Veeam Agent occupies USB stick

Post by NoBackupNoMercy »

Hello everyone,

this is more a kind of a bug report, I'm not asking for help since I've already found a solution.

I'm using Veeam Agent version 6.3.177 on Windows 11 24H2 and have no problem with Veeam in general. But there's a strange side effect on USB sticks: If I try to create a Windows installation stick from an ISO file using the popular software "Rufus", the operation will fail. The error message says: "The drive is used by another process. Please terminate the other process."
Stopping VeeamEndpointBackupSvc temporarily will solve this issue.

Since this is no real big deal and maybe a kind of an edgecase I did not want to steal ressources from Veeam support team.
But maybe this information is helpful for anyone in the future or helps developement of Veeam Agent, since this does not seeam to be an expected behaviour.
