Add-VBRBackupRepository : failed to connect installer service

[Leo0601]

Hi Experts,

I am trying to create veeam repository in Veeam 12 via powershell, I am getting the below error.
"Add-VBRBackupRepository : [domain.name.net] failed to connect installer service.

Below is my code. Could someone please help to fix this issue

$repo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Default Backup Repository"
Add-VBRBackupRepository -Folder D:\IMS_VM_BACKUP -Type WinLocal

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards
Leo

Hi Leo,

The error response is not expected, and sounds like there's some issue preventing a connection to the Installer Service -- this handles Veeam's management of the services/components.

Regrettably, it won't be possible to troubleshoot why it cannot connect over the forums, so please open a Support Case as noted when creating a topic. Be sure to include logs for Support to review. (Use the 3rd radio button to export from hosts, select the Veeam server itself to export logs from)

As a sanity check though, can you please rescan the Repository in question; does it also produce an error during rescan?

Hi Leo,

The first troubleshooting step you can do from your side is to update your Windows backup server (that is added as a managed one in your VBR console) through Powershell once again as Installer service is deployed in scope of a server (Windows or Linux) update/add:

Code: Select all

$server = Get-VBRServer -Type Local
Set-VBRWinServer -Server $server
Add-VBRBackupRepository -Folder 'C:\Backup' -Type WinLocal

Try this and open a support case if it doesn't help.

Best regards,
Oleg
