Veeam NFS server - shared folders pointing into one local folder

[kgajda]

Hi

I'm trying to separate folders view via Veeam NFS. There are two shares
1) default one (created during/after install)
(registry entry)

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Veeam\Veeam NFS\Shared Folders\{7bc9c3ad-0cbb-4b82-a97a-a2b44a9e8c50}]
"nfsFolderName"="/VeeamBackup_VEEAM_MG"

2) created by me (for ISO files etc)
(registry entry)

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Veeam\Veeam NFS\Shared Folders\{19200000-1680-1600-1000-000000000001}]
"nfsFolderName"="/ISOs"

The problem is, that both shares are pointing in the same location, which has been set during/after Veeam Backup installation
(registry entry)

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Veeam\Veeam NFS]
"RootFolder"="S:\\ProgramData\\Veeam\\Backup\\NfsDatastore\\"

My question is:
- How to provide unique local folder for each NFS share?

for example:
1) Perhaps this one will leave as default, but it will be nice, to modify

Code: Select all

"nfsFolderName"="/VeeamBackup_VEEAM_MG"  -> local folder "RootFolder"+"Backup_Restore\"  (S:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\NfsDatastore\Backup_Restore)

2) Different local folder for ISOs

Code: Select all

"nfsFolderName"="/ISOs"                  -> local folder "RootFolder"+"ISOs"             (S:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\NfsDatastore\ISOs)

Hello,

I'm trying to separate folders view via Veeam NFS. There are two shares

hmm, I'm not sure I understand the overall goal... the vPower NFS path is defined in the repository settings. No need to do anything in the registry.

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110 - the "Instant recovery write cache folder"

The Veeam server is not an NFS server for general purpose, if that's the goal

Best regards,
Hannes

Hi

For general usage I'm using linux-based NFS server (Ubuntu LTS), so this is not the case

My Veeam NFS is provisioning ISOs for vSphere environment and I wanted to declutter folders (separate them as the shares).

Hello,

My Veeam NFS is provisioning ISOs for vSphere environment

the software is designed to present a vSphere datastore for backups - not for ISOs or any other type of files

Best regards,

Yep, but my point is that Veeam NFS server supported many share mount entries (like I posted in first post), then it could support many local entries (that can be matched with share mount entries).

(example registry entries)

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Veeam\Veeam NFS]
"RootFolder"="S:\\ProgramData\\Veeam\\Backup\\NfsDatastore\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Veeam\Veeam NFS\Shared Folders\{7bc9c3ad-0cbb-4b82-a97a-a2b44a9e8c50}]
; leave as default, so this will point into
; S:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\NfsDatastore\"
"nfsFolderName"="/VeeamBackup_VEEAM_MG"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Veeam\Veeam NFS\Shared Folders\{19200000-1680-1600-1000-000000000001}]
; this one will have different mount point, so it will point into
; S:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\NfsDatastore\W10_ISOs"
"localFolderName"="W10_ISOs"
"nfsFolderName"="/ISOs"

But it is up to You
