Veeam restore doesn't work in Morpheus

Infrastructure
1

Hello,

I integrated Veeam B&R, Enterprise Manager to Morpheus. It can perform backup however, restore is failed.
Veeam version is 12 and Morpheus is V.5.5.3.

Below is the error message from the current log. Is there anything I need to look at?

It looks like Veeam made changes that breaks the Morpheus integration in Veeam 12. That release just came out a month ago. If you are looking to use this feature in Morpheus I would recommend running Veeam 11 until Morpheus adds support for Veeam 12. From my testing it looks like just the restores doesn’t work with Morpheus and Veeam 12.

Thanks for confirmation @rboyd. Will consider using v11.

Hi Team,

I’ve integrated veeam to Morpheus and able to take VM backups successfully, Morpheus API able to trigger backup job in veeam.

Per Morpheus documentation when I try to perform restore it doesn’t work, Restore status under backups > history shows inprogress only and doesn’t change even after 36-48 hours. Have tried removing and reintegrating veeam to Morpheus but no change in behavior when we try to perform restore.

Morpheus version 6.0.3
Veeam version: 12

Unfortunately unable to get veeam version 11 for testing.

Any input/help is greatly appreciated.

Regards
Suresh Thakur

Hi Suresh,

v12 is currently not supported in Morpheus. As Bob mentioned, v12 of Veeam has changed the calls for restore and they no longer work in Morpheus. All other functions appear to be working other than restores. This will be available in Morpheus v6.2.7 which should be available soon.

Thanks
