Only Local Backup Destinations available

[pbranscombe]

Hi Guys,

I've recently installed a test environment for VMWare consisting of 4 ESXi 4 servers + vCenter and have VEEAM installed in a VM.

When I try and specify a destination for a backup job (vStorage API with mode:virtual appliance) the only option available is "This computer or shared folder" ... Why am I unable to choose storage attached to the ESXi servers?

The other thing I should mention is that I am able to choose a Host as a destination if i choose a 'VM Copy' job as opposed to a 'Backup Job'.

Is there something I have missed during setup?

Veeam Backup Server
Win 2008 x64 VM, 1vcpu, 4Gb RAM
installed SQLExpress with defaults

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,
Pete
