Server 2025 + Active Directory 32k page database

[ask-post-evolve]

Is there a clear answer from Veeam if this is supported in V12.3 and if not will it come with V13?

Task:
Validate your backup software is compatible with the 32k page database format by backing up and restoring a 32k page capable database in a test environment.

V12.3 compatible
V13 compatible

Hello Mario

Let me reach out to our QA team to see if we have tested backup/restore with the new database format.

Hi all

A short update.
We saw mounting issues in our lab with Veeam Explorer for Active Directory and 32k page databases.
Our QA team is currently investigating. For now we recommend to stay with 8k pages.

Best,
Fabian

Hi Didier,

We are testing it, our QA team wants to validate all possible scenarios, including the 8k to 32k upgrade. I believe we will confirm official support soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks!
