Can Microsoft Azure Backup Server run on a Windows Failover Cluster Node?

Question

I have a Windows cluster with two nodes. I attempted to install Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) on one of the nodes, but encountered the following -
error: 'Invalid vault credentials provided. The file is either corrupted or does not have the latest credentials associated with the recovery service. (ID: 34513)'

Even after downloading the latest vault credentials, I continue to face the same issue. I am wondering if there is any solution for this error. Please provide assistance.

Additionally, I would like to inquire whether MABS supports installation on Windows failover cluster nodes

Hello @Akash Sharma Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Q&A platform. Sorry for the inconvenience this must have caused you!

Based on the details shared, I understand that you are trying to install MABS on one of the nodes in the cluster and encountered an error "'Invalid vault credentials provided. The file is either corrupted or does not have the latest credentials associated with the recovery service. (ID: 34513)"

As per support matrix - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-microsoft-azure-backup#using-an-on-premises-server

In short - This is not a supported scenario.

Sorry we cannot help you further in this matter!
