Veeam agent free default numer of retries

Post by maudam »

Hi all,
i'd like to know how many retries will try the backup job before stop with an error by default.
I have a win 10 pc trying to backup to a network share and it keep retry every ten minutes.
And there is a way to tell to veeam agent to stop after 5 tries ? I couldn't find a way to do it.

Thanks

Hello maudam,

Veeam Agent for Windows operating in free or workstation mode has built-in retry cycle - it will automatically re-start the job unless it succeeds. Cheers!

Hi and thanks for your answer.

Do you know how many times agent will retry before giving up ?
And there is a way to limit the number or the time of retries ?

Thanks

Agent in Free or Workstation mode will keep retrying the backup job for 24 hours (till the next job start in case job is configured to run daily). Cheers!
