Hi !

I’m using the extract utility for test all the password of encrypted jobs and it work well. Just a problem when the password contain a double quotes (“).
I pass the good password but it seem that the extract utlity fails when we used password with double quote.

The main command i use is that one : .\Extract.exe -dir $full_dir -password $mdp

I got the error message “Password is incorrect”

obviously I already have verified the password and he is correct.

 

Does anyone have an idea ? or do i have to change all the password that contain a double quote ?

In my opinion a double quote is not an ideal character for passwords…

Have you tried .\Extract.exe -dir $full_dir -password ‘$mdp’  (single quotes) ?

Hi,

Yes i have tried and sadly it’s not working either, in my opinion it’s just a special character and it should work like in other Veeam software

I tried other tips for escape the special character but it’s not working

Then I think you should open a support case.

Perhaps Veeam can provide a patch for the extract utility, if they think this is an issue….

Typically that is a special character not to use in passwords and Veeam will more than likely recommend changing but might also be able to help.

Have you tried doubling the quote in the password and that the complete password is enclosed in quotes as well?
