Hello

Since the last patch for 7.0U2, on many backup (but not all) I have this error

Error: The specified type was not recognized: name='VirtualWDT', namespace='urn:vim25', at <device xmlns='urn:vim25'>.

Thanks for help

Can you please open a support case and upload logs?

vim25 is related to file processing. For example if you can reach the ESXi host but not all services.

Are you talking about errors reported in backup server? If so, have you installed the latest cumulative patch that adds vSphere 7.0 U2 support? Thanks!

Hi

Ticket is opened

BUT -huge one
I did a restore of a copy of the Windows with Veeam to 11.0.0.837. It work flawlessly against the same ESXI-vCenter. Issue is on veeam side IMHO.

Can you please share ticket number here for reference?

Devs are confirming that WSDL that contains these types was rebuilt in the patch, so the bug is possible indeed.

[stanthewizzard]

So ... I need to wait for a patch in this case ?
Or is there a way to have Veeam works ?
thanks

[Gostev]

You will need to work with support to find the answers to these questions

All I'm saying is, this relevant code was "touched" in the patch - so a regression is a possibility. However, the issue could as well be caused by something specific to your environment.
Because if this was a common issue, then I'd expect at least a few other users report the same by now, with the patch downloaded a few thousand times already.

I have this on 2 completly separate environnement.
We will see.
Thank you
