Import configuration not working

[anthonycogswell]

Trying to import a config doing an unattended install.

If I use a common file exported from a server that is working the import will not work with the following error.

E:\veeam>"C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.Agent.Configurator.exe" -import /f:"E:\veeam\configuration.xml"
ExitCode: 50

Errors:
Failed to perform the operation.
Invalid job configuration: This type of schedule is not supported.

I can export and import the config on the same server and it works fine. Just not able to use in a deployment model to multiple machines.

Hi Anthony,

I believe you need to install a license key first, as the error message states that the issues is in scheduling options. These options are more advanced in the server edition, that's why importing this config to a FREE/workstation backup agent does not work.

Thanks!

Steps for my unattended.

Install Veeam:
%~dp0VeeamAgentWindows_2.0.0.700.exe /silent /accepteula
Installs without error

Install License
"C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\veeam.Agent.Configurator.exe" -license /f:"%~dp0veeam_agent_windows_subscription_0.lic" /s
License installs without error

Import Config
"C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.Agent.Configurator.exe" -import /f:"%~dp0130configuration.xml"
Error code 50

Does it work when you choose a workstation based job configuration?

[anthonycogswell]

Just did the same steps but with the workstation "/w" with the same error.

I would suggest to check one more step before contacting our support team > does the backup agent accept the license key you install? Can you check it via its UI?

[anthonycogswell]

It does accept it. It connects back to a B&R server now and data is going to a data domain. I have 6 machines backing up now and need to do another 40. Was hoping the unattended install along with SCCM was going to make this easy.

Anthony-
When you exported the configuration was the config based on a server schedule / license or workstation? Server and Workstation have different scheduling options, so when you import the key with the /s you specify server and maybe the config you're importing is not a server-based config?

Invalid job configuration: This type of schedule is not supported.

Error indicates that you are trying to import the job configuration that has a mismatch with enabled edition. Try to configure one agent running in server edition manually, then export configuration, modify access account if required (or use /u /p commands during import) and try to import config back. If that works, then all the settings specified correctly and match the edition.
