Cannot connect to Azure Blob Storage

Post by 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.

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

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.
