Challenge
vSphere 6.5 backup/replication jobs may hang forever if you’re using Windows Server 2008 R2 (or Windows 7) backup proxies.

Cause
OpenSSL DLLs required by VDDK 6.5 fail to load correctly due to a Side-By-Side conflict related to MSVC runtime libraries.
Solution
To resolve the issue, download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package on every Windows Server 2008 R2 used by Veeam as a proxy server (including Veeam server itself, if applicable).
More information
This is planned to be resolved in a future Veeam Backup & Replication update.
