[Restore Point existence] No valid restore point found

Post by planb »

Hi everyone, I'm setting VBRO for the first time. I created VM tags, and chose a "restore" plan to restore to the original location.
All the VMs fail with "[Restore Point existence] No valid restore point found", even though I know they have restore points in the past 24 hours.
I tried other plans, but I believe this is the restore I am looking for. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong to set this up. Is there any walkthrough or video you could recommend that I watch to make sure I have the right setup? So far the setup seems really complicated but I'd really like to understand what I am doing wrong.

What I'd like is to test our restores either to our production vSphere or disaster recovery site vSphere center from the latest backups at least once a month.

Hello, and welcome to the Veeam R&D forums!

First I would recommend you upgrade to VRO (Orchestrator) version 7 which was just released yesterday - it does have a lot of improvements to simplify UI and configuration tasks. Just download the Veeam Data Platform ISO from our downloads page.

Regarding your problem - If you are using a remote Veeam Backup server to protect those VMs (not the one co-installed on the VRO server), then you have to deploy the VRO agent to the Backup server. Is the VRO agent deployed to VBR and healthy? You can see this in the VRO web UI, in Administration\Orchestrator Agents.

That should be enough to recover VMs to Original Location. If you want to restore to your DR location, then you need to create a Recovery Location in Orchestrator, that contains the target vSphere hosts, datastores, networks and so on. Choosing that location when you execute your plan will recover your VMs to the DR site.

Hope that helps, any further questions please let us know.

Thanks!

Hi Alec,

Thanks for your response.

I'll try to upgrade to version 7. Right now its giving me an upgrade error for the license.
"The license file is not valid". So I started a support ticket.

The Veeam Orchestrator Agents section says my VBR server is in Status "Healthy". It is on an older server version though.
VBR version - 11.0.1.1261
Orchestrator version - 12.0.0.1420

I'll check out those other steps for the Recovery location once I get this working.

Thanks!
