Mounting NFS in Veeam

Post by PeqX »

Hi Forum
In my setup i have a Windows10 Pro UK as Veeam Server - and the storage/repos on a Synology DS918+

But I cannot add the NFS share in veeam - just saying the hosts isn't available.

Code: Select all

NFS Server is unavailable, or the specific share cannot be accessed
Then I did some digging into and found out that the share actually is working when mounting from CMD line - which is no problem - so I know the share is working:

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32>mount -o nolock -o anon 10.100.1.90:/volume1/Veeam Z:
Z: is now successfully connected to 10.100.1.90:/volume1/Veeam
The command completed successfully.

C:\Windows\system32>mount
Local    Remote                                 Properties
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Z:       \\10.100.1.90\volume1\Veeam            	UID=1024, GID=100
                                                			rsize=131072, wsize=131072
                                                			mount=soft, timeout=0.8
                                                			retry=1, locking=no
                                                			fileaccess=755, lang=ANSI
                                                			casesensitive=yes
                                                			sec=sys

But looking through the logfile in veeam - I'm only seeing this:

Code: Select all

[16.03.2020 16.23.31] <158> Info     [FC] GetNfsFileCommander: hostName 'This server'
[16.03.2020 16.23.32] <01> Info     Creating splash form

[16.03.2020 16.24.34] <01> Error    [Veeam Backup and Replication] NFS server is unavailable, or the specified share cannot be accessed.
Should I not be able to use a NFS share as repos directly under Backup Infrastructure/Backup repositories - instead of the SMB share I have to the same folder now ( but after 2x cyptolocker attack inside hostincenter) I want to secure as much as possible - thats why I want to use NFS instead of SMB/CIFS

Any advise ideas are welcome :-)

Hi PeqX, with Veeam B&R v10 you should be able to do that. Do you have a support case ID for this issue? As per the forum rules, such questions should be addressed directly to our support team and case ID should be provided when posting on forums. Thanks!

Hello,

Can you please make sure that you specify path to the NFS share in a proper format "server:/folder" on this step of the wizard?

Thanks!

We didn't get a support ticket number from OP, so, cannot provide you with the solution found. But support engineer should be able to fix the issue - the OP didn't come back, so, support team must have found a solution for him. Thanks!

For anyone else who found this thread looking for a solution, we ran into the same thing. For us it was just a typo in that NFS is case sensitive. We had the "V" in volume capitalized.
