Unable to restore to NFS datastore
Hi,
I'm in the process of evaluating Veeam backup. I'm trying to restore an entire VM to an NFS datastore (just a redhat server exporting a datastore directory, where the VM files live), but I'm always getting this error:
Failed to restore item "<vm name>". Inactive datastore nfs.
I get the same error message (inactive datastore) when I try to expand nfs datastore.
Am I missing something?
Regards,

Re: Unable to restore to NFS datastore
Hello, can you access the datastore using VIC Datastore Browser?

Re: Unable to restore to NFS datastore
Hi, Gostev.
Yes, I can access the datastore using VIC browser. Virtual Center, VCB and Veeam Backup are all installed on the same physical machine (in case it matters...)
Thanks,

In that case I think we will need all logs from Help | Support Information to investigate. Please send those to support@veeam.com.

Re: Unable to restore to NFS datastore
That is not a problem, as explained in the Technical Support section of the Release Notes we do provide assistance during evaluation period. Besides, it is in our best interest to carefully investigate all possible problems with the product.

Re: Unable to restore to NFS datastore
I have a similar problem here. Inactive Datastore. Again an NFS store that is fine via the vi client. Any suggestions?
