VeeamON 2024 - Use Code "COMMUNITY10" for 10% Off!
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.
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
