Challenge
Attempting to connect via RDP to a Veeam Proxy VM in VMware during a Virtual Appliance (hot-add) backup fails.
Cause
This occurs due to a hung backup job utilizing that specific proxy, and that proxy is not configured to have automount disabled.
Solution
Starting version 10 of Veeam Backup & Replication, when a VMware Backup Proxy running Microsoft Windows uses Virtual Appliance (HOTADD) Transport mode, automount is disabled.
In an Administrator Command Prompt run the following commands:
-
diskpart
-
automount disable
-
automount scrub
