--vdisk_corrupted SOLVED

[skirsch]

My backups kept hanging and the logs said "--vdisk_corrupted"

To solve the hang, you have to go into Windows Task Manager and kill all the Veeam processes. That's the only way to recover.

The vdisk corrupted error is caused by a bad sector on your SSD or hard drive.

Use chkdsk c: /r /scan
to repair your disk.

I had to do this about 5 times (which really surprised me; I had expected one and done).

Once the disk is clean from a chkdsk point of view, the backup will work.

Tried reporting this to tech support, but no resources for free users.

I hope this saves someone hours of troubleshooting.

Hello,

I saw I had some bad sectors in a computer here with Windows event log. Didn't think it would mess up the backup. This worked for me, good post.


Thanks.
