Error & Alert After deleting Backup Copy files ?

Post by albertwt »

Hi People,

Due to the 0 bytes disk space left in my Backup Copy repository drive, I had to delete some of the older Veeam Backup Copy restore points.

Now I get this multiple email alert as below:
Processing PRODORA01-VM Error: File does not exist. File: [K:\Backups\Opera Servers 1\Opera Servers 12016-04-09T193041.vbk]. Agent failed to process method {Stg.OpenRead}.

Maximum retry count reached (5 out of 5)
How to fix this issue so the backup copy can be resumed from tomorrow or the next day ?

Note:

The backup copy is using continuous with 2 backup set, so not using GFS.
I'm using Veeam Backup & Replication 9.0.0.1491 and I have logged the case 01752448.

Right-click the backup copy job and perform an active full.

What point in particular did you delete? Wasn't it a base .vbk the subsequent increments are dependent on, by any chance? Thanks.

Somehow I think I've moved the files from one Backup repository drive to another drive, then I have performed the Rescan Repository.

Why it is still complaining that it cannot be read ?

The reason I did that simply because the drive is full but there are some other disk space in another drive.

You've manually moved the files that are required for the job to proceed. Just make an active full so that it start the chain from scratch.

Foggy, the backup is quite big so is there any other way to continue the backup from where it left before ?
Do I have to do the following steps:

1. Remove the backup from the configuration
2. Migrate to different drive
3. Re-register the backup with Veeam Backup to new Repository location
4. Rescan repository

Yes, you can move the backup to another repository with enough space available and map the job to it. Keep in mind that digests re-calculation will be required after mapping the job to existing backups (i.e. the entire source will be read anyway).
