I am upgrading my Home Lab to new hardware.  Re: I can’t get the register email for mike.mckenney@scsiraidguru.comVeeam Server:  I upgraded the Veeam Server to Windows 10 22H2 from Windows 7.  I can’t install Windows 11 on this box.  I had to remove one of my three tape drives (SCSI) to go to 10.  I have two SAS tape drives.  Veeam is on 11A.   Veeam is working on all boxes except my HP Z480 below.HP Z840 Workstation:  I installed Windows 2022 Standard Server with Hyper-V.  It is in my workgroup, workgroup.  It is in the same network and subnet as my Veeam Server, Windows 11 workstaion and all VMs.  Windows Firewall is turned off.  It was on Windows 10.   Hyper-V is working.  I have 6 Minecraft Servers for our children and family to play on.   They are 8 and 10.   All Ubuntu 24.04 VMs.   Java, Bedrock and Folia.  They love to play with mods and plugins.   I can’t get to the Community Downloads for v12GA and latest v12.   I never get to email from Veeam to register mike.mckenney@scsirai

My home lab: Veeam 11 server is on Windows 10.  I have 6 Ubuntu VMs on my HP Z840 workstation with Windows 2022 Standard Hyper-V.    How do I backup each VM separate so I can recover them.   Both are in a workgroup.    Veeam won’t recognize the 2022 Standard as a Hyper-V server.   Veeam 11 can see it as a 2022 Standard Server.   Do I need to install a Hyper-V agent or Windows Server agent on this box?     

Lyrical IntroductionI can't believe my eyes. A product as powerful as Veeam Backup & Replication can't do simple things? Or maybe there are problems with my instance specifically? Or am I just a dumb instance?What I have.2 companies and 1 Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3.0.4165 serverWe run 70 backup jobs for these companies, without any overlapping time.1. Company 1 – 30 VMware VMs (1 job = 1 VM) – timeframe 12. Company 2 – 40 Proxmox VMs (1 job = 1 VM) – timeframe 2We also run Health Check jobs, timeframes 3 and 4, also without any overlapping time.What do I need?At a minimum, I want toreceive two emails, one containing a summary report of all backup jobs for the day, and the other containing a summary report of all health checks.MaximumI want to receive 5 emails1. 1 summary report on completed Company1 backup jobs to 2 email addresses – company1user@domain.net and admin@domain.net2. 1 summary report on completed Company2 backup jobs to 2 email addresses – company2user@domain.

I am looking for Veeam powershell script to list jobname, server, status and last run for last 24 hours . this should include backup and copy jobs. Kindly assist.

windows agent backup fails after server upgraded from 2012 to 2016 In protection group shows the server name by both OS versions :  2012 OS ( last seen 5 days ) and 2016 OS - ( Last seen - Online ), however the rescan option gives the error :Failed to connect server:11731The veeam agent is in running state and is restarted, still no luck  

Some of Hyper-V VM have Veeam recovery Checkpoint. The backup job is running successfull every day but why seem veeam not delete this checkpoint? I tried to remove this but there no option to delete this checkpoint.   

The veeam backup version is patched to 13.0.1.2067 after that few proxy servers are not getting updated. Failed to upgrade host components. Error: 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. Failed to invoke rpc command  (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) (Failed to invoke rpc command)' (0:00:10) 

Hi everyone, We plan to integrate Veeam Backup and Replication with our SIEM as part of our security hardening. I would like guidance on the best way to forward Veeam logs and events to a SIEM platform. Looking for advice on supported methods, required settings, and any best practices or limitations.

What could be the issue? Failed to send certificate, but certificate is required for remote agent management Error:

Hi Community,Has anyone successfully reverted Veeam ONE from version 13 to version 12? Are there recommended steps or considerations to avoid issues during the downgrade? Any official guidance or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to disabled Web UI, without disabling Host Management UI? Our goal was to disable web ui because we’re not able to install a proper custom cert on it. So it would present an issue during our annual pen test

Hi All, I install veeam 13 appliance, and connect to it with Veeam Backup & Replication Console installled on windows, I can find backup job log on veeam 13 appliance (var/log/), but if my backup job created from windows console, I can’t find log , I check %ProgramData%\Veeam\Backup , but not find backup job log by job name, Backup jobs aren't synchronized between the web interface and the console, right?So where can I find the log files for backup jobs generated by the console?Thanks.

If we use forward forever incremental backup on the tape, can we disable the full backup schedule? 

Hello, I currently have an R740 with a NetApp E Series directly attached and am looking to use it as a hardened repo (rocky os). I am concerned that the 740 is near end of life, so wondering how difficult and what would the steps be if I was to replace the server with a new one in a year or two down the line? 

HiI am planning to deploy Veeam Backup & Replication v13 using the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance with a Hardened Repository configuration.My question is about capacity expansion during production operation.If the backup storage becomes insufficient after the appliance has been deployed and is already in use,is it a supported operation to add an additional virtual disk to the appliance VM and expand the backup storage capacity (for example, extending the repository storage)?Specifically, I would like to understand:Whether adding a new virtual disk to the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance VM is officially supportedWhether this applies to a Hardened Repository configurationIf there are any restrictions, best practices, or unsupported scenarios we should be aware ofThe goal is to increase backup capacity without redeploying the appliance.If there is any official documentation or guidance from Veeam regarding this scenario, I would appreciate it.Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi all, Sorry if this has been covered, I couldn’t find it in the search. I have a HyperV host and I want to use VAW to backup the D drive containing the HyperV VM files.  I have 2 USB disks I plan to rotate.  I’ve read the guides and I have registered both the USB disks as storage devices.  Last night it failed and I am suspecting it was due to the drive letter not being assigned when it got reconnected.  In theory, am I OK to simply leave one disk plugged in and VAW will do the backup to that disk, if there is a drive letter assigned?   Thanks.  

Every time I try to open a case in my Veeam portal, I get a permission error that I can’t:Which is odd as I am the admin for our license, and I can’t raise a ticket to say I can’t raise a ticket as it always goes back to this error. Can’t use phone support as you need a case number from raising a case. Could someone from Veeam help sort this out? RegadsDamien

Hello everyone,I am currently configuring Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 (VBM365) for our company, and I have a question about the disk cache to optimise performance.According to the documentation, the standard installation does not allow the cache to be stored on another drive on the VBM365 server (it is located by default in the local PostgreSQL database on the C drive or on a dedicated PostgreSQL server). However, I would like to avoid deploying an additional PostgreSQL server for simplicity and maintenance reasons. My question:Does anybody use a dedicated cache disk on the VBM365 server? If so, how did you configure it (custom path, script, etc.)? Have you encountered any limitations or performance issues? I would appreciate your feedback or alternative solutions (without external PostgreSQL).Thank you in advance for your advice!Morgan

Guten Morgen, wir wurden heute darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass in einem Ordner auf dem Fileserver 2 wichtige Dateien fehlen. Als wir nun in die Backups geschaut haben, sind diese auch dort nicht mehr vorhanden. Was kann das bedeuten, bzw. wie finden wir raus ob wir einen ungebetenen Gast in unserem System/backup haben, der dies gelöscht hat? Liebe Grüße und Danke für die Hilfe. Wir nutzen Veeam in der neusten Version.

Hello everyone,We are a cloud backup provider and I would like to clarify some doubts before migrating to version 13.We currently use version 12 in the latest available build and will soon migrate to version 13, however my question is:After the update, is it possible to restore the settings in the VSA?And will all Cloud Connect configurations be done in the VSA or in the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance?

How can I import information from a Nutanix platform into the Veeam calculator (https://www.veeam.com/calculators), given that the platform is only compatible with RVTools?I am working on a Nutanix AHV environment with around 660 virtual machines, and I need to perform a proper sizing for my infrastructure.  The Nutanix Collector XLSX file is not compatible with the RVTools format required.  

I was deploying Veeam Backup & Replication v13 in my lab and reviewing the Security & Compliance Analyzer when I noticed a new requirement that I hadn’t seen before: “Credential Guard should be enabled.” I also checked Product KB 4252, but this setting is referenced there but can’t enable it.Can anyone clarify where “Credential Guard” can be enabled for VBR, and whether there is any official documentation from Veeam that covers this requirement?  

I have a single VBR server, using a Data Domain as a repo, and it’s running on VMware. We are migrating from VMware to Nutanix AHV. We’ve already migrated a couple hundred VMs already, and now I’m getting down to needing to move the Veeam server.Doing the migration results in some downtime - the migration process requires that new NIC drivers, etc be installed on the VM. I can easily set the services to manual for that duration, and then restart them when it’s done. BUT … is that the best way to do this? I considered installing a new VBR server natively on Nutanix, and then (somehow) migrating all jobs, etc to it. But the problem is, I only have 1 repo, and I know that multiple VR servers shouldn’t share the same repo. Don’t wanna risk corrupting anything.Has anyone else done this? (migrate a VBR server from one hypervisor to another) If so, what did you do? What should I look out for. Any advice appreciated.

Hello,I noticed something very peculiar. We use the Infrastructure Appliance v13.0.1.1071 for VMware Proxies and hardened repositories. The Backup Server is a Windows box running same version.Every night, we get an eMail saying that check for updates was successful for the Windows Backupserver but failed for all the appliances.When we enable the WebGUI on the appliances and login to their WebGUI’s on port 10433, we go to “Updates” which will say that the last check failed. But when we click on “Check for updates” it works fine. Updates are found, downloaded and installed. All good.So what’s the difference between the automatic daily checks and clicking on “check for updates” on each appliance? We never see the firewall dropping outbound traffic from the appliances around the time the automated daily update checks are done. And the Veeam backup Server (Windows) is the only one, every day, which has no problems checking for updates.The fact that manual checks and patch installs work fine

Hi all,I am currently encountering an issue when backing up a very large NAS.Each file share is over 100 TB, and there are more than 3 backup jobs. The backup process has been running for 140 hours and is still only around 10-15% complete.We are currently backing up from a Nutanix file share and using the “Backup directly from file share” method in Veeam. I have split the proxy into two. The first proxy uses the VBR server itself, and the second proxy uses a VM from Nutanix.Is there another way to make the file share backup process faster? Or has anyone else experienced something similar? Because at this point, the backup process will not meet the RPO.
