Add local storage to backup server running in a VM on Hyperv

[The B]

Hello,

(first off, I spent some time reading Veeam's documentation, but was unable to find the answer)

we're testing Veeam, as we want to move out from DPM. We have some Hyper-V hosts, and we are running Veeam in a VM inside one of the Hyper-V hosts.

I created a vhdx disk and attached to the VM that is running Veeam, but I'm not able to see it and add it as a "Backup repository".

In DPM one attaches a vhdx drive, and the add it to the "storage pool disks", how is that done in Veeam?


thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the community!

You should go to Backup infrastructure choose Add new repository -> MS Windows server -> Veeam backup server VM (by IP or DNS name) -> here you can press "populate" and should see all attached disks to the VM. Thanks!
