Failed to connect to the backup server localhost.

I would check the logs here - C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup and if nothing seems to stand out, then open a support ticket as this message could be various things as I am sure there is no one specific solution.

have you tried putting the FQDN or IP of the backup server? I’ve had this before and some of the services were still starting. If this doesn’t work open a case with support as Chris suggested. 

hi ​@manuel2711 have you used a DOMAIN Administrator during installation to start the services? 

Hello

 

Im very new to Veeam and i installed on a server Veeam Backup and Replication. Now i get this error message: (it never worked)

 

 

I read that the API Service needs to be started, but this is not working and an error occurs.

 

 

Also its not possible do uninstall the Veeam Software with the Error → Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. It is the adiminstrator user.

 

The new Update i was able to install but also after this update from march i get the same error message.

 

Does anyone have a idea how i can fix this issue?

Ensure that the service is running under the correct account or local system service. 
If it is configured to run under a user account, verify that the user has the required permissions.
If none of the above resolves the issue, apply the standard remediation step: restart the reboot the system.

​@kciolek Yes i tried the IP also it doesnt working.

​@Andanet Yes it is a Domain Administrator.

​@Jason Orchard-ingram micro All Services run with local system and i did already several reboots.

​@Chris.Childerhose In the Logs i get this error messages in the attachment

I think i will create a support ticket to resolve this with the support. Thanks for the answers.

I’m sorry to hear that. Yes, I would open a case with support. 

Let us know how you make out.

I think support is the best route to get it resolved.  Let us know what they say.

Hey ​@manuel2711 in your log file I notice 2 different issues:

• [WindowsServiceLifetime] Failed to start service. → this is a .NET issue
• Unable to find distributive veeam-openssl3-*.rpm (System.Exception) → this is a linux package issue

So I don’t know your istaller version but you can try using latest version, but I remember an issue for Restful API related. 

Please run the following command in an elevated PowerShell prompt:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control" -Name ServicesPipeTimeout -Value 60000 -Type DWord

and reboot your VBR server.

This changes the service start timeout to 60 seconds.

Let me know what happens.
