Cannot connect to Azure Blob Storage

[jamesc23]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to set up backup repository to connect to Azure Blob Storage in Veeam Backup and Replication but I'm getting an error saying "Failed to connect to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage endpoint"

The server goes through a proxy and internet works fine. Have I missed any settings?

Thanks.

Hello James and welcome to the forum,
could you please clarify, where this error appears? Is It possible to share the screenshot with us? Thank you!

Hi,

I get the error when I try to create object storage repository under backup repositories. Will try to work out how to attach screenshot.

I'm using backup & replication 9.5 update 4.

Thanks.

OK - somehow I've managed to establish connectivity and I can now see blob storage within Veeam. Didn't do anything differently.

Hello James,

Thanks for the screenshots. Looks like it was a temporary connectivity issue, glad to hear it's now resolved. Cheers!

Is there HTTPS proxy in place? If so, you need to follow these recommendations. Thanks!

For anyone running into this issue, this may help.

Checking %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\Svc.VeeamBackup.log yields the following error:

"Failed to connect to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage endpoint (Veeam.Backup.Common.CAuthenticationFailedException)"

This can occur if your system time is off by an amount enough to trigger a failure on the Azure Blob Authentication. For me this was 30minutes.
