"Perform backup files health check (detects and auto-heals corruption)"

1. Edit the job
2. Go to the storage screen
3. Click on Advanced
4. Move to the Maintenance tab
5. Configure the settings

That might work, although I don't fully understand the question.

actually i want check my backup file not VM backup
because i just want get backup from a Directory (file base) backup

Hello Babak,

now i want get backup from a NFS path for example i want get backup every day from this path /usr/dump.tgz

Can you elaborate with what type of backup activity you plan to achieve it? With Linux agent backup job? Thanks!

[ejenner]

Oh, I think I understand.

I think you want to use guest file indexing. That will allow you to mount the backup file at the repository and pick out individual files to restore. Is that what you mean?

[baber]

no
i want use file copy as a backup job ????
actually i want get File base backup

[veremin]

No, Surebackup functionality is not meant to check consistency of files copied via file copy job. Thanks!

[baber]

so thanks but about file copy job :
can i use file copy job such as backup job ? it has same as backup job forward inc backup , reverse inc backup and retention policy , ..... ?

No, it just copies files when they change, and replaces older versions. If you want incremental backups for files, you should try using File to Tape job instead. This thread is worth checking (things might have changed since 2015, though).

Thanks!

But my repository is emc data domain and i need backup from some files
what do i had to do ?

[PTide]

You have to use either FileCopy if your DataDomain is accessible as CIFS share, or use FileToTape if you can emulate tape drive with some software.

Thanks!

[baber]

if i want use File To tape thereby my emc data domain is not useful and you said if use file copy it can not work such as backup job and use retention policy
now what do i have to do ?\

actually i want get backup from a path of linux server (/usr) every day . not full of my OS or Virtual machine
now what is your solution ?

[PTide]

If you want to backup files from Linux machine, you should try VAL. Just keep in mind that VAL supports only the following types of targets: NFS, CIFS, VBR repository, Cloud Connect repository.

Thanks!

Is that your means veeam agent for linux ? but after install agent it will get backup from VM
i want get backup from specific path of OS
is that possible ?

[PTide]

Right. If you can install the Agent on the linux machine that contains the specific path, then the Agent will be able to perform file-level backup of that path.

Thanks
