Backups fail after upgrading server OS

Post by leevan533 »

Hi i am fairly new to Veeam and i need some assistance. We recently upgraded OS from 2008 to 2012 on our file server and ever since backups are failing with error :

Error: VDDK operation timed out: Open
Failed to open disk for read.
Failed to upload disk.
Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}.

I've logged a support call and the tech who is assisting sent some registry entries to increase the timeout amount. Other than that i have just been sending logs for the past two weeks and we haven't found a resolution yet.

When i backup over Network all seems fine but it takes a very long time to complete. When on direct it reads disc 1 and disc 4. Disc 2 and 3 wont read and ends up timing out causing the job to fail.

I am extremely desperate and will appreciate any help.

Which Windows version do you have on VBR? Are there any other VMs that are also Windows 2012?

Thanks!
