Invoke failed. Command: 'ReFs.SetFileIntegrity'

[TommySharp]

I'm setting up a new NAS at home and am trying to set my Windows 10 machine to backup to the new UNC path.

I just keep getting this error, I've uninstalled and re-installed.... Reset the backup database but just having no luck
Any help would be appreciated....

Case # 02399223

[TommySharp]

I'm not having issues with a Windows 7 machine I also just upgraded to v2....

[gollem]

What type of NAS device are you running Tommy and has your issue been resolved?

I'm running into the same type of issue, I'm not sure where the issue is coming from. I'm running a netgear readynas OS version 6.9.0. (although my jobs ran succesfull after the upgrade, so i;m not sure if the readynas is the culprit here)

Windows 10 proxy.

Thanks!

This seems to be an issue with Veeam, it looks like veeam is realasing a hotfix for it.

[Dima P.]

In case of Netgear storage I recommend updating Veeam Agent for Windows to the latest 2.1 version (released today). Version 2.1 contains the mentioned fix.

[gollem]

My issue wasn't with the Windows Agent but with Backup an Recovery,

As suggested here: veeam-backup-replication-f2/any-closer- ... 41-45.html
I've added a REG_DWORD (32-bit) with the name UseCifsVirtualSynthetic  and a data value of 0 to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication\ on our Veeam server, restarted the veeam backup service and its working like a charm.

[Dima P.]

Erik,

Indeed, Veeam B&R U3 contains the mentioned reg key which should solve this problem at B&R side. Thanks for sharing!

[RickAtET]

Thank you for your post. You suggested solution worked for me on my new Windows Server 2016 installation.

I've added a REG_DWORD (32-bit) with the name UseCifsVirtualSynthetic and a data value of 0 to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication\ on our Veeam server, restarted the veeam backup service and its working like a charm.

I can complete backups now. Much appreciated....

[cornwella]

Sorry for the thread necromany, but I've had this happen to me on a Netgear ReadyNAS on firmware 6.10.1 using Veeam B&R 9.5 Update 4. I had to add the mentioned registry keyword, otherwise all of our backups would fail with the error mentioned in the OP. So for anyone running into this, it still works in 2019

[messiah1095]

Same setup as cornwella (although we are on 2016) and can confirm the registry entry fixed our issue as well.

[michael.wilson]

I have a Netgear ReadyNAS on firmware 6.9.5 using Veeam B&R 9.5 Update 4
Backing up Windows server 2019 and other VMs from a backup server running Windows 10 Pro 1809... same issue:
Error: Incorrect function. Agent failed to process method {ReFs.SetFileIntegrity}.
I used the registry fix:
add a REG_DWORD (32-bit) with the name UseCifsVirtualSynthetic and a data value of 0 to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication\

Restarted the backup server and it worked fine, if a bit slower than expected.

[DataBoy]

Confirming that this works (and is required) with Netgear 6.9.5 hotfix 1, with Community Edition 9.5

[fmacondray]

Registry edit worked for me as well.

[KLinville]

What is this registry key actually doing? Is this an issue with ReFS formatting of the repository?

Update: Reformatting the repository as ReFS corrected the issue for me.

Thanks a lot, I was having this issue and this worked for me!

Confirming that this adding this registry DWORD fix worked 2/22/2022 on my Synology Rackstation RS818+ when trying to back up to a USB drive attached to the NAS.

[sweetasman01]

Confirming that this adding this registry DWORD fix worked 30 March 2022 on my Synology RS920+ running DSM 7.0.1-42218 Update 3when trying to backup 4TB from a Hyper-V server running Windows Server 2016.
