a space is being added to backup location

[sdenman]

Testing out Veeam for Linux, I made a full server backup job. The job is failing I believe due to it putting a space in the path. I specified /media/nfs/Veeam as the target. The application is adding the path with a space in it. The job fails with the following. Any advise?

Hi,

Testing out Veeam for Linux, I made a full server backup job. The job is failing I believe due to it putting a space in the path. I specified /media/nfs/Veeam as the target. The application is adding the path with a space in it. The job fails with the following. Any advise?

Right, the application creates a directory named as <"hostname" + " " + "jobname"> on the target share. That is, the space is added by design, that has been tested and should not cause issues.

Did you configure the NFS target from the UI by choosing "Network" at the "Destination" step, or the share is just mounted to the local directory manually? If the latter, then please check if the error persists if you configure the share from UI.

The reason why I ask you to do that, is that during NFS configuration via UI the application checks if it has enough permissions on the share.

Thanks!
