Seeking peer help for Community Edition

Post by Zoli »

Hello,

The Community Edition of VBR is functionally awesome, until a technical issue crops up.

The term "Community" would suggest that while I can't get specialist support from the Veeam support team (fair enough), I should still be allowed to tap into peers' expertise, people who don't work for Veeam, are not on the Veeam payroll, admins just like me.

I tried recently to post a technical question in the "community" forum to the "community". However it ended up being censored by Veeam and thrown into the rubbish bin because I have not provided a case ID. But wait, how can I provide a case ID if I am not entitled to official technical support?

My question is: does anyone know how can I ask a technical question from non-Veeam employees (a.k.a. the "community") if I run the Community Edition of the software?

Thank you.

Actually, you CAN open a support case and get best effort support with CE. These forums are created for feature discussions and not for debug log diving.

Please follow the red link shown when you click New Topic, the information provided there covers your question with excessive level of details :D

Note that you can definitely "ask a technical question from non-Veeam employees" here, and this does not require a support case ID. However, from the first line of your post, it is clear that you didn't post just a technical question - but rather an issue you ran into. And posting the latter does require a support case ID.
