DR Help - Restore an encrypted backup - Error

[jamin100]

Hi Guys,

Im new to Veeam and have got it setup ok so far but am failing at one stage.

My Hyper-V cluster containing 33 VM's is being backed up to a local NAS. This works fine.

Im also backing up to a local 5TB USB3 external HDD and have enabled encryption on this drive. The theory is that I have 3 of these drives and they are taken off site in rotation incase of a disaster.
So, in order to test the theory, I have created a new 2012r2 server and installed veeam v8 (same version as my main backup server)

I've added the encrypted drive in Veeam and it sows up under backups as Encrypted. I then provide the password but it doesn't complete. It comes back with an error saying 'Backup Already Exists'

I was expecting to see the available backup points in order to restore them.

Can anyone point me as to where im going wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry guy's ive figured it out. I was trying to import the .VMB rather than the VBK. Once I selected the VBK all was well

Ben, import via VBM file should work fine. Please contact technical support - there're currently a couple of issues in this area, so it is advisable to investigate this behavior to avoid unwanted consequences.
