Problem with worker VM start initiated by Veeam on PVE

I really like VEEAM B&R with ESXi hosts. But today vmware is under broadcom and has ruined politics, so we need to move on to PVE.

I has same issue on one of three hosts, so i will try every solution, thanks.

I got info from Veeam support and we can actually leave the Veeam worker just in an idle/powered on state.

C:\Program Files\Veeam\Plugins\PVE\Service\
edit the appsettings.json
Under "Workers" you can change KeepTurnedOn from false to true
"KeepTurnedOn": true

Save and reboot server or Veeam PVE Service.

I am going to try this out for awhile and see how it does. It looks to barely use any cpu resources while idle but will eat up some ram but less risky then having it not power up correctly and miss checkpoints on VMs.

I did test what happens if you reboot the Veeam server with worker powered on, the Veeam worker will stay powered on, once a backup is started it resets the Veeam worker and you can see the uptime clock reset.

Seems good so far, will let it go for the rest of the week and see if it's more stable.

This config works for me, 45 days without issues.
 
In my situation problem was in bad qcow2 file (btrfs filesystem on host storage).

I was unable to migrate it, convert it, etc. QM check don't mate a difference.

I made another one, clone old to it with clonezilla and problem solved.
 
We have also set `KeepTrunedOn` to true. Now i want to change the network settings of my worker, but im not able to because its turned on.
I have tried turning it off in proxmox, but veeam keeps showing it as online.

Is there a way to turn the worker off without having to change the config back and testing the worker?

I had a case opened a while ago too, but it was just closed afer a few days because of "no ressources". I tried to escalate it, but the escalation team basically told the same. I asked why they can't just keep it open until someone has got the time to process it? - the answer was again similar. In short: if you use the Community Edition, don't expect any form of support - they did't even accept it as a bug report...

have you tried logging into the veeam host and workers and installing she keys. To get into the workers I had to get them into single user mode and create myself an account I also noticed that the firewall on the workers doesn't have ssh enabled, nor is vim or net-tools installed. I am having a different error and I need those for troubleshooting.
Hope that helps.
