Hi everyone,I am currently reviewing the design of our Veeam Backup & Replication server and would like to follow best practices for disk layout.At the moment our VBR server is a VM with the following specs: 8 vCPU 32 GB RAM Windows Server Local SQL instance Only one virtual disk (C:) which is a VHDX located on HDD storage Currently everything is located on this single disk, including: Veeam installation SQL database Veeam logs Veeam catalog configuration backup Windows OS I am considering adding an additional virtual disk located on SSD storage and moving the Veeam-related components there to improve performance and follow recommended architecture.My questions are: What is the recommended way to migrate components from the existing C: disk to the new disk without breaking the installation? Which components should ideally be moved to the new disk (SQL DB, catalog, logs, etc.)? Is it necessary to stop Veeam services during the migration? Are there any known p

Hi all. Running Windows Server 2019 as a standalone Hyper-V server. The server is in a workgroup.I have installed the community edition of VBR 12, and configured my backup repository.When trying to configure a new Hyper-V backup job, Veeam gives me a message to say that it cannot connect to the ADMIN$ share. However, if I type \\localhost\ADMIN$ into the run box, then the folder does open.I’ve tried setting my host name to localhost, to the server name and to it’s IP address. I’ve also tried with the current logged in credentials, and have tried by enabling the administrator account.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks, and have a great weekend!

Good day Running Veeam Community v12 with a VMWare environment. I am running a backup of 3 VMs. Since I installed Veeam I cannot do a backup copy of a job for one of my servers. The 2 other servers that I run a backup copy and send it in a remote location works but that server I always get this error: Processing [server name] Error: Times out waiting for NFS async IO block callback. Timeout: 180000 msec Failed to download disk 'filenameofserver-flat.vmdk'. Shared memory connection was closed. Failed to upload disk 'filenameofserver-flat.vmdk' Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}.Some restore points were not processed The local backup works but I cannot get the backup copy to workI created a different backup job for this server alone but I also get that error. The option I was thinking to do is to do a backup job just for this but i’d like to figure out why only that server on the same host as the 2 other servers is causing me this problem. Thanks for the help

Hello everyone,After upgrading Veeam Backup & Replication from version 12.3.2.4165 to 13.0.1.1071, we also upgraded Veeam Plug-In for Microsoft SQL Server using the ISO 13.0.1.1071, which installed Veeam Plug-In version 13.0.1.180.The upgrade process completed successfully without any visible errors.However, after the upgrade, SQL Server backups are no longer running successfully.All SQL backup jobs are now failing with the following error:Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server] Database is invalid or cannot be accessed Before the upgrade, backups were working correctly with no issues.Has anyone experienced a similar issue after upgrading to Veeam 13?Any suggestions on what to check would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone,I would like to get some advice regarding the optimal Veeam architecture for a two-site environment.Infrastructure Hyper-V environment Two locations: Vienna Novi Sad Sites connected with 1 Gbps IPSec tunnel Repository available in both locations Current components: Backup Server Hyper-V hosts acting as on-host proxies Repository Vienna Repository Novi Sad Current designRight now the backup jobs run like this:VMs from both locations → backup to Vienna repositoryThen we run Backup Copy jobs from:Vienna Repository → Novi Sad RepositoryThis means that VMs located in Novi Sad follow this path:Novi Sad VM → Vienna Repo → Backup Copy → Novi Sad RepoSo effectively the data crosses the WAN twice.ExampleVM located in Novi Sad: Backup goes NS → Vienna Backup Copy goes Vienna → NS ObservationDuring the first full backup we see relatively low throughput (~7 MB/s) and Veeam reports Network bottleneck.This is expected since the traffic goes through an IPSec tunne

Hello,I have to configure S3 Wasabi for the first time and I would like to be sure about the configuration.I will use it as backup copy repository with immutability.1) I create the bucket on Wasabi with versionning + object lock enabled2) I create a policy on Wasabi based on https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... positoriesI need the policy "Immutability Enabled and Helper Appliance Configured Beforehand" right ?How could I limit the policy only to the bucket "backupbucket" ? Because if I understand correctly, the policy in Veeam documentation has permission on all buckets.3) I create a new user and assign the policy4) I create the repository to veeam and set the desired immutability.I think I need some help on part 2 to be sure the user can only write to the "backupbucket".Thanks for your help

Hi,Do we need to open ports manually on every vm acting as backup proxy,gateway server,mount server vm for dell dd(backup repository) and vbr server when these vms are in vcenter added in vbr infrastruxture along with other vms who will be backed up.customer has fortinet firewall installed in their environment.they have to use dell dd for backup jobs and tape for archiving.

Hello,Using Veeam 365 community edition, backing up our Sharepoint site always end with warnings of: Processing site: https://**********.**** completed with warning: Failed to backup item version: /********/********/********/.****, version: 2.0, Download timeout exceeded (last error: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host..). All retry attempts failed. Re-run the backup job to proceed. Total count of failed items: 17The file it stops on changes each time and the number of files, still backs up most data but it is never fully successful. We have 20 backup applications, the backup is running and downloading data but it’s average processing rate is only around 500kbpsAnyone else seen this, what other logs to check in Veeam or Office 365 or a fix? Running version 8.3.0.2201 P20251212 

As we know VMCE will be retired and VMCA was retired, so anyone know what the new certication path now?

My SubscriptionsHi everyone, what is the difference between Veeam Data Platform and Veeam Data Platform Advanced?I plan to upgrade our VBR server to v12 from v11. It does have Veeam ONE on it. Orchestrator is on its own server. I assume I want the Veeam Backup & Replication ISO and Veeam ONE ISO. However, I’m wondering what am I missing out if I don’t get the “Advanced” ISO. Thanks!

Enterprise Manager Self-Service Portal - Server Error. I remember being able to fix this before but can’t remember the particulars. I had to go to IIS, I think application pools.   

Hello guys,Have the following error regarding SureBackup Jobs: Ping is being skipped:  Dedicated physical Hyper-V standalone server in use for only SureBackup tests.Production network is where the actual Hyper-V server is in (aka Production Network), and isolated network is newly created. Can’t find any much informations regarding those problems.

Hi all,I have recently built a new Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server (v8.3.0.2201 P20251212) and attached existing Azure Blob storage from a previous server which contains backup data I need to restore from.The issue is the Microsoft 365 tenant was previously named [OLD-TENANT-NAME].onmicrosoft.com and has since been renamed to [NEW-TENANT-NAME].onmicrosoft.com. Both entries share the same Office ID ([OFFICE-ID]) which is causing a duplicate conflict and preventing me from accessing the existing restore points.The error we are seeing is:A duplicate organization Office ID was found in the repository (Office ID: [OFFICE-ID])The old tenant no longer exists in Microsoft 365 as it was renamed. The backup data in the blob storage is tied to the old org entry and we need to remap it to the current tenant so we can perform restores.What we have already tried:Removed the old organisation entry from the Veeam console - did not resolve the conflict Removed and re-added the Azure Blob reposito

I would like to consult your suggestions and recommendations for my case. Please refer to the Veeam infrastructure diagram below. There are two Linux Hardened Repositories in the environment. The customer needs to upgrade the operating system from RHEL 9.7 to a supported version, as RHEL 9.7 will reach end of support soon. ConstraintsThe hardware for the Linux Hardened Repositories was purchased in 2023, and the customer intends to continue using it. The license subscription of RHEL will expire in December 2026. The customer is planning to upgrade to Veeam v13.

Hi Experts,I am facing an issue where the Veeam Management Agent is not connecting on Mac machines, showing a connection failure error.In the same network environment, Windows and Linux machines are connecting successfully without any issues. The problem occurs only with macOS devices.I have already checked the following: No firewall blocks are present Required ports 6180 and 443 are open No antivirus or security software blocking communication Other OS machines in the same network connect successfully However, Mac machines alone are unable to connectHas anyone encountered a similar issue or can suggest troubleshooting steps? Regards,Dhanapal

Buongiorno, ho aggiunto una risorsa file server come “unstructured data” al mio veeam versione 12.3.2, ho creato un file backup job che copia dei file (100 gb creati ogni giorno come export di DB) dal file server (il server è dove c’è installato veeam) ad una share remota e archivia gli stessi su un S3 ed ho impostato la retention a 3 giorni; nel verificare un restore in effetti ho la possibiltà di restorare, oltre al giorno della copia, i 3 giorni precedenti come da impostazione della retention; il mio problema è l’occupazione spazio su disco : nel verificare le proprietà della cartella di destinazione ho notato che ogni giorno viene incrementata dei Gb creati e non viene eseguita la pulizia dei vecchi retention days precedenti ai 3 giorni come impostato. Come posso eseguire una pulizia? E soprattutto è possibile impostare una pulizia automatica dei vecchi retention days?grazie.

Hello, I have a cluster on my Veeam v13 software appliance I’m looking to configure with CDP, however when i go to install the I/O filter the cluster doesn’t show up. What am I missing. I do have CDP configured on Veeam and another cluster is configured with it. Any ideas? 

I installed the Veeam 12.3.2.3617 on a virtual Windows Server 2025 and this has been a very bad experience.  I started to migrate the repository data to the new server, but it has become very unusable.  Now when I look up the issues on the web with Veeam, other people seem to have similar issues when using server 2025 with the repository on a ReFS file system.  At this point, everything is in limbo, meaning that the server randomly hangs when Veeam runs.  30% of the repository has been moved, but I can’t seem to do anything with the server.  Every time we try to access Veeam repository it just hangs.Does anyone have any suggestions other than scrapping the Veeam backup installation completely?thanksMatt

We have to diable Backup Jobs for Updates and reboots. There is a risk of letting the jobs diabled after reboot! It would be great to disable the Jobs in the GUI for some time only! With API calls we have to diable MFA for this account what can bring a security risk!  

Let me explain the customer environment first.Customer has 3 Dell Poweredge servers (will name them pe1, pe2, pe3) and 1 Dell Powervault server. Customer uses pe1 and pe2 and has deployed 2 windows machines on them with hyperv on them respectively, pe1 has hyperv1 and pe2 has hyperv2. Customer has taken the storage of these hypervs from the Del Powervault server so that they have a large size. Customer has deployed a windows server on pe3 where veeam has been installed and the backup repository is on that pe3. Now, we added the 2 hyperv on veeam by adding them as standalone hyperv, hyperv 1 has 6 windows VMs under it and hyperv2 has 5 windows VMs under it.One of the windows VMs is showing a used capacity of 50 GB. Now this windows machine is a file server, has 2 partitions, the C partition where the 50 GB is used , and another Partition, the D partition that has almost 3 TB of files on them.On Veeam i only see the 50 GB used. If i run a backup schedule in order to backup the VM, this m

Support recommended restarting the service to improve high memory usage caused by Veeam.Backup.CatalogDataService.exe.I would like to run PowerShell using Task Scheduler to periodically restart the service.To prevent job errors, I would like to output backup jobs and tape jobs when the running service is restarted, but I don't know how to do this.Get-VBRBackupSession | Where-Object {$_.Result -eq 'None'} seems to output running backup jobs, but I don't know how to output tape jobs.Please tell me the following:・ Is there a way to output appropriate running backup jobs other than those listed above?(Get-VBRBackupSession -Name $job does not work because it does not output when differences are being merged.)・ How can I output running tape jobs and GFS tape jobs?

Hi AllI’m currently assisting a client with a Veeam ONE deployment and they would like to send alarm notifications directly to Telegram in addition to the standard email alerts.Has anyone successfully implemented this type of integration? What method did you use? Was it done specifically with Veeam ONE or through Veeam Backup & Replication events? Has anyone tested or confirmed that it still works with Veeam 13? From what I have found it is possible, by default Veeam ONE natively supports email and SNMP notifications, with other integrations typically handled through scripts or external tools.I’m trying to confirm real-world experiences and any recommended approaches before implementing it for the client.Any guidance, scripts, or best-practice recommendations would be appreciated.

The error that I am getting is Outdated being agents, please upgrade or remove the following theme Agents from the production configuration. Shared-FS01 Veeam agent for windows 3.0.1.1039. And we got rid of that file share. But for some reason Veeam is still seeing it as a stale agent. I went back to the beam backup and replication console went to infrastructure physical. I found it an unmanaged, but it wouldn't allow me to delete it. So I tried creating a temp protection group. And the era I got was remote deployment and management is available for license agents only. Please change your backup service settings to allow manage agents to consume the license then perform a protection. Rescan. Then I went back to unmanaged and it disappeared.Sorry, I know to this whole Veeam thing. I have been tasked with it and I have very little experience with Veeam. Thanks.
