Veeam Agent for IBM AIX or Veeam Agent for Oracle Solaris operating in standalone mode is unable to connect to its configured Veeam Backup Server. Backup jobs fail to start, and attempts to resynchronize or edit the connection fail with the following error: Self-signed certificate This behavior occurs after the SSL certificate on the Veeam Backup Server has been changed twice since the agent last connected successfully.
This issue occurs because Veeam Agent identifies the Veeam Backup Server by the certificate stored in the agent's local database, and the Veeam Backup Server retains only its current certificate and the one immediately preceding it. When the certificate is changed while the agent is connecting regularly, the agent finds its stored certificate among those retained, confirms that the server is unchanged, and records the new certificate. When the certificate is changed a second time before the agent has reconnected, the certificate stored by the agent is no longer retained by the Veeam Backup Server. The agent cannot confirm that the server is the same one it was configured for, and the connection is refused.
New Backup Chain After Reconnecting Deleting and recreating the connection to the Veeam Backup Server causes each recreated job to start a new backup chain. The first run of each recreated job will be a full backup.
