Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Restore Points Missing

Hello,Yesterday I had to re-install Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.  I now lost my ability to restore from previous backups.  When I try to do a test restore, I can only choose backups from yesterday.  Is there a way to fix this?

Veeam Service Monitoring

Hi allWe have multiple installations of Veeam and some of them have all roles on the same server (Backup, Proxy, Mount and so on), some roles are distributed on others servers. Some installations have PostgreSQL and some have MSSQL. Has anyone a idea how to get the installed roles on a server (registry, folders) so we can choose which service to monitor on which server. Additionally is there an overview of which service belong to which role? Thanks,Dario

Timeout issue with Proxmox VE backups

I am experiencing a strange issue with Veeam BR and Proxmox VE.The Proxmox VE backups have been working successfully for the past 6 Months.Recently we added an extra network adapter to the Veeam BR host to provide access to another VLAN.Since the addition of the extra network adapter the Proxmox VE backups have been failing.When I run a test on the Proxmox Worker it fails because of a timeout after 300000 Milliseconds (5 Mins).It is not the specific adapter that is the problem I can remove one of the other adapters and the test and backups work.I have tried to adjust timeouts in the appsettings.json file but no success there.From what I can see in the logs it is trying to connect to a backup appliance endpoint.The endpoint it trying to get to is at 192.168.1.161 but when all four adapters are in play that address is the last one in line and it times out before it gets there.I haven’t raised a support case with Veeam yet, just though I would see if anyone has experienced anything simila

Adding Licenses to Veeam Backup for 365

I need to add an additional 35 licenses to Veeam for 365 and I have acquired the .lic file. The Update button in the Veeam License Information window does not allow me to add licenses, nor does it detect additional licenses. I was going to try just clicking the Install button and browsing to the file, but I am concerned it may overwrite the existing license file and not just add licenses to it. Can anyone confirm this is the correct method? Or should I be adding these licenses with another method? The email with my license file did not have instructions, only a link for support if I need assistance.

NetApp ONTAP S3 (ONTAP 9.14 and above) und Veeam Immutability

NetApp ONTAP S3 with Immutability (ONTAP 9.14 and higher) is currently not (or no longer) supported by Veeam. This means that Veeam backups on a NetApp ONTAP S3 bucket with activated Object Lock (Immutability) are currently not considered “immutable” in the sense of Veeam functionality. The main reason is that ONTAP S3 with activated Object Lock no longer fulfills all the requirements that Veeam needs for immutability.  Veeam currently only lists ONTAP S3 as “not immutable” in its own compatibility directory. The use of Immutability is therefore not officially approved NetApp is working on a solution with the support of Veeam (you may be able to get information via the NetApp Partner Manager).  --> This is ONTAP S3 (on ONTAP machines (FAS/AFF), not a NetApp Storage GRID)! Links to this:NetApp ONTAP S3 with immutability - R&D ForumsNetApp ONTAP S3

Backup server hanging with pegged / maxed CPU after upgrading to server 2025

case: 07735344keyword:  Server 2025,  24h2,  upgrade ReFSA few days after upgrading to Server 2025 (in-place upgrade ...yeah yeah...i know but options were limited), the CPU started to peg on the VM which would also max out the CPU of the host.  The VM would be unreachable/unusable until after a cold restart. Ultimately, it looks like ReFS version was slowly being upgraded on our SAN due to the upgrade and it was incompatible with Veeam.  If I kept all veeam services off...no issues.  Once the services were on (even with all jobs disabled), the CPU would once again peg and the VM would hang.After weeks of troubleshooting, I had to cut my losses and reformat/reinstall using server 2022....blowing away all backups.  Importing saved backup config did bring the Veeam server back with all settings and I was able to slowly bring all my backups online (I had to do it slowly because we have backup copy jobs going over a wan which took days. CMadison

SQL Backup Not Offloading to Azure Blob (Cool Tier)

 Hi Veeam Team,I'm using the Veeam Backup Plug-in for Microsoft SQL Server and trying to offload SQL full backups to Azure Blob Storage (Cool tier) via SOBR, but I don't see any offload happening.Here's my setup:- Veeam B&R: Latest Version - SQL Plug-in installed and working on SSMS.- Full backup (not Copy Only) created from the SQL plug-in.- The backup target is a SOBR that includes:   - Performance Tier: Data Domain   - Capacity Tier: Azure Blob (Cool)   - Archive Tier: Azure Archive- The SOBR has "Copy backups to object storage as soon as they are created" enabled- I verified the job runs and stores the backup on the Performance Tier (Data Domain), but **nothing appears in Azure Blob**- No entries under History > System > Capacity Tier I checked the Azure container and can't find any `.vbk` files. I also can't confirm if Veeam is sending anything to Azure at all.Is there something specific with the SQL Plug-in + SOBR that prevents offload?  Do Copy Only or SQL Agent jobs b
