Issue: Sometimes veeam backup job won't complete (hung) in particular time and it does not backup any data, so when we try to stop the job and it won't help us and will remain in stopping state. So killing the backup job is only option using PID.
So we can find the corresponding backup job's PID using their log file.
Solution: The default log path C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup and you can find .LOG file with the below format.
| JOB.<JOB_NAME>.backup.log Filter those files with modified date and pick the latest date log file and Search PID:  Kill the job using taskkill option. Note: When backup job starts meanwhile in background there are a lot of MSSQL transaction will start for the backup job, If you kill the backup job using PID it may lead to corrupt backup job, try using your own risk. So mostly this is not a recommended way to stop the running backup jobs. |
