Veeam Backups Stopped after Power Outage

Check your ESXI licensing. Veeam requires a paid version of Esxi or VMWARE blocks API's that Veeam needs to backup

Thanks, already did that nothing has changed with my Licensing and it is a valid paid version. This worked completely fine until my power outage.

Version I have is a paid version of VMWare vCenter Server 6 Essentials- Veeam version is Backup and Replication 9.5

Veeam support is pretty good.. try giving them a shot.

Thanks, my support has expired with them, I will try again but last time was unable to get thru.

so you're using the community edition now are you?

No, I have the Enterprise Plus Edition of the Backup and Replication for Veeam.

Hi

just to know are you able to re-scan all Esxis from Veeam console.. or try to remove and add vCenter again...

PV, A rescan did not work, I am hesitant to remove and reinstall vCenter... I would like that to be a last resort thing, I am not sure how that will affect my environment.

Hi Christopher,
For testing can you remove guest indexing and run the backup?

Mas, I am not exactly sure what you mean by remove the guest indexing?, If this is the Guest Processing section I do not have anything selected in there.

Hi,

you could try, as a test, adding again the vcenter with its IP address

I do that sometimes for ESX hosts :
if you temporary loose your vcenter, and want to backup or replicate connecting directly veeam to an ESX host, without modifying your veeam configuration
ESX host is still in veeam inventory with his name, under vcenter
you can add it again with its ip address, for Veeam it is another object

See if it works
It may help understand what is happeing here, without removing vcenter from veeam

still classic questions :
- is your vsphere license actually correctly set on all your ESX ?
- is your vCSA fine and running ?

Hi christopher..

Veeam backup will take backup through vcenter . As you are not able to re-scan then might be there is any change in ip setting of veeam server  or the user  account  with which you are trying to rescan..

can you pls  check network setting and the user account permission  or you another admin account

No need to re-install vcenter as the vcenter is working fine .

I was able to re-scan with out any issues, now of the IP's have changed and I confirmed that all the permissions are correct.

Ok  Did you test the backup now...

Yes, it still does not work. At the moment I am reinstalling Veeam Backup and Replication to see if that can kick them off again.

can you pls share the screenshot..

What screenshot are you asking for? Right now I am in the middle of reinstalling Veeam but I will provide if it still does not work after that.

installed the latest version of veeam I am still getting the same error

can you plsease share a screenshot for veeam licensing.. and vmware..

what about license use in Veeam? general settings / license / sockets / manage or something like that

what about other logs please ?
at least selecting the VM in stats from your last screenshot
or in C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\backup_job_name

somehow your error must be related to your ESXi license, not being enable, or up to date or whatever

is this VM is created in seperated job..? if yes can you pls show screenshot of job

So, this VM runs in its own job, I have other jobs that have multiple VM's as well and those also do not work. The only backup that is working is my Offsite backup to a cloud repository with my 3rd party data center backing up my Core Productions servers (But not everything)
