Automatic Retries

Post by bransoj »

Hi

We have a machine being backed up via Veeam Endpoint Backup on version 1.5 which cannot be updated due to some legacy machine and connectivity issues. Generally its working fine and backs up first time with no issues. There have however been a couple of times recently where its failed and then constantly retried every 10 mins with failures and an email notification each time. I've looked through the Veeam client on the machine and cannot see anyway of configuring the number of retries, how it retries etc so when this has happened we've just cancelled the job for that day and wait to see what happens the following day when in the main its worked fine with no changes needed.

Is there a way of configuring these retry attempts at all via the registry etc?

Hello,

You should be able to set the retry in the Job configuration:

You are right, the screenshot was from Server Edition.

Jon,

Veeam Endpoint Backup 1.5 works in free mode which means that retries are enabled by default. Job will start a retry cycle in case of an error automatically.
