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.

The copy backup jobs (secondary target) for two of physical server backup jobs are generating two emails per backup instead of one.  For each backup copy job run,  two “Success” emails within minutes:Example:11:05 PM – Success 11:07 PM – Success    Subjects are identical,  EnvironmentProduct: Veeam Backup & Replication 13.0.1.2067 Workload: Veeam Agent for Windows (Physical Servers) Jobs impacted: Physical Servers 7PM Daily Copy to Archive Physical Servers 7PM Daily Copy to Immutable Physical Servers 10PM Daily Copy to Archive Physical Servers 10PM Daily Copy to Immutable Notification Settings Review1.

I have an issue where in a copy job there are out of 12 VMs, 5 VMs are failing with Failed to process, Error: Cannot find full backup. The source job is complete and has got all .vbk files where as in copy job the .vbk files for 5 servers are not available. I have run repo scan of source and copy job and removed and added source backup job from copy job and readded the same, the sync now latest yielded the same result. Any workaround other than deleting these VMs from disk copy jobs ?

Hi, can someone tell me how to troubleshoot this? I installed Veeam on Windows 11 Home and defined its configuration, then resolved issues it reported. When I ran the backup job it reported success but no backups were created. I followed the quick start guide for a simple setup using my Dell for all components and tried backing up my C:\ drive to another drive where I would copy backup files to an ssd to keep offline.

Hey! My company currently has a Veeam Premium license which includes all of the core Veeam products. I really want to certify to showcase my skills and improve them too, but they are refusing the pay 2.5k for the course material + exam.I can see there is a Veeam University Pro for customers and partners but to be perfectly honest it seems all cluttered the some of the links are dead and return to dead ends.What options do I have and is there a cheaper way to certify?Cheers,LGH.

Hi,Over the past week, the checkpoint removal process has been completing with warnings. I receive notifications 2–3 times, and then it returns to normal and completes successfully without warnings.However, for the past 4 days, I’ve been receiving the same warnings again. I’ve checked everything, and everything seems normal. When I review the statistics, there’s no clear reason for these warnings.Could someone help me understand what might be causing this issue?Thank you in advance.

Hi community,I’m running into an issue with Custom Roles in Veeam Backup & Replication v13, and I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction.I’m trying to create a restricted Backup Admin who should only see and manage specific backup jobs and specific repositories. However, I’m experiencing the following behavior:If I configure the custom role with limited permissions (selected jobs and/or selected repositories), → the user does not see any jobs at all. If I grant broader permissions (effectively “Full Access”), → the jobs appear, but then the user sees all jobs, not just the intended subset.I’ve tried several configurations, but the result is always the same:Either zero jobs are visible, or all jobs become visible when access is unrestricted.My goal is to allow a delegated admin to operate only a defined set of backup jobs and use only the repositories assigned to them — nothing else.Has anyone successfully configured granular visibility in v13?Any examples of working c

Is there a way to get better reporting for usage on hardened repositories? I recently had a Wasabi issue after upgrading to 12 and our console was showing 29.7tb’s of usage which is right under our 30tb bucket. Actual bucket size was 128tb which lead to additional billing.

Hi Everyone,We have a client who recently switched to Proxmox and they have Veeam VBR configured.Client currently has site-2-site Proxmox to Proxmox replication.How can VM replication be achieved from ProxMox on Production to a DR site via Layer 2 connection site to site or via VCSP Cloud Connect?DR site currently has VMWARE vCenter and Hyper-V.A ProxMox host can be placed at the DR site.

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? 

Hello.I have three servers: one is EnterpriseManager, the second is VeeamBackup, and the third has the Veeam console installed. When I launch the Veeam console on the backup server, I get the error "failed to load license from backup services." I looked at the logs and see that the client versions match. I see that a connection attempt is being made, but the connection is being closed. I don't understand why. I tried TNC fqdn for the backup server - port 9392, as well as port 9396, and there were no errors..  I changed the names and IP addresses in the logs. I don't think they're needed for analysis.

Hi, I tried using Veeam Agent for Windows on my 2025 Server to backup a D drive.  The backup destination was a couple of USB disks which I registered with VAW and I wanted to use the disks on rotation.  That backup job failed with some problem about VAW insisting on using the same USB disk each time, plus my colleague convinced me to use the community version of Veeam Backup & Replication, so I started again. I’ve installed VBR, created a repository using one of the USB disks and did my first backup.  All ok.  Then I re-ran the job 5 mins later with the same USB disk still plugged in, so no disk change/no rotation, as I wanted to see if it created the VIB file.  Nope!  I got this: Processing New Backup_Job_1 Error: Update of the storage [E:\Backups\SRV02\New SRV02.c5c62b19-d1f0-4e8e-864d-3da8e38f3D2026-03-30T222815_7C96.vib] is not supported.

Cześć wszystkim! :) Mam pytanie z jakich narzędzi korzystacie przy oszacowaniu wymaganej ilości licencji na objęcie backup Entra ID? Pamiętam, że kiedyś w pierwszej wersji VDC można było się zalogować kontem MS do konsoli i wyświetlały się dane ile jest potrzebnych licencji na backup M365 i Entra ID.Macie może jakieś swoje praktyki jak to oszacować przy rozwiązaniu VDP. może jakiś raport z Azure? 

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.

Hi Team,I am getting this warning during a Veeam Agent backup: Warning: Unable to truncate SQL server transaction logs. Details: Failed to truncate SQL server transaction logs for instance XYZ. The backup completes successfully and application aware processing is enabled, but the SQL logs are not truncating. Any idea what could cause this or what I should check next? Thanks.  

Je suis nouveau avec Veeam 13 et les lecteurs LTO. Je dispose d’un Lecteur LTO 7 HPE avec un serveur sous Windows 11 et je commence juste de m’entrainer à faire du File to Tape pour faire quelques tests. Je précise que ma bande est un modèle sans code barre.Mais une fois un test effectué sur 100 Go, je bute pour réinitialiser la bande qui affiche obstinément une capacité de 100 Go, conforme à mes premiers tests et refuse de revenir à un statut vierge mentionnant une capacité initiale de 6 To. Après avoir parcouru la doc, je crois avoit tout testé mais je dois rater quelque chose. Voici ce que j’ai testé:Effacement des Tape Jobs Erase Tape (longue) Inventory DriveJe pensais que j’avais involontairement “protégé” ma bande mais quand je fais un clic droit sur la bande, je vois que “protect” est en grisé. Et si elle l’est, pas moyen de la déprotéger. Bien entendu, la languette mécanique de la cartouche n'est pas sur “protégée”.La fonction “export” est également en grisée. Quand je tente “I

Hi there my friends!!Can you help understanding the calculator? It doesnt seem to me it has taken into consideration real physical backup servers linux hardened immutable servers and all.There is lots of terminology and calculations for S3 and Object-Storage servers, not so many for real physical linux hardened immutable repo. Also I feel it kinda misleading. Let’s see:>I have forward incremental backup chain with full on sundays and I have 7 days immutability.>For the immutability to be ACTUALLY REAL I understand I should have 14 days immutability.>Otherwise when I get to day 8, I have the full from yesterday, and I have the original full I did.>Hacker gets into repo pwns the box, messes, modifies, destroys my original full.>All week lost also yesterdays backup because it depended on the previous chain. I understand that your documentation says that the immutability locks will be automatically applied to the whole chain, however, thats not what your calculator says:Here

Hi Team, We are updating VBR from version 12.3.2.4165 to 12.3.2.4465 and we VAL and RMAN which are in version 6.3.2.1207 and 12.3.1.1139 My Question is after the VBR upgrade will RMAN and Linux agent backup works with existing version or do we need to update agents as well immediately 

I already have a ticket open on this, but while Im waiting does anyone have any suggestions on things to try. Unfortunately, to make things complicated this only started happening after we upgraded to V13 and also upgraded the firmware on our exagrids. We are using storage integrated backups with Pure. I have not updated the Storage Array plugin yet. I have rescanned everything I could possibly rescan and all backups still sit at 0%
