So, you’re using Application Aware Image Processing functionality, right? May I ask you to verify the credentials that are provided for this option; be sure to specify there an account with local administrator privileges. Also, you might want to connect from any machine to the remote Admin share of the VM in question and later re-run the job again.

Thanks.

Veeam application aware image processing/indexing uses run-time process that is deployed on administrative share and instructs Windows VSS to freeze application prior to snapshot taking. And it’s deleted afterwards, once the backup task is finished.

So, general troubleshooting steps include the following:

1) Ensuring that specified account has required privileges.
2) Trying to connect to remote administrative share from different machine and, then, re-runing the job.

Hope this helps.
Thanks

Do you mean that you wasn’t able to connect to remote administrative share of the VM from different machine, or that after performing the said step the job still keeps failing? Thanks.

This is a root cause of the above mentioned problem that has nothing to with VB&R itself. Because the connection to administrative share of this VM can’t be established, the run-time process can’t be run on it and the AAIP keeps failing.

So, this issue should be addressed first before the indexing functionality can be put into use. Thanks.

Hello Moritz, looks like your Windows 7 VM has some issues with domain authentication. Try to re-join this VM to the domain, should help. Thank you!
