Case ID: 06415946
Hello Veeam Community,
I have the following problem I have been trying to get Veeam Backup & Replication 12 Community Edition to run for a week. Background we have 5 VM machines and I can't get the DC to backup. It aborts after 24 hours with the error message "14.11.2023 14:31:09 :: Processing DC01 Error: VSSControl: Failed to prepare guest for freeze, wait timeout 88081 sec ". Unfortunately, our DC is very large in the past when I was not yet there, an IT company had an SQL server on the DC and used it as a file server, so it is also 1.3 TB in size.
Can you help me?

Re: Problem with Veeam Backup Replication and our DC
Sounds like your VSS writers are not able to quiesce the services to allow a backup. You can check into vssadmin commands and see if you have any hung vsswriters (or reboot your VM).
Start digging into that to see what may be causing the VSS writers to engage. You could always turn off application-aware processing (but that's not going to give you anything more than a crash-consistent backup) to at least have something backed up while you troubleshoot the VSS writers issue.

Hello Ömer
Thank you for the case number. Contacting our support team is the correct way to solve a technical issue.
You may check the VSS and MSSQL logs of your DC server. I assume, VSS takes a long time with the MSSQL server.

https://www.veeam.com/kb2041 --> Basic VSS troubleshooting
Please continue with our customer support team to find a solution to the issue. We cannot provide effective troubleshooting assistance over this forum.
MSSQL recommendations:

You may want to consider splitting the File server and SQL server from the DC server. It's bad practice to run additional applications on the DC controller.Unfortunately, our DC is very large in the past when I was not yet there, an IT company had an SQL server on the DC and used it as a file server, so it is also 1.3 TB in size.
