Unable to rename repository?

[danswartz]

I have an existing repository on an NFS share. I wanted to rename it.

Name ID Location Type Backup server
Repository_1 {0151548b-7f4e-40f1-b6cf-8eb102a912ec} XXX://tank/veeam nfs

so per the documentation, I tried:

veeamconfig repository edit --name Repository for --name Repository_1
Error: Unable to edit repository of type "on share". Please use UI.

So now what? Is there a way to delete, recreate and scan the current contents to do the same thing?

Hi,

That's a current limitation: names for repositories of "shared" type are created automatically and cannot be edited. There is currently no distinction between "local" and 'shared" target if you use CLI to create a repo.

That is, if you want give share repository a different name, you should follow these steps:

1. Mount NFS folder locally on some /nfsmount mountpoint

2. Create a repository atop of it via CLI:

Code: Select all

veeamconfig repository create --name MyNFS --location  /nfsmount

3. Edit the backup job so that it is pointed to the new repository:

Code: Select all

veeamconfig job edit --repoName myNFS for --name BackupJob1

4. Delete old repository:

Code: Select all

veeamconfig repository delete --name Repository_1

Thanks
