I've just created a protection group with two laptops. Subsequently, I set up a backup job with the following configuration:
Windows Backup Job > Workstation > Managed by Agent > Computers: Protection Group > Backup Mode: Entire Computer without USB > Destination: Local storage > Local Folder: E:\Produktionsmaschine
Whenever I use this method, I consistently receive the following error message (there are no issues with any other backup jobs) - Why is there a problem with the Local Folder?
We are using VBR v12.0.

Local drive means, drive E must be connected to each laptop.
My question to you, where is drive E connected to? Your backup server?
In that case, you need to configure your backup job to use a Veeam backup repository, not a local drive.
yes, we have a storage system connected to our backup server.
I understand, I would then have to connect our virtual drive (from storage system) to each laptop... okay, that's not a good solution. Then my only option is to use the repository.
