Copy job finished with an error - Failed to perform patch of the full backup. Any reason for this?
Hi folks,I hope you are well, for the lucky ones enjoy the VeeamON.I am performing restoration tests with Veeam from a Data Domain to an Hyper-V environment in order to take advantage of Veeam's acceleration mechanisms I am using the Entire VM restoration method.But I have a doubt how Veeam process the restore when a VM have multiple disks attached. I have read the documentation:https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/hyperv/dell_dd_accelerated_restore.html?ver=120On the schema is mentionned Parallel disk restore.In the explanation :3. Every VM disk is processed in a separate task. For each task, Veeam Backup & Replication starts one Veeam Data Mover on the backup proxy. Additionaly, Veeam Backup & Replication starts Data Mover on the gateway server, but one Veeam Data Mover for all tasks.Veeam Data Mover on the gateway server reads data blocks of VM disks from the backup repository sequentially, as these blocks reside on disk. Then Veeam Data Mover on the gateway server tra
Hello,i would like to ask, if anybody has experience, if there is different between selection of proxy server per job or per repository.Is there different between priority or some deep thing?i am just thinking, if its better to use selection of proxy per job A (same proxies for all jobs on side A) or only select proxies in affinity per repo/extent for side A?thank you
Hi everyone, I have again encountered a problem related to backup using veeam backup, the error message is below.“Processing VM Linux Error: An error occurred while saving the snapshot: Too many levels of redo logs.

Čaute, v týchto dňoch prebieha VeeamON. Nezašiel tam niekto náhodou a nepodelil by sa o najhorúcejšie novinky?
Dears:I have a question about how to implement: We want to separate network backup traffic and backup traffic for backup repository server.For example, we will set one IP: 1.0.0.1 on backup repository server with DNS host name to handle all backup traffic. At the same time, we want to use another IP: 2.0.0.1 on backup repository server to replicate data to the secondary repository server using backup copy.Any ideas how to implement?Thank you very much!
Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has sent ripples through the enterprise IT world, prompting many organizations to reconsider their dependence on VMware. With licensing changes and rising costs, there’s a growing push to explore more scalable, cost-effective, and future-ready alternatives.That said, there’s no simple one-for-one replacement. Virtualization is evolving fast, and a straight hypervisor swap often misses the bigger picture. What’s needed now is a strategic rethink—one focused on modernization, resilience, and aligning with long-term IT goals.Let’s break down the current landscape and the viable paths forward.Exploring VMware Alternatives: Four Key Paths1. Staying with VMware—For NowFor teams not ready to make a move just yet, staying with VMware and tightening up cost efficiency is one approach. Here’s how some are doing it:Audit licensing to eliminate unnecessary overhead—keep only the critical workloads on VMware. Adopt third-party storage solutions to avoid pricey vSAN
🚨 The Challenge: Limited Support Access During Critical POCsAs a VMCE-certified engineer and active partner, I’ve had the opportunity to deploy Veeam solutions across various environments, often in time-sensitive Proof of Concept (POC) scenarios. These are crucial moments—not just for testing features, but for building trust and confidence with potential customers.However, one recurring challenge we face is limited support access during these POCs. Without a production license, even VMCE partners are often restricted from opening support cases unless routed through a customer with a valid production support contract.This becomes a bottleneck—especially when dealing with complex configurations, replication issues, or backup repository anomalies that need quick resolution. ✅ The Proposal: Grant Production-Level Case Privileges to VMCE Partners (During POCs)We believe that VMCE-certified partners should be granted temporary production-equivalent support privileges when conducting POCs w
I currently have a Quantum Scalar i3 tape library with 4 drives. I need to add 2 more drives to the library in Veeam. We bought a new SAS card, and have not yet installed it into the tape server. When I do, and connect the 2 new drives to it, I am unclear as to what I will need to do in Veeam to get it to recognize that there are now 2 more drives in the library, so I can add them to the correct media pool. Will it automatically see them?
once i try to install VeeamBackup&Replication the setup refuse to complete it just once started it gives that The error "unknown exception occurred vmaGetpropertiesFromRegistry"and close the setup and refuse to continue i am sure that happes related to uncorrect uninstalled veeam application is that mean i look for another application ?
Currently we backup our M365 using Veeam Data Cloud (VDC) including to backup SharePoint site.I have one SharePoint site with large size (around 12TB) and the VDC backup this site need time more than 3 weeks or more for incremental.Contacting the VDC support and they said the backup was throttling by Microsoft.Second app already registered also. From VDC point of view, what can we do to improve this?
Dear All,Let me ask for advice regarding the significant difference between the backup size and the repository size, which is causing inefficient storage usage and making it seem like deletions are not working properly. Below is my configuration: Source Backup: vMWare vCenter Destination Repository: Cloudian Object Storage Backup Frequency: Once per day Full Backup: Once per week Rettention: 7 Days Immutability: 5 days + 0 days (I modified the registry to set block generation to 0 days Capture:Rettention Policy (Job Configuration)Immutability (Repository Configuration)Results:Backup Size 5,20 TBRepository Size 15,6 TB My Opinion:Could the deletion be failing because the data is still locked by immutability at the time of the deletion? If so, what would be the correct configuration to avoid this issue? Could it be due to a failed checkpoint removal, as shown below: Thank you for your attention. I truly appreciate your suggestions and assistance.
Hi everyone, I started the update, and it has been sitting at step 1 for over an hour. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Thanks in advance!
Orchestrator Error, Veeam One Monitoring Service cannot access its database.Initially got the error, “The embedded Veeam Backup and Replication server is not Healthy, state = Communication Error”.So digging more into the issue showed the error above. When I ran VeeamOne client, it said it cannot connect to the Veeam One server.I noticed at the top of the client it shows Community EditionThis is weird, why would it say Community Edition, if VRO is showing a valid license I ran the Veeam One setting utility and was able to connect successfully I opened a ticket to Veeam support and we have been going back and forth for almost 2 weeks now and no results yet. Hoping you folks can give me ideas where to go next.
Backup to object storage requires a valid enterprise edition license Veeam job has been stopped with failures.Error: "Provider load failure."→ Backup Copy Job (Object Storage ) hello This is rich.kim who loves veeam. While using a Veeam permanent license, the error message below suddenly occurred in the object storage of the secondary backup (backup copy). This is a perpetual license that I am using without any problems. Why does a license-related message appear? I can't understand.~
Hi all,I'm using Kasten K10 with a StorageClass set to Retain and Longhorn as the CSI driver. After snapshots are created by K10, they’re left in a detached state — which I understand is expected due to the Retain policy.However, is there a setting in the Helm chart (or elsewhere) that allows K10 to clean up these volumes/snapshots automatically after a backup is deleted? PS: A similar post have been created 3 years ago, but i were hoping that a fix had been provided.
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?
HiI am a newcomer to Veeam. I am backing up to a remotely located NAS using iSCSI. The speed is sitting at < 1mb/s and has been for days. There are no checks in the limit read and write speed under the repository settings and there are no bandwidth restrictions under network traffic rules. Are there any other settings that could be causing this restriction? Many thanks
Hello folks,I asked to the forum but maybe one of you have the answer. I configured a Veeam Azure Appliance, my policy is the following:DailySnapshots:Create 6 snapshots and keep 24 snapshotsBackups:Create 1 backup per day and keep for 30 daysWeeklyCreate restore point at:12:00 AMSnapshots:Keep 1 weekly snapshot (6 days excluded)Backups:Keep weekly backups for 1 month (6 days excluded)Monthly :Create restore point on:1st day of the month at 12:00 AMSnapshots:Keep 1 monthly snapshotBackups:Keep monthly backups for 12 monthsMy VAB is linked to a VBR. On my VBR when I browse the backup properties for each instance I see only Full Backup (vbk files), is that normal with VAB or I miss something ?
Dear Community, Anyone face this issue if yes kindly guide how to fix this. Failed to upgrade host components. Error: 'Exception of type 'Veeam.Backup.Common.CAppException' was thrown.'
Hi all, I’ve following my way through the kasten documentation to get to grips with Kasten, this page seems to suggest that guest file restore is, to some extent, possible Restoring Guest OS Files - Veeam Kasten Integration Guide. I can’t figure out how this would be done through my own testing though? We’re running Kubernetes with a ceph rbd storage pool for data and kasten v7.5.8. Currently joined to Veeam Backup and replication on the latest path running in a vmware production environment. Is it actually possible to do individual file restores like this, or are the docs misleading me?
When I try to upgrade from 12.2.0.334 to 12.3.1.1139, we receive the error "An error has occurred: The system cannot open the device or file specified." We are waiting for your help on the subject.
Good day. Our enterprise manager server has crashed and we wish to create a new server. How do we go about that.
Hello, I want to create a kasten backup policy which has to be executed every 4 hours and retain 6 hourly snapshots. Is it possible to do it? As when I am selecting the frequency hourly, it is getting executing every hour. Thanks
