Cannot drill down into a specific directory

Post by schewee »

Just starting up with Veeam Agent for Linux for all my backup needs and ran into a bug.... I think.

I have a Zimbra Mail server installed (/opt/zimbra) and a add-on called Zextras which dumps backups of my mail database nightly into /opt/zimbra/backups

When trying to configure the Veeam Agent to only grab /opt/zimbra/backups I can't navigate into /opt/zimba. When I press <ENTER> to go into the directory I just get dumped out of the file selection screen and back to the file selection summary screen.

There are other directories in /opt/ with similar permissions to the root /opt/zimbra directory that I can drill down into.

Logs here for 30 days: https://files.fizi.ca/file/mI2tPPKP036n ... 531.tar.gz

Screenshots:

Snippet of what's inside /opt/zimbra. Lots of symlinks in there.

Best would be to open up a case to see if this is a bug or if something else blocks it. I haven't had issues before with folders with symlinks in there so that shouldn't be the issue. Maybe there is more information in the logs but support will be able to assist there.

I'm a free user. I don't think I can open cases. I followed the forum instructions by posting here.
