Hello,

That sounds like a technical issue. We cannot investigate such issues through a forum topic.
Please provide a support case ID for this issue, as requested when you click New Topic. Without case number, the topic will eventually be deleted by moderators.

May I ask what kind of backup job you use for this protection? I assume Veeam Agent for Linux with a file level backup job?

Best regards,
Fabian

PS: support can only help if you upload logs

Hi sapsam

I have asked one of my colleagues from the Linux Agent team to comment if it is supported to protect an SMB share with Linux Agent.

But may I ask, why are you not just using our File Backup jobs to protect your SMB share? No Linux Agent required.

Best,
Fabian

Hello,

Yes, if backup job contains SMB mount point(s) and configured as crash-consistent file level backup without snapshot.
