Hello and welcome to the community cksolutions,

Can you please clarify what backup mode was used in the job setup? Thanks!

I`m using:

Mode:
(X) Entire machine (recommended)
Destination │ Back up the entire host for fast recovery on any level.

Destination:
(X) Local
Backup mode │ Back up to a locally attached storage device.

So i went for the full backup that should go on usb disk mounted in /media/usb-drive/

I`m using veeam free agent version on ubuntu server

Hi,

I've seen this too in Linux Mint. Unmounting and mounting to a different mount point helped, which isn't a solution IMHO.

cksolutions,

Try to switch the mode to volume level backup and select only the specific volumes of your machine (this would make mounted USB not included and you can start the backup job). Cheers!

Hi guys,

Thanks for your replies.
I tried both ways but not working.
Any other suggestions?

Thank you!

Hi,

The software tests whether the destination is local only in UI. That is, you can create the job via CLI. Overall, I agree that UI should allow creating jobs poibted ti USB devices, we'll fix that in future releases.

Thanks!
