Excluding IPC$, admin$ and C$ - Netapp

[Kitkat]

Hi all,

I have added a NAS filer in the form of a Netapp. The backup job has successfully found all the shares with and successfully completed the backup. However, it has also found the 3 default admin shares (IPC$, ADMIN$, C$) because the backup of these 3 shares fails the whole job is then registered as failure. How can I exclude these admin shares please?
I have excluded them using the below paths and no joy:
‘\\ip\ipc$’
And also in the way they are presented in the job when failed: ‘hostname\hostname_CIFS:\ipc$’
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you
K.

Hello Kitkat,

Thank you for your post! Did I get it right: you are using Veeam B&R v11 and NetApp was registered as a filer for nas backup jobs? Do you store any content on these shares or the were preset but you do not use those?

Hi Dima,
Yes, I have configuring a Netapp as a filer within B&R v11 and we have 30+ shares on this filer, I have managed to successfully back these up. However, the job results have flagged 3 native admin hidden shares which are failing, I just need to exclude these. (we are not using these: IPC$, admin$ and C$)

Kitkat,

Thank you for update and sorry for the delay, can you please share the screenshot of your exclusion configuration? I believe the best way would be to add such shares to the exclusion list for the job, so let check why exclusions are not working.

Was there any update on this, I have a the same issue

Hidden and admin $ shares will be skipped by default with following product update.
Until then, please bear with current setup.

/Thanks!
