Veeam for Microsoft 365 “Download request retry timeout exceeded” error

Recently we have begun seeing the “Failed to backup item: FILEPATH, Download request retry timeout exceeded” error appear in jobs backing up OneDrive. Recent changes on the Microsoft side have begun preventing OneNote notebooks from being able to be downloaded. This prevents Veeam from being able to request and download the file to backup. We have an active case open with Veeam while they work with Microsoft to resolve this issue. We will update this post once Veeam and Microsoft have provided a public workaround or hotfix. Information on the issue can also be found here in KB4529. For additional assistance, please reach out to Support@Managecast.com.

Veeam Microsoft 365 XML document and Specific SharingMessage type not recognised errors

During early December we began noticing two errors pop up. The messages “There is an error in XML document” and “The specific type was not recognized: name: ‘SharingMessage’” were caused by a minor Microsoft change. The changes were to the structure of the XML message received from M365 referencing the SharingMessageType property received from EWS. This change to the structure was unable to be processed by Veeam when the change occurred. However, Veeam has already pushed out patches to resolve the issue. Here are the two patches provided by Veeam: Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 7.0 Cumulative Patch 7.0.0.4551 (P20231218) Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 7a Cumulative Patch 7.1.0.1401 P20231218. Any newer version downloaded and installed will have the patch included. If you continue to run into any issues, have any questions, or need any other assistance, please reach out to Support@Managecast.com

Veeam Replication Latest Available Restore Point is Already Replicated

The replication warning “Latest available restore point is already replicated” appears when the replication job that’s sourced from a backup/backup copy attempts to run, but there is no new restore point to grab new data from. Here are a few reasons that may cause new data not to be available to replicate: These are some of the most common reasons we find that cause the “already replicated’ warning to occur. Veeam, replication, and virtualization are complex, so there are many reasons this may occur. If you are still seeing the warning pop up, please reach out to Support@Managecast.com for further assistance.

Veeam Backup & Replication v10 and Newer Windows backup proxy is missing C++ runtime components error

Veeam will display the error message “Backup proxy is missing C++ runtime components” for a different reason depending if you are on a current supported version, or an older unsupported version. If you are still running an unsupported version of Veeam (9.5 and older) please see THIS blog post for steps to resolve the C++ issue. For newer versions of Veeam, this issue is caused when the VDDK libraries on the VMware Backup Proxy fail to load. This occurs when the Veeam Transport Service is missing components on the backup proxy. Repairing the Veeam Backup Transport should resolve the error. Before taking the following steps, please ensure no jobs are running. Once the install has finished, you may re-enable your jobs, and retry any job that was reporting the error. This is the most common reason we see the C++ runtime component occurring but may not resolve every C++ error. If you are continuing to experience issues, please contact Support@Managecast.com for further assistance.

Veeam Error “There is not enough space on the disk.”

The generic “There is not enough space on the disk” error message is a fairly common and easy issue to investigate and resolve. The error is caused by the backup repository destination storage running out of space for the backup to run. The storage where the backups run differs from standalone agents and backups through your Veeam Backup & Replication console. If you are seeing the error message for a Standalone Veeam Agent backup: If you are seeing the error message for a VM or Machine on Veeam Backup & Replication Console: There may be additional reasons that may be preventing your backups from running. Please reach out to Support@Managecast.com to help troubleshoot and get your backups running successfully.

Microsoft Teams Backup with Veeam

When Veeam first announced the support of backup of Teams Chats via the Graph API, there was some general confusion that this was adding new capabilities to Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. The graph API that is mentioned refers to a change coming to the way Microsoft allows Veeam to access Teams data. Microsoft says it will be deprecating the old way Teams data is accessed by Veeam but is not an immediate change for all customers. When this change is rolled out to your Microsoft 365 organization, a configuration change will be required on both your Microsoft 365 Organization and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. Switching to the graph API is something that can be done today, but it does incur more charges from Microsoft. Veeam still does not support backing up Chat data for one-to-one, or group messages so the data in this section of the Teams app cannot be backed up: The “chats” that can be backed up by Veeam are “posts” or “conversations” within a Team as shown below: Here is the documentation from Veeam when you are ready to switch over to the Graph API Access, or when Microsoft deprecates the old “EWS APIs” access. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo365/guide/vbo_object_types.html?ver=70#team_chats

Legacy Backup copy Job “not processed during the copy interval”

“Some Agents were not processed during the copy interval.” “Some VMs were not processed during the copy interval.” Errors similar to above can occur for  periodic backup copy jobs created prior to VBR v12.  This means that the job was actively transmitting data, or had not gotten a new version of the backup to copy when the copy interval expires.   The resolution will differ depending on the cause. you may have an issue with the primary backup job used as the source that delayed its availability for the backup copy job to process.  If this happens repeatedly, you can adjust the scheduling of the backup copy job.   For example: if you want the backup copy job to run every 24 hours,  make the copy interval start the same time as the local backup job it sources data from.  This ensures the backup copy job processes the source items as they complete in the primary job. For more information on Backup copy jobs for VBR v11 please see the following link: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/archive/backup/110/vsphere/backup_copy_modes.html Note that in v12 the processing of periodic backup copy jobs were changed to allow more control over scheduling, so you are not likely to see this error in v12.

Veeam Agent for Windows “Sending e-mail report Details: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure”

When a certificate change to the SMTP server that your Veeam agent uses to send out notifications occurs, the notifications may start failing to send. Your jobs will begin displaying the warning message, “Sending e-mail report Details: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.” This can be easily resolved by running through the email notification settings and testing that it can connect. 2. In the Configure and test email notifications window, verify and test your SMTP email settings. Selecting Test Now will test the current settings. 3. If the Test Now fails, you may need to make a change to warrant Veeam to rescan the certificate. Veeam will only rescan the certificate if a change has been made here. Clicking the Mail server drop down, switch it to one of the other options, then switch back is a significant enough to warrant a rescan. Click Apply to initiate the rescan. 4. You should be met with an alert stating that the certificates are mismatched. Continue through the certificate window. Run the Test Now option to verify Veeam can now connect. There may be other reasons that could be interrupting the communication between your Veeam Backup Agent for Windows and the SMTP server.
