Problem setting up linux repository

[fill_uk]

Hi Everyone, I am hoping someone has some advice that will help me solve a problem I am seeing.

I want to do some testing with hardening linux repositories in v11. I have built an Ubuntu VM in my Hyper-V environment and am working to this guide to set up the repository https://bp.veeam.com/vbr/VBP/Security/h ... ry-account

When it comes to adding the server in Veeam I get an error installing the Data Mover Service as below

Error Installing Veeam Data Mover service Error: mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/opt/veeam’: Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/opt/veeam’: Permission denied

The accont used is the standard user set up as per the guide, it is however obviously missing something. I can create the folder on the server with an administrative account however this just leads the install to error creating a sub-folder.

Has anyone seen this before or know what I have missed?

Thanks

Phil

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

Please note that the best practice guide is on V10 and there were changes in V11.

You need temporary sudo permissions for installing the persistent data mover (new in V11)

Best regards,

Hi Hannes

Thanks, I hadnt realised that. I found som updated guidance and with a bit of effort to understand the credentials process I have the repository working now.

Thanks again for your help
