Start-VBRZip and Network drives

[andy204]

Hello,

i am trying to use Start-VBRZip to write a backup to a network drive. It doesnt matter if i mount the network drive inside the powershell or not, i get an error when using the network drive. If i use a local drive, everythink works fine. I could not find anything in the docs if this is not working.

When i use VeeamZIP in the Gui everything works fine.

any ideas?The skript is really easy _P and i am sure, that the error depends on the network drive.

Skript:

Code: Select all

$Folder = “X:”
$VM = Get-VBRServer -name "vcenter.jojo.local" | Find-VBRViEntity -name "ns0.jojo.local" 
Start-VBRZip -folder $Folder -Entity $VM

Error:

Code: Select all

Firstly, if you're writing to a network share, you need to double check whether the given computer account has write permission on that share.

Secondly, check under which account veeam service is executed. Try to switch from local system to administrative account and see whether it helps.

Thanks.
