Backup to share fails after upgrade to v6 : "Access denied"

Post by FROGGYJ »

I have a vcenter 5 environment running ESXi 5.0 on the hosts with VMFS3 datastores and ever since upgrading to version 6 I have received the following error on all backup jobs.

12/3/2011 7:33:24 PM :: PrepStorageForWriteEx failed '\\server\path\vm.vbk'
Client error: Access is denied
Failed to create or open file [\\server\path\vm.vbk].

The backup jobs are SAN mode jobs with VMware tool quiesce disabled. Has any experienced this issue?

Hi Justin, it looks like you did not follow the upgrade procedure from the Release Notes document included with your download. Specifically, step 6 of the Veeam Backup & Replication Server upgrade procedure.
If your CIFS shares require authentication, edit settings for each backup repository manually, and enter share credentials before running the jobs.
Thanks.

Hello!
I had the same problem on one of my backup (Veeam 6.1.0.180).
Reboot veeam server resolve the problem. It is a problem of locked file (I don't know if it's Veeam or Windows that's lock the file...)

Bye bye
