Case 00563885 Spoke on the phone to a support engineer, he was going to pass it on to sales as it is an installation issue.
I have a new install of Veeam 7 update 3 on a VM running on a ESXi 5.5 U1 host. Veeam backup repository is to a iSCSI NAS attached to the VM containing Veeam.
I am only trying to back up local VMs on this particular host.
I have a service account that has AD domain admin permissions, as well as admin access to the ESXi host. I am able to create a snapshot of the target VM logged into ESXi with this account.
There are no concurrent backup jobs.
There is no IDE involved as far as VM disks are concerned.
The hardware version of the VMs is 9
VMWare tools is up to date on both the Veeam server and the target.
There is no Anti-virus involved.
UAC turned off on Veeam server and target.
All 4 Veeam services started with the aforementioned service account.
Backups will only work in network mode (5mbps). If I force it to appliance mode it fails.
The log seems to indicate a permissions issue. Here is a snippet of it should anyone be able to help:
