Problem with restoring data from smb1/smb2

[virusek392]

Hi,
I need a version of Veeam Agent that allows me to create recovery media that will allow me to restore a backup from a NAS device that only supports smb1.smb2
Kind regards

Hi Lukasz,

I believe that if you create the recovery media on a Windows machine with SMB v2 enabled, SMB v2 can also be used after booting from that recovery media.
An older version of Veeam Agent is not required for this, since we rely on SMB support from the Windows Recovery Environment. By default, Windows Recovery Environment blocks anything older than SMB 3.
But even if we provided you with an older version of Veeam Agent (must be requested through support), it would still create the recovery media from the same operating system, with SMB 1 and 2 blocked. Also, an older Veeam Agent cannot read backup files created by newer Agent versions.

If you cannot create such recovery media, then as a workaround, you can copy the backup files to an external disk and restore from there.

Best,
Fabian
