Notes on HyperBack VM Tasks for KVM / Proxmox

Details

Before running a HyperBack VM task on KVM / Proxmox, make sure the targetcli command is installed. In some configurations, it is not installed by default, which can cause HyperBack to fail.

If the targetcli command is missing when the task runs, the following message will appear in [ActiveImage Protector install path]\logs\KVM\AipService.log.  

2026-05-11 17:10:44.940 LOG_ERROR [proxmox] targetcli /iscsi ls | grep iqn; bash: line 1: targetcli: command not found (CBaseProxy.cpp):651 
2026-05-11 17:10:44.949 LOG_INFO  [proxmox] Remove snapshot finished. error:-101 (KvmApi.cpp):146 

Workaround

Please check whether the targetcli command is available on the KVM / Proxmox host. If it is not installed, please install it.

# dnf install targetcli

Debian(Proxmox), Ubuntu

# apt install targetcli-fb
