We can't backup a raw device as we can't snapshot it so as it states you will need to exclude it.

[togenshi]

This process was working fine with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS though. See veeam-agent-for-linux-f41/handling-mult ... 39631.html

Do note the UUID is exactly the same.

Should I try using /dev/mapper/3600a09800059dbb9000002a955c35df0-part1 in /etc/fstab?

[nielsengelen]

Somehow we now see it as a NFS share so maybe the behaviour on 16.04 is different. You can contact support for insight to see if it can be resolved.

Case #02197219

Hi,

Could you try adding to the backup job by its mount point? Instead of this:

veeamconfig job edit --objects /dev/sda,/dev/mapper/3600a09800059dbb9000002a955c35df0-part1 for --name sloth

do this:

veeamconfig job edit --objects /dev/sda,/export/san for --name sloth

Thank you

Case [ID# 02197219] sorted it out. Got a patch and was able to backup and restore. Awesome work by the team. Had the patch within 2hrs of submitting the ticket even at lowest priority.
