Another 'backups failing/hanging indefinitely' post.

Post by Graydom »

Hey there,

So I've raised this with Veeam support, ID 04777219. I have a Synology 920+ NAS, and I'm trying to use VAW to backup my Win10 machine.

I followed the setup from this page https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comme ... microsoft/. The backup started running, then randomly hung at around 7GB transferred. I did some searches online, found how a BITS troubleshooter helped someone, tried it, the next attempt got to around 11GB transferred in 3 minutes and failed with the

Code: Select all

4/27/2021 5:05:44 PM :: Error: Shared memory connection was closed. Failed to upload disk. Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}. Exception from server: The specified network name is no longer available. Failed to write data to the file [\\192.168.1.2\VeeamBackups\Job [myjob]\Job [myjob]-04-27T164749.vbk]. Failed to download disk.  
.

I have 2x IP addresses for the NAS (2x routers) so I tried the other just to see if something on the router was the problem. It's a much slower connection, took 1h30m to get to 10GB transferred, but then failed with the same error.

I've followed the steps listed here https://www.veeam.com/kb1735 after checking here veeam-agent-for-windows-f33/backup-fail ... 62508.html but so far nothing seems to have worked.

The connection between Win machine and NAS is definitely being closed but I don't know why. I've got a network share of the whole NAS on Windows, and when the backup fails, that network connection won't load and nerfs explorer. Any help greatly appreciated!

Hello,

It's not so easy to identify the root cause without having a closer look at debug logs, let's wait for conclusion from our support team.

Thanks!

Understood, thanks. I realise they're on a 'best-effort' on this, hopefully I'll hear back soon as right now it's unfortunately unusable.

Hi there, my case with Veeam support was archived. Might as well close this thread.
