Task failed Error

Post by Dale.E »

So I gave up on Veeam back in January as it suddenly started pulling this error:

Task failed Error: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

I only use it to backup a VM once in a while, like when I am going to decommission it and put it in an archive.

So I decided to tackle it again and see what's going on, anyone able to give me some direction here?

it doesn't show up on any search I have done.

VMware 5.1
VM is shutdown and ready to archive then remove.

Hi Dale,

Looks like windows firewall may cause this. Check this article and the given solution and let us know if that helps. Thank you.
