VeeamZip backup moved to new repository through SOBR no longer in configuration database

Post by stuartmacgreen »

I think I have hit the limitation of VeeamZip within B&R. Let me explain.

I took a VeeamZip of a VM. I want to keep it for a few months. The VM is deleted from main source.
I chose a repository, also used by backup jobs.

Weeks later...
I had to perform a change of format for this repository volume.
So used the Migrate backup data through a SOBR repository technique.
Create a SOBR with the new volume repository and add the old volume repository.
Place old repository into Maintenance and do the Evacuate action.
Once complete I remove the new repository.
Map my backup jobs to the new repository.
Remove the SOBR, highlights that it still has backup records against this SOBR - one of the records is the VeeamZip entry.
I proceed.

I did a rescan of the new repository expecting the VeeamZip backup record to re-appear... alas no.

This standalone backup is now outside of Veeam and no way for me to import it, as of course it is not a Backup Job, and doesn't have a .vbm file.
So have lost trackability of the backup file now.

What should I have done to keep traceability of this while at the same time being able to move this around my repository infrastructure?
Export backup?


Thanks

Stuart, please investigate this with support. Regardless of everything you did, I don't see how it is possible that the rescan process does not pick up a VeeamZIP backup file that is physically present in the repository. Thanks!

Rescanned the repository one more time. Still did not appear.

I have then used the (forgotten!) Import Backup option and selected the file that way.
All is good. It is showing under the Disk (VeeamZIP) tree view.
