Veeam service will not start...

Post by master_mike »

I rebooted my Veeam for AWS instance and now the veeam backup service will not start.
Errors in the logs:

issue resolved...
in the directory /etc/veeam/awsbackup config.ini has 2 Lines:

LastProductUpdateCheck = "5248846113781377311"

with 2 different numbers, is the reasoning for the Error:System.FormatException: A duplicate key 'CProductUpdateOptions:LastProductUpdateCheck' was found.
removed the second entry and left a black space and rebooted and the services started and I am back online.
Support does not know how or why it got 2 different entries in the INI... and are going to look into the issue.
