Cant add network path as backup location

Post by MarksJHF »

I just installed the beta for Veeam backup office 365 and wanted to use a network path where to backup will be downloaded to.
first i get an error saying i need to use an UNC path but after using an UNC path it says folder not found.

i've used a local folder on C now but would like to use a network folder instead any idea how ?

Hello,

Currently, connection to a destination target is done via Veeam service account. If you want to save backups in a shared folder, you should grant service account access permissions to this folder.

Thank you!

Hello,

i have the same problem

I run veeam on 2008 r2 in a domain

I have a data stotage on 2008 r2 in domain

For use a unc, i change the service veeam in services.msc with the domain\administrator

Now, i can use a unc.

But i dont want tu use the administrator domain account.

I create user in AD and add access on the unc on the data storage.

Change the service in services.msc with the new user created .

But now the service don't start.

What is the autorization on the user ad on the local machine for use veeam deamon ?

Thanks

AFAIK, this account needs to be local admin to have full access to the db and all the libraries.

EDIT: service account should have full access permissions to this folder: \ProgramData\Veeam\Backup365 and repository folder

Thanks i managed to get it to work.
you indeed need to ad the service account to the local administator group
Under services set the veeam service account as log on as a service on the Veeam backup for Microsoft office 365 service
then reboot the server and it should let you add an UNC path as backup repository

greetings

[MERGED] Cannot change Repository Location

Hi guys,

if I try to change the location of the repository to a UNC-path, I get the error "not found". I think it's a bug.

As this usually isn't an issue, is this problem something that can be resolved in future releases maybe? I mean that you don't have to manually give the correct permissions.

Accepted as a feature request. Seems like a setup wizard step prompting for credentials is required. Thanks for the suggestion.
