Backup is freezing with more then 1 job

[she]

The B&R server is running as a vm on a Win7x64 4GB RAM 4vCPU. If there are more then 1 Repl Job running at the same time the Server is freezing for about 5..20s about every minute and at this time
ping is lost , console access is no more working and sometimes the repl Jobs crashes with errors. CPU load on this server is about 25..50%.

Any advise ?

ok thanks
I updated to patch3, hope its running better now

I have also one strange thing on a proxy with Win XP, 4vCPU, 2GB RAM
If while backup with hotadd Hdd are mounted I see a lot of windows error messages pop up, like
Cant read SystemVolumeInformation on drive f:\...... Maybe File is damaged or not readable..
So it looks like windows tries to do something with this hotadd disk, not nice
Is there something what I can do ?

Do you probably see the behavior described in this thread? If this is the case, then please review existing suggestions and if you still have any questions, please continue posting there. Thanks!

So in the moment with patch3 four repl jobs are running parallel and and it seems to be without errors, but I will see it the next days.
Error was not on every job run.
I think I have not the same problem like descripted in the link, but my second proxy is a clone of the first proxy with SID change
So I think I will change to a fresh Win7 install for the second proxy the next days

Tonight both proxy server and the backup server are crashing, so I cant access them with vsphere. I had to reboot my esx server.
I had a lot of hotadd disks still mounted to both proxy and the backup server, so I had to remove this disk manuelly
Also I see a lot of hdd problems with the hotadd hdds in the eventlog off the proxies.
ex. source : ftdisk, eventid: 57 The data could mot be moveds to transaction protokoll, Maybe data is defective
or
source: PlugandPlayManager: Eventid: 12: Dis was removed from system without......

So I Think Win XP is not realy compatible as proxy with hotadd ? Is there anyone who is using xp as proxy with hotadd ?

It is, unless you are not running Windows XP prior to SP3 (SP3 is a requirement, this is covered in documentation). If all the requirements are met, I think it's time to provide your logs to the support team for investigation.

It was xp sp3, so I will see what support says

How much memory are you using in this Veeam Server? I've seen many problems in the central server when running with unfair amount of memory. Most of our small problems we are having from time to time get solved by upgrading RAM on the Veeam Server. And in this case, using an XP machine can put you in trouble when trying to go over 3 Gb of ram...

Each xp proxy had 2G vRAM and 4 vCPU, I think this should be enough, I couldnt see any RAM Problem.
Backupserver is Win7 x64 with 4GB RAM and 4 vCPU.

I changed now both proxies to Win7 x64 with "GB RAM and 4 vCPU. In the moment jobs are running and I could not see any Problem.
so let s wait a few days, but I think that one Problem is that xp cannot disable automount and get trouble with this hotadd hdds.
On new Win7 proxy I disabled automount before installing proxy software

[she]

So I think its fixed.
Changed the proxies from XP to win7 was the solution.
No more problems with hotadd, so XP as proxies is not realy working
