— Veeam Agent failure "service suddenly stopped working"

[mashme]

Case #05304174

I use Windows 10 21H2 with Veeam 5.0.1.4584 and also installed 5.0.2.4680.
Both version show failure "service suddenly stopped working" in the control panel.
The failure occured 2 hours after a successful incremental backup without any identifiable reason.

I followed https://www.veeam.com/kb1959
The "Veeam Agent" service is up and running, a restart of the service does not help.
Deactivated Defender Firewall und Antivirus does not bring a change.

Multiple de- and reinstallation with following windows restarts, produces the same failure message.

This thread veeam-agent-for-windows-f33/veeam-agent ... 52853.html
points to a corrupted sql database. Therefore I deinstalled the MS SQLServer 2012 Express LocalDB, but the failure persists.
I am at loss now, any hint is appreciated!

Can't be without backup for long and quickly made a bare metal restore and the problem is solved.
