Application item restore with crash consistens backup possible - why?

Post by myFist »

Hello

Our SBS Server Backup shows these messages:

Code: Select all

20.11.2019 09:41:02 :: Subscribing to guest processing components  
20.11.2019 09:41:03 :: Failed to create VM recovery checkpoint (mode: Veeam application-aware processing with failover) Details: Job failed ('Fehler beim Prüfpunktvorgang für "SBS". (ID des virtuellen Computers: D2EB4A81-9BF5-4E08-A03E-F1C80088FBE5)

20.11.2019 09:41:36 :: Creating VM recovery checkpoint (mode: Crash consistent)  
So why is the application item restore with a crash consistent backup possible?

Hi myFist,

Regarding the error message. It looks like a Hyper-V issue. Please take a brief look at this topic. Could you please try to create a production checkpoint manually to confirm the root cause resides on the Hyper-V side?

Answering your question, I do not think it would be possible to perform an application item restore from this particular backup. Are you saying you have done it?

Thanks in advance!

Checkpoint creation works fine.

We do not utilize legacy checkpoints at all - Veeam B&R relies purely on the production checkpoints when backing up Hyper-V 2016 and later. If a production checkpoint cannot be created manually by following the above procedure, meaning there is an issue with Hyper-V components or VSS, the best way to proceed would be to raise a support case with Microsoft. The topic I have linked above might be worth checking for additional information.

Thank you!
