Solution
VBRCatalog Location Requirements
- The VBRCatalog folder must be at the root of a given drive letter.
Example: C:\VBRCatalog\ or D:\VBRCatalog\
- If the original location of the VBRCatalog is missing, create a new VBRCatalog folder in the root of an available drive, and skip Step 3 below.
The following steps are to be performed on the server where Veeam Backup & Replication is installed.
- Make sure all jobs are stopped and disabled.
- Stop all Veeam services

- Select the new folder path to where the VBRCatalog was moved
- On the next page of the wizard name the share VBRCatalog
- On "Shared Folder Permissions" page select [Customize permissions]
- Remove "Everyone"

Note: the Location selected when specifying Administrators must be the Veeam Server, not the domain.
