Hi, This is a last resort post of sort as I can’t find any information on what is the expected scenario.On Solaris, our plugins were recently upgraded and pkginfo shows below with Version - 12.3.2.4165 $: pkginfo -l VeeamPluginforOracleRMAN PKGINST: VeeamPluginforOracleRMAN NAME: Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN CATEGORY: application,system ARCH: SPARC VERSION: 12.3.2.4165 BASEDIR: /opt VENDOR: Veeam Software Group GmbH PSTAMP: 501cb4f0240920251001193914 INSTDATE: Dec 04 2025 14:01 STATUS: completely installed FILES: 8 installed pathnames 2 directories 5 executables 190948 blocks used (approx) In the RMAN log, it shows comment=API Version 2.0,MMS Version 12.3.0.54 Question is should the RMAN log be showing 12.3.2.4165 as well or it doesn’t matter or did we mess up somewhere during the upgrade and it is actually a failed upgrade regardless of pkginfo information? Checking /opt/veeam/VeeamPlugin

Hello guys,I’m planning to do the upgrade to v13.Is there any recommended way of doing it, documentation that I can follow?Thank you in advance.

Hi teamPlease excuse my ignorance as I have not done this before and would like your advise.Current VEEAM implementation has AHV proxy configured to back up the environment.A new AHV clusters will be added. My initial uneducated thought assumed to re-use the existing proxy but I think that is actually not possible now. It seems the proxy configuration cannot be altered so I think it leaves me with no choice to create new one. No biggie.Also, I noticed that there is an embedded worker for the cluster configured in the proxy.In general, Would you suggest adding more workers to the new cluster? There are 3 nodesCheers

I hope you can help me with the following problem. When I perform a sure backup (Backup verification mode: Backup content verification  and content scan only), I get the following message in the log: Error: Failed to call RPC function 'FcCheckFilesystemIsAccessible': The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drives are loaded and that the volume is still corrupted. The email notification I receive indicates that the verification was successful. My question is why I'm getting this warning and how can I resolve it? Here are some specifications of our server: Veeam Backup & Replication Build 12.3.2.4156 Backup server runs on a Hyper-v  Hyper-v: Windows Server 2025 24H2 Build 26100.7171Bare metal: Windows Server 2022 21H2 Build 20348.4405 Hopefully you can help me with this. Best regards,  Jordy

In MS SQL Plugin, is there any option to define the retention Policy for Log Backup 

I’m unable to run any backups on Veeam Agent for Windows (6.3.1.1074, free edition). While my setup was working previously, I now get the error “Failed to create VSS snapshot” when attempting to run a backup.My destination is an SMB share on a local Debian host. Other devices on my network (In identical configurations, “Entire Computer” and encrypted backups) are able to back up to that share successfully, it’s just this one machine that’s failing.I’ve tried the usual suspects: Restarting the machine, removing/re-adding the backup job. I also tried the steps outlined in this post:Opened an Command Prompt (Run as Administrator)Ran the following commands:net stop vss net start vssYou can also restart these services in services.msc:Volume Shadow Copy Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider Without success. The log from my backup attempt is:6/4/2025 09:14:13 :: Initializing 6/4/2025 09:14:20 :: Preparing for backup 6/4/2025 09:14:26 :: Backup file will be encrypted 6/4/2025 09:15:07 :: Fai

Hi,I’m trying to configure HA on my Veeam Backup Server. Has anyone seen this or ran into a similar issue? I can ping both servers from IP and FQDN. Both have DNS entries. I ran through the pre-requisites of allowing HA to be configured from the Host Management, Now, I’m at a loss ..any ideas?  

Hi there,I’m currently in an greenfield V13.0.1 deployment, based on the Appliance.After enabling Remote Access in the Host Management Console of the VBR system - it’s mentioned, that this will be enabled after Security Officers approval and for 8 hours… We did this yesterday. This morning, 12-14 hours later, it was still enabled.  Unfortunately I didn't checked, if it’s only a visible bug or if the service / or Port 22 is really still open. I will check this tomorrow and give another feedback. If this is the case, I will open a support ticket for it.Have anyone seen the same behaviour? Thanks and best, Markus

We are facing an issue with VBR where the application is down and cannot connect to the backup server. The error message shown is: “No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1. Make sure the backup server you are connecting with is 12.3.2 version.” Has anyone encountered this issue before? What steps or permanent solution can resolve this? Any guidance would be appreciated.    

When is the deadline for scheduling my Veeam VMCE exam?I understand that I can take the exam until the 31st, but I have a problem. I hope you can make an exception. Let me explain.There are brand ATCs that have their schedules already set (even before the announcement of the end of certification) with some courses scheduled for December 15. In order to schedule my exam, I need to have taken the course. But if I can't schedule the exam after December 1 and I've already signed up for an ATC class on December 15, I won't be able to take the course.They could lift either:the restriction on taking the course to schedule the exam, Or the December 1 deadline for scheduling the exam, considering that some ATCs already had their schedules set and customers already had appointments. 

hello Hi, can you help me please? I have a problem with a SureBackup job in Veeam version 12.3.2.4165. When creating a script, I entered an invalid character, and Veeam let it through, but I can't delete, modify, or disable the job. I've already entered several scripts via PowerShell, but it won't delete the job. Any ideas on how I can delete it?

Hello.I tried to uninstall 6.3.2.1205 on Windows Server 2019. Control panel / Uninstall programs... Uninstallation reported that there are more users logged in. I clicked cancel uninstallation. Veeam disappeared from list of installed Programs. When I tried to install 6.3.2.1302 the error pops up »The installation cannot be updated automatically. Please contact Veeam support for assistance with manual update. «I did several reboots. I removed Veeam folders from Program Files and ProgramData, I removed Veeam key from registry (Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam). Still “cannot be updated…”How can I convince Veeam Agent installer that I do not want to update. I just want to freshly install or repair installation.Regards, Tomaž

Hi,we have a customer with a VBR 12.3 and an Openshift 4.18 cluster.The goal is to install Kasten through Openshift Operator and integrate it with VBR, using active directory authentication for Kasten dashboard access.Note: Openshift is already using AD auth.Reading the official Kasten documentation, I've found the AD auth section: https://docs.kasten.io/latest/access/au ... e_dir_authNow, I'm a little bit confused: do I have to setup Kasten with AD auth, or I can use Openshift auth since it is already integrated with AD? ThanksMarco S.

Hello Community,I encountered the following error while performing a restore operation: 8:26:00 PM Error: bad allocation Failed to upload disk. Skipped arguments: [EmulatedDiskSpec]; Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk} What I’ve tried so far:Verified network connectivity between components. Checked available storage space on the target. Restarted the Veeam Backup service.Despite these steps, the error persists. Has anyone faced this issue before? What could be causing the bad allocation error during disk upload, and how can I fix it? Any insights, troubleshooting steps, or best practices would be greatly appreciated.   

Hi,My backup job, for instance, XYZ fails with these messages:   Question: What could cause snapshot creation to fail in Veeam Backup for Google Cloud, and what should I check first?   ​

Good day, I have a PVE 9.0.18 in my NUC, using local storage only. Yesterday I updated the VBR and Plugin to the very lastest versions. But..Well, the Proxmox plugin still isn’t working for me… it’s really strange: I configured and tested the worker successfully;I added a Windows VM (same subnet as the VBR, no firewall) to a jobIf I run the credentials test, it fails because the VM is powered off (??)The backup, even crash-consistent, also failsFor the credential test, I guess the error in the log is: “”aiting for file C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\Plugins\PVE\Backup\PVE-Win_c1c3bce9-32d8-419d-b31a-6a63f6c6d2de\8fa94a5b-e558-4d50-bb67-241ff316ecab\PVE-Win.log to be unlocked”for failed backup (hot add mode)“Failed to await the Backup task 444dd208-68ee-498c-aa5a-8282d85b2369: Veeam.Communication.TypeProvider.Invoke.RpcCallException: Failed to perform backup: Failed to prepare disks for backup” what am I doing wrong?

I attended the Veeam Toronto event recently and met some great people there and thought it might be time to join the Community.  Nice to be here and hope to spend some time giving back in the future.  For now, trying to work my way through the Veeam 13 upgrade as it’s the first where I’ve run into a major issue since starting with 9.5.I upgraded VeeamONE, Backup Enterprise, then B&R from 12.3 to 13 yesterday.  I have run into a couple of issues and currently have a support ticket open but thought I would highlight some growing pains here as well as ask if anyone has seen this yet.  The B&R upgrade process went smoothly until I got to the point where I opened the new console.First problem, logged in and console opened fine(after running as Administrator) but I lost access to my Nutanix AHV clusters and backup proxy machines int the backup infrastructure.  I have a mix of AHV and VMware clusters and the VMware side had no issues - my B&R VM and another Windows-based proxy use
