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

Ciao a tuttisto provando da giorni a collegarmi a CUBBIT s3 storage ma ricevo sempre un errore:Failed to load s3 configuration. Failed to Estabilish connection to Amazonw3Compatibilequando cerca di sfogliare i bucket.Come dati sto utilizzando :https://s3.cubbit.euma ho provato anche  https://myhost.cubbit.eu:eu-west-1Ho creato le API KEY dentro l'utente.  Ho creato la Policy che è assegnata all'utente.Credo che ci sia (forse) qualcosa da impostare nella Bucket Policy ?Purtroppo tutte le guide che parlano di VEEAM sembra che con Id e Secret "risolvono al volo" ma io non riesco ad accedere. Ho letto tutte le guide possibili, ma sicuramente mi manca qualcosa di permessi o ACL da assegnare da qualche parte.Più che altro non capisco come si assegnano al Bucket le Api Key create (sia quella generale, sia quella dell’utente).Anche software come S3Browser non riescono ad accedere.Qualcuno ci ha mai provato?

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 

Running Veeam agent for Linux, v. 6.3.2.1207_x86_64. OS is Mint MATE 22.  Been making weekly backups for a year or more, just now trying a test recovery on spare computer- loaded some files, ran b/u to ext. drive, deleted files.  Have Recovery Media on stick, using steps in user guide.  All good thru several menus until “Mount Local Disc” which brings up a menu “Select Local Disc” but there are no items from which to select.  Backup drive lights up, so recognized by system.  What am I missing?  

It would be great to have access to an API for the Veeam calculator to generate estimated requirements for given workloads.I recently posted this on a different group: Veeam Calculator API | Veeam Community Resource HubI was informed there is an API available but it isn’t public documented. Do you have any information about this that I can use to run some queries against the endpoint?

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.   

Hi teamCan someone shed some light on this and how best to go about it.We have Nutanix cluster A and Nutanix cluster B.VM have been moved from cluster A with Nutanix Move, which creates a new VM on cluster B and syncs data. My guess is that it creates a new UUIDThere is an existing backup to a Wasabi Repo from cluster A.How can I re-create/re-point the backups that are on the repo so that the copied VM on cluster B can continue to use the backups already there?I am not so sure if there is a remap function for this. I also cannot add vm from the new cluster to the existing job as it only allows me to select existing one. It appears that you select cluster first when creating the job.My guess is I may have to create a new job and let old one age out?

What is this type of issue ? Anyone, please explain.   

I have company policy to not use port 80 and i can see Veeam GatewayAPI was listen on port 80.Can we change this port?  

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.

Hi,We used to use VM File Exclusion on Windows VM where DFS is used because the replicated VM is in branch office and backup storage capacity is less than Main office.Since this winter (we update Veeam to V13 to support Proxmox 9), I can’t exclude directory on “application aware processing settings”. I can see on the list Exclusions is disabled, but when i edit VM settings, the exclusion tab is missing.  I hope you can help me.RegardsBenjamin

Hi All,  Has anyone seen hotadd Linux (Rocky 9.7) VM proxies go sideways and not mount after upgrading to v13? I also added a new v13 appliance proxy and the result were the same. Changing transports to net work fine. On this client side logging it shows: Error: Access to [/dev/sdb] is denied.Failed to check whether access to path is grantedFailed to open disk for write.Failed to download disk 'snapshot-909174XXXX'. CC tenant job logging has: <842>    Info (3)    Skipping VcdDatastore (VcdRef=[urn:vcloud:datastore:GUIDXXXXXX], Name=[*CLIENT_DS*]) because it does not have valid underlying vCenter resources VCSA 8.3VCD 10.4xVBR 13Rocky 9.7 latest Kernel.  We have a Sev1 open but its currently pending logging reviews.  

hi, im using VBR 12.3 deploy on GCE on GCP, I have succesfully backup and storing on GCS and i want to restore into GCE, and finnally failed, i consider VBR using Cloud Build to atomate restoring. the same log from VBR log and Cloud Build History. I think GCP not using GC, now using Artifact Registry, and i checked the image import link, its totally empty. any suggest in this case? the same case i using VBR 13. 

We are experiencing an issue with Veeam Agent for Windows. During restore (source Azure Blob), only 100 MB/s is consistently written to the disk, but the network throughput fluctuates. It appears to me that a limitation is in effect. I rule out a limitation in our infrastructure. What could be the cause?

In the current Veeam Backup & Replication V13, a daily software updates summary is sent automatically.According to support, this can only be disabled as an “AI-powered summary” in “Veeam Intelligence Advanced mode.”Can this be disabled in all editions, please?

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

Sorry to rant, but I have nowhere else to turn, and it's beginning to impact our clients. Veeam 13 has been absolutely horrible to install on all our backup servers. The upgrades are breaking the installs on current backup servers. It is straight up failing to install and start the Veeam service on a brand new server, and Veeam support has been unable to figure it out for two weeks. I've put escalation requests in and I'm getting nowhere. has anybody seen behaviour like this? The people on the Veeam subreddit agree that Veeam 13 has been horrible to roll out.

Buongiorno, atteso che NON ci riesco, vorrei il vostro aiuto per poter creare dei Job di Backup per delle VM in vSphere, con retention 30 gg e faccia quanto segue:Un full al primo gg di Backup; incrementale per i successivi 14 gg; un full il 15 gg; di nuovo incrementale per i successivi 14 gg; ed un full il 30 giorno.Il server è alla versione 13.0.1.1071 ed il repository è un Object Storage S3 compatibile con immutabilità attiva.Grazie.

(running Veeam 13, Community/Free edition on Win 11).I did a bunch of migrations and updates a month ago. Before doing so I set aside the existing Veeam backups, so I have them. When I try to import a backup for one server from it (just to browse and retrieve a couple files) it tells me "Path contains invalid symbols...",. But it doesn’t. I have a path with no special characters or trailing spaces or anything like that. The message isn’t any more specific.I’ve tried mounting the file share where it exists as a mapped drive and a network location. I would copy it into the local machine to try that, but there isn’t room.Also, the import dialog says “Specify a backup to import. You can import backups from a backup repository or any managed server.” but the dropdown menu only lists the local machine and my two hyper-V hosts, not the repository (which is on a network share).Thanks.

Hi allI was wondering if it is possible to create a backup job of a VM, without having access to the VM Host Server. I have installed Backup & Replication on the VM client itself, connected a backup repository, but when I try to create a backup job, it asks for the IP and admin credentials of the VM Host. Thanks for your help

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

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.

Hey guys,I am facing the following problem: a client wishes to change services for copying their backup data. They currently use Azure Blob. They are considering several other services including Wasabi. They would like to recover their annual archives if possible.I know that through Veeam we can use the Move function to move backups, but we have more than 10 TB of data and I'm afraid it will take an enormous amount of time without guaranteeing data integrity. Currently, they don't have immutability enabled on their Azure bucket and wish to activate it on their next bucket.Is it possible to copy only archives without copying everything?
