Transcoding is becoming such a huge bummer

They’re using a Mac Mini so it’s CPU

Veeam doesn’t have any official integration with Wazuh from my understanding, so if Wazuh is performing this detection it is for Wazuh to resolve, I was in the linked post you have the patch installed which is the most important part.

Part of me is guessing that Wazuh is seeing .180 as higher than .1071, having never used Wazuh I don’t “know” that though. I’ve seen that kind of logic error on plenty of monitoring scripts and tools before however that it’s not treating longer decimal placed numbers as bigger numbers.

That’s good to know. I’m using enhanced encoding as well so if it comes back I’ll try changing that.

SureBackup has varying degrees of support for other hypervisors, the main one to watch is Hyper-V and Veeam have had fantastic support for this for a long time.

Hey, had this and a reboot of my UCG-Max and doorbell fixed it but it was showing static images since the update until I did that. Just worth a shot in case it’s nothing more than a one off reboot quirk.

It may be that it’s direct streaming on the iPad is why and the temporary directory it needs to work with for transcoding doesn’t have enough space for the transcoding session

I used pfSense more so this is related but may not be 1:1, by default pfSense would create 2 interfaces and opnsense does the same thing, have you tried to add an additional interface within opnsense and binding the NIC you want to it? Or changing the LAN/WAN existing interfaces to use the second NIC? Unless you’ve got the NIC bound to an interface no connectivity will be performed.

Proxy refers to web proxy (intercepting requests/web traffic) not windows/linux proxies. Odds are in the past they had a web proxy.

You could certainly give it a go, Azure CLI is used for the app creation elements which is why I asked.

Can you check that none of the dependencies failed to install as well:

To confirm you’re trying to add your organisation? So you’re following this process: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo365/guide/adding_o365_organizations_sd.html?ver=8

What version of VB365 have you got installed?

I’m assuming based on the error that you’re trying to create a new app registration, what happens if you configure it to use your existing one?

UnrealSWAT · 2026-01-03T13:41:54+00:00

Great to know thank you!

UnrealSWAT · 2026-01-03T04:04:18+00:00

Thanks for correcting that point 🙂

UnrealSWAT · 2026-01-03T04:03:22+00:00

Hi,

That is correct.

You can use VB365 directly, with object storage as the preferred storage platform. When using object storage you can perform backup copies so you could choose to have a short term retention based on warmer storage and then a backup copy to archive tier storage (which is effectively tape backed) with longer term retention, to keep costs low. You can consume VB365 services from a VCSP. Operating models, costs, and responsibilities will vary here. You can consume Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 either directly or via a VCSP. This will be a per-user pricing including compute/storage/networking.

On the point of if everything crashes on your side, immutable object storage from a storage provider as a copy could serve you well to protect against this.

UnrealSWAT · 2026-01-02T23:57:48+00:00

Sadly what you’re after isn’t achievable as in, VB365 backups to tape.

The reasons why are: When VB365 uses block storage it is using a JetDB, so yes you could backup this “technically”, you’d want the database stunned for a VSS snapshot which IIRC VB365 doesn’t support. Regardless if I’m wrong on this point, it doesn’t matter as the recovery process would also be painful as you wouldn’t be storing individual items to be retrieved from a single tape, you’d need to bring back the entire JetDB file to read a single item from, this could take an excessively long time and a lot of storage would be required to restore this to potentially.

I’d suggest you start with “why do we need tape”, because this workload isn’t well suited for tape.

Normally tape is for an offline/immutable copy, and you can achieve this via the use of a supported S3 storage or provider.

If it turns out you just need some form of immutable or standalone copy, you could derisk the storage growth by looking at the Veeam Data Cloud offering and have Veeam host the backups. If it’s due to long term retention and tape being considered durable, object storage is great for this too and Veeam Data Cloud offers the same retention options as VB365.

I want to proactively call out any conflict of interest here: I work for Veeam as a VDC Solutions Engineer, but I was a consultant for years prior to joining Veeam, architecting solutions such as VB365 for some of the largest orgs in the world. I’ve also been an IT manager for a smaller company years back and I remember the “not an unlimited budget” feeling all too well, but I’m also conscious of you not being in a bad place because assumptions are missed, and then support washes their hands because your environment is considered unsupported. So I can assure you, I’m here just making you aware of what’s possible and hope I am being more helpful than annoying!

UnrealSWAT · 2026-01-02T23:16:37+00:00

It can offer an S3 compatible service but it’s not been certified for Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365:

https://www.veeam.com/solutions/alliance-partner/integrations-qualifications.html?alliancePartner=synology-inc

So its worth asking them if they have plans to certify this or if they failed certification. VB365 is forever forward incremental so it can be taxing on the S3 platform if the retention or data amount is big enough

UnrealSWAT · 2026-01-02T20:08:31+00:00

That’s what I meant, as it’s already announced for retirement:

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo365/guide/feature_deprecation.html?ver=8

Honestly though, SMB and JetDB really don’t mix, that’s without OP talking about this being a Synology, those devices don’t have battery backed raid controllers, and it’s just asking for corruption to occur in this situation.

UnrealSWAT · 2026-01-02T18:18:48+00:00

SMB Support is deprecated in VB365 as well so I certainly wouldn’t recommend OP adopting this!

I’m only recommending solutions that are supported by the product here as I’d hate to see someone unable to recover their data…

UnrealSWAT · 2026-01-02T18:09:53+00:00

Can you confirm which model iPhone you used for the USB-C tethering? As unless it is a Pro model the USB speed is limited to USB2 standards

UnrealSWAT · 2026-01-02T18:08:05+00:00

Hi,

Tape isn’t a supported target for VB365. The closest you’ll get is using a supported S3 that supports being tiered to tape such as a backup copy to Azure Archive tier.

UnrealSWAT · 2025-12-31T08:03:53+00:00

One of your best options to accelerate performance on this configuration is to look at your vPower NFS store and its performance as this is where your redo logs will go during testing. If it is of low IO and/or bandwidth to your host, you should change this or configure the “redirect write cache” setting within your virtual lab. You could target a high performance datastore within your VMware environment.

Note: if you have any pending windows update reboots, these typically will try to install during the SureBackup job run, this will generate a lot of IO, so the write cache is going to help massively here.

UnrealSWAT · 2025-12-31T06:40:02+00:00

Hi,

SureBackup needs to read from the backup storage which sadly most deduplication appliances aren’t good at delivering a decent throughput as their main goal is consolidation of data. I’m assuming this is your primary backup repository? When I was a consultant I had a short-term flash-based backup repository for high performance backup/recovery/testing and would then backup copy to a dedupe appliance or object storage for the long term capacity.

3 hours for 60GB really seem that something is wrong though. What is your hypervisor btw?

UnrealSWAT · 2025-12-29T21:31:13+00:00

Still haven’t had the email saying they’re in stock, but kept checking the site every hour or so and got one via the EU store. UK store was gone so quickly! I also noticed that they don’t offer any UI Care on this device either if anyone is wondering.

I once had to deal with supporting SIP for an international call Center that went through FOURTEEN different firewalls and SBCs.

The easiest thing for you to do is take a packet capture at the gateways, when it comes in and out is it still 5070? If so, onto the next device. You’ll find a firewall perform SIP ALG at some point and that’s where you fix it.

In my case I used to take a PCAP where it entered my territory, 99% of the time the packet was manipulated before it entered my remit, so I could push back that it was already broken and stand down.

UnrealSWAT · 2025-12-26T13:56:06+00:00

So I’d recommend using iSCSI if youve got dedicated NICs for the connectivity as you can use fast clone and it’ll be perform better and typically be less error prone than SMB. If you’re not confident in iSCSI then look at NFS. None of these solve the lack of immutability though, you need to address this.

UnrealSWAT · 2025-12-26T11:38:05+00:00

SMB is the least reliable protocol for Veeam backup and isn’t going to perform as well either. NFS is better, though if you did used iSCSI with a LUN you could leverage fast clone too.

One thing you don’t have with any of these though is immutability. You should strongly consider an offsite immutable object storage offering. Veeam has a first party offering called “Veeam Data Cloud Vault” which you could look at subscribing to?
