Error while -import configuration

[Krosik]

Dear Veeam Support,

With CMD run as administrator I was able to export configuration
"C:\Program Files\Veeam\EndPoint Backup\Veeam.Agent.Configurator.exe" -Export/f:C:\Veeam\BackupWeek01AM.xml

But when try :
"C:\Program Files\Veeam\EndPoint Backup\Veeam.Agent.Configurator.exe" -import /f:C:\Veeam\BackupWeek01AM.xml
Got ErrorCode: 50
Errors:
Failed to perfrom the operation
Invalid job configuration : Volume [VolumeName (B:)] is located on disck [Disk 0] which is in invalid state.

When create configuration from GUI (volume level backup) there are no errors, Backup job starts, finish and restore to test VM end with 100% success.

Workstation got 3 Volumes (C:, B:, E:) - Disck B: that shows error is connected via PCI Slot

Location of drives C: - Location 4 (Bus Number 1, Target Id 1), E: Location 4 ( - Busk Number 1, Id 1), B: Location 1 (Bus Number 0, Id 0)

Disck MGM shows:
C: Volumen 1 type Standard, State Online, Partition GPT
B: Volumen 0, type Standard, State Online, Partition GPT
E:Volumen 2, type Standard, State Online, Partition GPT

Hello Krosik.

What edition of Veeam Agent for Windows are you using? Thanks.

[Krosik]

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 2.1.0.423 - Free Edition

[Dima P.]

Free edition does not support configuration import (import command requires license to be installed). Thank you.

[Krosik]

We got some unused license I just upgrade it to Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 2.1.0.423 - Server Edition. (license was bought 1 week ago)
Same error.
Aplication restart, re-instaled. server restarted after installation.

License is for Phisical Server this is single phisical server Windows 2012R2.

[Krosik]

After upgrade do Server Edition I made -export configuration and while try to -import got same error as on free version

[Dima P.]

Thanks! What type of repository are you using for this configuration?

[Krosik]

This is backup to share folder(SMB). This location got 1 phisical server so we did not user Backup & Replication app.
This is standalone installation. It is FS with single SQL DB. only Win2k12R2.
All other settings are default, non of gest processing option are enabled.
This is most simple backup that is possible to configure We do not need other fuctionality than in free version. Just because it is server we bought license with support.
And if it is possible we would like to leave it this way.

If you use file share as a target and it requires authentication you must update xml file with account name and password. Check this article and let me know if have any questions.

Dear Dimitry,
xml file contain authentication data for share. There is no error with it. Error I have while use CMD with -import comand, error is:
"Failed to perfrom the operation
Invalid job configuration : Volume [VolumeName (B:)] is located on disck [Disk 0] which is in invalid state."

B: is a partition on Server I would like to backup (this partion is located on single Disc connected by PCI insede server)

Same settings setup from GUI of Veeam Aget aplication are corfirmed and saved with no errors and backup start normalny.
Issue is only on -import process from xml file witch should be exacly same as from GUI Interface.
I would like to know why GUI Interface allow me to set this backup job but -import comand does not.

I would like implement backup for Core with no GUI so cmd -import from .xml will be requierd for my template

[Dima P.]

Thanks! Just to confirm: you configured this job via UI, exported configuration to xml, updated credentials (as we do not export access credentials to the xml) and when loading it back to the same agent you get this error?
