Cannot connect to Virtual Proxy during VMware backup
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
In an Administrator Command Prompt run the following commands:
-
diskpart
-
automount disable
-
automount scrub
Example:
More information
Note: If this issue is occuring on Domain Controller which has been configured as a Veeam Proxy, DO NOT perform these steps. Disabling automount on a Domain Controller will cause Application-Aware Processing to fail (http://www.veeam.com/kb1697). It is not advisable to configure a Domain Controller as a Veeam Proxy.
