XCP-ng Not Showing as Virtualization Source After Config Restore in Veeam
-
Hi everyone,
I’m currently testing Veeam Backup & Replication 13.3.2 Beta 2, which includes the new plugin for XCP-ng. I’m running the beta on a physical Windows Server.
Here’s the situation:
1. I had an existing Veeam installation on this server.
2. I uninstalled it completely, then installed the 13.3.2 Beta 2 version.
3. The installation went fine, the license was accepted, everything looked normal.
4. However, when I tried to add XCP-ng as a virtualization source, it was not available in the list.
5. I tried troubleshooting but couldn’t find anything obvious.To rule out any leftovers from the previous installation, I:
6. Reformatted the entire physical server.
7. Performed a clean installation of Windows Server (fresh OS).
8. Installed Veeam 13.3.2 Beta 2 again — clean environment.
9. At this point, before restoring anything, the option to add XCP-ng as a virtualization source was visible.But then:
10. I restored my Veeam configuration backup.
11. The restore went smoothly.
12. After the restore, XCP-ng disappeared again from the list of available virtualization sources when trying to add a new one.So now I’m stuck:
• Fresh install = XCP-ng option appears.
• After restoring configuration = option disappears.
• I’m out of ideas.Has anyone seen this behavior, or is there anything I might be missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
If I understand correctly, it is related to VEEAM itself, right? If it's the case, you might have a faster answer on VEEAM forums (also it would be great to submit them those kind of bugs so they can potentially fix it). Maybe there's someone around here having the same experience, we'll see
