Repository rescan repairs metadata, but on disk issues that does not help. Check underlying storage first.
Try this first
- 1Run Repository Rescan in Veeam console
- 2Check underlying disk with SMART or vendor tool
- 3On failed disk: new repository, active full to it
- 4Keep old repository read-only until new runs are verified
