When configuring a staging SQL server for Veeam Explorers, the following error appears when a malformed server name is provided: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 – Connection string is not valid) The parameter is incorrect
This error occurs when the staging SQL Server name has been specified using a UNC path, as shown in this example:
To resolve this, update the SQL Server name value to specify the SQL Server's hostname or IP and the instance name. Hint: Use the same formatting you would use to connect Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to the SQL Instance.
