The backup process has failed due to the expiration of the trial period for the BDR Backup Server.

The default trial period for a newly installed backup server is 30 days. When this trial period expires, subsequent backups will fail with the following error.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Step 1: Navigate to the "Management" tab in the BDR Backup Server and click on the "License" menu.

Step 2: On the "License Management" page, click the "Register with Vembu Portal" button. Provide the email address and password associated with your Vembu Portal account, then click "Register."

Note: If you don't have a Vembu Portal account, proceed to Step 3, Step 4, and Step 5.

Step 3: Click on the "Sign up" link, which will take you to the Vembu Portal signup page.

Step 4: Fill in all the required details on the Vembu Portal signup page and click "Sign up."

Note: After completing this step, you will receive an account registration email. Click on the link provided in the email and set your password to access your Vembu Portal account.

Step 5: After successfully creating your Vembu Portal account, return to Step 2 and proceed with the registration process.

Step 6: After registering your BDR Backup Server with your Vembu Portal account, purchase and assign the necessary license units through the Vembu Portal.

Step 7: Once the licenses are assigned, go to the "Backups" tab and select "List Backup Jobs." Attempt to run the incremental or full backups again.
