Steps to rebuild raid on iscsi backup storage.

Post by Tutek »

Hi,
I need to rebuid my backup storage this is qnap iscsi disk connected to veeam.
Should I:
1.disable all jobs associated with this storage
2.copy all files and folders to temporary storage
3.disconnect iscsi from veeam (should I also delete this connection?)
4.rebuild nas with new raid
5.connect iscsi on the veeam server
6.name of this new disk the same like it was previous with the same drive letter
7.move back all files and folders.
8.rescan this backup storage in the veeam
9.enable all jobs

And here is my question, are these steps right? What I am afraid is if I connect new iscsi storage on the veeam, there will be new iscsi lun target IQN, so will veeam recognize this drive like this old drive, does it recognize all my backups that I move back to this new iscsi disk?
My veeam is 12.3 with postgresql.

Greetings.

Hi Tutek,

Veeam tracks the repository based on the added host and the path on that host (there are a few additional items it checks (I think) but these are Veeam internal identifiers)

So, in effect connecting the same host with the same volume letter ought be just fine. I would do a rescan of the repository once the iscsi target is reconnected, and also take a Configuration Backup of Veeam in advance "just in case".
