Limitation on usable backup repositories via VBR?

Post by mikepegg »

Hi,

Is there a limitation on usable backup repositories with the agent?

Image

I have 3 backup repositories:
The default direct attached
storeonce catalyst
CIFS (via storeonce)

however only direct seems to work. The workaround is to choose "Shared folder" and go direct to the CIFS share but then I get no agent log in VBR.

Hi mikepegg,

On VBR side right click CIFS repo and check if agent permissions are assigned correctly (by default they are set to deny everyone).

[MERGED] Windows Agent & Veeam B&R repository help

Post by insearchof »

Windows Agent 2.0.0.700
Veeam B&R 9.5

trying to get Windows Agent from a Windows 2008 and Windows 2012 Physical server to backup to the Veeam B&R repositories.

When I select my veeam server it only presents the default repository.

I have several repositories defined in Veeam I have hit the refresh button a few times but only the default repository appears.

What am I missing here?

Thanks

Hi Tom,

Did you allow access to the repositories in the Agent Permissions? Thanks!
