I have installed and got a trial key for Veeam Availability suite 9.0

I spun up a vm and put this on there on this is on there

I have uninstalled and reinstalled 2 times still getting this message:

In the last part of the article it mention turning on the veeam backup service before I uninstalled and reinstalled the veeam backup service was listed in service but now its not even listed??

Any Ideas I filed a ticket but you know how that goes.

That could be related to your SQL instance not being started or available

I’ve seen this issue before while trying to use SQL Express. We installed standard and had no issues. Sorry this isn’t a straight forward resolution.

Sql Server VeeamSQL2012 is started

The sql Server Veeam Agent is not started when I try to start that I get this message

What next ??

If this is a different server from where Veeam product is installed, make sure port 1433 is open on your SQL box as Veeam is unable to connect to it. Services can also take 10 minutes to start depending on the system, give them a little time then try again

This is install on the same machine

Express or full?

I would stop all Veeam services, then stop SQL.

Now start SQL, wait 5 minutes then start Veeam services, now again, wait 5 minutes and try it

If this doesn’t work, look in event viewer for clues

The sql installed was installed by the veeam software along with the .net

I think this is simply a timing thing, you need to let it bed in, especially if the VM is a low spec or on a slow machine, if you have any type of software whitelisting policies or HIPS systems, make sure they are not stopping this

still didn’t work thanks for you help

11

How come the veeam backup service isn’t even showing up in the services like it did when I first installed the program the first time around?

12

I can’t answer that, but make sure you are installing it on a supported OS and as noted above, please check event logs

13

I checked the supported OS before I started and it said win 7 pro 64bit was ok its the only one I have a key for .

Here is the only things coming up in EV

Unfortunately my eyes are not that good, is there any specific error relating to connecting to the DB?

15

It looks like the veeam programs are trying to access a sql database row I made it bigger see if that helps

I can see it is complaining about bytes and retrieval of data, but that pasted the same size.

17

Ok I uninstalled everything including .net and sql then reinstalled all started to work I saw a yellow bing and it said to update to update 2 so I did now its doing and showing the same message I started this thread with but the veeam backup service and the sqlveeam service is started

What else to do??

This really shouldn’t be that hard. You spun up a Windows 7 VM. How? Is this an image, or did you install from an ISO? Did you run all the Windows Updates? What’s the hypervisor here? What kind of resources have you allocated to the VM? Sorry if some of this information is above, I’m pretty tired.

19

That’s Ok Sid Phillips:

Win 7 was and ISO on a datastore

No didn’t run all of the windows updates

VMware ESXI 5.0 I know EOL

To the VM resources 80gb hdd space 8 GB memory 2 CPU

I finally got this running and got some jobs started all is working now I am just scared to close it afraid it wont open again.

Is there a certain way to backup a exchange 2013 server vm using the veeam software or just use the defaults like the other server vm backups?

Glad to hear you got it running! I wouldn’t worry about closing it, as near as I can tell, it’s just a thin client. I have not used Veeam to backup Exchange.
