Veeam error: Version string portion was too short or too long<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you see the above error when your “Veeam Agent Backup” jobs try to run, then you need to make a change to your Veeam database (on the Veeam server).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is perfectly mentioned in this KB4421<\/a> – but if you are using Microsoft SQL (embedded with Veeam) and have no SQL management studio installed – here is a quick guide on how to fix the above problem – just using OSQL.exe (included with SQL embedded)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locate the OSQL.EXE executable – I found it here: “C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\110\\Tools\\Binn”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using command prompt (cmd.exe) run the executable with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

osql.exe -E -S <SERVERNAME>\\<DATABASE><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Replace SERVERNAME and the database name (ex. “osql.exe -E -SVEEAMBACKUP\\VEEAMSQL2012”). When OSQL prompt is ready for input type the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
use VeeamBackup;
go
update dbo.[Backup.Model.EpHosts] set os_version='0.0' where os_version=''
go
exit<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n
That should be it – try to run your “Veeam Agent Backups” again!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
