Guys, here is a good one.We have one job, protecting VMs in 2 different VMWare Virtual Centres. Each VC has its own proxies.VC1 is Netapp NFS datastores and we use Auto selection of transport mode (Direct Storage)VC2 is Dell HCI with iscsi datastores so we can only use Hot Add.The issue is that Veeam doesn’t appear intelligent enough to pick the right proxy for the VM. Its choosing an HCI proxy to protect a 3 tier VM and hence fails to NBD mode.How does the Veeam Proxy selection work ? Surely it can work out the basics and choose a Proxy in the same VC/host as the target VM, and on the same or similar network and not a completely different one.The issue is that if it can’t, we will need to split VMs into different jobs which is far from ideal.ThanksPhil

Hi AllI am having difficulty doing a full VM restore.  I get the below error.  I do have a veeam ticket open but no results so far.  I think this is a connection issue.  The address of 192.168.12.211 is my vCentre server.Im using Veeam essentials 12 and vCentre 8.0I can restore individual files, but not the entire VM.Any ideas?  Im really stuck.Thanks28/08/2024 10:57:10 Error    Restore job failed Error: Cannot get service content.                             Soap fault.

una delle limitazioni che c’è per i Linux Hardened repository è quella per la quale l'hardened repo deve essere collegato a un solo server Veeam.Stamattina sotto la doccia ho pensato a un workaround per questo: la mia idea è:Utilizzare un hardware come ad esempio l'HPE Apollo Installare un hypervisor come ESXi (controllare le matrici di compatibilità!) Se desiderato, mettere un vCenter (io lo metterei) Creare N macchine virtuali, ciascuna con un'opportuna quota disco, che diventeranno dei Linux hardened repo, tante quante sono i server Veeam che dovranno usufruirne Come da best practices, le interfacce fisiche e i virtual switch etc etc saranno separate fra uplink delle VM e Management dell'ESXi/vCenter Le interfacce fisiche di Management e quella della ILO o iDRAC saranno connesse a piccolo switch dedicato e isolato dal resto della rete Per la gestione si potrà collegare un NUC/miniPC completamente dedicato, isolato dalla rete e connesso solo al piccolo switch (in alternativa ci si po

Upgraded K10 to 7.0.7.The catalog service fails with the following error:“Back-off restarting failed container schema-upgrade-check in pod catalog-svc-75ff7bb8cf-zpnhd_kasten-io(e1cd5a5c-32e1-4549-b4be-c0fd8ba68874)”Any ideas on what could cause this?Many thanks, -Mark

How large may a partition be on an iSCSI-connected Alletra4000 storage that is to be backed up using Veeam Storage integration?

I have a strange issue and have been trying to solve it for a few days now.  Fresh install of Veeam Backup 12 for the purpose of migrating a few dev/test VMs from one ESXi server to another.  The install went proper, I created a Ubuntu 24 server on each ESXi server and installed the backup proxy components via the GUI in VBR which registered them there.  Since this is more of a migration project, there isn’t a need for a separate backup repository.  When creating a quick migration job, everything goes well until the backup proxy selection.  The only Backup Proxy that is available is the VBR server and not the actual proxy servers themselves.  Since the migration job is having to use the VBR server as the proxy, the performance is horrid.  I have performed:-repair on VBR 12-reconfigured the proxy servers from VBR GUI (no errors)-proxy servers are on same VLAN as VBR server so no firewall challenges Any thoughts on what I have missed?  Thank you all

Hello, well, the fun never ends.I moved a VM named ‘user01-Virtual-Machine agent_vserver03’ from one folder to another folder on the same drive letter V:The vm itself runs fine, no issues.Now, the backup fails.I tried to search about the error and for 'HvGetVolumesByPaths', but foud nothing at all.Error: Failed to call RPC function 'HvGetVolumesByPaths': The file or directory is not a reparse point. Failed to retrieve reparse point data. I re-scaned the hyper-v server, ‘VSERVER03’ but nothing changed.Note: this is a homelab, i am willing to delete and re-do whatever.But, no idea what to try next. Maybe I should the following, but hoping there is a less drastic solution?export vm delete vm import vm in VBR, re-scan the standalone hyperv server re-create a backup job and backup copy job  

There are many Nutanix VMs in a backup job that are successful but any VM isn't.Please help to advise me. Thanks

Hello,A while ago I set up a immutable repository on a Ubuntu host 24.04. For that I created a separate partition with separate user login for client A.All worked fine over months. Yesterday on the same server I created a new partition with a new user login for client B. I could add the repository to VBR 12.0 on the client side. Today I see that for client B VBR cannot find the repository. Host discovery fails. “an unknown error occured while processing the certificate” I’m not sure what happened, but it has certainly something to do with adding a new repository for client B. First, is it generally possible to have several clients on the same Ubuntu server with separate partition and user logins? How can I fix it for client A without breaking for Client B? Thanks,Edy  

Anyone had experience of using Veritas 5250/5x50 appliances with Veeam? I believe the appliances can support SMB/NFS so as long as that is available then yes….if anyone has any thoughts or experiences please let me know.

I haven’t found an answer to this, so asking here.I was asked if we can change the retention on an existing backup to keep it longer than the original retention time.For example, we are running forward incrementals daily with a synthetic full every Saturday. The retention is set to 30 days. We are using Veeam 12.1 with immutable Linux repository.If someone comes to me and asks for us to keep last Wednesday’s backup for 90 days due to an ongoing project they have, can I retroactively change the retention on that backup to 90 days? (I understand that the prior Saturday-Wednesday files would/should also be retained to keep the chain intact).Thanks.

Hi guys,First, I’m not sure if I should be posting here or forums.veeam.com?  Either way, here’s my setup: Hyper-V host domain-joined to customer infrastructure, running Windows Server 2022, patched with July 2024 cumulative patches.  Security software includes S1, Threatlocker, and Huntress.  Threatlocker is in “learning” mode and is not blocking anything. Backup server is also running Windows Server 2022 patched with the latest July 2024 cumulative update.  Security software includes SentinelOne and Duo authentication to enable MFA for local user logins. Backup box is *not* domain joined at all.I’ve been told this is a UAC issue, but using a domain user bypasses this problem. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. No matter what I do, I can’t get the backup server to authenticate with the Hyper-V host using a domain account.  I can get it to authenticate, browse \\hypervip\ADMIN$ share, and connect with Veeam with the built-in, named Administrator account and I can get it to authenticat

Hallo zusammen,ganz kurze und einfache Frage. Ist die Replication eines Domain Controllers über Veeam B&R supportet?Hat hier jemand Erfahrungswerte auch bzgl. der Anzahl an Restore Points die man hier setzt? MfG
