Trying to backup the .snapshot folder in NFS share

Post by Tom Hagever »

Hello, Im trying to backup ONLY my .snapshot folder in my NFS share (ik its weird) buty veeam doesnt seem to see it.
I have 2 netapp sites, 1 nfs share from each one, both have snapshots and the setting of "snapshot visible to client" and both have all proxies in their export policy. When I added them to a backup job I edited the settings so that all folders will be loaded so that it wont exclude the .snapshot one.
HOWEVER, veeam is only able to see the snapshot folder of 1 nfs share and it could see all folders except for the .snapshot in the second one.
I added another nfs share from the same svm and it seems like veeam cant see his snapshot folder either so i guess it could be an svm setting that I dont know of?
Any ideas what could solve this?
Thanks in advance !!

Solved, problem was the veeam servers used nfs 4.1 to access the nfs file share, if the svm allows nfs 4 then they will access it that way.
What I did was to move the file share to an svm that only allows nfs 3 protocol and it showed the .snapshot folder
