Veeam Backup and Replication
RPC error:Access is denied. Code: 5
Veeam Backup and Replication setup with application aware processing requires a user account that has admin access to the virtual machines you wish to backup.
The user account must be in the format domainuser and not [email protected]. If your user account is in the format [email protected] you will be receiving this error:
Failed to prepare guest for hot backup. Details: Failed to check whether snapshot is in progress (network mode). RPC function call failed. Function name: [IsSnapshotInProgress]. Target machine: [192.168.1.116]. RPC error:Access is denied. Code: 5
Failed to index guest file system. Veeam Guest Agent is not started
Changing the user account from [email protected] to domainuser resolves this issue
