GetFilefromGADir Error

Post by rogerdu »

OK, this is s strange one... I'm getting this error (IP's changed mostly)

5/29/2019 10:08:26 AM :: Failed to finalize guest processing. Error: Failed to call RPC function 'Vss.GetFileFromGADir': Error code: 0x80070002. Failed to invoke func [GetFileFromGADir]: The system cannot find the file specified.. Cannot copy file. Source file: [\\3OctetsHere.110\ADMIN$\VeeamVssSupport\metadata\VSS\BackupComponents.xml]. Target file: [C:\Windows\{279b07f1-0c27-48f6-af89-ba6f049d5a33}\BackupComponents.xml]. CopyFile() failed. Win32 error:The system cannot find the file specified. Code: 2.

The conundrum is that the last octet SHOULD be 50 not 110... if I do an nslookup on the IP address above I get a totally different nodename than the one it should be. if I use the original nodename, I get the correct IP address (in nslookup).

Any ideas?

Hello,
could you describe what you are doing?

Just guessing from the error message: if you change the IP of the VM during application aware backup, then I would say that's an expected outcome.

Best regards,
Hannes

I'm doing an application aware backup of Node1, but in the logs and the error message in the console, it is indicating a different IP address (that of Node2).

Hello,
what do you mean with "Node1"? The Hyper-V host? Because it makes no sense to backup the Hyper-V host with application aware backup.

Just to clarify: you are using "Backup and Replication" and not "Veeam Agent for Windows"?

Best regards,
Hannes

Node1 and Node2 refer to the VMs I am trying to backup. and yes Backup and Replication... NOT Veeam Agent for Microsoft.
