sqlbackups through veeam not updating msdb tables

  • We have veeam backups happening everyday on a server where all sql databases are also getting backed up but the same is not reflecting in the msdb.dbo.backupset table. Why is it so ?  Where do I start troubleshooting ?

  • The SQL Server VSS Writer service is probably disabled. It might have been disabled if it was interfering with SQL Server backups.

    Before relying on someting like Veem, make sure you can restore individual databases and run DBCC CHECKDB against them.

     

  • SQL Server VSS Writer service is enabled. msdb captured backup data until a couple of weeks back when it stopped.

  • It is the SQL Server VSS Writer service which writes details of VSS backups to MSDB so that is where to start trouble shooting. Check the service account, check the server logs etc
