Backup VBR Configuration on DataDomain

[dopamind]

Hi teams,

I naively configured the VBR backup on one of my repositories which is none other than a Dell datadomain.
I tried to do a restore but I don't have the path option in the wizard.
Is it possible to save the VBR configuration on this type of repository ?
Thanks

Hi dopamind

Yes, you can store configuration backups to a data domain. Restore also works for me on the server where the data domain was added:



Some limitation you may face:
- MFA enabled users: You must copy the configuration backup manually from the data domain to a temporary folder on your backup server. Direct restore from data domain is not possible.
- SOBR: Cannot be used as a configuration backup target and therefore not be used as a source for the restore
- New backup server: A new backup server doesn't know the data domain. Please copy the configuration backup manually from the data domain to a temporary folder on your backup server and restore from there.

Please contact our customer support team if you still have issues and my answer didn't helped you.

Best,
Fabian

Hi Fabian,
thanks for your answer but i can't select Backup repo Datadomain in the drop list, just "This server"
Have you enable CIFS on DD ?
just enable DDBoost a NFS.

update windows and reboot
Works fine now

Hi dopamind

Strange that windows update solved the issue. But I'm glad it's working now

just enable DDBoost a NFS.

I only tested as a DDBoost repository. But configuration restore from SMB and NFS repositories also works fine for me.

Best,
Fabian
