Hello,
The
License Information page clarifies that ticking
Receive proactive support turns on diagnostic data sharing: the backup server uploads a telemetry log to Veeam once a week, and you can read exactly what leaves the box first, in
Code: Select all
C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\Utils\VMC.log
How that data is handled is in
Processing of Sensitive Data in Veeam Technical Support.
The shared telemetry gets matched against known-issue signatures, the same approach we announced for Veeam ONE
Intelligent Diagnostics, but in case of the Veeam Backup & Replication option, it's not related to Veeam One product; just the approach is the same, so Veeam Support can catch a known bug or misconfiguration in your environment and reach out with a fix or KB before it becomes a case.
It's opt in and fully reversible. Clear the check box in License Information to stop sharing whenever you want.
