Veeam SQL restore issue to Hyper-V guest

Veeam Support have replied to my query.  As it turns out, SQL restores via PSDirect are not supported.  Disappointing. 😕See Considerations and Limitations > Restore section here:https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/explorers/vesql_considerations.html?ver=110

Veeam SQL restore issue to Hyper-V guest

Thanks for the replies guys.@Iams3le  I’ve double-checked those suggestions, everything is as expected.  I considered a potential firewall issue as I spotted a port issue when running a similar SQL backup using PSDirect when the VMs were running in a 3rd DC, but in this case there is no firewall between the VBR servers and the Hyper-V cluster by design, despite being in different DCs (we’ve a private 100G fibre circuit between them and chose to use it to avoid firewall bottlenecks).  Regarding event logs, unfortunately I can only seen entries for the backup when it runs, none for the restore attempt.  Maybe the Veeam log files are better but again they don’t seem to change when I attempt a SQL restore.  Maybe I’m looking at the wrong files.@MicoolPaul  You make a good point and I appreciate the difference having considered it more.  It’s interesting to note that file-level restores are working when restored directly to the VM, which kind of supports your point re SQL data specifically.
