Veeam Backup for Office 365 V5 Show stopping bug

Morning Guys,

 

So like a lot of you we’ve been playing with Veeam Backup for Office 365 v5 and deploying the updates on our services and for our customers, we’re catching a bug fairly frequently that is having major consequences. The Veeam Repository isn’t able to upgrade, which is a requirement for the subsequent backups to run, causing immediate backup issues. We’ve engaged with Veeam support and been informed that there’s a hotfix, but that hotfix has also caused issues it appears and jobs are still failing to run. Just wanted to advise prior to everyone upgrading their productions, it might be worth waiting for a few more days…

 

Thanks!

Sorry to hear about the issues @MicoolPaul, thank you for taking the time to let us know. Could you post an update once you have a workaround?

Will do, I wanted to avoid muddying the waters until we have a definitive answer from Veeam Support but currently Veeam Support are insisting on using certificates for authentication now. Prior to this they wanted us to re-create all our backup jobs which as a service provider would be extensively time consuming. I’ll update this as more develops.

Thanks for posting! I’m also looking forward on your updates. 

Currently I only have deployed it in a fresh lab so I don’t know how well the upgrade goes in production environments.

Yesterday a new patch has been released: VBO 5a Cumulative Patch KB4078

@MicoolPaul: Did you see those JET errors and did the patch solve your problems?

I can confirm it is resolved, well done Veeam for chasing up the GA with a patch so quickly!
