Problem with a cloned BackServer

Post by jmai »

Hello,

we had to clone our Veeam backupserver since tthe cloning the Backupjob of the new server show in the job the name of the old one. This situation brings us to a failure with the involved copyjob
The one who failed has the error message:
Unable to determine the source backup file chain to use: multiple backups with the same instance ID exist in the specified sources for this Backup Copy job.

We have already removed the Agent from the new (cloned) server and removed the job. But without a result. There must be a place where he still get the old servername but we cant find it.

Regards...

Could you please elaborate on the issue a bit? Do I understand right that you:

- Have cloned the Veeam B&R server itself.
- Looking at the job that backs the Veeam B&R server itself you now see the old name of the Veeam B&R server.

Hello,

yes, we have cloned our Veeam B&R Server while we had Agentbackup and Cloudbackup runing on this. With the new version we cant run both on the same server so we cloned him. Now we have one server for Agentbackup(1) and one for Cloudbackup(2).
The Cloudbackupserver is the result of the cloning, we changed there the name and included him with a agent backup on the other server. But when we look at server 1 in the job of the server 2, there is always standing that the name is still the one from the server 1.
The result is that we cant include him on our BackupCopy job.

I hope you can understand better our problem.

You'd better reach our support team and let them correct product db, chances are, there are still stalled references (result of server cloning). Thanks!

Hello,

ive searched the whole MSSQL DB for the wrong servername, but nothing found. Ive also exported the veeam Agent config, but also nothing wrong there.
So any idea where the references can be?

It might be referenced by Id, not by name, so, please, reach our support team for further investigation. Thanks!
