Veeam Backup and FastSCP

[thokozani.mabaso]

Hi All, I have installed the Veema Backup and FastSCP, everything went smoothly. But now when I try to backup one of the VM's it is displaying something I don't understand.

Here is my config:
- X4450 with 3 VM's. 1. Virtual Centre, Veeam Software(Backup and FastSCP), and Windows Test. The last VM is the one that I want to backup. They all running Windows 2003 Std edition.

Here is the message I receive everytime I try to do a backup.

Verifying changed block tracking... Disk "Hard disk 1" has incorrect changed block tracking configuration. One or more VM disks have incorrect changed block tracking configuration. To resolve this, open VMware vSphere Client, right-click the VM, choose Edit Settings, Options tab, select General, click Configuration Parameters, and set all entries with ‘ctkEnabled’ substring to false. Veeam Backup will then automatically re-enable changed block tracking with the correct settings during the next job run. Backing up file "[data] Windows-Test/Windows-Test-flat.vmdk" BackupDisk failed Client error: Failed to open VDDK disk [[data] Windows-Test/Windows-Test.vmdk] ( is read-only mode - [true] ) Failed to open VMDK.

Hello, actually there are multiple settings, not just one. Make sure you update all entries. If it still does not work, then it sounds like this VM is using unsupported disk type. It would be best to contact our support for detailed investigation.

Hello, may you please send me all the settings that needs to be changed.

Hello, you can find all the settings by following the link below:

You may also want to check to see if any of the VM disks are set to "independent" mode, as this will cause errors to be thrown when enabling CBT.

Thanks all everyone. I have figure out the problem. Under the Hard disk 1, mode I have check Indepedent, persistent. After uncheck it, everything went smoothy.
