I’m using B&R 12.1.1 and having the following error with a single Server 2016 VM backup.Failed to index guest file system. VSSControl: Index failedI’ve checked that all discs have plenty space but not sure where to look for more information.Any suggestions welcomed. 

what is the correct permission to give backup repository:Ubuntu document its mention chmod 700 and in the redhat its 2775, which one is correct permission, kindly suggest. Appreciate if i get preparation process steps for redhat linux 8.x version for veeam 12.1  

hi Veeam CommunityI have a backup server that uses the drives in the backup server as a repository, and the backup server works as a workgroup. I want the permissions on these drives to be only for the veeam service.I want to do this for more security.My question is whether such an idea is good?If it is good, what permissions should I give to these drives?

HPE m'a livré la cartouche LTO sans code-barres, et Veeam Backup & Replication indique dans la documentation que c'est obligatoire. Alors, comment dois-je procéder ? Dois-je retourner chez HPE pour demander un code-barres, ou existe-t-il une autre solution?

Is it possible to make the traffic from Veeam Agents go directly to Wasabi instead of going through our VSPC/VCC server? This will create a lot of network traffic and engress cost for us in Azure. In the manuals it says we should create cloud connect repository (with f.ex) wasabi. Was hoping that even this sets the Cloud Connect Repository in Veeam Agents, it would understand it was an object storge and route the backuptraffic directly to Wasabi itself.

Hi there,I recently created a new email address and I’m in the process of switching all accounts to this new email address. On the Veeam website, it is, unfortunately, not possible to change the email address, but I had to create a new account instead. It wasn’t a big tragedy because it is (was) my private email address anyway.I just wanted to register here on the Veeam Community again with that new email address (because it’s using the same account as on the Veeam website). But registering a new account wasn’t possible because my username was already taken (sure, because I took it back in the days).I also can’t change the username on my “old” Community profile.Can someone assist me in either changing the username on the “old” profile or deleting the “old” profile?Many thanks!Best regards,KarlvExpert, former Veeam VanguardOld email: webmaster@kawi.chNew email: karl@widmers.me 

We have begun our 30-day trial, going very well. Except we have no servers (all in the cloud) and need to assign an IP address to a Windows 11 PC which will serve as our Backup PC.Would like to hear from others who have been through this - how did you make that backup server addressable to create a restore portal? Can we somehow use one of our spare domains from Microsoft 365? We’ve been wracking our brains with little to no technical support and I think the question is best addressed in a group such as this. Any ideas?

I cannot find it. It may be very old or a ghost one.  What is the easy way to figure out the “in using an object” from the VBR Management console or PowerShell? Or is there any way to force delete the credentils? 

Hi every body,Please i need help to add hyper-v2019 on veeam B&R11 installed in windows server 2016 standard virtual machine. When i add the host hyper-v2019 i have the error bellow :“Failed to connect to host Access denied or timeout expired.Check if you have local administrator privileges on computer .Possible reasons:Invalid credentials.Specified host is not a Hyper-V server.

Hi, I have not been inside Veeam for a while. I am getting errors as in the snapshot below:I understand it is complaining about storage space for backups but I am trying to zero in on what to attack first here. The one that interests me is “Unable to apply retention policy: failed to delete backup files error…...is locked by running session xxx-xxx [Instant recovery]. Is Veeam just too busy to start the backup because it could not apply retention policy? Not sure which item to investigate first...ar

By now i’m using “Veeam Backup & Rep” in the free community edition - for testing some things an maybe buying a commercial license in future. The problem is, that “File Copy Jobs” (not Backup Copy) are very very slow.For Example i have to Copy an ammount of single (168.000) files with about 180 GB together to a local target disk. If i use the integrated windows copy feature these Files are copied within about 4 or 5 hours. The FILE COPY Job from Veeam runs for 25 HOURS (by now) and shows a state of 32% ready. What could be the issue for this long duration? The source and target are the same. thanks in advanceG.Huber

HelloHow to protect AHV VM with vTPM enabled?

ciao, stavo dimensionando una “tailored made Veeam appliance”… sì insomma una macchina con dei dischi dentro che faccia sia da server che da repository  😂 Tempo addietro ne feci un paio usando dischi NL-SATA da 8TB: praticamente sono meccaniche SATA (7200 giri) con interfacce SAS.Oggi vedo che il sito di un produttore (Dell) mi offre alcune possibilità che sembrano nuove, ma forse è solo un problema di nomenclatura. In particolare alcuni esempi8TB Hard Drive SAS ISE 12Gbps 7.2K 512e 3.5in  12TB Hard Drive SAS 12Gbps 7.2K 512e 3.5in Hot-Plug a salire fino ai 22 TB. Avrei detto che siano dei NL-SATA visto che girano a 7000, però i NL-SATA sono elencati dopo. Secondo ChatGPT la scritta ISE significa che è un disco allo stato solido, ma direi proprio che si sbagli. Che ne dite? Approfitto: avete dei riscontri recenti sull’uso di queste meccaniche come Repo Veeam (su un sistema windows quindi ReFS, questa sarebbe la mia intenzione)

Hi, I vaguely recall seeing an option where a backup job is automatically started when a USB drive containing a backup repository is plugged into the server.  I can’t seem to find it again…was I dreaming?Thanks, Hammer

hi veeam ommunityGuidelines for responding to ransomware. Does anyone have instructions on what to do if, for example, one of the servers is infected with ransomware? I mean the actions related to veeam backup. I want to write an instruction and I want to use the experience of you experts. 

We relocated one of our VMs to another backup job and noticed that the job completion status information for the VM is “Resetting CBT per job settings for active fulls”. Our backup jobs are configured with incremental backups and one synthetic full backup per week.  I am curious if we move one of the VMs to another backup job, does Veeam automatically perform an active full on it? Thanks Pete  

I want to do disaster recovery testingIs it enough to create sure backup and virtual lab?Is there a good video tutorial for this?And after that, I want to document this test, and my question is, is there a standard Template (ms word or...)for this  that I can enter the data into, or has someone already done this and can provide me with its template?info:Veeam backup 12.1 and Enterprise manager 12.1 Both are installed on the same server

Running Veeam v12 and currently backing up for 14 days to a local HPE storeonce.I want to also put a longer term copy into an AWS S3 bucket for about 1 year. Probably once a month.The best option I think is to perform a backup copy, not via a SOBR.If via copy is there a compatibility issue creating a copy job from storeonce catalyst repos to S3 repos? thoughts?

So we are deploying Veeam for ourselves and I have been fighting with it for a few days.  Our setup is: Veeam server - Non-Domain joinedVeeam Proxy - Linux with XFS volume attached via RDM in VMwareA scale out Repo setup that is backed by the xfs volume from the Linux machineOur primary Altera arrays are also added into Veeam under the storage Infrastructure and i am able to browse the snapshots on them and perform restores. Both servers are located in the same site/network.  The storage is coming from a LUN on an Altera Hybrid array that is presented to both hosts in the esxi cluster.We have a mix of domain joined, non-domain joined windows machines along with some random Linux boxes.  I just have a simple nightly backup job created that has all of our servers included in it.  I have selected the Linux proxy for the backup proxy in the job which then pulls in the Scale-out Backup Repo.  In the advanced settings everything is default with the exception of changing the compression level

Hallo zusammen,heute erhielt ich vom VBS per Mail eine Meldung “Potential malware activity detected (1 malware events)”, die einen Status “suspicious” vermeldet. Allerdings beinhaltet die Mail keinen brauchbaren Hinweise außer, dass ein bestimmter gesicherter Server die Quelle des Problems sein soll.Die Untersuchung der entsprechenden Meldung in der VEEAM-Konsole (Home > History > Malware Events) bleibt auch jeden Hinweis schuldig. Ein Doppelklick auf das Event zeigt weder die betroffene Datei an, noch wird ein Hinweis auf ein Protokoll oder ein log-Datei gegeben.Laut Referenz soll sich das Protokoll im Pfad [%ProgramData%\Veeam\Backup\Malware_Detection_Logs\suspicious_...log] befinden. Der Ordner Malware_Detection_Logs existiert bei mir nicht. Eine Suche nach Ordnern oder Dateien mit dem Suchbegriff *suspicious* ergab überhaupt nichts.Der Befehl [Scan Backup] für den betreffenden Backup-Satz ergab auch keinen Fund. Ein Scan auf der entsprechenden VM fand ebenfalls nichts.Kann es

Hello,I have an environment where I have a domain controller, a domain joined server with a sql server installed. I want to install veeam backup & replication on another server 2022. Do I need to join the veeam server to the domain?Best regards

Hello,Getting the following error when trying to run SureBackup in Veeam which is on a windows server 2019.“Error: VM was created with the later version of Hyper-V than the one installed on host.”The VM’s are configured with version 10 and they are on server 2022. Server 2019 supports only until configuration 9.0.Is there any way to run the surebackup for VM’s with configuration version 10.0 on this host? Thank you.

Hello. Backups failing with message cannot take snapshot on physical server with CentOS Stream 8 and CentOS Stream 9. Please help me fix this. 

Hello to all Backup solutions architects 😀, I will need advice in configuration of our Backups so that I can achieve as close as possible to the 3-2-1-1-0 rule.Our Current Backup Infrastructure is as follow:1 x Synology RS3621xs+ in Vienna, Austria.1 x Synology RS3621xs+ in Novi Sad, Serbia.1 x Synology DiskStation DS1019+ in Novi Sad, Serbia.I wanted to implement Wasabi to our Infrastructure but didn’t get the green light, it is not approved. Current Backups are setup in the following:1. All our critical infrastructure is being backed up to the NAS in Vienna with this configuration:I had an topic where we discussed about not needing Synthetic Full Backups periodically and Active Full Backups both enabled for the job. Need more opinions on this since I’m not professional in Veeam.Current Configuration is set up like this:  I created a Backup Copy Jobs on “Immediate Copy (mirroring) using the two WAN Accelerators. 1 is for our largest VM and 2 is used for other smaller size VM’s all to

I have customer with two veeam servers and we want to de-mote one to just be a proxy. As we transition, could the 2nd veeam server also be a proxy for the main veeam server while we test all backups from the main server. Once all looks good then we can uninstall B&R and just run that host purely as a proxy.thoughts?
