So you can’t rename your Veeam server

Just logged in and discovered my Veeam server is not working. Both the Veeam service and the SQL service refuse to start. Looking around the internet it looks like renaming a Veeam/SQL server is not good for your Veeam/SQL installation and I might have done exactly that. Posts date back to 2013.

Since I haven’t actually done anything with Veeam since the original installation, I’m just going to repair install and go from there. So far so good.
