Failed to perform Backup (File too large)

Post by rui.rodrigues »

Hello,

I was trying to test Veeam Agent for Linux on a Mail server (Debian Based), but the test failed.
Received the below error:

Code: Select all

Hi,

That is unexpected as 267G should be enough to fit a 17G snapshot file. So, even if your edition is FREE, kindly contact our support team and post your case ID.

Thank you

I'm having the same issue. Have contacted support.

We are running CentOS7 with kernel 3.10.0-862.3.3.el7.x86_64 and Veeam for Linux 2.0.1.665.

Seems to be a problem with the USB drive formatted as FAT, which doesn't allow for a file that is 5.7 GB.
