Error: VeeamFCT driver not installed

Post by frankive »

While we try to run surebackup on a newly installed Veeam Backup Server we get this:
Error: VeeamFCT driver not installed on host (the host is the veeam server with hyper-v enabled)

Googling VeeamFCT doesn't seem to reveal anything obvious?

Is this host added to the Veeam B&R console?

It might be worth checking whether the said driver is indeed present on a given host by checking "%windir%\system32\drivers\veeamfct.sys" directory. Thanks.

You were right. I was fooled after the mgiration since it showed the same server/ip in the console. But if I edited the job and click next all the way it sais it would need to install hyper-v services. The same thing I was fooled with the wan accelerator. After editing the same server and, next, next it installed coorectly. Migration can fool you sometimes :)
