Hey VEEA-ers, I finally got VEEAM installed and running and configured and I am starting to kick off jobs, but my speeds are slow (100mbps) or when writing I have a full 10gb backbone and a dedicated NIMBLE specifically for my VEEAM data and I have a physical server with 4x 10gb NICs on it (2 for management and 2 for data) any ideas as to why it could be slow? I am doing some troubleshooting, but was curious if anyone had any thoughts before I went down a rabbit hole thanks guys
Is there a way to take VMware snapshots instead of production data?
Hi,backup server is running 2x10Gbps NICs and it is in VLAN with Netapp iSCSI AFF device. I have also 1Gbps network card for management purpose. Also these two network cards are in trunk so they are doing 20Gbps now (at least I think they are doing it :-) )Integration between Netapp and Veeam is configured using management ports of the Netapp which is in different VLAN reachable by this 1Gb NIC from backup server. So, I can see snapshots on Netapp but backup is being done slow (probably using 1Gb NIC). How to force Veeam to use these 10Gbps NICs instead of 1Gbps NIC? Is there a KB for this integration to read how to setup this?Thank you.
Hi, I’m trying to back up a VM running on a standalone ESXi v8 host using Veeam B&R v12 Community edition. When I set the job up it ran successfully but all subsequent (scheduled) backups fail with “Failed to create processing task for VM Sophos Firewall Error: No proxy available”.If I edit the job without changing anything (just applying the same settings) it will run. Also, if I do the same with the VMWare Proxy object or the veeam server object (in Backup Infrastructure > Managed Servers) it will also run. In all cases it will only run the first time after applying the settings. Again, all subsequent runs fail.The veeam ‘server’ is an i3 8GB Windows 10 22H2 x64 PC. What looks to be the root cause is an entry in the job backup log that says:[ProxyDetector] VMware host API version is V800. Skipping not x64 proxies[ProxyDetector] VMware host API version is V800 and all available proxies are not x64 so we can not use it with such API versionI’m not sure what to do with this;
Hi Team,Got a VM running on a ESXi host. Need to add additional disk space to C: drive. However, couldn’t increase it any further using the VM properties under storage. The provisioned disk capacity is 230GB and the total disk utilization is closer to 230GB as well. The machine is thin provisioned. The connected SAN storage got free available space too. Just wondering the best option to add more disk capacity to C: drive please?Appreciate your feedback.kind regards,Andrew
Hi all. I am quite new to Veeam. I was trying to set my laptop up to be backed up daily and at one point I selected VM as an option. I did eventually get it set up as an Agent Backup, but now I get these emails below every day and I can’t find anywhere to delete or remove anything so I quit getting this message. Any help?[Failed] Backup Policy: Agent Backup ….. (1 VMs) 1 failed
Happy Thursday! I’ll try and post a little pop quiz question each day, hope to hear from many of you. Did you know the answer? Did you look it up in the documentation? Did you try it in a lab? Please share some details along with your answer.I need to restore some files from one of my virtual servers. I want to do it from my laptop and copy the files to the correct destinations using a local file management tool called Norton Commander What should I do to be able to locally see and copy the files from my laptop to the destination?
I am new to Veeam and would like to restore the backup to a new location. The wizard takes me through steps to restore. In the datastore menu does it automatically create the VM with the new name. This is production server just need to know more before proceeding. Is this the only wizard for restore or after completing this wizard there will be another wizard to be completed. Is the live server online when the server is restored?
Hello everybody,I would like to know scenario with retention policy in this way. I don’t want to have Forever Forward Incremental backup method because as I saw it’s not recommended by Veeam also, if we do it without GFS.I would like to create Full backups (synthetic) every week.So I’m just a little bit confused how restore points will be available.If I have configured 7 restore points but in GFS I have option to store Full Backups for 2 weeks, how it will end up looking?I’m more curios how increments are going to be removed.
Hi, I am testing with Veeam to find out if it suits our needs. My first backup job though already fails under the rescan. Running the guest credentials test gives me this error in the log:‘RPC client failed to call method [GetSvcVersion]’.I like to backup a Windows 11 VirtualBox VM. The Windows firewall is switched off on that machine. VirtualBox and Veeam B&R are running on the same machine. The VM is connected via bridged networking.The RPC services are running on the VM and the Veeam installer service on the Veeam B&R machine.Thanks for any help or hints.
I tried to add my certificate according to this page: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/hyperv/import_tls_pfx.html?ver=120Now VeeamBackupSvc service is not starting showing 1064 error and obviously I can’t use Console to create new self-signed certificate as a workaround. It’s B&R version 10a so I cannot Repair installation - there’s no such option in the installer.How can I fix this?

Good day,I have been enthusiastically using "Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows" for some time.Now I have the problem that when I have activated my new Premium VPN from https://hide.me "Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows FREE" unfortunately aborts with an error message when creating a backup!What exactly do I have to set or allow in the VPN app so that the backup still work with VPN enabled?My system data & backup-media:-Windows 11 Pro 23H2-Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 6.1.0.349 - Free Edition-Backup-medium: External 2.5-inch hard disk Many thanks for any helpful answers!
I had the Windows Stand Alone version installed on my Windows 10 PC. The external hard drive it was backing up to failed. I purchased a new external hard drive and had to reinstall the Veeam software. Now backups fail indicating an application error. There are no other details and no log files are being created. Any suggestions on getting backups up and running again would be appreciated.
I was able to install the Windows Agent to a Win10 desktop. Looks like Veeam backed up the files to the share folder I used for the job. I am trying to now restore this backup to a Hyper-V host. When I go into Restore using the Veeam Backup and Rep app, I don’t see a way to choose the machine or Agent backup? Any tips or suggestions would be super helpful. Thanks
Hello y’all! I’d like to know what software or tools you often use to project and draw your Veeam environments.Do you use MS Visio, LucidChart or something else?

I have a customer that needed to rebuild the Windows VM that was acting as their Proxy/Repository server at their secondary site. He is using all of the same IP information on the new server. The repository itself is on a NetApp E-Series access via iSCSI. Once the server is rebuilt, what is the process for getting it back into the B&R server. If the server is the same name, will the B&R server just need to push out the Veeam proxy/repository services to the rebuilt VM or will we need to delete and re-add the proxy and repository to Veeam? If we discovery the repository LUNs on the new VM via iSCSI will we need to re-scan the repository to discover the backups or will they just be there?If there is a process document for doing this it would be appreciated.
Hello, Thanks, I am not able to perform an instant restore of a linux VM.I am stuck that the helper appliance dialog box.I select a server from the list, but the OK button is disabled?Using VBR 12.1.0.2131I searched around the forum and internet, could not find the answerPlease advice, thanks, David
Hi everyone, I have problem with one of my servers who have MSQL and when the backup is finished i have this warning message “ Unable to truncate Microsoft SQL Server transaction logs. Details: Failed to process 'TruncateSQLLog' command. Failed to truncate SQL server transaction logs for instances: . See guest helper log.” I have search in official support and only find that the veeam account for backup must be MSQL administrator on that database, and to be local admin on that machine. I have make him database admin, but still i have this warning, and the hdd on that machine will be full soon. We have V11 Enterprise with support and so on, but because we are Public Enterprise we have bought this product from one Company in our Town. Can somebody give me some solution instruction step by step ?
Hello, I am new to using Veeam and in my small laboratory I am testing rotating disks :I have a retention policy of 21 and I have 3 disks (one per week) : If I understand correctly it would be 7 per disk The question is: if I use Forever Forward Incremental when the disk already has 7 points and I connect it again, will it merge the old incremental and save only full backup? Thanks

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
