VBR, backup USB disk.

[damian321]

Hello, I've been using VBR on few Machines with success it works fine with Ubuntu/Debian. the one problem i have found is im not able to use snapshots on externally attached high-speed disks (usb 3+), all jobs fails and in log i see the disk ( device type of [USB] is not supported.

is there any option in veeam.ini i could enable to force the usage of such disks? all the disks are btrfs with subvolumes, i can make manual snapshots, but veeam complaints 'there are no objects to backup'.
thanks

Hello Damian,

Veeam Agent for Linux does not back up volumes that reside on USB devices and SD cards.

yes i understand that, but is there any option i could force to ignore device type?

Hi,

Right now there is no option to ignore the disk type.

However, you can run a file-level job without a snapshot and specify mount points of those USBs to be backed up.

Thanks!
