Backup Error: multiple connections

Post by lanzia »

Hello all,

Test jobs of individual backups worked well but now I try to backup the entire cluster the job fails.
I looked at the log and noticed the following error:

Code: Select all

Error    Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again   at Veeam.Backup.UI.Repository.CStorageInvestigator.Investigate()
Im using a CIFS share on a NAS.

How can I solve this?

Kind regards

Alex

Have you maybe mounted the CIFS share as local drive on the Veeam server via windows explorer (connect network drive as letter X:) ? You probably need to disconnect all mounted drive so Veeam can connect to that share.

Or you have just browsed your share on your server which will leave the connection open. Just open a command prompt and type "net use". There you should see all your connected shares. Close the corresponding one by using "net use <driveletter> or <\\path_to_share> /delete".
