    Are you running ESXi with a free Hypervisor license?
    Veeam and other backup vendors require at least Essentials or better, which unlocks the required API for ESXi.

    Can you please provide the logs for this job from C:\ProgramData\Veeam so we can analyze them. Did you open a Veeam case? It‘s higly recommended.

    Regards Daniel
