SharePoint Backup Warning Failed to request file versions for item/User Not Found

Post by lv426 »

Veeam Case# 03532941

This is the warning message being received for a recent backup operation:

Processing site https://link.edgepilot.com/s/7dd43697/T ... point.com/ finished with warning: Failed to request file versions for item /BODFiles/YY. BOD General Information/OA BOD Handbook/OA/Tab 14 Succession Plan Guidelines.pdf from list BODFiles (listId: 11fb6347-b63d-4ebd-aada-22f34d945cf0, itemId: 4825, exception: User cannot be found.)
Mailbox
Dataverse Sync Application User Email Account

I have searched online and didn't find much pertaining to the cause of error. I am hoping someone on here will be able to point me in the right direction.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, are you possibly referring to case number 07577533? As what you provided above is not a valid case ID.

If yes, then I see it was created just a few hours ago... please give our Support a chance to work on your issue.

Also, in future please do not cross post your support cases here immediately after creating as this is not a support forum. For more details, please refer to the very first paragraph of the forum rules (the link to them are also displayed when you click New Topic). In particular, they explain at which point you should post your issue here on the R&D forums.

Thank you!

P.S. Support engineers usually require debug logs for troubleshooting technical issues, so in future I recommend that you provide them immediately while opening a support case. Otherwise you will waste some time only to hear from them that they need you to provide debug logs.

The file or site has been checked out by a user that no longer exists. You have to check this in again and then you get rid of the warning, at least that was the solution for me.
