direct connection fails over to network mode

[snrpepie]

Hi,

When we do backups it will not backup over direct connection, it always fails over to the network backup witch is sooo slow. We are using fiber channel SAN.


How can this be resolved

thank you much!!

Please ensure that:
- HBA is properly installed in the Veeam Backup server computer, or software iSCSI initiator is configured correctly.
- SAN volume can be seen by operating system in the Windows Disk Management snap-in on the Veeam Backup server.

Hello Dave,

Please double-check your configuration for using SAN mode. Refer to these topics for more information:
