Back Folder in Datastore

Post by bhunt »

I can't seem to find any reference to this so I'm posting here.

How do I backup a folder in the datastore on my ESXi? I have a folder where I keep ISOs commonly used for building VMs. How do I get these backed up?

Thanks,
Bernie

I don‘t think, this is possible with Veeam.
Veeam backup objects like vms or Agents.
Veeam can not backup files on a datastore.

File Copy Job is what you are looking for. It surely can pick any file from ESXi datastore to copy over.

p.s. Just noticed that screenshot in the documentation reflects exactly your case with [esxi01-das1]ISO as a source ;D
