Issues uninstalling Version 5 to upgrade to V6

Post by juz_far »

Apologies if I'm doubling up. I posted this yesterday but that post appears to have vanished (not sure what happened there).

I'm attempting to upgrade to V6 but am having issues with the V5 removal. I get the following error when I attempt to uninstall V5 B&R

Error 1606. Could not access network location /VeeamBackup_hostname

It appears that this is an NFS datastore that I had configured in the past but it has been removed. I can't find any information on the error being experianced before but if anyone has any more information to assist that would be greatly appreciated.

OS = Windows Server 2008 R2 (Virtual Machine)

thanks

AFter much troubleshooting and soul searching I found the issue.

Turns out someone had modified the registry and changed the defaulNFSlocation in the Veem configuration to /Veeambackup_CEQVEEAM01. :evil:

A reinstall of Veeam 5 didn't resolve or reset the registry, had to be changed manually.

Once I reset this back to the default location c:\program data\veaam\nfs the uninstall worked without issue.

All fixed.
