VAL: Unable to add LVM objects to backup in B&R

Post by rgj »

Hi,

Support ID: 02434767

I'm trying to configure a backup job in the B&R console.

The server in question only needs backup of some of its volumes. When trying to add the VG in the console i get "Specified path is invalid", so it probably expects a path matching ^/.*
The documentation states: "For LVM volumes, type the name of the LVM volume group whose volumes you want to back up, for example: vg."

So something went wrong between the documentation and the actual code.

BR,
René

Hi,

There was a mistake in User Guide - backup of VGs as a whole is not supported, you need to specify LVs that constitute the group separately. The guide will be fixed shortly.

Thanks

Consider it a feature request then :-D

Specifying a VG and then Veeam automagically selecting all LVs underneath that VG.
