The “Job aborted due to server termination” error in Veeam occurs when the backup job is unexpectedly interrupted due to the backup server shutting down or restarting. This can be caused by scheduled system updates, maintenance tasks, or resource constraints that force the server to reboot during an active backup operation.
Suggested Solution
To prevent this issue, review and adjust scheduled tasks and updates that may cause the server to restart during backup jobs:
- Check Scheduled Tasks
- Open Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc) and review any automated tasks that may trigger a restart.
- Disable or reschedule tasks that overlap with backup job execution times.
- Review Windows Updates:
- Go to Settings > Windows Update and check if automatic updates are set to restart the system.
- Configure update settings to apply outside backup job windows.
- Consider using Group Policy (gpedit.msc) to prevent automatic restarts.
- Check Power Settings:
- Ensure that no power-saving settings or automatic shutdown policies are enabled that could interrupt the backup job.
- Ensure that no power-saving settings or automatic shutdown policies are enabled that could interrupt the backup job.
By proactively managing scheduled tasks, updates, and system settings, you can prevent unexpected server terminations and ensure uninterrupted Veeam backup operations.
