Hello,

What account do you use to connect to vCenter Server? Is it a full admin for the entire datacenter?

Thanks!

[giti]

yes,it's full admin and i can backup on network mode.

[Vitaliy S.]

That's strange, cause the error above states something about wrong permissions. Let's wait what our support team finds out after reviewing the debug log files.

i have esx host that vms are on it's local datastore.
my repository is on san.
i have physical backup server that directly connect to san.
LUN appeared in Windows Disk Management.

I'm also not sure about your setup. Do you have only host local storage and try to use direct SAN mode?

[giti]

hi foggy
yes,i think my setup have problem.
i can't use direct san when i have local datastore on host for my vms?

[Gostev]

i can't use direct san when i have local datastore on host for my vms?

Correct. Direct SAN mode requires that your VMs are stored on SAN.

[giti]

Thank you all for your replies

[giti]

so what can i do for fastest backup with this plan?

[saintdle]

HOT ADD mode is probably best, http://www.veeam.com/kb1054

[Vitaliy S.]

What's your current bottleneck for this job?

[giti]

sorry for my delay
when use network mode, bottleneck is on source.

[giti]

HOT ADD mode is probably best, http://www.veeam.com/kb1054

hi saintdle
now i config hot add mode,but its not work .
error:
Unable to allocate processing resources. Error: No backup proxy is able to process this VM

Does the proxy server have access to the source datastore? Kindly, also check this KB article describing limitations of using hotadd mode. Thanks.

yes,it's Virtual Machine on a host where source VM’s disks are stored.

[veremin]

Have you checked the limitations mentioned in the referenced article? If none of them applies to your infrastructure, open a ticket with out support team and let them find out the root cause.

[giti]

yes,i checked them.

As mentioned above, if described limiations don't apply to your situation, and the said issue still persists, opening a ticket might be the best idea. Thanks.
