Automatic Power On/Off repository

[piuttostoorbo]

Hi everyone
I have a question about script before/after backup on Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5U4.
I have a Windows Server 2016 VM with Veeam and a Linux server repository on a physical machine. I want that the vm automatically power on repository, do the backup and after power off.
In Edit Backup Job /advanced / Script i flag "run the following script before the job" i put my cmd script

WolCmd.exe "MAc Address" "IP" 255.255.255.0 7

and it works (power on machine)

but the poweroff script doesn't work

plink.exe -batch -pw password user@ip shutdown -h now

If i click on poweroff cmd or use a scheduled task, physical machine correctly poweroff, but if i put on "run after backup" dosen't work.

I have only one user on vm server, i also tried to convert cmd to exe but it's the same

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

The official way is to open a support case... but I'm pretty sure that you will find the answer in one of the job logfiles (c:\programdata\veeam\backup\job name\) and search for the script / plink command

I guess that plink is not in the %path% of the local system account. Did you try the absolute path to plink.exe already?

Best regards,
Hannes

An alternative to shutdown is halt. Since you want to power off the repo you can use : halt -p

thank you so much
I solved by raising the user running the veeam service to administrator
