Hi,
Promox 9.2 - vm Windows server 2016.
In Option Qemu Guest Agent is enabled
ISO virtio-win-0.1.285.iso installed.
Qemu-gest-agent has been installed with qemu-ga-x86_64.msi
After install vm as been restarted.
Window service is running ans startup auto
But "qm agent 104 ping" return "QEMU guest agent is not running".
Therefor backup with PBS cause trouble.

After install vm as been restarted.

Has it been cold started? I.e. powered off and powered on?

It's fairly new, have you tested them well? The page in the wiki has been updated yesterday, that v302 is tested and not yet ready for production

Upgraded one few VMs , no problem with Virtio SCSI but I was able to reproduce problem only with the reproducer as no i/o intensive here.
Tests were done after fix : https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/issues/1453

For Qemu Agent itself , I'm testing if editing dcomcnfg.exe permissions is required to fix VSS Event 8194.
