Now, find which application owns that PID: Without it, your backup jobs are dead in the water
netstat -aon | findstr :443 You will see output similar to this: TCP 0.0.0.0:443 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4588 Have you run into a different process hogging port 443
Your heart sinks. You know port 443 is the lifeblood of Veeam’s communication (encrypted traffic between the backup server, hosts, and guest interaction proxies). Without it, your backup jobs are dead in the water.

Have you run into a different process hogging port 443? Mention it in the comments below—let’s crowdsource a full list of offenders!
