Can't Access Respoitory Since 01/01/2018

[bob.baird.xedo]

Hello,

Since the turn of the year, any backup I take to the default backup repository completes successfully, but I am unable to view the backup via Exchange Explorer - the only backups available for me to "explore" are those that were take before 01/01/2018.

I have a case open and this is currently being investigated, but I just wonder if anyone else has happened upon this issue?

My case number is 02455531


Thanks,
Bob

Bob,

Are you at the latest version (1.5)? Did you look at this KB? https://www.veeam.com/kb2412

Please keep working with our engineers and keep us informed about the progress

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply.

I already installed that hotfix and I am using 1.5.0.1309 of Veeam Backup for O365 as well as 1.0.0.1309/1308 of Explorer for Exchange.

Further to my last email, it would appear that everything works as you would expect for any new repository that is created - it just seems to be an issue with the repositories that were in place prior to 01/01/2018.


Regards,
Bob

Hi Mike,

I will indeed keep you updated once I hear back from your engineer, although sadly (and very unusually), the response to my support request has been far from satisfactory on this occasion I have to say.

Hopefully I'll get work back before the end of the day.


Regards,
Bob

Ive had a similar issue since new year, im using v1.5 too and i use a rotated repo. Every time we rotate the drive i get a failure to find the storage path and a jet io error, the only workaround is to recreate the repo.

I did create a ticket but i closed it as i thought the issue was resolved by recreating the repo, but didnt realise it would happen again on the 2nd drive.

Has there been a solution to this issue of storage errors since new years day?

Hi JK,

The case is still open and is being investigated further. I would advise you to create also a case again, point to the previous one and say it didn't solve. The thing what scares me though is a rotated repository? That is not a supported repository under VBO as it is not the same as a VBR repository. A VBO repository is a running database so I have no idea how you got that running in the first place to be honest.

It worked all the time in v1.

Did you already create a support case?

Hello Everyone,

I have received word back from the engineer that this is a "known" issue (https://www.veeam.com/kb2412) however this is not exactly the same issue I'm having.

If I create a new backup job today and successfully save to the default repository (c:\veeamrepository), I cannot browse this backup. However, I have created a new repository (c:\temp\veeamrespoitory) and upon successful completion of the very same backup job, I can browse the backup.

Most strange.

[Mike Resseler]

Did you tell the engineer that you already installed the hotfix?

[bob.baird.xedo]

Yes. In fact, just checking back on my email communication with him, he pointed me in the direction of that hotfix and I told him I had already installed it. I believe my issue is completely different.

My workaround is as folllows:

After all my backup jobs have completed, I run a small mailbox backup that is being saved to the new repository I have created i.e. c:\temp\veeamrepository.

I cannot browse the individual backup jobs as last backup date in Explorer is showing as 31/12/2017, but I can select the top level organization, which allows me to open the mailboxes based on the last successful backup date/time of my test backup.

[Mike Resseler]

Please keep this case open and escalate if necessary. The workaround can help you today but should remain a workaround.
