Veeam B&R – Certificate expiration date

Hi,

Last month, one major Veeam Backup & Replication bug was discovered about self-signed certificate. The following error message appears when starting Veeam Backup and Replication (Veeam B&R) console: “Failed to check certification expiration date“. This bug is very annoying because it will impact everyone who’s using the default self-signed certificates, which is, unfortunately, the majority. As a reminder, Veeam uses those certificates to implement secure communication between backup infrastructure components, as well as with managed backup agents.

This certificate is set to expire in 1 year from its creation date, and due to some bugs, you will see artifacts of its expiration one year after your Update 3 installation date. Which means this will hit many of you in the next few weeks…
