Restore w Media Recovery ISO - Linux

[awedio]

Hello, pls help out a noob !!

Booting from the recovery iso, the vm get an IP address etc
It also gets a bunch of fingerprint info.

I'm lost here: What do I do with this "fingerprint" info?

[vnikiforov]

Hello, Femi,

The fingerprint info is purely for verifying the SSH host identity if you are connecting to the Recovery Media remotely via SSH - it is informational, you don't enter it anywhere, and the restore works fine without it. Please refer to the official guide

Thanks Vladimir, I guess I was just over-thinking the situation!

Hello, Femi,

I used veeam-recovery-media-13.0.1.404-amd64.iso
It works fine with whatever it shows for the veeamuser password - straight accepted over SSH with putty

Please try restarting the VM and\or use other SSH client.
If the issue persists, please open a case with Veeam support.

Hi Vlad

Restarting the VM fixed the problem.
All is good.
Thank you!
