I am a first time Veeam customer trying to set up a new test environment using a trial license in hopes to purchase it.
I have one physical HPE server that is running the Veeam VSA installed from the latest ISO file. This is the only backup repository. I have a second physical HPE server that is running Windows Server 2022. This has a tape drive connected to it. This also is the windows mount server. I also have a laptop that I’m using just for management purposes with the console installed. I have a third physical server with Hyper-V on it. I was having no issues backing it up but I created a new virtual machine with 2 large disks for testing and pointed it at the VSA iso file and during install chose the Veeam Enterprise Manager option. I am not totally certain but believe this is what broke backups for me. Now when I try to backup any of the virtual machines on this Hyper-V server I get an error “Unable to detect the VBR BIOS UUID. This error likely appears because the Veeam Software Appliance cannot be added to backups jobs to protect itself.” I have since deleted that VM but still cannot back up any of the other standard windows VMs on that host. I have removed that physical server from VBR and even uninstalled the agent and all components and reinstalled everything. I still get the same error. Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.
