Eject USB-Drive from Backup-Repository in Veeam Backup and Replication
Hi folks,
I am looking for a feature or solution.
I need to make a backup of all vms to a HDD in a USB-Case. Used software is Veeam Backup and Replication 11.
Veeam-Host is a Hyper-V-VM on a dell-server, that has no usb3-ports. So I connect the USB-Drive to a Windows-10-PC and configure it as Backup-Repository. (Backup runs fine).
When I edit the Backup Job, I cannot find a checkbox to eject the usb-drive from the target-pc after the backup.
I thought about using a script after the job, but it looks like, as if the script runs on the veeam-host and not on the target-pc.
Do you have an idea, how to work around this? Or is it possible to add this as a feature request?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Christoph,
Why don't run a post-job script by leveraging this cmdlet to execute commands remotely? For instance, the script itself can be triggered on the backup server but commands are performed on the repository.
Thanks!

Re: Eject USB-Drive from Backup-Repository in Veeam Backup and Replication
Hi Petr,
nice idea, but I didn't make it. Giving up after two hours
Basically it works, but disconnecting the drive always failed.
- I tried "removedrive.exe D: -f" from Uwe Sieber, but it failed with illegaldevicerequest.
- I tried "pnputil.exe /remove-device 'SCSI\Disk&Ven_ICY_BOX&Prod_IB-366StU3+B\6&1f82c5da&0&000000'" but it failed when executed in a ps-script (when executed manually in a powershell, it worked (probably something with escaping some of the special characters) and I didn't find the "right amount" of escaping
So thanks for the hint, but I would like a checkbox more

Hi Chrsitoph,
Ok, thanks for the idea. We can consider the implementation of this functionality in future releases as long as we have enough similar requests.
Thanks!

Small business, no availability of cloud backups. I'd like the ability to eject the rotating USB media after the backup completes. Then any user could bring in the next disk, swap them out, world goes round.

Tandberg RDX has a tool for ejecting their RDX media after backup that is widely used in the Veeam field with post job processing.

Re: Eject USB-Drive from Backup-Repository in Veeam Backup and Replication
Hi,
I am new to this forum but I am looking for a solution to reject a RDX drive after a job has finished since a long time.
Downloaded the Tandberg RDX tool but cant get the batch file working.
Which switch need I to append if the drive letter is f?
Thank you!

Code: Select all
start "RDX Eject" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Overland-Tandberg\RDXManager\Manager" RdxCmdLine.exe

I would reach out to Tandberg RDX support. They know their tool better than us.
rdxcmdline.exe f:
should be the command I think.

Re: Eject USB-Drive from Backup-Repository in Veeam Backup and Replication
Thanks for your quick reply. I figured out that following line will eject the drive f:\
Code: Select all
start "RDX Eject" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Overland-Tandberg\RDXManager\Manager\RdxCmdLine.exe" --eject f
