Hi,
I have a backup copy job which runs forever. There are two VMs and I see the backup copy is backing up the hard disk with no progress.
How do I best troubleshoot it and I don’t see an option to cancel the job. I use VBR 12.1. I believe in earlier version it was possible to cancel a job. I use the immediate copy mode.
Thanks,
Edy
Hi
Logs for jobs in VBR are in the C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\<job-name>.log file location. I’d start there. May be best to ping Veeam Support. You should be able to cancel a job by rt-clicking and selecting “Stop”. You can choose either ‘immediate’ or ‘graceful’.
Hi
Ok...understood.
You can stop the Veeam Backup Service. This will also close the Veeam Console so best to close it before doing so.
BTW...stopping the Service will stop all Jobs so make sure no others are running.
Thanks - yes I know about the stopping the service. I’m wondering what is the reason why stopping the job is unavailable.
Not sure. Don't think it's a Community Edition thing. You could ping Product Mgrs over at the Forums to check.
As it’s a copy job, which is permanent active or lets say on standby, you should have the option to disable the job, isn’t it?
Disabling doen't stop it while running though. Just prevents the Job from running at the next scheduled time to run.
Yes I can disable the job - I believe a NFR license is fully functional and I asked the question for “stop session” in the R&D forum.
Can you share a screenshot of when it is taking up forever ?
Disabling doen't stop it while running though. Just prevents the Job from running at the next scheduled time to run.
Yes, sorry, missed that thing. Thanks Shane
Okay I find this in my log for the backup copy job for a VM, which has no progess since hours. It is in the task log. Another VM which is stuck as well has the same entries in the task log.
Stuck at action Hard Disk
Any idea? Is it my VMware environment? it’s ESXi 8.0.1. with Vcenter 8.0.3.
Thanks,
Edy

Hello,
Do you use VBR 12.1.2.172 build ? This is the minimal version to support vcenter 8u3.
Yes, I do
Firewall between backup repository and backup copy repository ?
What are your both repositories ? Are they on the same network ?
Does it work if you try to do a backup to your backup copy repository ?
Okay - I did a full backup (not copy) to my backup copy respository. It ran sucessfully. I only backed up the VM which have problems with the backup copy job.
So - I think my backup copy repsitory is okay and the VM also. I narrow it down to the backup copy job. Yesterday I created a new one and it has the same problem.
