Azure Troubleshooting: VM is not in state that allows Backups

  • 아티클

Error

A notification Mail from Azure telling me that the backup is failed for one of my VM.

Description

VM is not in a state that allows backups.

Recommended action(s) : Please check if VM is in Running or Shut-down state. If VM is in a transient state, wait until it reaches Running or Shut-down state and retry the operation.

Time : 2018-02-14 22:39:54 GMT

Azure Portal is showing that the impacted VM is running. I suspected that there was some issue with it. I checked the Time of the error and then I verified the activity log for the last 24 hours. I noticed that when the backup Management Service is launched, a user after 4 minutes, deallocated the VM.

So, Azure Backup cannot backup a VM in transcient state, the VM must be in running  or shudown state.

The explanation in the notification Mail is now pretty clear :

Recommended action(s) :

Please check if VM is in Running or Shut-down state. If VM is in a transient state, wait until it reaches Running or Shut-down state and retry the operation.
