Renaming PC and renaming backup folder

Post by candrews »

I have TWO Pcs that were renamed.
The previous backups were going to \\10.1.1.22\backups\ and the job created the folder "Backup Job OLD-PCNAME"
After renaming the PC, the jobs were still going to the folder with the old PC name.
I reinstalled Veeam, still going to the old folder. is there an easy way to point to a new folder?

Hello and welcome to the community Christopher.

You need to recreate database to update the backup files name. Please keep in mind that if you want to change the backup file name too - you should not point backup job to the existing folder.
