Veeam Linux Agent Volume backup on 4TB failes

[its-user01]

When I backup /dev/xxx size 500GB it all Works.
When I backup /dev/yyy size 4TB it does not Work.

They are mountet the same way, so is there a linze for the volume size?

Without knowing what the error is you are receiving it is a bit difficult for us to say what may be going wrong. You can always contact support for assistance however we have multiple customers backing up large volumes without issues with the agent and 4TB shouldn't be an issue.

The error is:
Failed to perform managed backup
No objects to backup
So it looks as Veeam cannot see the volume

[nielsengelen]

Could you tell me which type of filesystem this volume is? Is it Ext3, Ext4, BTRFS,... ?

[its-user01]

It is ext3

[nielsengelen]

That shouldn't be an issue, could you open up a support case for assistance (as they will most likely need to check logs and run some tests like lsblk -a).

I cannot do that, because we have only trail license to Linux agent, because we are testing, before we buy;)
I have also tried to maken an Image backup of ther server. The backup whent fine, but the 2 volumes was not in the Image backup.
When I have an Image backup, is it then possible to restore it to VMware?
I can only se "Instant Recovery to Hyper-V" and "Restore to Microsoft Azure". And button "Instant Recovery" i grayed out.
At the moment we only have Veeam Standard, so do we need Enterprise edition to restore to VMware. (We upgrade to Enterprise in 14 days).

You cannot restore Linux-based physical machine directly to ESXi host. However, you can export its disks to .vmdk files and then create VM, based on the exported disks. Thanks!

[its-user01]

To restore Linux-based physical machines directly to ESXi host, does that requeire Enterprise edition?

[veremin]

Sorry, I meant you cannot restore such machines directly to ESXi host. Currently we do not have this functionality. So, the only workaround is to export disks as .vmdk files. Thanks!

[its-user01]

Ohh… did not see that you wrote cannot;) Sorry;)

I ninja edited my original post That must have been the reason for your confusion. Anyway, glad that we've clarified it.

Should other questions arise, don't hesitate to let us know.

Thanks!

Actually you can, since we provide support during the official trial period. Thanks!

Hi!

Failed to perform managed backup

How exactly is the drive attached? Any chance it's a USB drive?

Thanks!
